It's the early sixties, and the wife of Henry Sommers, the leader of the notorious Winter Hill Gang, is brutally murdered in her Boston hospital room, resulting in a gangland war lasting over thirty years and throwing a close-knit Irish family into a whirlpool of violence, deceit, and heartbreak. On Monster Hill, Henry's first reaction is to launch wholesale revenge against the man responsible for his wife's murder. But his somewhat level-headed lieutenant, Sammy Cunningham, convinces him getting even that way will only make things worse for him. Henry finally acquiesces. The problem is, he's already unleashed the northeast's most ruthless enforcer, Jay O'Malley, who'd do anything to please his boss, and, after discovering Sammy's begun an affair with his seventeen-year-old sister, Claire, to hurt Sammy.

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. My father has very little power, and the only thing he values is my virginity, which I'm sure he's more than willing to sell.What's more, I want to be with them every step of the way. I don't know how I can make it work with four guys, but every single day, they convince me I can. In our world, there is no such thing as a happily-ever-after. Our lives are always on the edge of pain and death, and I should have known nothing good would last.This is part one of a duet. Emily and her Monsters will conclude in part two.
