--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.
