Alexa Messina is Kenzie Messina's fraternal twin sister. Kenzie is the goody two shoes, nerdy girl of school whereas Alex is the badass, reckless girl of the school. Xander DeWitt is an independent teen. He breaks laws and uses his detective skills to find his dad, who disappeared 3 months ago. Xander worked alone until his mom moved him into his grandpa's house in Bixler Valley, where two brunettes helped solve the case. Along their journey, however, one of the Messina twins falls for the detective. The detective falls right back, making the other Messina twin feel like a third wheel at times. This is the story of Alexa Messina, Kenzie Messina, and Xander DeWitt. ⚠️guns are mentioned near the end. i do not own anything except for alexa and the slight plot twists in the story.⚠️ (I'm thinking about writing the story in 3 ways. Xander's POV, Alexa's POV, and Kenzie's POV but for now the book is complete)
