Ace of Spades is told from the perspective of Devon Richards and Chiamaka Adebayo, the only two black students at the prestigious Niveus Private Academy. They are entering their senior year and have been selected to be senior prefects, the elite student leaders of the academy. This honor puts them in the running for valedictorian and opens doors for admission to, and scholarships from, Ivy League universities.
Soon after the prefect announcement is made, a cyberbully with the handle "Aces" starts sending anonymous text messages which reveal secrets about Devon and Chiamaka. These revelations sabotage their reputations and threaten their personal lives and future prospects.
Aces shows no sign of stopping and as the humiliation and stress escalates, Devon and Chiamaka decide to expose the identity and motivation of Aces. The answer is more chilling than they could have imagined.
Ace of Spades explores important societal issues such as poverty, racism, homophobia and white privilege.
The characters are well developed and their alternating POVs enhance the fast-paced plot. This book resulted in utter sleep deprivation for me. I could not put it down. I really enjoyed this well-written original, twisty YA thriller. Thank you to #FierceReads for an ARC of #AceOfSpades
