Bookseller recommendation

“This thriller (think Get Out) had me on the edge of my seat.”
— Miriasha • Phoenix Books

Bookseller recommendation

“I thoroughly enjoyed this 'Gossip Girl meets Get Out' social justice horror novel with its elite high school drama and an anonymous texter (that blasts the whole school) taking the popular and academically ambitious down a notch EXCEPT this tipster appears to be targeting a select few with far more nefarious intentions than GG ever had. Fans of One of Us Is Lying will eat this one up! ”

About the author

This program includes an author's note read by the author.

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.
