For the past three years, Grace Blakely has been desperate to find out the truth about her mother’s murder. She thought it would bring her peace. She thought it would lead her to answers. She thought she could put the past to rest. But the truth has only made her a target. And the past? The only way to put the past to rest is for Grace to kill it once and for all. On Embassy Row, power can make you a victor or a victim; love can turn you into a fool or a fugitive; and family can lead you forward or bury you deep. Trust is a luxury. Death is a very real threat. And a girl like Grace must be very careful about which secrets she brings to light.

***I received this book as a gift in exchange for an honest review.PROS:Grace has grown up a lot but is still flawed; that’s what makes her lovable and easy to identify with. She has doubts. But as the story progresses, she recognizes bold, and sometimes painful truths about herself. The girl is a poet. Some of her internal dialogue is stunning (see above quotes). She’s courageous, a risk taker, and pretty BA. She works through the lies and secrets, scrambling to get to the truth and she never gives up. She perseveres through everything.FINALLY. The tension has been building since book one and this book is even more intense. Grace and Alexei.
I swear the original date for this release was January 5th. Hence the semi-lateness lol But I still had to squeeze it in because that cliff hanger in the first one was AWFUL. Unfortunately, the questions I thought would be answered in this one,weren't and then even more were piled on our plate. After her huge realization Grace doesn't know what's up and down or left and right anymore. The only thing she knows is that the only way she can battle her future is if she knows her past. So as she sets out to do just that, she gets more than she bargains for. This review will be a little hard to write because almost everything in it is a spoiler! lol This book was full of action and plot twists! For half the book I had my mouth dropping open wondering how Grace would jump back from one event and then another something would happen! I can say it was a wild ride and there seemed to be cliff hangers in every chapter. This is not a book where you can say "I'll stop after the next chapter." There were a couple things with the plot twists I didn't like too though. Towards the end they got predictable. As soon as one thing was mentioned, I knew what was coming afterwards. Maybe it's because I read too much YA, but I was able to catch it right away. And because of that I think it took away the thrilling edge for me. It seemed more like a filler than anything for me because I was able to guess everything. The only thing I didn't like about this one was the fact that there weren't any questions asked. Including the ones from the first book. It just put more questions piled on top of the others. Granted there was a "game changer" as there was in the first one, but still some of things weren't answered. Maybe it would've been better had it told us a little more.
