Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Perfection doesn't ask for permission. It demands execution.When Diana and Charlotte reopen a ballet studio after years away, they expect sore muscles and rusty technique. They don't expect the theater-or the mirrors-to watch back.From the first class, something is wrong. Reflections move too quickly, whispers echo beneath the glass, and Helena, their most devoted student, dances with inhuman precision. One by one, the dancers begin to surrender to a rhythm that feels alive, a force that promises perfection-but at a terrifying cost.Diana knows this hunger. She has fought it before: the belief that her worth depends on achieving an impossible ideal. Now she must decide whether to obey the voice that corrects relentlessly or destroy the mirror before it consumes them all.The Perfect Step is a psychological horror novel about obsession, body image, and the parasitic pull of perfection. Some reflections don't show who you are-they show who you were taught to become.Content Warning: Contains psychological horror, violence, eating disorders, and themes of bodily control.
