A Midnight Dance

By: Joanna Davidson Politano

Narrated by: Amy Scanlon

Length: 12 hrs and 9 mins

Publisher's summary

All theater romances are tragedies. Ella Blythe knows this. Still, she cannot help but hope her own story may turn out different than most - and certainly different than the tragic story of the Ghost of Craven Street Theater.

Yet as she struggles to maintain her tenuous place in the ever-shrinking ballet company, win the attentions of principal dancer Philippe, and avoid company flirt Jack, Ella cannot deny the uncanny feeling that her life is mirroring that of the dead ballerina.

Is she dancing ever closer to the edge of her own tragic end? Or will the secrets that are about to come to light offer release from the past?

Mystery and romance make the perfect dance partners in this evocative story from fan-favorite Joanna Davidson Politano.

I would have given 5 stars x3.

I really liked the concept of the story line. Surprisingly I find that I do not like ballet, (!) however, I was able to relate with the way she was caught up with her dancing and faith.

Absolutely beautiful!

A true love story with all of the right people! Touched me deep in my soul!

Absolutely wonderful!

I don't usually leave reviews, but this book deserves it! I loved everything about this story. There are few books that have ever pulled me in so completely. This is one of those rare stories that makes you feel every moment! A clean read with an overwhelming amount of passion and romance...along with continual twists in the plot! I could not stop smiling from pure enjoyment. I am an avid reader, and this is one of the best storylines I've ever read. And the the narrator brought it to life in the most amazing way! Love, love, loved it! I didn't want it to end.

My favorite I’ve read of hers yet

Performance was perfect and I enjoyed the story in general. I might listen again as there are a couple things I missed and am curious about.

story...NEVER, saw the the twist coming.

I won't spoil it, but ohh...what a dreamy book, this was, it brought fourth , sooo many emotions. Amy Scanlon, is the best reader, I have ever set ears on, she nailed every voice and emotion, so thoroughly! it was such a perfect listen

My favorite thus far!

A Midnight Dance is my favorite by Joanna Davidson Politano so far. The writing is beautiful and intimate, in her usual style, but she takes this book to a whole new level. The narration only adds to the story's passion and depth.

Awesome!!!

Love the Spirit. I think the best one yet. First Phillipe than Jack then Phillipe than Jack and then...

SO GOOD

it's hard to review this without spoilers because there is surprise upon surprise, but it is amazing! You'd be hard-pressed to find a better story

What a wonderful story!

Such a creative tale. The many characters' lives are woven into a beautiful tapestry. Complexity, heart and faith are the main factors behind this transformative story.
Thank you for sharing this story with me.

Beautiful! Don't read too many reviews first.

Let me first say, DO NOT READ other reviews which may contain spoilers before reading this book. I had read very few and so was not aware of WHO would become the MC's and WHAT the ultimate story would lead to. I loved the surprising rise of some characters and was caught completely unaware by some of the twists and plot changes. Discovering these along with the main character was truly an experience.

I first purchased this on audible for myself to enjoy but have since shared the paperback with my older daughters. This is for anyone who loves to feel uplifted and edified while transported into another world.

A historical setting with an unusual plot that takes you behind the scenes of ballet and theater in the Regency Era. The characters grow and evolve, causing them to tarry with you long after the book is finished. The actual 'midnight dance' is truly a magical experience when it comes full circle again.

I have enjoyed other books by Joanna Davidson Politano, but A Midnight Dance was exceptional. Those who have ever sought God's help with a passionate desire to achieve something grand will be able to relate to the re-shifting of focus the MC goes through. A Christian story without being overly preachy that readers of all beliefs can enjoy. Good can be found in all environments.

I would highly recommend this book.
