// HEAD OVER HEELS //
Steve Harrington has made a lot of mistakes. He's said the wrong things at the worst times, has tried to be the one everyone wants him to be. But he's spent too long pretending to be someone he's not: the confident guy, the heartbreaker, the one who has it all together. But nothing has thrown him off balance like Lauren Henderson. She's guarded, unpredictable, and so painfully honest with him that it makes his chest ache. She calls him out when he's trying too hard, sees through every defense he puts up, and somehow manages to make him feel like he's not just the screwup with good hair. For someone who supposedly doesn't care, Lauren Henderson is the biggest people-pleaser. After her father left, she's always wanted to be better, so that maybe one day he'd actually want her. She's friendly, easy to talk to, always saying the right thing to get people to like her. That's all she can do. But deep down, she feels everything too deeply. Every emotion that teens feel on the daily is how Lauren feels, amplified by three thousand. So when she starts catching feelings for the boy who let her in, everything she built herself upon starts to crumble beneath her. They weren't supposed to care. Not like that at least, but feelings have a way of showing up uninvited. Especially in a town like Hawkins. Between parent problems, unsaid things, and the fear of being too much (or not enough), Lauren and Steve find themselves wrapped up in the supernatural chaos that hides between Hawkins' cracks. In this heart racing story, join Lauren and Steve on their adventures with alternate dimensions and monsters they never believed they'd ever have to face. Watch how even in the midst of it all, they find themselves doing exactly what they promised themselves they would never do. Falling head over heels for one another.

We Die Louder Than the Monsters
Jude Henderson never planned to fall in love again. Not after Billy. Not after the fire at Starcourt took him away, leaving only a denim jacket and a half-burned Polaroid she keeps close like a fragile memory. Now, ten months later, Hawkins feels quiet-too quiet. But danger whispers in shadows, and when her cousin Dustin starts sneaking around with his friends, Jude knows she's being left in the dark. Pulled into secrets darker than she imagined, into the twisted world of the Upside Down, she meets two impossible loves. Eddie Munson-the loud, reckless metalhead with a rebel's heart and a smile that both infuriates and ignites her. He calls her Groupie. She calls him Poser. But beneath the noise, they share the same favorite songs, the same haunted eyes, and a fierce defiance against the darkness closing in. And then there's Steve Harrington-steady, kind, the boy who's always been there, offering a quiet hope she thought she'd lost forever. He sees her when no one else does, understands her pain without words, and stirs a tenderness she's afraid to admit. She hated them both. Until she didn't. Until love tangled their fates and broke her in ways she never expected. Because monsters are real, and sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't the darkness outside-it's the fire burning inside her heart. In a world that's falling apart, she must choose between the boy who's been her light, and the one who makes her want to fight for tomorrow. And in the end? She won't go quietly. She'll die louder than the monsters ever could.Complete

"I stood there for a second, stunned at the fact that a pack wolf had gotten in between two fighting rogues, but when I took in my first deep breath after the adrenaline had wore off I realised why. He was my mate. Crap. I stared at him for a second, taking in the huge grey wolf that was my mate before I turned tail and ran as fast as my injured leg would let me. It had already starting to heal but not enough for me to put all my weight on it. I quickly turned around to to make sure the guy hadn't caught up with me but frowned slightly when I saw that he hadn't even moved an inch from where I left him. That was weird, I thought pack wolves were all about finding their mates" ---- Blaine has lived a hard life, after all being born a rouge isn't easy, but she's getting by.
