Nia Washington is an incredible ballerina. She fought her way up from the streets and was nearing the pinnacle of her profession when an injury and a broken heart derailed her career. Taking a temporary job at an elite boarding school in Connecticut was supposed to give her time to nurse both body and soul. It was supposed to be a safe place to launch a triumphant comeback. It is anything but. Shortly after she arrives at the beautiful lakeside campus, she discovers the body of a murdered student, and her life takes a truly dark turn. It's not long before she is drawn into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with a ruthless killer. And Nia isn't the only target. She must use all of her street smarts to protect her dancers, save a wrongfully accused student, and rescue the man she loves. A stunning and suspenseful tale of passion and betrayal, Cate Holahan's Dark Turns will take listeners deep into the mind of a murderer and the woman who must put an end to the killing.… (meer)

This book wasn't bad it just wasn't great. I felt a lot like a YA thriller because the overall vibe was rather light and the mystery wasn't there. The twist was clear from the beginning so it lost a lot of the merits of calling itself a "thriller." I will say that this would be a great introduction into the genre if you are just starting to explore thrillers and are coming from a YA background. If you read a lot of thrillers like I do, this just can't hang. I do love the ballet aspects and the boarding school setting. I have read another book by Cate Holahan and I gave ti 5 stars so clearly her writing has improved since this book was published. I almost wish this book had been written by Megan Abbott. I loved the ballet setting and I think a darker more eerie tone would have done wonders for the atmosphere of the book. (

In order to rest her ankle and tendons, Nia has taken a job as an assistant ballerina at an exclusive prep school. On her first day, the body of a young girl washes up on the lake’s shores. Nia is immediately alarmed and determined to discover who is responsible. Interwoven with intriguing, and handsome, teachers, untrustworthy students and an ex that can’t stay away, this book seemed to have it all. It was well written, engaging and very hard to put down. (

I seem to be in the minority when it comes to this book. I was not over joyed or head over heels in love with this book. In fact, I struggled through the first half of the book. I was not feeling the suspenseful build up surrounding the killing of the young girl that Nia found in the water. Also, the fact that the story took place at a school for ballerinas did not add any dimension to the story. If anything I found myself doing a little comparison to Black Swan. In my eyes I felt this book was lacking in how dark Black Swan was.

Nia was alright but she did not pop off the pages and make me fully intrigued with her. At times I wanted to scream at her because I found her naive. Also, I found the relationship she had in the story to be dull as well. Yet, the second half of the story did pick up and was better. The ending was a bit predictable. (
