I received a chapter sampler from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, so please note my rating may change when I read the whole book.

From the small sample I got of this book I can already feel the dark academia vibes and I love the plethora of dark academia books we’ve been receiving lately.
Although this book wasn’t previously on my radar, you can bet it is now! Gossip girl, meets Get Out, with character who may be non neurotypical. (Devon) possibly, don’t hold me to it, I haven’t read the whole book yet. But his rituals and love of routine?
So awesome that we’re getting diverse characters!

Sign me up! I can’t wait for the rest of this book.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this arc sneak peak of Ace of Spades.

Going into the arc, I was pretty hooked from the first chapter. Despite it's length, I felt a tad emotional simply reading some of the thoughts going through Devon's head, and because of that I liked him as a character instantly. Not only was he enjoyable to read about, but his ideologies on the things around him made him stand out to me as a reader.

I enjoyed the writing, and already added this to my goodreads TBR because of how much I look forward to continuing it. The ending made me want to pick the book up right away! Unfortunately I'll have to wait a few more months to finish it, but I look forward to once it does.
