The Midnight Dance by Nikki Katz
1.0
I never explained why I rated this one star so here we go.
First off this was definitely a cover buy. I had recently gotten obsessed with ballet and dance in general so when I walked by this gorgeous cover I obviously snatched it up. That was mistake #1
Mistake #2 was me assuming this was a fantastical story? I don’t know why but I got the vibe that this was going to have some magical element to it. Which I suppose it did, but in the most boring way possible. I did like that boy though he was kinda sweet (couldn’t tell you his name).
There were just so many things wrong.
- the pacing
- the plot that wasn’t even a plot?
- bland characters
- dumb main character who thinks she knows everything
- insta love
- the weird master situation (I kept waiting for there to be a reveal saying that he was raping them all and they had stockholm syndrome) wasn’t he like 30 years old and they were like 15??
Idk there were more I just can’t remember it all. Anyway it’s such a shame because this author has a release next year that I was interested in but after reading this I don’t know if I want to chance it.
If I hadn’t had this book in my bag while I was waiting for classes to start, I probably have dnfed this after like 50 pages.

Spoiler
- why did that ‘plot twist’ with the sister reveal even happen- the weird master situation (I kept waiting for there to be a reveal saying that he was raping them all and they had stockholm syndrome) wasn’t he like 30 years old and they were like 15??
