Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
4.0

Get Out meets Gossip Girl.... sign me up! Niveus Private Academy is the school to be at, where the top of the top go, where perfection is at. Money fills the halls, but for two students, they’re about to find out that this school is not as perfect as it seems. Devon is a talented musician who comes from a poor home and lives in a place where if he was outed for being gay he could be beaten up daily or even killed. Chiamaka is popular, beautiful, smart, and determined to get into her dream college, but she has a deep dark secret that could destroy everything she’s worked for and even send her to prison. Both Devon and Chiamaka are the only black students in a school filled with white students. When a new principal comes to the school, something strange happens, an anonymous texter calling themselves “Aces” starts revealing Devon and Chiamaka’s dark secrets to everyone.. and just theirs. School becomes a dangerous place and soon both of them must figure out what is happening and who is doing this to them before it’s too late and they won’t make it out of this school year alive.... filled with suspense, secrets, and consequences this was such an interesting read. It had me invested til the end and it definitely was a thrilling read!
