I’m usually not that interested in reading the sequel to a book I only gave three stars to, but that’s exactly how I feel right now. Her chapters are not too long, her writing is simple-maybe too simple-and her characters fun and somewhat relatable, though sadly I personally cannot relate to (slightly) immature teens. I nonetheless felt unspeakably engaged into the story, despite the immaturity of the characters, the lackluster romance and, as I said, the limited mystery to the murder of Grace’s mother.Īlly Carter knows how to write a book in a way that will make the reader not want to stop reading.

Not her new friends, who all live on Embassy Row.
Not her grandfather, a powerful ambassador. Someday she is going to find the killer and make him pay.Īs certain as Grace is about these facts, nobody else believes her - so there’s no one she can completely trust.
