Review:

Grace’s mother died three years ago, and Grace was there. She swears that it wasn’t an accident, and somebody murdered her mother, but nobody believes her. Three years later Grace moves back to Embassy Row in Adria to live with her grandfather. Here she tries to prove she isn’t crazy and her mother’s death was no accident.

All Fall Down was amazing! I really enjoyed it and loved Grace. Ally Carter really outdid herself with Grace’s character. Grace isn’t crazy like other character’s opinions lead you to believe, but Ally Carter did a good job of showing Grace’s skewed sense of events. I was very sympathetic to Grace and the twist at the end was so shocking. There were so many good supporting characters, as well. The characters were from all over the world and had different cultures and customs, though I think that it could have gone a little more in-depth. This book had action, mystery, and really good emotional scenes.

There is nothing that I can think off that I didn’t like about this book. All Fall Down had amazing characters, the emotional component I look for in books, and action scenes that didn’t lose my interest. I recommend this book to Ally Carter fans. This book is probably more for high school students than middle school unlike some of her other books.
