Sheriff Hopper was your typical egotistical man-child with a badge. The kind of guy who thought the world revolved around him, but his brain was firmly stuck in the "perpetual adolescent" zone. And don't even get him started on the Brits-he was convinced they were all just pampered little sh- well, you know, a whole lot of nonsense wrapped in an accent.
Then there was Agent Beckett. Her one job? Get close to the Sheriff, dig up whatever weirdness was plaguing this town, and report back. Easy enough, right? I mean, how hard could it be to deal with a guy who still thinks "foreigners" are plotting world domination over their afternoon tea?
Spoiler alert: nothing ever goes according to plan.
Instead of digging up dirt on the town, Beckett finds herself knee-deep in Hopper's stubborn rants, unnecessary critiques of British weather, and the weird chemistry between them that neither of them wants to acknowledge. Oh, and somehow she ends up caring what happens to him.
Because of course, that's how it works-get close to the guy you're supposed to be investigating, and in a totally not predictable plot twist, fall head over heels. Because, apparently, nothing says "true love" like sarcastic banter, PTSD from small-town drama, and endless cups of diner coffee.
So, yeah. They'll fall in love. But it's definitely going to be a messy, snarky, "I can't believe this is happening" kind of love.

"Alice, thank goodness-why the hell did you bring Mews?"
"What? I didn't want the evil government agents to get her!"

Alice Henderson has always been told she's got her mind in Wonderland. She longs for an adventure in her life like the Alice she pretends she's named after.
When her brother Dustin's friend Will goes missing in November 1983, she gets what she wished for-and it's not quite as dreamy as she hoped. Dustin, Mike, and Lucas are running wild with a quiet girl with superpowers, Alice's best friend goes missing, and strange things happen left and right that have Alice questioning her sanity.
Alice will do anything to protect her brother, learn about her past, and stay alive to go to the Snow Ball, even if it means fighting monsters and making allies in unexpected places.
