Cassie built her life on one rule: don't let anyone in.
It's easier that way.
Easier to ignore the past she can't remember.
Easier to hide the tattoo on her wrist that makes no sense.
Easier to convince herself that she doesn't need anyone.
But Hawkins makes that impossible.
Because of Will Byers-the quiet, gentle boy who treats her like she's normal... like she isn't carrying a storm inside her.
And Mike Wheeler-the boy who won't stop watching her, pushing past her walls, and making her wonder if letting someone in might be worth it.
For the first time, Cassie feels herself pulled toward people she never wanted to trust.
She doesn't know whether to fight it-or embrace it.
Then Will disappears.
Suddenly, staying out of things isn't an option anymore.
Cassie is forced into a search she didn't ask for.
A search that quickly becomes darker than she could have imagined.
More dangerous.
And the closer she gets to finding him, the more she realizes Hawkins isn't just hiding a missing boy...
It's hiding secrets that might explain her past.
Secrets that might explain the tattoo she's spent years trying to forget.
As the danger grows, so does her bond with Mike-the boy who challenges her, frustrates her, and makes her feel things she's spent years avoiding.
She's drawn to him in ways she can't deny, even as her concern for Will-and the mystery surrounding him-keeps her heart on edge.
Because in Hawkins, the past doesn't stay buried...
And neither do the truths about Cassie herself.
