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.
I'm a huge fan of everything Ally Carter writes. All her books are among my favorite beach reads, and this did not disappoint. Like Gallager Girls, the book has a strong female protagonist, is packed with excitements and twists and turns, and sprinkles in friendship and romance. However, I highly recommend buying this book and the second book at the same time... I finished this one on vacation, with no way to get the second one, and was quite frustrated with myself for not bringing the whole series...
