Predator Instinct by NguyenSonTuyen

Summary
Astra believed that moving to Derry would mark a fresh start for her family. She expected only small, ordinary changes—a new school, new friends, a new routine. Nothing more than that.
But Derry was nothing like she had imagined.
The town was far more intriguing, and far more mysterious, than it appeared at first glance. Beneath its quiet streets and familiar faces lay something strange and compelling, something that slowly wove itself into Astra’s life. What she thought would be a simple change became an unexpected journey—one that made her days more vivid, her thoughts deeper, and her world wider.
In Derry, Astra didn’t just discover a new place. She discovered parts of herself she never knew existed.

Summary
“Tell me,” you cried, “tell me what I have to do to keep you, I love you so.”
The creature stiffened with a trill of Its embellishments, frozen as if by ice. It hovered over you with an arched back, eerily silent and completely motionless—then it smiled, unnatural and unnerving, Its grin a sharp knife bisecting Its face.
“What you have to do…” It languorously began, pushing Itself up off the ground to take a knee, “is wait here. Wait here like a goood girl, and no matter what you hear—no matter what you think you might hear, you will stay put."

Summary
In 2016, the Losers Club destroyed Pennywise and believed the horror was finally over... But they were wrong.
One of IT’s eggs had hatched before the Losers reached the sewers. The tiny eldritch creature found refuge with a lonely teenage girl who needed something to care for; something that would not leave or betray her. Disguised as her pet cat, the creature grows alongside her, feeding on fear, affection, and the fragile trust between them.
Pennywise may be gone, but Derry never truly lets go.

Summary
If he wanted the others to take him seriously, he needed to act seriously. The Voices helped; they helped get him to where he is today, helped get his name on flashy billboards and the roster list for Jimmy Fallon and Johnny Carson and Graham Norton, helped get him through awkward break ups, helped him get through awkward situations. They helped. But he knew they couldn’t help this time.

Summary
"You know that I'm gonna be dead the next time you wake up, right?" Hallorann stated, half-serious, half-joking. He might be dead in twenty-seven years or really old, Dick wasn't giving it much thought. Aging was a part of life and he was in his early forties, he wasn't going to get any younger... The presence finally revealed itself from the shadow from behind his armchair and loomed over the sitting man, air around them thickening. Hallorann was slightly unnerved by the company, but it happened so many times, he almost got used to it. His eyes were glued to the pages, he didn't even notice the clown's expression. The grin was still there, but there was something else in the way the yellow irises looked at him. Sadness? No, not really. Something more like regret and realization.

Summary
You watched as It descended, an angel struck from heaven, falling more than fifty feet to the dirt below. A shudder rocked the earth, and you fell backward, clutching your gut and landing hard on dismal, uneven ground.
“Is it your wish for me to suffer? Is it your wish to leave poor Pennywise all alone?” It asked, primed and ready to pounce like some cat born of the jungle, knees bent, five of Its gloved fingers planted solidly on terra firma.
“No, but—”
“—I waited for you,” Pennywise rasped scornfully, “though time means nothing to me, and everything all at once! I knew you before you were born!”

Summary
Calliope music was carried over on the wind, and a dark sky reflected in the puddles at your feet. Uproarious laughter bounced off multifarious, peaked canopies—insubstantial as paint swirling in water—until the scene inexplicably changed: the only remaining object, a circus wagon with the visage of a clown painted on its side.
You had a thing about clowns.
As if by magic, the wagon would vanish into thin air, only to be replaced by a black, undefinable void.
It was as if time and space themselves were being manipulated, gravity breaking its own universal law. You stood motionless—or were you floating?

Summary
When tragedy strikes the Losers Club, Richie Tozier finds himself heading to Hawkins, Indiana, to live with his aunt and her family. While there, the monster that destroyed the happiness of his hometown makes a reappearance, flourishing in the strangeness that is Hawkins.
Now, the Losers Club has to team up with the denizens of Hawkins to save not just the kids of this broken town, but themselves. Otherwise, It will strike, and they'll find that they all float in Hawkins. But the rest of the Losers are halfway across the country, everyone is in unfamiliar territory, and they've got to come to terms with the fact that not everyone can be saved.
Two worlds, many monsters, and several outstanding heroes join together in this story of fear, friendship, and finding out that the boogeyman is real after all.
