By Anonymous An African American ballerina takes a job at an elite boarding school only to find that the pristine campus contains just as much intrigue as the world of professional ballet: from aspiring dancers who will do anything to stand out to a dead body found in the campus lake, the school is full of mysteries on the brink of unraveling and characters who are not what they seem.A gripping thriller populated by realistic characters that draw you in and keep you guessing, Dark Turns is a must-read. Holahan has crafted a believable world that is as idyllic as it is dangerous, and you'll find it's hard to put the book down! I definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a great read (although you may want to clear you schedule first!).

A Boarding School/Ballet Murder Mystery/Romance By Monique Atgood This is a murder mystery about ballet students and professionals written by someone who has both a masterful encyclopedic knowledge of ballet and clearly in every scene in the book bursts forth her shining love for the art of ballet dance. It's fun to read a book when the author really cares about the subject.SYNOPSIS: It is set in a private boarding school. The school produces professional dancers somewhat like public universities produce professional football players. They are the pride and source of alumni donations, and are literally treated like 'prima donnas'. Nia Washington is a young professional dancer, nursing a broken heart and an sidelining injury, who takes a temporary job as a RA and a teaching assistant in dance. . On her very first day, she discovers a murder victim. The mystery unravels between students, revenge, secrets and a sweet romance with a fellow RA.What I liked: The dance imagery and infighting was so detailed I felt I knew the characters and could predict who would be a witch to whom. The sweet romance between the two RAs was cute. The writing was paced, the clues were liberally sprinkled throughout the story, and honestly, I just enjoyed the read so much I slowed down to savor it.What I didn't like: I thought Nia was way too easy. She had gone a year without any 'loving' then jumps in the sack with zero to little reasons/needs and she didn't equate sex with love. I also did not like her moral ambiguity. She gave no more thought to a grief stricken student's tearful confession than she gave to her breakfast. She did not empathize at all.IMO: (SMALL SPOILER) I liked and didn't like aspects of the book. One of the students has an abortion, which while it is a literary device to explain why she didn't come forward to be an alibi for the accused murderer, was glossed over, and no further medical or counseling was procured for the teenager. The main concern was how the child losing weight was effecting her dance and how it would affect the schools reputation and ability to solicit donations from alumni. However, the writer did such a good job that I, the reader found myself indignant and angry at both what this fictional character did, and how she was treated. So the book is well written with flawed selfish people. Oh and it has a good twist at the end. I was given an arc copy for a review.Technical note: the school is a non-denominational religious one, all students and staff would be required to attend chapel and they would have bitterly complained about it. It would have been nice to see a scene or two with the reluctant attendees in chapel services.

I could not make up my mind on whether I liked their relationship or not By Charlotte Lynn I saw it coming… I wanted to be wrong…The book started with a murder of a teenage girl. I was enthralled. The who done it part of the story kept me reading. I knew who did it, I kept guessing, I hoped I was wrong. The drama was to be expected in a book of teenagers who lived together 24/7, studying together, going to class together, and being in competition with each other for everything.What surprised me are the adults. I could not believe how clueless they were. How could they not see what was happening in front of them. Nia was the one that saw the most. Yet, she did not tell. She kept secrets until forced to tell them. I was interested in her relationship with Jeremy. I could not make up my mind on whether I liked their relationship or not. I am still unsure, but I know now what their relationship really was.Dark Turns takes the reader into the mind of a murderer. I loved every page. I recommend checking out the book.
