The Midnight Dance by Nikki Katz
3.0
3-3.5 stars seems fair.
I thought the beginning was stronger than the ending, especially the pacing and the eerie atmosphere. The Master was really creepy and there’s a creepy mystery vibe.
The ending relied on a lot of coincidences, and people happening to be in the right place at the right time, which is a pet peeve of mine and the main reason why I liked the beginning more than the ending.
The motivation of the villain was a little strange. Revenge for being bullied as a child? If that’s what it was, it seemed like the grudge he held was monumental compared to the offense.
This reminded me of Girls with Sharp Sticks by Suzanne Young and The Jewel by Amy Ewing.
Overall an enjoyable debut and a very fast read.
