OLDER FICTION
Black, Yelena

Dance of Shadows

(4) YA Vanessa enrolls in the New York Ballet Academy to investigate her sister's disappearance from the school. Frightening occurrences, suspicious staff and students, and more missing ballerinas--all of whom were cast as the Firebird, the role Vanessa is now rehearsing--point to a sinister supernatural power. Horror movie–style scares provide some thrills, but inconsistent internal logic and superficial characters make for an underwhelming dark fantasy.
