Samara Harrington was the picture perfect child, the one mommy and daddy shows off every second they could. Expect her parents are never around and she's stuck at home with her annoying older brother. Who unlike her, tries to be the picture perfect child, hoping that one day their parents will finally notice him.

All it took was one bad overdose and Samara was Hawkins nutcase, aside from stoner, junkie. Total loser and not to mention the occasional babe? It didn't really matter, at the end of the day she hated herself far more than anyone in Hawkins.

Sure the town was small and everyone knew her history and past. Of course she did her best to pretend like she wasn't secretly spiraling into chaos. With summer break around the corner and for some odd reason she's forced to work at scoops ahoy.

She tries to pretend her life isn't going to shit, and she wasn't slowly on the verge of yet another manic episode. They blamed it on the drugs but truth be told Hawkins was fucking weird and she was the only person noticing it as of late. People were disappearing and no one else was noticing it.

When Robin Buckley her best friend? Becomes one of the few people to disappear and not mention her brother! She starts to investigate, only issue is she can't tell what's real or fake these days.

authors note:
After weeks of literally not having an intro chapter for this book I added it. Figured most people prefer knowing the plot of a book before they read it, also I miss when stranger things was actually good. Don't get me wrong season four is decent but the wait was not worth it if you ask me. Nothing will ever top season three, I binged watched it on one night when I couldn't sleep and it was a vibe.
