Unlovely

Book Overview

They look so sweet and beautiful...but what is the dark, unlovely truth? Harley's a college guy with a brain in his head. Those old tales about the ballet school and the evils hidden within its walls are for the town's fools and gossips. Then Cassandra, one of the dancers, whirls into his life. Harley is at first enchanted. Then he's doubtful. And then he's terrified. But it's already too late.

Customer Reviews

Totally not unlovely

I got this book for two bucks at an Ollie's Bargain Outlet about a year ago, captivated by the description on the back of the book and in dire need of a good, mystery novel. I'm still not sure whether or not fantastical elements are present in the book, as at its end it left many questions unanswered, which is part of the reason why I gave this book four stars instead of five. The writing was amazing, absolutely beautiful and lyrical, and the characters were very relatable and realistic. The love story (also very realistic) in the midst of the mystery was probably my favorite part. The ending was another reason why I gave only four stars because I felt unsatisfied upon finishing. There was so much suspense and buildup and to find out (or rather NOT find out) exactly what was going on and see that it wasn't worth ALL the buildup created was a little frustrating. Still a good read nonetheless.
