Summary
En la prestigiosa academia Niveus la rivalidad entre los alumnos es feroz: ricos， guapos y con un brillante futuro por delante， todos saben que se espera mucho de ellos。 Chiamaka es una de las reinas del instituto， y está dispuesta a jugar sus mejores cartas para alcanzar sus ambiciosos objetivos。 Por su parte， Devon prefiere mantenerse al margen de los grupos y corrillos y conseguir graduarse sin llamar demasiado la atención。
Sus caminos no se habrían cruzado si el misterioso As de Picas no les hubiera tomado como objetivo de su anónima campaña de desprestigio。 En un goteo infernal， va enviando mensajes a todos los alumnos del instituto revelando los secretos más oscuros de estos dos estudiantes… Unos secretos que ellos creen que tienen muy bien enterrados， y que ahora salen a la luz para poner en peligro su futuro。
Mientras el círculo se va cerrando en torno a ellos， deberán descubrir quién es As de Picas y mientras evitan que les destruya definitivamente。

❤️ Am adorat felul în care îmbină suspansul și tensiunea， modul în care conturează personajele și experiențele lor de viață， dar și că se citește foarte repede ❤️ Cartea aduce în fața subiecte importante， precum rasismul instituțional， homofobia， diversitatea sau integrarea comunității de culoare。 ❤️ M am regăsit în Chiamaka foarte mult și am empatizat enorm cu ea și cu Devon ❤️ Academia Niveus ma dus direct cu gândul la liceul meu， mai ales pe partea de elevi， bârfe， concurențe etc❤️ Finalul mi ❤️ Am adorat felul în care îmbină suspansul și tensiunea， modul în care conturează personajele și experiențele lor de viață， dar și că se citește foarte repede ❤️ Cartea aduce în fața subiecte importante， precum rasismul instituțional， homofobia， diversitatea sau integrarea comunității de culoare。 ❤️ M am regăsit în Chiamaka foarte mult și am empatizat enorm cu ea și cu Devon ❤️ Academia Niveus ma dus direct cu gândul la liceul meu， mai ales pe partea de elevi， bârfe， concurențe etc❤️ Finalul mi s a părut puțin cam。。。grăbit？ Aș fi vrut să știu ce s a întâmplat cu unele personaje 4，75⭐/5⭐ 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Love the premise， not the somewhat meandering plot， hence 3 stars。 The first time I heard about the similarities of this book to Gossip Girl and Get Out （less Gossip Girl， more Get Out btw） I instantly knew the culprit would be more complex than the work of one individual。

I would give this a 4 since it really taught me in depth about something I didn't know about before。 There was some parts that felt kinda slow and at the start Chiamaka was kind of annoying in the way she described high school as if its a game of intense chess。 However the end really did make up for it。 Around 3。75ish/4 I would give this a 4 since it really taught me in depth about something I didn't know about before。 There was some parts that felt kinda slow and at the start Chiamaka was kind of annoying in the way she described high school as if its a game of intense chess。 However the end really did make up for it。 Around 3。75ish/4 。。。more

WOW。 I really really enjoyed this book。 It was a lot better than I was expecting。 I didn’t really enjoy the end but it satisfied me。 I felt like there were some lose ends that I would’ve loved to see tied up but I still had to give it five stars。 It was so amazing。

I feel like I am very much in the minority when I say that this book did absolutely nothing for me。 Many reviewers describe it as a mix of “Gossip Girl” and “Get Out”- I agree wholeheartedly with this but the description is so literal。 I kept expecting twists and turns but it ended up being exactly what it’s described as the whole way through。 There were lots of loose ends that never got tied up and revelations that went nowhere。 It was very disappointing。 I read another book earlier this year- I feel like I am very much in the minority when I say that this book did absolutely nothing for me。 Many reviewers describe it as a mix of “Gossip Girl” and “Get Out”- I agree wholeheartedly with this but the description is so literal。 I kept expecting twists and turns but it ended up being exactly what it’s described as the whole way through。 There were lots of loose ends that never got tied up and revelations that went nowhere。 It was very disappointing。 I read another book earlier this year- “The Other Black Girl”- that had a somewhat similar concept as this but was much better executed in my opinion。 I am struggling to understand the positive reviews for this one （especially since the writing left a lot to be desired）。 。。。more

If you want a thriller with twist and turns I would not recommend this book to you because I felt like it was quite obvious what was going on the whole time which made some parts of the book quite slow for me; however if you want a great representation of lgbt+ love and romance as well as seeing some amazing black characters deal with racism this is the book for you。 The ending literally almost made me cry I tried so hard not to scream in the middle of walking to class。

Couldn't stop。 So powerful。 And she wrote this as a freshmen in college？ WOW。 The realness is nauseating， but so important to experience。 The alternating perspectives didn't feel unneeded， rather their very different perspectives and personalities were exceptionally well-written。 I needed to find out who Aces was， and the shock of that discovery will sit with me for a long long time。 This is awesome。 I can't wait to recommend it to ALL my students。 Couldn't stop。 So powerful。 And she wrote this as a freshmen in college？ WOW。 The realness is nauseating， but so important to experience。 The alternating perspectives didn't feel unneeded， rather their very different perspectives and personalities were exceptionally well-written。 I needed to find out who Aces was， and the shock of that discovery will sit with me for a long long time。 This is awesome。 I can't wait to recommend it to ALL my students。 。。。more

AMAZING dark academia book that deals with issues like racism， homophobia， and classism。 Not only is the book masterfully written， but it is a continuous rollercoaster that uncovers the horrible things that white people have been doing to help ruin the lives of two Black students at a predominantly white private school。 This book is scary in the way that it is not quite farfetched， especially looking back at the history of the world。 highly highly reccomend this book！！

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 This book had me hooked from the beginning！ Black and queer representation！！！！Though out of the box for most peoples high school experience， it’s a great metaphor for the real fear and struggles of trying to fit into a society that already hates you and your skin tone， before even getting to know you or your personality and worse still hating you after they have already befriended you。

3。75 idk like the pace was incredible， very interesting， twisty and really really messed up， the ending was a bit flat for all the building up but really good nonetheless。 very important message about institutionalised racism， it’s very very real， perfectly portrayed so there’s a lot to think about。and when have i not liked dark academia huh

This book is trying to do too many things at once。 It dragged and was way too long。 Parts of it felt too heavy and negative。 While the story definitely has important issues that need to be discussed， I've seen it done in better， more thoughtful ways。 This book is trying to do too many things at once。 It dragged and was way too long。 Parts of it felt too heavy and negative。 While the story definitely has important issues that need to be discussed， I've seen it done in better， more thoughtful ways。 。。。more

3/5 starsI couldn't bring myself to finish this book。 There are a few scenes that hit a bit too close to home in terms of racism， homophobia， and toxic relationships。 The premise was interesting， and I loved the main characters as well。 The character development was one of the few things that kept me from dnfing too soon。 I didn't necessarily like the pacing， but it wasn't slow enough for me to get bored。I don't know if I would recommend this book。 If I did， it would be alongside a list of trigg 3/5 starsI couldn't bring myself to finish this book。 There are a few scenes that hit a bit too close to home in terms of racism， homophobia， and toxic relationships。 The premise was interesting， and I loved the main characters as well。 The character development was one of the few things that kept me from dnfing too soon。 I didn't necessarily like the pacing， but it wasn't slow enough for me to get bored。I don't know if I would recommend this book。 If I did， it would be alongside a list of triggers。 I know that a lot of people have triggers that make them finish a book immediately。 。。。more

I was very surprised by this book， I definitely thought I was leaving my more YA focused way of reading but I was completely sucked into this universe and was so intrigued by the characters。 I really loved this read and found it so hard to put down， the mystery I really loved， the atmosphere I was living for and I haven't been so engrossed in characters in a hot minute。 I was very surprised by this book， I definitely thought I was leaving my more YA focused way of reading but I was completely sucked into this universe and was so intrigued by the characters。 I really loved this read and found it so hard to put down， the mystery I really loved， the atmosphere I was living for and I haven't been so engrossed in characters in a hot minute。 。。。more

This is a YA book that feels like a YA book。I don't know， but the book is so relatable？ Even though I didn't have to face stuff like racism and homophobia？ The anxiety about the future， not fitting in， feeling burdened all the time， seeing your trusted ones drifting away- these things made this book very relatable for me。The flow of writing is great， it kept me turning the pages。 The narration is greater， hit me right in my chest with the words。Okay， the story is a bit over-the-top， it seems mor This is a YA book that feels like a YA book。I don't know， but the book is so relatable？ Even though I didn't have to face stuff like racism and homophobia？ The anxiety about the future， not fitting in， feeling burdened all the time， seeing your trusted ones drifting away- these things made this book very relatable for me。The flow of writing is great， it kept me turning the pages。 The narration is greater， hit me right in my chest with the words。Okay， the story is a bit over-the-top， it seems more like a fantasy than a real-life scenario （or maybe I'm too privileged to see it like that， anyway） but it is holy-freaking-good。 The story is emotional and exciting， heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time。 The way the author developed the plot， arrived at the plot twist， and flawlessly drew the conclusion- MAD RESPECT for her！！！I love， love this book。 This book is perfect <3 。。。more

definitely a page turner but the whole time i was rolling my eyes bc of how fake it seemed。 the author needs to pick a theme and stick to it， there was way too much going on and details in all the wrong places。
