Synopsis

Passion. Horror. Betrayal.From the nationally bestselling author of the Lily Wong thriller series comes a “stunningly original” (F. Paul Wilson) dark journey into Brazilian mysticism about a desperate mother who rises from the slums to embrace Quimbanda magic amid her quest for the ultimate revenge.Across forty years, three continents, and a past incident in 1560 France, Serafina Olegario tests the boundaries of love, power, and corruption as she fights to escape her life of poverty and abuse. Serafina’s quest begins in Brazil when she’s possessed by the warrior goddess Yansã, who emboldens her to fight yet threatens to consume her spirit. Fueled by power and enticed by Exú, an immortal trickster and intermediary to the gods, Serafina turns to the seductive magic of Quimbanda. It’s dangerous to dance in the fire. But when you come from nothing, you have nothing to lose.

Goodreads review by Rachel (TheShadesofOrange) on April 26, 2022

4.0 Stars This horror fantasy novel explored so many fantastic themes surrounding inequity, abuse and female sexuality.  The subject matter definitely reminded me of one of my favourite novellas, Goddess of Filth.

Beautiful, gripping read! The storyline of Tori Eldridge’s Dance Among the Flames is so incredibly strong, the voice so unique and clear, the character development so rich, that I did not want to put this book down… or end.

Goodreads review by Katie on March 16, 2022

Unlike most of the other reviewers, I've never read another book by the author. And, based on this one, I don't intend to. I found it to be deeply problematic in the way it fetishizes Brazilian culture. I also found fault with the way the characters seem to speak a combination of English and Portugu......more

Read an advance copy: Another page-turner from Tori! This is NOT a Lily Wong tale! (but just as good) I dove in with no advance knowledge or preconceived ideas and did not resurface until I was done! A fantastic intermingling of time periods and mysticism results in an intense ride that makes me wan......more

Goodreads review by Linda on January 17, 2022

The cost of justice is high in Dance Among the Flames, born in the fire of Tori Eldridge’s radiant imagination. The journey begins in a Brazilian favela where characters are transformed by the need for hope. They discover power can flood through a body, allowing them to become more than human. I tho......more
