Haunted Ballet #1
Snow Queen
FIVE YEARS AGO, CAMBRIDGE Ballet’s Sugar Plum Fairy vanished after performing The Nutcracker. Despite extensive city and statewide searches, no traces of her, besides her ballet slippers, were ever found. Every year since, another member of the cast has gone missing after closing night: a Spanish Hot Chocolate, an Arabian Dancer, The Dew Drop Fairy, a Flower. Nieves Alba, who as a thirteen-year-old played Clara in the first ill-fated performance, is now cast as the Snow Queen. On closing night, every police officer in Boston surrounds the theater, determined to catch the perpetrator whom they’ve dubbed “The Nutcracker.” Can Nieves break the curse, or will she be the next victim of America's favorite ballet?

I haven't read such a terrible story in a really long time. A young ballerina is groomed by an older man. She grows up and they start a secret relationship.
Spoilers!!!!!!!
she sleeps with him, ends up trapped in a snow globe, but it's kinda ok because her friend came in to save her. They both end up trapped in the globe and live their lives waiting for the door to open someday so they can escape, but they love each other and can visit other snow globes. No one ever explains how the older man gets anyone in the snow globes, or why they can visit other snow globes. The story ends with the man beginning to groom another child ballerina. This was a terrible story!

This is another book that was free in the author’s newsletter. It’s a shorter read, and on a topic I’ve not read about before. Ballet is something I know nothing about, so I found it very entertaining.
The story tells us about a young dancer who works her up way from a small role to the top of the bill.
Nieves Alba is in love with Mikail, the top dancer until he was injured and can’t dance anymore. What she doesn’t see is her best friend, a male dancer, who is more loyal to her than she realises.
Snow Queen is a great story, with a big twist at the end. One that I saw coming, but not in the way the author presented it. I’m not entirely sure I liked the ending. It was perhaps a little too surreal for me. Although, there was no doubt it was clever.
The most intriguing thing was the author’s bio, at the back of the book. It said the name Ava Quintana is the pen name for a best selling contemporary romance writer. I immediately wanted to know who it was. I checked Google, Amazon, and social media, and found nothing.
Those people who love a shorter read, like something a bit different that mixes romance, mystery, and fantasy, will love enjoy this.

A nice, twisted little fairy tale.

Not what I expected! There were some nice twists, and a new take on the Nutcracker legend. I enjoyed the fast paced tale with its sprinkling of mystery, mayhem, and romance.

This book truly gave me chills men preying on young girls using their dreams against them is just a nightmare come true.
