Romance, secrets, a dance contest, intrigue and danger. Dance Jam Productions a
new YA mystery by author Celise Downs has it all.
Dace Jam is running a contest for new regular dancers on the popular teen show. A dream come true for Mataya Black Hawk. Teamed with a recent acquaintance, Jared, Mataya is thrilled when they qualify for the finals. But Mataya and her friends are in danger.
Then contestants become targets. She and her protectors find themselves in a battle against time. She is very attracted to her charming new partner, but will have to solve the mystery, overcome her past, and share her secrets if the relationship is to grow.
Celise Downs has created a charmingly real cast of characters who grip heart and mind as they struggle with real life angst, danger, and intrigue in Dance Jam Productions. Readers will emphasize with characters, recognize daily situations and be pulled right into the terror and suspense of the fictional plot by the very smooth blending.
An entertaining read for the 13-17 YA readers and not bad for a lite afternoon read for adults either.
