Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where the participants tell their readers about an upcoming release they are waiting to read. This week I've picked All Fall Down by 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 an 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 all stand like dominoes, and one wrong move can make them all fall down.

I like the sound of this upcoming YA mystery/thriller with that espionage theme, so this book looks like a promising release.
Yep, this one's in my awesome 2015-release shelf as well. There are quite a few with crime themes coming out next year - it looks great! :)
ReplyDeleteIt does definitely seem to be a trend happening for upcoming releases, and I can't wait to read this one!
DeleteI'm waiting on this book myself! Oh wow, have you read carters Gallagher Girls and Heist Society?! They're so good, and she's such a good author, here's hoping you love it! :D
ReplyDeleteI am yet to read either of those, but after seeing this one I'm definitely going to check them out. Thanks for the recommendations Amanda :)
DeleteI'm a huge fan of Ally Carter so I can't wait for this! I already know I'm going to love it and I wish it could come out sooner...
ReplyDeleteWaiting for an anticipated release to come out is always difficult - luckily there is still a heap of good books out there to tide us over until then!
DeleteI am so excited for this I love Ally Carter!
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many good things about her which makes me even more excited to read this. Thanks for stopping by Keely :)
DeleteI am so ridiculously keen on this one. I think YA thriller/mystery (when done WELL) is becoming one of my favourite YA sub-genres. And this one sounds especially good. :D
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way Chiara - I've read so many amazing thrillers this year and am looking forward to more which look like they're going to be big hits in the YA book world.
DeleteOhh, this one sounds fantastic, doesn't it?! I can't wait until its release. I haven't read any of Ally Carter's books before, but I love mystery/thrillers, so I personally find this one quite intriguing.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely does Kara! I haven't either, but like you the fact that I'm already a mystery/thriller fan definitely has piqued my interest for this one.
DeleteI'm so excited for this one! I actually just sent a request for an ARC to the publisher, and am waiting to hear back. I hope they mail it to me. It looks so good!
ReplyDeleteHopefully you get accepted, this one looks great!
DeleteI hope the espionage and spy stuff is done well in this one! Hope you get to read it soon.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Books with those themes can either go down really well or just fall short of the mark. Hopefully it works out :)
