ACE OF SPADES  was amazing and heartbreaking and tense all at the same time. It explored so many important, relevant issues and themes that I hope it becomes a staple in the book world like THE HATE U GIVE by Angie Thomas. MORE PEOPLE NEED TO BE TALKING ABOUT AND READING THIS BOOK!!!!  ACE OF SPADES kept me guessing until the reveal, and I loved the character development of both Chiamaka and Devon. The writing was fantastic and kept the plot moving at a breathtaking pace. The epilogue was one of my favorite parts, as were the scenes that took place at the ball.
