I could not stop reading Carter Wilson's Mister Tender's Girl. I was given the opportunity to read a short preview via the BookishFirst program and was beyond excited to have won a copy of the book from them. Mister Tender's Girl is a fast-paced thriller full of psychological twists and turns, leaving both the main character, Alice, and the reader wondering who can be trusted until the very end of the book.
When Alice was a young teenager, her father was famous for having created a cult-favorite graphic novel series called Mister Tender, based on bedtime stories he used to tell Alice and her brother when they were little kids. He had no idea how popular the evil character would become, or that his daughter would almost lose her life because of him. Alice was nearly stabbed to death by two twin sisters, her classmates, who claim Mister Tender encouraged them to kill her as their price for fame. Alice survives, yet her family falls apart. Now that she is an adult and has since moved to a completely different continent, one would think Alice could finally move on with her life. However, her past isn't far behind her -- she is being stalked, watched day and night, as she is taunted with the darkness of her past. Who is after her? What do they want? And who is Mr. Interested?
