See How They Run (Embassy Row #2) by Ally Carter -- Restarting September 4th 2025

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The second thrilling book in the EMBASSY ROW series.

Grace thought finding her mother's killer would bring her peace. But the truth has only made her a target. on Embassy Row, trust is a luxury. Death is a very real threat. And a girl like Grace should be very careful about which secrets she brings to light..

[Tati]

Hope it's good!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Me too! I liked the first one ☺

4% (view spoiler)[ I really don't remember how the last book ended, and all this stuff about Adria is odd. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

17% (view spoiler)[ still finding it hard to remember what happened in the last book! I gather she shot her mother though. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

29% (view spoiler)[ oh dear, she kisses him and he ends up dead! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

51% (view spoiler)[ finding all this a bit boring. (hide spoiler)]

Yep, I'm struggling with that, as well...

9% (view spoiler)[ Why is Grace her enemy? Can't really remember that. And this is beginning to sound a bit like the da Vinci Code... (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ it was something to do with Grace thinking that a man with a scar had killed her mother, but in reality Grace had shot her mother? (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

I don't remember where I am (around 30 or 40%, I guess).

Did your edition have no chapters? I found mine doesn't, and that's just weird, reading-wise.

(view spoiler)[ Also, what's up with Alexei? I do want him and Grace to end up together, but his leaving so suddenly and coming back just as suddenly is just strange. And the whole 'is Grace crazy' got old in the last book (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Alexei was just behaving really strangely for pretty much the whole book. (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

Chapter 17 - it's getting harder and harder to believe this story, I'm sorry to say

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I just found the whole thing pretty dull.

[Tati]

Yeah, that too... So far, it's getting 1 star from me, and I don't think I'll read the next one

[Tati]

Chapter 17 - oh, that's funny! Imagine the headline:

(view spoiler)[ Granddaughter of American ambassador drugs son of Russian ambassador and dumps him in Iranian embassy.

And Grace seems to have a knack to make things worse all the time (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ that would have been really bad! She does just make things worse! (hide spoiler)]

I felt the same way. dragging myself through this one was bad enough.

[Tati]

So the guy attended Eton (!!) and became a cop? I don't know, seems like a bit of a waste of money to me

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It does sound like a waste!

[Tati]

Talk about being blindsided...

(view spoiler)[ that treasure thing and Spencer hunting for it has literally come out of nowhere! Could we please, please, stick to good old political scheming, without any treasures? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ the whole trasure thing was such a waste of time. i don't know why it was in there at all. (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

End of chapter 21

(view spoiler)[ I'm pretty sure that, not only the treasure is meaningless to the plot, but a bunch of teenagers will succeed in finding it where no one else, in 200 hundred years, ever did... (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

Finally done!

(view spoiler)[ So what if she is the lost princess of wherever. I mean, it's been 200 years since her line was ousted, what is she supposed to do? How would she even prove that she is descended from those people? (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

Brooke, I'm going to start and hopefully finish tonight. :)

(view spoiler)[So far book one was more enjoyable. Not sure about Spence. (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

23%

(view spoiler)[Alexei sucker punched Spence. Lol! (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

Chapter 10:
(view spoiler)[ They are taking Spencer's death really hard. Finding him on the beach was horrible (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

Chapter 25:
(view spoiler)[ These teens are in deep now. This one girl is super bitchy. Noah seems rude as hell. And Alexa's "accent" is getting on my nerves. Someone has to know something is up since they escaped that room or tunnel thing. (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

Chapter 29:
(view spoiler)[ Is she checking her brother out?! "Dicking around" was just used... (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

Ending thoughts
(view spoiler)[ Idk how i feel, this was a bit more enjoyable than book 1, but i wasn't interested in it at all. I honestly didn't remember Spencer so that is bad. I like the Alexia girl, she punches people. The narrator is still horrible, her "russian" ascent was horrible. I cringed bad. The other people were mainly annoying and complained way too much. (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

(view spoiler)[Alexei sucker punched Spence. Lol! (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

(view spoiler)[Oh no!!! He's dead?! I wonder what happened! (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

59%

(view spoiler)[Really curious about what's going on. Who killed Spence? Why? And what was Spence looking for? (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

66%

(view spoiler)[Hmm. A hidden area! With treasure!! (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

87%

(view spoiler)[I don't know what to think about Alexei!! (hide spoiler)]
