Ace of Spades
by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
WOW!! The bar for YA thrillers just rose y'all.
This is a killer thriller and had everything I wanted - intrigue, drama, action, you name it! And with a blurb that summarizes it as Gossip Girl meets Get Out? You know I was into it. And even better, this book lives up to that blurb. This is a racially motivated thriller that touches on systemic racism, elitist institutions and gatekeeping, and homophobia within the Black community. I will continue to sing this book's praises because just... WOW!!
