I wasn't supposed to be in the story. Not the kind with monsters, gates, or government labs. "This little fairy freak," he said, gesturing toward me like I was something stuck to his shoe. "Always floating around in her weird outfits, acting all sweet and innocent-like she doesn't watch people making out from bathroom cracks like a total psycho." I froze. The air left my lungs. "Steve," Nancy whispered sharply beside him, "it was the girl's bathroom." But he wasn't listening. "She's always staring," he continued. "Like we're all in some sad little movie she made up in her head. Always acting like she's not dying for attention." I was just the girl with too-soft sweaters and panic attacks. The one who watched people fall in love from the sidelines. The one who crushed silently on Steve Harrington while he kissed other girls in haunted high school bathrooms. Then Will Byers went missing. And suddenly I was helping Nancy reload a shotgun. Hiding from the Demogorgon on rooftops. Whispering to Dustin like I was his big sister. Running. Fighting. Surviving. And somewhere in between the broken cameras, the Halloween parties, the Upside Down... Steve started looking at me like I was in the story too.

Liz Harrington has changed. She's no longer a hopeless twelve year old who refuses to stand up for herself. Now, she's a teenager. That's right folks. This means rebellion, love, and challenging authority. And boy, if you think she didn't sniff out danger before, then you most certainly will now. Hawkins, Indiana is no longer considered a quiet town. Not after all that has occurred in the past three years. Liz and her friend group are growing up, and although they're escaping curfews and groundings, there is no running from the doom that looms over their town. They thought it was over, but will it ever be? Third book in the Harrington series.

An English accent is bound to stand out in Hawkins, Indiana, and the town was more than willing to find something new to gawk over after the curious incident of Will Byers, the boy who came back to life. With government conspiracies, monsters and a perfect set up for a horror novel, Tatum Rivers had little say in her father's interest of moving home to Indiana, but was given a student ID none the less. | season two & three | top rankings #1 in strangerthings #2 in steveharrington #4 in billyhargrove #9 in mikewheeler #9 in eleven
