How far would you go to have what you most desire?

Work hard. Study hard. Lie. Sneak. Use dark magic...

Wanting something in the worst way is a very dangerous thing.

I had the pleasure of beta reading this story and it's a good one. Young Lindsey will do anything to be a famous ballerina, so working with Madame Destinee is a dream come true. The dream turns to nightmare as Lindsey begins ot realize that Madame Destinee will sacrifice everything and everyone to maintain her talent.

Book Blurb:

“I only desire your talent...”


Twelve-year-old Lindsey McKay's biggest dream is to be a famous ballerina. But after moving to New York, she ends up at the Community Center with a teacher who’s a burly bear in tights.
When she meets Madame Destinée, the teacher of a top dance school who offers her classes for free, Lindsey can't believe her luck. In exchange, she must perform in the school’s exclusive midnight shows, ones sure to make her a star. But something’s not right...
One by one, the other dancers disappear. Each time they do, a music box with a figurine just like the missing ballerina joins Madame Destinée’s growing collection. If Lindsey doesn’t discover the truth about the dance school, she might end up a tiny figurine herself.
