Ace of Spades is my favourite YA novel in some time! A love letter to Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars. . . a hugely accomplished debut. * Juno Dawson * A heart-racing and twisty thriller that grapples so much more than a simple mystery; ACE OF SPADES explores being both queer and Black, and the sinister, destructive nature of white supremacy and racism. * Alice Oseman, author of Heartstopper * Abike-Iyimide' s stunningly brilliant thriller weaves teen drama, thriller, and protest novel in a story like you' ve never seen before. A complete game changer. * Camryn Garrett, author of Full Disclosure * This is a phenomenal debut from an absolutely gifted writer. Compelling. Alluring. Shocking. Ace of Spades will have you on the edge of your seat. Faridah Abike-Iyimide is one to watch. * Melissa Cummings-Quarry and Natalie A. Carter, co-founders of The Black Girls Book Club * Expect this exceptional debut to be everywhere this summer. * The Bookseller *
