Summary
Black Swan meets Killing Eve—the brilliant new novel from Erin Kelly.
Swan Lake is divided into the black acts and the white acts. The prince is on stage for most of the ballet, but it's the swans audiences flock to see. In early productions, Odette and Odile were performed by two different dancers. These days, it is usual for the same dancer to play both roles. Because of the faultless ballet technique required to master the steps, and the emotional range needed to perform both the virginal Odette and the dark, seductive Odile, this challenging dual role is one of the most coveted in all ballet. Dancers would kill for the part.
Ava Kirilova has reached the very top of her profession. After years and years of hard graft, pain and sacrifice as part of the London Russian Ballet Company, allowing nothing else to distract her, she is finally the poster girl for Swan Lake. Even Mr K—her father, and the intense, terrifying director of the company—can find no fault. Ava has pushed herself ahead of countless other talented, hardworking girls, and they are all watching her now.
But there is someone who really wants to see Ava fall....

a slow start but got into it
I enjoyed the story but it was too long. Perhaps the abridged version would have been better. Nevertheless, enjoyable, lots of twists that I didn't guess and some that I did. First chunk is way too long but stick with it.

Not sure how this got such amazing reviews.

Slow burn but worth the wait
It took a bit of time to get into its flow but once the layers started to reveal themselves it was quite addictive.

Great story!
I loved the story, interesting twists and interwoven agendas, but i really wished for a different narrator. That was the downside for me, and at I nearly gave up listening in the early chapters. I persisted and was glad despite my annoyance with the delivery.

A Must Read
This book took me till the 2nd act before I was hooked...I decided to stick with it and I was suitable rewarded.The twists and turns were brilliant and the book held its own throughout.I was rooting for Ava/Juliette from the start.The narration was also outstanding.I literally had this book on audio everywhere I was.A definite one to read.

Overall a good listen
I found this book a tough listen. The story is very good but this was spoiled for me by the narration. It was overly dramatic and sometimes every word was enunciated to extreme and was really quite annoying.

Wonderful and full of suspense and drama!!
I really enjoyed listening to this novel and could conjure up clear images of the places, characters and drama that unfolded as the author does a wonderful job of describing everything so vividly and inviting you into the world of Watch her fall! Can’t wait to read the next one! Xxx

Compelling Story
An absolutely compelling storyline. The backdrop of a professional ballet company combined with the intriguing characters meant I listened to this book in less than 2 days.
I only believe that the audible version is let down by the narration. Imogen Church is a great narrator and I usually gravitate to books narrated by her. I just feel she was not right for this particular novel, the way she portrayed some of the characters really grated with me.
Overall though the story won through.

Fantastic
I've just listened to this in two days, I found it engrossing with plenty of twists. I enjoyed the narration, I thought it suited the book very well. it's one of the best books I've listened to so far this year. I haven't really come across Erin Kelly before so will be checking out her other books, I hope they're as good as this one
