Ashes
by
Book: General Fiction, Adventure, Romance
Gangs are modern evil. Ella could never be convinced otherwise. That is, until she joined one.
Ella Murray has never challenged the rules. Like most, she understands the difference between right and wrong. And if there's one thing she knows for sure, the things her cousin Alex does are way in the "wrong" column. He's the leader of a gang called the Ashes. He drinks. Every few years, he shows up at her grandparents' house, where she lives, and forces his family to take him in.
But when Ella is forced to exchange her new boyfriend's life for her service in the Ashes, she must reassess her opinion of Alex's misdeeds. The gang members she meets are hardly thugs, and she even finds friends among the criminals. As her normal life pales compared to the vibrant excitement of the gang, she wonders if maybe, just maybe, the world needs rule breakers after all.
[Note: The first few chapters are going through a serious makeover. Chapters one through four are done. This is why some things might not line up in the beginning; I made a few plot changes. I apologize for any confusion.]
