Narration In Pursuance Of Books All Fall Down (Embassy Row #1)
A new series of global proportions -- from master of intrigue, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Ally Carter. Grace Blakely is absolutely certain of three things: 1. She is not crazy. 2. Her mother was murdered. 3. Someday she is going to find the killer and make him pay. As certain as Grace is about these facts, nobody else believes her -- so there's no one she can completely trust. Not her grandfather, a powerful ambassador. Not her new friends, who all live on Embassy Row. Not Alexei, the Russian boy next door, who is keeping his eye on Grace for reasons she neither likes nor understands. Everybody wants Grace to put on a pretty dress and a pretty smile, blocking out all her unpretty thoughts. But they can't control Grace -- no more than Grace can control what she knows or what she needs to do. Her past has come back to hunt her . . . and if she doesn't stop it, Grace isn't the only one who will get hurt. Because on Embassy Row, the countries of the world stand like dominoes, and one wrong move can make them all fall down.

As close to a three as it can get without actually being a three.#1 Ambassadors are kind of like superheroes/heroines, eh?#2 I don't know anything about being/living with an ambassador.#3 Review Time!Basically, All Fall Down is entertainment fodder with ambitions to develop into something less satisfying further on in the story. It's short, fast-paced with fun characters, sneaking and jumping and flipping authorities. Set in Embassy Row. In the fictional city of Adria, Valancia. There's aTo see review with gifs click here.Alfred Hitchock was considered to be the master of suspense. While his movies normally dont contain an obscene amount of gore (unless its that awful shower scene in Psycho) they have had a lasting impression on film and how crime was portrayed in film and TV.The man even made a movie about psychotic birds scary. Unfortunately, Ally Carter is no Alfred Hitchcock.Not that Id expect her to be a master of suspense (or even intrigue like the blurb suggests), with
I have no full review coming for this as I simply skimmed the book. It was interesting for the most part, but I wasn't invested in the characters or the story. I think this was just a bit too childish for me, unfortunately.Also, just to also, this book does feature slut shaming which I am incredibly against.

That...that twist!

They say it was an accident, that her mother was killed in the fire, but she knew the truth. Her mother was shot in the chest by a scarred man. But she was thirteen and they say thats just trauma thats talking so nobody believed her.Anyway, she was back in Adria again after three years and decided to stay for good. In her stay, she discovered that
I read this book so fast because it was one I literally could not put down! However, while it kept me intrigued, there were some flaws in my opinion. First, I had trouble connecting with Grace, she never stabilized enough for me to understand her. Also, by the end of the book it didn't feel like much was accomplished, it was a lot of going around in circles. Overall 3/5 stars; I will be reading the next book in the series.
5 Words: Politics, family, death, memories, lies.Having read Ally Carter before I was expecting action and intrigue and sass and teenage boys that act more like they're 25 than 15. I was not expecting this.And I was actually a little bit disappointed.It was a good read, a quick read, but it was rather slow in pace. It felt like there was quite a bit of unnecessary filler in the pages. Even with this, a few of the characters just fell flat, 2D images hovering in the corner.There are teeny tiny
