-Blake Hargrove never fit in - not at home, not in Hawkins. But when the darkness creeps back into town, it doesn't just bring monsters. It brings secrets, obsession, and something far more dangerous than anyone expected. And while everyone's looking the other way... the real horror begins

She was only twelve when Violet Bridgerton took her in-just for one night, they said. But one night became a lifetime. Raised alongside the Bridgerton siblings, she grew up in their home, their hearts, and under the ever-watchful gaze of Anthony Bridgerton-the heir, the protector, the one man she was never supposed to fall for. Now on the edge of womanhood, she's ready to step into Society. But Anthony isn't ready to let her go-not into the world, and certainly not into the arms of another man. Because she was his to protect. Always had been. Maybe... always would be.

With that though, they now have an older stepbrother, Billy Hargrove who was a pain in the ass to the both of them especially Max because of her teenage rebel phase but Maddy always did everything to keep her sister safe.
