Crude Hill High Series by Sam Crescent

Crude Hill High is unlike any other school. We learn to fight because we’re the kids who come from monsters. Caleb, River, Gael, and Vadik are the kings who rule. They may only be eighteen, but they’re dangerous, and I saved one of them. Rather than let it go, they want to know me. To save one is to protect all.I’m used to being invisible, yet, to the Monsters’ Crew, I’m anything but. They won’t let me hide, determined to break down my walls that keep me—the daughter of a minion—safe... moreCrude Hill High is unlike any other school.

I should have been killed. That’s the rule. If one goes down, we all go down. Instead, I’m living in England with my best friend but I’m dying inside. Gael, Vadik, River, and Caleb, they’d made a deal and I had to live with that. They awakened me and now I’m nothing. They should have never made a deal with the devil. One moment I’m in England, the next, I’m back at Crude Hill, in my Monsters’ house, at their mercy. They traded my friend for me. Only, they trusted the wrong people... moreI should have been killed.
