  "Invisible Touch is a fast-paced, gripping book full of teenage secrets, alienation and hidden pain. It’s also incredibly tender and full of hope and made me stay up all night to finish it. Read this book, you won’t be disappointed"
  -- Amanda Ashby, author of You Had Me At Halo & Zombie Queen of Newbury High

  "17 year-old Kara Martinez sees signs. Of impending danger, like pieces to a puzzle leading to inevitable disasters that only she can prevent--if she can interpret the signs in time. As it turns out, I see signs, too. On every page of Invisible Touch. That tell me that readers are going to delight in this fast-paced, gripping story, and be kept spellbound until its surprising finish."
  -- Tina Ferraro, author of How To Hook A Hottie

  "Invisible Touch is the kind of book you'll stay up way too late to finish and then wake up the next morning hungry for a sequel. Kelly Parra combines elements of mystery, romance, and the supernatural that will keep readers turning pages and ultimately leaves them with a story that rings true for anyone who felt like they had to hide their real feelings in high school. Invisible Touch may have a paranormal premise, but it still showcases Parra's talent for nailing the raw, real emotions faced by today's teen."
  -- Stephanie Kuehnert, author of I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone

  "INVISIBLE TOUCH is the brilliant second story from new comer Kelly Parra. She continues to create sharply-drawn characters with emotional depth and exciting plots that appeal to both mature teens and adults. Between the fast-paced mystery loaded with twists and the emotional pull between interesting bi-cultural characters you'll be up all night flipping pages. Kelly's dynamic voice stands out and shines in the growing YA market. "
  -- Dianna Love, NYTimes bestselling author of Phantom in the Night

You know when you've just read [a] good book because the author has this way of making you feel every emotion that the character in the [book] felt--frustration, love, anger, confusion--and this was one of those books. With twists and turns at every corner the ending of this book will leave you stunned."

  "I LOVED this book. The character's are astonishingly real, and it's easy to relate to Kara even if you never had problems quite like hers. You want things to go well for her. The writer is so good you almost know how it feels to be in Kara's place. The Final Showdown was so good I am pretty sure I actually said the word "WOW", out loud, and the answer to the clues is nothing I ever would have guessed! I know I am going to read this book again and again, and would suggest you go out and buy this the day it comes out!"
  -- Melody @ YA Books Central

  "I just wanted to say that your book Invisible Touch was awesome. I got the book right after my classes had ended that day and once I started reading it I couldn't put it down, except for when I had to study.I loved it so much that I finished it in two days. I'm reading it over again because it was that good. "
