Hawkins was supposed to be a fresh start for Sadie Hargrove. A quiet town, a new school, a chance to disappear. Instead, she ends up babysitting a bunch of nerds who keep dragging her into the strangest situations imaginable... and accidentally getting close to the guy she absolutely shouldn't fall for: Steve Harrington. Sadie's tough, guarded, and convinced she doesn't need anyone. Steve is golden-boy charming with more damage under the surface than he ever lets people see. When Hawkins starts acting strange-stranger than usual-Sadie gets pulled into a storm she never asked for: monsters, secrets, missing kids, and a past she's tried her whole life to outrun. And if she's not careful, she could lose the only people who've ever really seen her... including him.
