monarchbooks 's review for:

Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
4.5
challenging dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

While I admit that I feel a little empty after reading this with the lack of closure readers got when it came to characters like Andre and Belle, I loved this book. The author perfectly set up hints for plot twists but still let there be some out of the blue surprises making the reading throroughly enjoyable.
