Two ballerinas. Two fates. One stage.

It's the carefree '80s and Juliette Lucian-Sorel has it all. She's the greatest dancer to ever grace the floorboards of Palais Garnier, she's royalty to her adoring fans, and Paris is at her feet. Or so it seems . . . 

Katarina Vyatka is defecting from behind the Iron Curtain, desperate to save herself and her career. Or so she claims . . . 

What happens when the Princess of Paris rescues the brightest star in the history of Bolshoi? Will the Paris ballet stage be big enough for both of them? Sparks fly and rivals become lovers as they set their lives ablaze in a torrent of secrets, intrigue, and grands jetés!

Contains mature themes.

As usual, McKay's writing is recognizable, with elegant prose and a sophisticated vocabulary that draws readers in from the start. Thanks to the vivid descriptions of the settings, readers feel transported to the classy Paris of the 1980s, between the Palais Garnier and Juliette's apartment, which she likes to brag about, given how often she mentions it is on Rue de Rivoli. McKay is one of the few writers who gives chapters titles, and it is something I really appreciate.
McKay has a signature style and uses familiar patterns, where psychology and drama are intertwined, making her books intense reads: a lot of angst, mystery, love, conflict, and angry sex, all with a crescendo of drama. The two main characters are strong and likeable. Everything I needed was there, and the book was excellent—until Chapter 25.
Now, hear me out: I don't mind drama or separation. I don't even mind death, no matter how cruel, as long as it serves the story.Overall, I loved most of the book, but the overdramatic final part didn't quite live up to the rest. I know the recipe McKay uses is really loved, but I am ready for a more surprising dish.

Good story but the ending...
