Mars Chang has received a Bechler fellowship to Allegra Academy’s summer dance intensive, an incredible honor which could put her on the road to much future success. Unfortunately her roommate is Alex Bechler, queen of the Academy, but Mars tries to stay out of her way.

Then the headmistress asks Mars to replace Alex’s supplements; in exchange Mars will get a full scholarship to the year round Academy. She can’t say no.

But as Mars gets to know Alex and her secrets she decides to give the supplements to another fellowship student, with disastrous results. What is in these supplements? Why did the headmistress want them given to Alex? What’s going on at this crazy place?

So, I guess this is “Suspira-“ lite for the YA crowd? The whole thing went a little off the rails at the end, but other than that it was just fine.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

This cover is so beautiful! I love it. I think I was hoping for more “devil” in devil’s in the dancers. It just didn’t go in the direction I had wanted it to. I also can not get over Mars just staying and letting everyone walk all over her and be so mean and petty. This story was short and sweet but I don’t think it was my thing in the long run.
