Rating: 4 out of 5

NOTE: I received a copy of the story from the author with the request of a honest review.When we first meet Ellen, she is being held underwater by her fathers hands around her neck. She only gets free when her mom hits her dad from behind. Later her mom gets her and her brother Austin and moves them from Akron to Minster. A small town where her moms sister has a house they can rent. On the first day of school, her brother, who resents having to move wants nothing to do with her while she has the new student worries. It isn't helped when the "cool girls" meet her and dismiss her as not cool. When lunch comes around she looks for someplace to sit and is invited to sit with a boy named Neil. Later that day other girls tell her to stay away from Neil as he is bad news. She also meets Derrick that night. One of the cool kids. She seems to have some feelings for him but not sure and Neil has told her Derrick is bad news. And just what are the Seven Devils?This is a well written story but it follows the time honored style of girl meets boy, girl meets another boy, which one is best for her and which will she end up choosing? The story is well written which got it the 4 stars but following a normal routine which is why it didn't get 5 stars.In other words, good but not great. Read it for a good read but don't expect too many surprises.
