The Seven Devils (New Adult Fiction)I have some questions?  Why did Ellen's father hate her more than he hated her mother who he caught cheating on him?  Why did Ellen's brother hate her and want her dead?  Why did her mother abandon them when they weren't really any trouble?  Why did Neil's parents hate and plot against him?  He didn't do anything to them.Then there are the creep factors.  Josh is 27 years old, a gifted and world renowned musician.  Why were his only friends a 17 year old highschool student and a 16 year girl he just met?  Then he was encouraging said 16 year old girl to have sex with the 17 year old.  Even providing a hotel room.  Even more creepy, this 27 year old was stalking, spying on and hiding in the closet of an 18 year old highschool student saying he loved her though he never met her.First Neil tells Ellen he killed a child when he was only six years old, and that he entered a girls mind and made her like him. Then Ellen watches him torture and maim another teen.  Even Neil is shocked when she forgives him all that and says he is a good person and she loves him.Nor do I understand the theme of this book.  There is no supernatural conflict.  No powerful beings to defeat, just a couple of creepy and really scary guys.Now in spite of all that, there is a cliff hanger ending and I kind of want to find out what happens next.
