Dark Fairy Tale

One wish and Blaze can have anything her heart desires -- no strings attached. She knows this is too good to be true, but the temptation proves to be too great for the young woman who only wants to dance. Because of her background, she knows she'll never be able to afford proper lessons and the opportunities that come with, but all that could change with just one wish.

What Blaze is about to learn, however, is that despite what she's been told, all things have a price. But is it a price she's willing to pay?

THE DANCE by S.L. Williams is more of a dark fantasy than a horror story, but I enjoyed the fairy-tale quality of the author's writing. The main character is developed just enough to create concern for her well-being, but not overdone in details.

Throughout the story, I was never certain who Blaze could trust and who was trying to harm her, and I didn't know where Williams would take the tale of caution. This is an entertaining version of the "be careful what you wish for" warning.

As always,
