All Fall Down (Embassy Row, Book 1)

By: Ally Carter

Narrated by: Eileen Stevens

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.

was hoping for more

I have listened to several books by this author before and loved them. When one did not come out in audio I even read the book not such an easy task for a someone with Dislexia. The problem I had with this book was I found the main Character Grace while whine. She gradded on me. I had to stop the book a couple of times and leave it for a day because I couldn't stand how whine she was I don't know if that is the performance or if that is how she was written or maybe a combination of the two. I am unsure if I will listen to the next book in the series. As for this one not my favorite by Ally Carter.

The story line

I liked how the story was put together I just wish it would have gotten to the point a little sooner

Confused

This book is very dramatic. It’s a sort of picture into a PTSD brain I think. The ending is a cliffhanger. I need to know what is going on! I guess I’ll have to hurry up and get the next one or forever suffer the anxiety of my confusion.

Another great book by Ally Carter!

I love Ally Carter's books and while I have to admit I didn't love it quite as much as her two other series, it was still great and good set up for the rest of the series. I read/listened non-stop other than a short break to sleep. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes a good book with clean language, no graphic sexual situations, a little espionage, and strong characters.

Wow

A page turner, really intense never wanted to put it down. The author nailed it again ally carter is an amazing author and genius. The narrator is spot on.
