Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that allows bloggers to share which books we are most anticipating.
This week I am waiting on The Midnight Dance by Nikki Katz (10/17/17):
Description on
Goodreads:
When the music stops, the dance begins.
Seventeen-year-old Penny is a lead dancer at the Grande Teatro, a finishing school where she and eleven other young women are training to become the finest ballerinas in Italy. Tucked deep into the woods, the school is overseen by the mysterious and handsome young Master who keeps the girls ensconced in the estate – and in the only life Penny has never known.
But when flashes of memories, memories of a life very different from the one she thinks she’s been leading, start to appear, Penny begins to question the Grand Teatro and the motivations of the Master. With a kind and attractive kitchen boy, Cricket, at her side, Penny vows to escape the confines of her school and the strict rules that dictate every step she takes. But at every turn, the Master finds a way to stop her, and Penny must find a way to escape the school and uncover the secrets of her past before it’s too late.

Why I’m Waiting:
I’m not going to lie; this gorgeous cover is a bag part of
my waiting. But, also, I love stories that involve ballet. I wish there were
more of them in YA. This sounds like a dark, mysterious thriller of a ballet
story and I cannot wait to get my hands on it. I can’t wait for October this
year!
What are you waiting on this week?
That is one STUNNING cover ♥ I love how her dress doubles as a clock!! Great pick Nori, it sounds really good too :)
