520 $aHarley's a college guy, with a brain in his head. Those island-town tales about the ballet school and generations of hidden evils are for fools and old busybodies. Then Cassandra, one of the dancers, whirls into his life. Harley is at first enchanted. Then, he's doubtful. And then, he's terrified. But it's already too late.$bEvery summer, they come back to the island, graceful as a flock of birds, the girls from the ballet school at the top of the hill. Home from his first year of college and working on the family fishing boat, Harley is no more immune to their charms than his father was a generation ago; but he's also smarter, or so he tells himself. Dad's love affair with a ballerina led to a scandal and yet one more ugly story connected with Ocean Watch, the austere mansion that houses the school. Ocean Watch has been the scene of many odd happenings, including a young boy's unexplained death, and an attempted suicide ... But Harley is a level-headed guy. He is, at least until he meets Cassandra-gorgeous, talented, smart, and apparently crazy about him. Although Harley is nursing a heartbreak, since his hometown sweetheart married the town thug to get back at Harley for going off to school and leaving her behind, he falls hard for Cassandra. A magical interlude begins, as bewitching as any ballet, with long nights by the sea, and a familiar world seen through new eyes. His buddies scoff; then try to scare him off, but Harley is happier than he's ever been. As he and Cassandra grow closer, she begins to confide in him, especially about a game the dancers play.
520 1 $a"As Harley begins dating one of a group of ballerinas, he starts to become suspicious of the potentially threatening behavior of the rest. The narrative moves believably from ... romance to somewhat chilling horror ... Recommended for those who want more than just a romance."--"Kirkus Reviews""For those who like their ballet books with a touch of mystery and horror, "Unlovely" is a very enjoyable book. The writing is outstanding! There are sentences and paragraphs that are so hauntingly evocative you will want to read them two or three times ... It is a fun, fascinating read. The story moves as gracefully, beautifully and tragically as the ballet itself." --Ballet Connections"So many YA novels are written from a female perspective, so it's nice to occasionally read one with a male POV. Celeste Conway writes a believable guy in "Unlovely."" - Forever Young Adult"The right mix of mystery and reality. The murders are shrouded in mystery, creating a suspenseful atmosphere. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romance or mystery." --TeenReads.com"Chilling new young adult thriller. A reader of any age may become engaged in the well-written suspense of the story." --Reviewing the Evidence"This is a twisty, dark, deep story ... I was really blown away by [Celeste's] writing ... Intense and thrilling ... Complicated and deep, and layered and passionate, and beautiful and creepy, and scary all at the same time ... The writing in this book is so beautiful. This is a great book for anyone who likes [a] twisted and dark ... romance." --YA Asylum"Conway's newest has writing that [is] beautiful ... Harley's experiences hit on the unsettling feeling of returning to a hometown that is at times both strange and familiar ... with the extra peril of a longstanding mystery added in." --"Booklist."
