Eh. Girl of undetermined age from an undetermined part of an undetermined country (for what it's worth, she reads as about twelve or thirteen and the setting is presumably Canada or the US) goes off to a highly prestigious dance school that...does nothing to prove that it deserves that prestige, basically. The focus of the story isn't dance, though—it's a mystery (something about ghosts or a cult or both; it's not fleshed out well enough for me to understand). There's not really enough space for the characters to develop much or the mystery to be fully explained (and the entire book takes place over what, less than a week?). I suppose the author wanted to leave space to explore the 'haunted' aspect in future books, but it just didn't do much for me.

I didn’t realize this was only 100 pages. I read it start to finish on my lunch break in about 30 minutes. The story was interesting but progressed far too quickly. The mystery was over before it really began. The “mean girl” was a good friend within minutes.

3.0 out of 5 stars

The pacing on this was a bit quick and therefore made it less scary then intended. I felt like more details and time could have made it scarier instead of the mediocre “murderous cult/but is it something more ooooooooooooo” 100 page short story that it was. It just had the chance to be more and I felt like it was a bit of a let down.
