Gossip Girl meets Get Out in Ace of Spades, a YA contemporary thriller by debut author Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé about two students, Devon & Chiamaka, and their struggles against an anonymous bully.
All you need to know is . . . I’m here to divide and conquer. Like all great tyrants do. —Aces.
When two Niveus Private Academy students, Devon Richards and Chiamaka Adebayo, are selected to be part of the elite school’s senior class prefects, it looks like their year is off to an amazing start. After all, not only does it look great on college applications, but it officially puts each of them in the running for valedictorian, too.
Shortly after the announcement is made, though, someone who goes by Aces begins using anonymous text messages to reveal secrets about the two of them that turn their lives upside down and threaten every aspect of their carefully planned futures.
As Aces shows no sign of stopping, what seemed like a sick prank quickly turns into a dangerous game, with all the cards stacked against them. Can Devon and Chiamaka stop Aces before things become incredibly deadly?
With heart-pounding suspense and relevant social commentary comes a high-octane thriller from debut author Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé.

‼️ ACTION ITEMS BELOW ‼️
“What can I do to support the freedom to read?” (Read the rest at the Banned Books Week site!)
Call a decision maker. Call school and library administrators, school board and library board members, city councilpersons, and your elected representatives to ask them to support the right to read!
Support an advocacy organization.
Join Unite Against Book Bans, a national campaign to protect the rights of everyone to access information.
Check out a banned book. Circulation matters! Checking out banned books or books about topics that are frequently targeted for censorship proves that the community is interested in reading them.
Buy a banned book. Censorship doesn’t just harm libraries and schools; it also impacts writers, publishers, and booksellers. One way you can support the people who make and sell books is to buy them!
Write a letter. Public input is very important for school and library board members, trustees, and elected officials.
Plan to attend a meeting. Attending school board, library board, and city council meetings one of the most critical actions you can take to fight censorship.
Volunteer at your local library.
Start organizing! The small number of people who are leading the charge against the freedom to read are organized, and they are counting on complacency, ignorance, and inaction to accomplish their objectives. 📚 books mentioned: - Transmogrify! 14 Fantastical Tales of Trans Magic edited by g. haron davis - Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé - The Weight of Blood by Tiffany D. Jackson - The Spirit Bares its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White - Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
👗💄: - shirt is from Out of Print - (also if you have a question about my makeup or something i’m wearing, most of it is curated in my shopmy!)
Thank you to HarperCollins and Peachtree Teen for the gifted copies.
