Seeing Starlight - by Myisha Haynes (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Hakeem is skeptical about the existence of anything supernatural, so what happens when he falls for a boy who might not be human? This solo debut combines the sweet romance of Crumbs with the supernatural fun of The Witch Boy, perfect for teens looking for a paranormal, romantic, high school story.

"There's no such thing as Aliens."

At least, that's what Hakeem thinks. Which sucks for him, because he's about to attend Black Birch High, a school specializing in everything paranormal. To make matters worse, his childhood friend seems to hate him, and he's failing UFOlogy.

Then he meets Yuhit, his handsome classmate who's excited about everything, and is willing to help Hakeem study. Things start off great but despite the crush that Hakeem definitely is developing, there's something off about Yuhit that holds him back. But is that because of Hakeem's cynicism and trust issues, or because there's something Yuhit is hiding from him?

As otherworldly events begin to transpire, and rumors fly of strange creatures prowling the town, will Hakeem even believe what his eyes are seeing?
