Faridah Abike-Iyimide’s standalone novels range from campus thrillers to contemporary stories about young people figuring out who they are. Ace of Spades, her debut, is a dark thriller about racism and surveillance at an elite school. Where Sleeping Girls Lie moves into boarding school mystery territory, while Four Eids and a Funeral takes a lighter approach with a story centered on Muslim holiday celebrations.
The Doomsday Date adds romance to the mix, and The Heirs, expected in 2026, will continue her exploration of young people dealing with systems bigger than themselves. Each book stands alone, but readers will notice common threads: sharp social observation, diverse characters, and stories that refuse to look away from uncomfortable truths.
