4.5 /5
Devon and Chiamaka, the only two black kids at their school, are targeted by an anonymous texter revealing their deepest hidden secrets. Figuring out who is doing this and why leads them to bring to life some shocking and racist views.

I don't often like when books are marketed as a mixture of two other books or shows, however, saying that Ace of Shades is Gossip Girl meets Get Out is PERFECT!
But queer too! (yay!)

I was particularly drawn into this story, fully immersed and very worried about what was happening.
Both characters are interesting, though Devon clearly more likeable than Chiamaka to me...
The plot was very well crafted and the mystery elements remained tight.

At times I would have liked more understanding about how they got to the school, more info about Aces in the past, or how they felt about how everything ended up going, how their relatives felt. But those are just small elements that aren't so important compared to the impact of this story.
