-- Excerpt from Literary Titan 5-Star review.

Bastiian is having a party next Friday night. Anyone welcome at 3 Palms at 10 is invited. Free food, no parents, and we’re playing My Secret Kiss. Who’s going?
My Assistant Detective Alexa pointed at the screen. “Sky. A boy-girl party and Daniel’s going. Brendan and Dustin signed the list too. We have to go.”
“Alexa, what’s My Secret Kiss?”
“Everyone secretly draws names picking who they have to kiss. Then everyone rates the person they kissed. The bad kissers with the least points get eliminated.”
“No way.” My mind was racing. The disgusting possibilities were endless. Would I be forced to make out with boys I didn’t like, or guys I didn’t even know, just to act normal at a party? Was I crazy for even considering going?
My brain started to tick. I’d paid for some new gadgets with chores money, and I’d gotten others for Christmas. These filled out my detective kit nicely. My night vision goggles might come in handy. The Soundtrap would let us eavesdrop on conversations. Best of all was a canister of Invisi-powder. When you dusted it on your face and hands and wore black clothing, the non-metallic, gray-black powder let you blend into the shadows, so you were completely invisible.
“We are going to go to that party. But nobody’s even going to know we’re there.”
Sneaking into the party sounded risky, and pretty scary. But it wasn’t until after the field trip began, and I’d put my detective skills to a true test, that I really found out the true meaning of terror and danger.
