Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
Release date: June 10th, 2021
Summary (from goodreads): 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…
The part where I talk: Someone on goodreads said this was Dark Academia and I think the kids are into that now? I do tend to like those moodboards on Tumblr, though I think my general vibe is a little more cottagecore. I embroider!
Now that I’ve gotten very off topic, this sounds really interesting. I like the whole blackmail plot thing, and the aesthetic seems great. Very interested in it!
What books are y’all excited about this week?
Peace and cookies,
Laina
