When Megan Van Helsburg gets kicked off the U.S.A. Climbing Team, she has no choice but to return home and leave her climbing career behind. With no coach, no money, and no prospects, she joins the corps de ballet determined to improve her strength and agility. But the ballet theater is in dire straits. Not only do a series of murders break loose, but the ballerinas are becoming deathly thin and brain-dead. As Megan investigates, she meets Bellamy, a tortured young man who lives beneath the depths of the theater. Megan falls hard and fast for Bellamy, who becomes her mentor, but something is off about him.

It isn’t until the company announces they’re doing Giselle for the fall performance that Megan realizes the parallels between the ghost story and the lives around her. Megan must find a way to not only save her climbing career, but balance her feelings for Bellamy, and stop the murders and dying girls before she, too, is numbered among the dead.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Redpoint Crux<\/strong> Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellamy drew Red close, wrapping one arm around her back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d Red hissed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His eye caught hers. \u201cDancing with the one I want to dance with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t the story. We can\u2019t do this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t care.\u201d Red opened her mouth to argue again, but Bellamy stopped her. \u201cI thought I could dance the part of Prince Albrecht, but I can\u2019t. I can\u2019t dance with anyone but you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut\u2026I\u2019m supposed to be killing<\/em> you,\u201d she whispered. \u201cDancing you to your death.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell then, dance me to my death.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellamy lifted Red up, her leg stretched out behind her, pulling her in next to him as he gently circled her around. She brought her leg forward, rotated it out to the side, and spun into a series of turns, his hands around her waist. Her white tutu fluttered. She paused. Their faces were inches apart, the music soaring around them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red allowed herself to fall into the choreography, even though everything in her screamed to stop. This was wrong. She needed to stop this. She needed to be looking for Nathan\u2019s murderer. She needed to avenge her father\u2019s death. But Red couldn\u2019t help herself. She relaxed further into the steps, and everything that had passed between them during the past few weeks rushed forward. Everything melted away except for her and Bellamy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t take it anymore,\u201d Red whispered. \u201cThis back and forth. You care, and then you don\u2019t care. I can trust you, and then I can\u2019t trust you. Which is it?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can trust that I care more than you\u2019ll ever know,\u201d he said, voice low. Red sighed as she dipped down again.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
