Ally Carter is the bestselling author of novels that have epitomized action-adventure YA romance for more than a decade. From the spy-centric humor of I’d Tell You I Love You, but Then I’d Have to Kill You to the globe-trotting glamour of Heist Society, Embassy Row, and Not If I Save You First, the name Ally Carter is synonymous with hilarious action and heart-pounding romance. She is also the author of The Winterborne Home for Vengeance and Valor and The Winterborne Home for Mayhem and Mystery for younger readers; as well as DEAR ALLY, HOW DO YOU WRITE A BOOK--which Booklist describes as "What Stephen King did for adult writers in ON WRITING...Carter does for aspiring teen authors." She lives in Oklahoma, where her life is either very ordinary or the best deep-cover legend ever. She’d tell you more, but…well…you know… Follow Ally at these places for all the scoop on what's coming next: AllyCarter.com Twitter: @OfficiallyAlly Instagram: @theallycarter Facebook.com/TheAllyCarter

Do you crave strong female leads? How about high stakes drama? Maybe you long for a taste of international travel? Do intrigue and mystery sound appealing? And who can resist just a touch of teenage angst? Ally Carter delivers on all of these fronts, but to break it down for you, her stories are, quite simply, fun. The fast-paced narratives and charming characters unite to create worlds in which you want to get lost, and with three dynamic series (and one adventure-driven standalone) to choose from, there’s only one question you need to answer: Where should I begin? – Katie, Audible Editor
What’s in a line? Ally Carter is obsessive about the opening lines to her novels, and as a result they are pretty fantastic. My personal favorite is from All Fall Down, but let’s be honest—they all leave you wanting more.

Are you a spy?

The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women is a fairly typical all-girls school…that is, it would be if every school taught advanced martial arts in PE and the latest in chemical warfare in science, and students received extra credit for breaking CIA codes in computer class. The Gallagher Academy might claim to be a school for geniuses, but it's really a school for spies. Cammie Morgan is a second-generation Gallagher Girl, and while she’s fluent in 14 languages and can take down men twice her size, one thing her school hasn’t prepared her for is: boys.

Start Sleuthing

Are you a thief?

Since she can remember, Katarina's relatives have been grooming her for the family business—thieving. But when Kat tries to go straight and leave the "Life" for a normal one, she's promptly kicked out of her new school for stealing the headmaster's car and mounting it on the school fountain. Although she could have done it without breaking a sweat, ironically, this time, she's innocent. The real delinquent? Her friend and brother-in-trade Hale, who with his mischievous smile and limitless bank account has appeared out of nowhere to bring her back to the Life, back to the family Kat tried so hard to escape.

Start Thieving

Or are you a diplomat?

Grace is many things: a daredevil. An Army brat. A rebel. She is also the only granddaughter of the most powerful ambassador in the world, and has spent every summer of her childhood running across the roofs of Embassy Row. Now, at age 16, she's come back to stay in order to solve the mystery of her mother's death. In the process, Grace uncovers an international conspiracy of unsettling proportions, and must choose her friends and watch her foes carefully if she and the world are to be saved.
