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.

Katherine Chadwick and Steve Harrington have lived next door to each other for years, connected only by the silence of their parents' absence and the curated perfection of their lawns. But when the supernatural rot beneath Hawkins begins to bleed into the real world, the "perfect" neighbors find themselves thrust into a fight for survival. Between dodging Demogorgons and wrangling a pack of unruly middle-schoolers, Katherine and Steve discover that the only thing more dangerous than the Upside Down is the feeling growing between them. Saving the world is hard; doing it while falling in love might be impossible. STRANGER THINGS SEASONS 1-5 (and beyond)

"I can try" I breathe out as I gulp when his grip tightens "Try me" His hand slides up my throat, his long fingers wrapping tight around my jaw "That's what you really want?" I nod, as I sigh out a shallow yes, and I see every muscle in his body tense, as he wets his lips; hoarsely murmuring his next sentence like its his last try at making me change my mind. "I'm dangerous Abby, this is your last chance, tried to warn you" My stomach twists and knots, as I use every ounce of bravery I have.

"Smoking is bad, you know." The placid voice speaks up from the distant dark corner, nothing to see but a tall silhouette and an orange glow of a cigarette cherry. "It's the least of my problems," I murmur with my own between my lips, proceeding to feel the stagnant debris valley my throat when I suck delicately. He exhales a chuckle of cynical amusement, his footsteps getting every step clearer to my eardrums until I eventually sense body heat burning my back. "And why is that?" He whispers over my shoulder, hands inviting themselves to grip the railing in front of me so I become a prisoner between his inked arms. I swallow.
