Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé (448 pages)

All you need to know is . . . I’m here to divide and conquer. Like all great tyrants do. ―Aces

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.

Are you:
• An adult who enjoys reading Young Adult novels?
• A parent who would like some “me time” to socialize with other adults while discussing a digestible book?
• A parent, guardian, or mentor who wants to keep in touch with what their kids are reading (or even find some recommendations)?

Join us the 2nd Wednesday of each month for the Guilty Pleasures Book Club, where we will meet in a relaxed environment to chat and discuss a different YA book. This is a low-pressure, judgement-free book club where we encourage reading what YOU want.

Books are available at the library and we will try to pick titles available in e-book/audiobook through CloudLibrary.
