Mister Tenders Girl by Carter Wilson was a fast-paced, creepy, and chilling story inspired by the real life Slender Man case, when two young girls attempted to kill their friend because they were obsessed with the fictional Slender Man.
Told in the past and the present time, Mister Tender's Girl follows Alice Hill, who was viciously attacked when she was fourteen by two of her classmates and left for dead. Her classmates believed that they would be rewarded by the fictional character, Mister Tender, if they sacrificed Alice. Alice's own father invented the character of Mister Tender for his popular graphic novel series.
Years later, Alice, now in her twenties, has been trying to move on from the horrific attack and live a normal life. She's changed her name and moved far away from where her attack took place and she's been living a somewhat quiet life. However, she is soon sent a mysterious package by someone claiming to be watching her, someone who knows all about her. Crazy things start to happen and Alice's life turns chaotic and dangerous.
This was a chilling and engrossing read that I definitely recommend, especially if you love a good thriller. Alice was an interesting character. She tried to move on with her life after surviving a vicious attack, but she couldn't seem to escape her past. In the present day, Alice suffers from anxiety and crippling panic attacks. Her panic attacks become worse as she learns that someone is watching her every move. I loved trying to figure out who was obsessed with Alice, and there were definitely a lot of surprises throughout the story. I wanted a little more from the ending, but overall, this was an intriguing and thrilling story.
