I loved how Faridah presented LGBTQ+ relationships, rather than reading about two different humans falling in love, I felt like I was reading about two souls instead. This novel is perfect for thriller fans looking for something dark set in an academic setting and she draws on real-life issues of institutional racism to really set the scene. Aside from the fact Faridah is my age and I wanted to support her, it was beautifully pitched.Īs it is very much Get Out meets Gossip Girl.įilled with themes of institutional racism, homophobia, micro-aggression, stalking, love, fear, murder and so much more, Faridah’s debut novel was brilliantly written. However, I heard about Ace of Spades last year and immediately it made my ‘Most Anticipated Reads of 2021‘ with the pitch Get Out meets Gossip Girl. Dark Academia is not a genre I read a lot of…funnily enough. ![]()
