This feels like a first draft, as some of the dialogue is a little rough and somethings aren't as clear as they maybe can be, but I'm actually really interested in the Devil's Boy. I can safely say that if I read this in a library, I'd check the book out.
Also, don't feel pressure to get the first draft perfect. I know from experience that if you try to make your beginnings perfect, writing anything other than beginnings is extremely difficult.
