Wishful Wednesday was inspired by Waiting on Wednesday and Desperately Wanting Wednesday by Breaking the Spine and Parajunkee.
Wishful Wednesday is my own little version of "Waiting On Wednesday". Every week, I'll pick an upcoming book that I'm anticipating the release for and showcase it here on the blog. This week, that book is going to be All Fall Down (Embassy Row #1) by the super talented Ally Carter.
Conspiracy theory, check. Kickass heroine who won't stop at nothing to uncover the truth, check. Possible international cover-up, check. This book has ALL THE THINGS that I want in a mystery. I need it now!

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.
Ally Carter is a writer living and working in the Midwest. She loved school so much she kept going...and going...and going...until finally she had to graduate. Now she has degrees from Oklahoma State University and Cornell University and a house and a job and other very grown-up things.
Her life is either very ordinary or the best deep-cover legend ever. She'd tell you more, but...well...you know...

Nice! I'm on the street team for this one and was supposed to get an ARC but I think it either got lost or they forgot me. Too stressed with real life to keep asking for it though. Hope you enjoy it once you read it!

Have a GREAT day!

Oh my gosh, I would pretty much give ANYTHING to be able to get my hands on an ARC of this. I've been wanting to read this so badly, the premise of it just looks so promising and amazing. *g* Maybe it's just getting to you late, give it a little time. I totally understand about too busy to try to keep up with real life to keep asking.
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by. :)
I haven't read this author yet but I have one of her books on my shelf, this one sounds pretty good. :)

WOW
I really love Ally Carter, she's got a really great knack for writing YA mystery novels and I think that this book is probably going to blow anything else she's written right ut of the water. It promises to be such a great book, I hope it doesn't let me know. :)
