Hawkins, Indiana isn't the kind of town you escape to. It's the kind you get trapped in. At seventeen, Lily Hargrove has already learned how to survive a broken home. When her mother vanished years ago, she and her twin brother Billy were left alone with a father whose anger only grew sharper with time. Then came Susan Mayfield - and her thirteen-year-old daughter, Maxine. They've known Max since she was small. She grew up around them. Grew up watching. Listening. Learning when to stay quiet. But knowing someone doesn't mean understanding them. When Neil Hargrove decides to move the family from California to the sleepy town of Hawkins, Billy is furious. Lily is exhausted. And Max is caught in the middle - old enough now to see the cracks in their family clearly, but still young enough to hope things might get better. They won't. Hawkins feels wrong from the start. The woods stretch too far. The air feels too still. And at night, the darkness hums. Lily is the first to sense it - something watching from the tree line. Something that doesn't belong. A creature that moves like an animal but isn't one. A mouth full of teeth that opens like a nightmare unfolding. A sound that isn't a scream - but close enough. As strange disappearances shake Hawkins and rumors spread through the halls of Hawkins High, Lily and Max are pulled into a secret far bigger than their family drama - a tear in reality that threatens to swallow the town whole. Lily laughs, she cries, she smiles all because of that one specific person, Steve Harrington. In Hawkins, monsters don't just live in another dimension. Sometimes they live in your house. Sometimes they wear your father's face. And sometimes... they're waiting for you in the dark.

One random night out in London never meant anything to anyone. But a year later, after finally getting accepted onto a dating app, you come across a familiar face who remembers you.

You soon begin to wonder if a chance meeting from last summer was actually the start of something bigger.

❝I WANT TO DRIVE AWAY WITH YOU I WANT YOUR COMPLICATIONS TO I WANT YOUR DREARY MONDAYS WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND ME BABY BOY❞ Sabrina Hargrove had always been the calm after the storm - or at least, she tried to be. Born just three minutes before her twin brother Billy, she was the light to his thunder. Where Billy burned hot with anger, Sabrina burned quietly, her fire hidden behind soft smiles and steady eyes. The two had grown up inseparable once, but years in the Hargrove household had a way of breaking even the closest bonds. Their mother, Laura, had been the only warmth in a home built on sharp words and slammed doors. When she died, something in Billy shattered completely - and Sabrina had been left trying to pick up pieces that refused to fit anymore. Neil Hargrove remarried quickly, bringing Susan and her young daughter Max into their lives. Billy resented them. However Sabrina didn't. Max reminded Sabrina of herself - stubborn, funny, full of fight. And from the moment she met her, Sabrina decided she'd protect her. Mostly from Neil's temper. From Billy's rage. From everything that came with being a Hargrove. When Neil's job dragged them across the country to a small, forgettable town called Hawkins, Indiana, Sabrina told herself she'd make it work. She'd keep Max safe, keep Billy calm, keep herself together. But Hawkins had a way of pulling people into its secrets - the kind that changed everything. And then there was Steve Harrington
