This is a crazy urban fantasy read that was really interesting to read! Very cool plot and characters. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

Marcus takes advantage of well-written humor and dialogue. This coming-of-age story will appeal to a variety of ages with characters that you'll fall in love with and find relatable. I enjoyed the weirdness of the setting and the grounded way that Marcus crafts this world.

This is a young adult Fantasy, definitely different from anything I have read before.

It literally allows you to go as far as your imagination will allow.

The characters are well developed and with a twist in the story it just kept getting better.

Eventually, They All Fall by Jenna Marcus is a young adult urban fantasy. Domino Garrison knows that he is the king of all that is weird, but he would rather abdicate that throne. He would rather be a normal teenager who just goes to school and works at a bookstore—and for all intents and purposes—that's exactly how he appears to his peers; however, aside from his best friend, Griswold, no one knows Domino's secret, or his secrets. His father abandoned him and his only family—his mom—when he was 5 years old, and his mom is a drug addict who has a parade of men coming in and out of their home. Oh, and Domino has the ability to see into other people's fantasies. He thinks this ability is pretty useless; however, little does he know that his ability is more powerful and expansive than he thinks. When extraordinary circumstances begin to occur, like massive earthquakes hitting the East coast, exotic animals wandering around zoos that they had not escaped from, and black sludge eviscerating everything in its path, Domino soon discovers that not only can he see fantasies, but he can also pull these fantasies into reality; however, doing so causes horrendous pain and mental anguish as Domino is concerned that the power he has could corrupt his mind. However, he knows that it is up to him—with the support of his friends Griswold and Lucy, and his boss Miles—to put a stop to the unnatural occurrences plaguing the earth before it is too late.

Eventually, They All Fall is a read with a great premise and some intriguing possibilities. I thought the character introduction and building was very well done, and the world building for Domino's gifts was well done. I was glad to see character and relationship growth across the board, and even though there is a hint of romance, it did not take over the other aspects of the story and stayed in the background for the most part. I thought the problems the group faced were well constructed and handled, even if a few details seemed a little too easy for me - but when the magic involved is wish fulfillment it does make sense. There were some twists that went in a completely different direction than I was expecting, and some that follow my expectations. It was nice to be surprised a couple times. I will say that I liked everything about the book, but I did not get that 'I need to get back to reading" urge that some books give me. I do not think it had anything to do with the book or writing, but rather it was not the right book for me at the time. I still will be recommending it to those in my circle that I feel will enjoy it. I think there is a large audience for this book and I am interested to see where the story goes from here.

Eventually, They All Fall is an engaging read the young adults and adults alike can enjoy.

I liked this book if for nothing else the original plot line. The plot was not just a washing machine rehash of other books or ideas. I appreciate not going over the top on the young adult aspect and not making it a wanna be romance novel between two teens. I felt for all the characters in the book, whether that be Domino, Griswold, Lucy, Max, or the drunk at the dumpster. Each of these characters had enough depth that they could be woven into their own story lines in separate books. I would like to learn more about Dr Sutai, and thought Lucy should have been less of a wall flower. Although the death of three characters occurred each had their own unique ending. The vocabulary building was well used and sufficient and it didn't overpower standard text to the point that the book was uncomfortable to read. I agree with Jenna that the phrase "released a breath that I didn't know I was holding" seemed to be a bit over used. This was a uniquely enjoyable read that I would recommend to others.

Not bad per se, like a poor man’s Harry Potter with some seriously clunky writing. I expected more from the plot and that cover is awful!

Domino has always had the ability to perceive the fantasies of others, even ones he would prefer to be blissfully unaware of. For the most part, his abilities are a well kept secret. The only other person who knows is his best friend. However, when odd natural disasters start striking across the globe he learns he is not the only one with unnatural abilities. Domino and a group of friends begin to hunt down his father, who left him and his mom when he was a kid. Unfortunately, things become much more complicated.

Truly, I would give this book 3.5 stars if it was possible. Considering this rating system is subjective, I'll elaborate. A rating of 3 stars means that I liked the book. The extra half a point was for the uniqueness of the plot line. I have read a lot of books, but I've never read one with a similar idea.

I loved the fact that the title had a strong relation to an idea in the book and the chapter names.

One thing that did not thrill me as much was the number of mentions of "released a breath that I didn't know I was holding". I can think of at least five instances in this 296 page book. In my opinion, it's a bit excessive.

Overall, I think this book is a worthwhile read for those who enjoy this genre.
