Foreign Existence Alisha Maple

If you enjoy Twilight or The Hunger Games, meet Meela and Ray in Foreign Existence. Meela is the girl next door, pretty and kind, an only child, who grows up hoping for a new best friend; she hears the neighbors are looking to adopt a child. Ray is the dark-haired, dark-eyed, unusually over-intelligent little boy who is adopted. Within minutes, she notices there is something different about him, but she is drawn to his innocent kindness and inexplicable aura. Insisting he is from another world and only visiting Earth for a special mission, he notices his friends start turning against him. Meela will need to decide whether or not to believe him as she begins to develop strong feelings for him. As the boy next door reveals more and more about himself, she begins to question everything she knows, and IF she decides he is telling the truth, where will that lead her? When a kiss could kill, do you still take the risk? How much is she willing to sacrifice for Ray, her best friend? How much is she willing to sacrifice for love? Hard choices need to be made. All the weight falls on Meela and Ray as they try to conquer the world together, one new discovery at a time, while attempting to be nothing less than society's normal.
