The only two black students at an upperclass private school become targets for Aces, a mysterious texter, who starts spreading their secrets to the student body. They have to figure out who is behind it before it becomes too dangerous or ruins the chance for their futures.
Ace of Spades is a phenomenal read. The characters are beautifully written with completely different personalities. Devon is a scholarship student who dreams of going to Juilliard while Chiamaka has everything she's ever wanted. This book was advertised as a mix between Gossip Girl and Get Out and it is crazy accurate to that. The whole time I was so nervous for them and did not anticipate the ending of who Aces was at all. I loved that the book dealt with so many topics including the most important of racism, but it also dealt with homophobia, racial profiling, and classism. If you like thrillers, school dramas, books that make you take a hard look at the widespread racism in the world, this one is for you.
I listened to the audiobook and fell in love with the narrators. They truly made the story feel so real and I flew through it.
I received a copy of this audiobook free from NetGalley and Macmillan Audio in exchange for an honest review, but I really cannot recommend this book/audiobook enough.
