This book reads so easy and smooth. Short chapters allow you to read it in smaller bites if needed.
It is so fun to get a glimpse of Hopper's past. And Adam Christopher clearly has a respect for Stranger Things. His descriptions of Hopper and Eleven are on point! And the story itself is fast and fun. Gets a little thick at the end, but overall very good.
If you dig Stranger Things, you will enjoy this book.

This book is going down so easy. I could read it all night if it weren't for the glares from my cat to go to sleep.

Getting to know a different side of Hopper before he returns to Hawkins & before all the crazy of the Upside Down begins was incredible. Hopper holds a special place in my heart & the author does a really good job of keeping true to Hoppers character & who he is as a cop & person. The murder mystery was well done & kept up suspense & intrigue through the entire book! 4/5🌟

My Stranger Things collection growing slowly but surely, and yes that is an ST Monopoly back there
Not a book related question but out of curiosity, how many Monopoly games do y‘all own, if any?

Weather is so nice out that the library is dead so don't mind me as I listen to my audiobook as I work. Don't worry I can still hear the phone if it rings.

Curiouser_and_curiouser Awesome! Two in one 😉 5y

kyraleseberg @CouronneDhiver Thanks! My daughter picked them for me from our garden yesterday 😊 5y
ShyBookOwl Interesting? Is this cannon or unofficial fiction? 5y
kyraleseberg @ShyBookOwl It's an official Stranger Things novel! It begins in the current show timeline with El/Jane living with Hopper and then goes back to 1977 after El discovers a box of files from his time as an NYPD detective to tell the story of his life with his wife & daughter. 5y
ShyBookOwl @kyraleseberg no way?! Awesome! 5y

I'm pretty obsessed with the show so I did a happy dance when my #ARC request was approved last week 😁
I'm looking forward to the back story on Hopper!
