A Midnight Dance

By: Joanna Davidson Politano

Narrated by: Amy Scanlon

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.

Beautiful story!

I just love this author and this book was no exception. Love the reminders of God’s magnificent grace and love, and the love story throughout with both man and God Himself. Loved the twists and turns!

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

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.

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

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.

A favorite…

Joanna D. Politano has quickly become a favorite author and I was so glad to have found her work. A Midnight Dance did not disappoint. Such a rich story with a plot that pulled me in immediately. The character development was phenom. The plot twists and turns were wonderfully unexpected. Would recommend 10/10. For sure.

Endearing Little Gem

I rarely leave reviews. Mostly, because I read so many books.
But this little gem deserves one.
Let’s just say it left me in tears and endeared me to the entire storyline. I was entranced…

Magnificent

This book is a beautiful masterpiece. Joanna Davidson Politano has an incredible gift as an artist of words and a master storyteller. Her characters are palpable and you can see, hear and feel the essence of them. And identify with them. And the way she weaves a story together, well, I am in awe. I listened to it twice, because after it was finished I realized I had missed much in the many twists and turns of the story. The second time through, I was able to absorb the deeper levels of truth that she wove in so beautifully throughout the story. So so good!
