5.0

This was a new genre for me, but I don’t regret reading it one bit! It was a perfect mix of well-written characters, a thrilling plot line and a very important message. I can’t really speculate on the accuracy of it. However, I definitely recommend everyone to read it and become aware of the terrible issues mentioned in this book. I can’t even begin to describe the amount of empathy I have felt through the journey of reading this book. I cried, it was tense, sickening, but paced in a perfect way to continue it. Sounds scary, I know, still a must-read tho.
Didn’t hesitate to label it as five-star one.

WHAT A HELLA RIDE.... 5⭐

First, I wanna say thank you to Miss Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé for creating the world about Niveus Private Academy. This book is beyond perfect! Well, at the start... it feels usual, but after you read about 40 pages of the story, the chills started. I can imagine myself; there... being Chiamaka Adebayo. I positioned myself as her as I read the whole story.

Ace of Spades simply stole my heart! This book is a brilliant book. Disturbing, giving so many chills, brutally-emotional, scary at some points.. but this book is brilliant. Even scarier even there's no ghosts in this story.

This book is the one to read and I hella can't put the book down even for only five minutes. The story, the characters, the settings, the plots... are perfect and sickeningly good! This is why I put this book in the front line of my Spooktober reads. Spooky things not always comes from ghosts thingy, am I right?

I never find the thriller-mystery book that left chills so much; even now.. when I write this review and finished reading this already. This book leaves a gasp for me and makes me smirk at the end; the epilogue.

What a perfect of twisted 'oh' ending. All hail, Ace of Spades! ♠️

3.0

This book is important & I’m really happy it exists for YA audiences & for people who need to learn things from it. It has a lot of really intense conversations that are really important & I hope people continue reading & talking about this book. My only gripe with it was that I strongly disliked the writing style which took me out of the story quite often. I found it very very predictable & obvious with what was going on & what was going to happen. That being said, I still recommend this book because I think lots of people can take something away from it & learn from it. This book is very very graphic & I think could be incredibly potentially triggering for some, so please check TW & take care of yourself when reading

A twisting plot with a strong portrayal of institutionalised & systemic racism's many branches and pervasive reach. I still can't believe this is a debut, I'm excited to read more of Faridah's work.
