"One of 2021's biggest books." (gal-dem)
The hugely-anticipated YA high-school thriller: Ace of Spades is Gossip Girl meets Get Out, with a shocking twist. Buried secrets come to light when two students are targeted by an anonymous bully with an explosive agenda.
Hello, Niveus High. It's me. Who am I? That's not important. All you need to know is...I'm here to divide and conquer. - Aces
Welcome to Niveus Private Academy, where money paves the hallways, and the students are never less than perfect. Until now. Because anonymous texter, Aces, is bringing two students' dark secrets to light. Talented musician Devon buries himself in rehearsals, but he can't escape the spotlight when his private photos go public. Head girl Chiamaka isn't afraid to get what she wants, but soon everyone will know the price she has paid for power. Someone is out to get them both. Someone who holds all the aces. And they're planning much more than a high school game....
Unputdownable and utterly compulsive, this high-octane thriller takes a powerful look at institutionalized racism. Perfect for fans of Karen McManus, Holly Jackson and Angie Thomas.

A unique take on an important topic
Great listen. Tackles an important topic and resonates around the world beyond the US. Institutional racism tackled in a way that is interesting and engaging. The overlay of sexual identity adds a layer of nuance.

Not a great story which is made worse by actors
Lots of very important themes not covered well. I appreciate I'm not the target audience but I found it hard to get into the story or the characters. This book was designed to be read quickly rather than presented as an audio book
