Ace of Spades
Ace of Spades

Thrilling exposé of elite school's darkest secrets.

If you're drawn to the high stakes of elite academia with a side of cutthroat mystery, "Ace of Spades" might just be your next page-turner. Imagine the glossy drama of Gossip Girl but with a tense, racially charged twist that nods to "Get Out." As secrets unravel and the danger mounts, Àbíké-Íyímídé's novel will keep you guessing with its gripping narrative and critical take on societal issues. The compelling struggles of Devon and Chiamaka will resonate with anyone who appreciates a thriller that's as socially aware as it is suspenseful.

Description

Gossip Girl meets Get Out in Ace of Spades, a YA contemporary thriller by debut author Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé. When two Niveus Private Academy students, Devon Richards and Chiamaka Adebayo, are selected as senior class prefects, their year seems off to a brilliant start—great for college apps and possibly for valedictorian. But someone who goes by Aces starts sending anonymous messages that reveal secrets and threaten their futures. As the messages escalate from a cruel prank to a dangerous game, Devon and Chiamaka must uncover Aces before it’s too late. With heart-pounding suspense and social commentary, Ace of Spades is a high-octane thriller from a breakout author.
