Catching cheaters and liars is a lucrative hobby―until you fall for one of the suspects. Perfect for fans of Veronica Mars, this new novel from the author of Last Year's Mistake will steal your heart! Marisa wasn’t planning to be a snoop for hire—until she accidentally caught her best friend’s boyfriend making out with another girl. Now her reputation for sniffing out cheaters has spread all over school, and Marisa finds herself the reluctant queen of busting two-timing boys. 

In A Kiss in the Dark, senior Macy Atwood is determined to figure out which of three possible boys is the culprit in this funny, poignant, and achingly romantic novel. When the lights go out at a Georgia high school football game, Macy finds herself in the arms of a boy who kisses her senseless—but he’s gone by the time the lights come back on.

"The characters are realistic and well developed...A satisfying story that explores how actions in life and relationships impact others." - School Library Journal
