How to get away with Murder

First of all let my start by saying I’m not even sure how they came up with this show. There are so many twists and turns and surprises that I’m impressed that this show was still so concise and makes sense. Usually when you add too many details to something it’s hard to make sense of all the information but in this show they did a good job of making everything fall into place but still keeping you wondering all the way to the last episode what was really happening. 

Annalise is this badass criminal attorney, with so much power and confidence that it’s sometimes hard to see her when she expresses real emotion or pain. I love that in her pain she still tries to protect the people she cares about. I wasn’t a real fan of Bonnie or Michaela because they both gave me the feeling of only doing something if it benefits them or if it’s for themselves. Connor, Wes, and Laurel had there moments when their actions were questionable but you knew that they meant it for the greater good. Asher is just a dork, a grown man acting like he’s still in high school. Frank is hands down my favorite character; he’s mysterious, reliable, and always there to support Annalise, he goes out of his way to do things for the people he cares about even if they don’t deserve it.

My husband and I binged this season and couldn’t wait to start on the next one! I think that this show just has a way of grabbing your attention and making you need to know who actually committed the crime, what was the motive, how, and after everything was said and done if they would actually get away with it. Ultimately even though you know it’s wrong you want them to get away with it because of you attachment to the characters. 

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 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.

Review 

Grace has lived through something no one should ever experience, not only the loss of her mother but witnessing her murder. People want her to forget and to move on but she can’t, she has to find the person responsible. Now she’s back on Embassy Row and she will discover he truth even if it kills her. On her journey she makes new friends and reconnects with old acquaintances.  The road to the truth was hard and sometimes the truth should have been left in the past.

I really enjoyed this book and I think this is another great story by Ally Carter. I love her books and how there always seems to be a epic plot twist.  

I loved all of Grace’s friends and how supportive they are. Noah is my favorite character, he’s the perfect best friend. I really enjoy how quickly he befriended Grace in an environment where cliques dominate. I like that they are just friends (no flirting), it’s just a really wholesome and fun relationship. I love how he, Megan, and Rosie stood by Grace and never gave up on her. 

If you loved the Gallagher Series and the Heist Society Series then I suggest getting a ticket straight to Embassy Row. I honestly didn’t think I would like this book as much and I held off reading this for a long time but I was wrong and I am disappointed in myself #Dontjudgeabookbyitscover. Ally Carter has never done me wrong and I can’t wait for book two.
