SYNOPSIS
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
REVIEW
⭐⭐⭐⭐️⭐️
Rating: 5 out of 5.
This was such a remarkable and amazing story. I have so many thoughts about it but still so little that I am able to say to keep you all in the dark as I think that it the way to go with this one.
One of the main and most important points about this book are the two main characters, they get the stunning black representation as main characters that is needed in so many books. I thought that there were going to be many parts that were going to be cliche since it’s a very familiar story (aka PLL) but it wasn’t, definitely a very pleasant surprise. I found that the fact that they had to come together despite their million differences was something I very much enjoyed as well.
The world was so well-built that is one of the reasons that it did not sound as familiar as I originally thought it would, the plot was very complex and honestly I quite liked it. I think there is a very strong black representation and respect aspect of the book and there were moments were I kind of forgot that I was reading about a fictional story, but I’m not complaining.
Maybe I would have expected something different from the ending but If I had the chance to rewrite this story I would not change a single little bit. Stunning in every way shape and form.
