What lengths would you go to, to gain control of your life? Would you be willing to uncover dark secrets that should probably stay covered for the betterment (and survival) of everyone involved? What or who would you be willing to sacrifice for your own sanity? And who could you trust, as you unravel mystery after mystery; knowing full well that you could forever alter your relationship with those you are closest too?
Poor Alice. She is just trying to live her life as best she can. It's not her fault she was stabbed by two sociopaths when they were all teenagers. It's not her fault that the Glassin twins were obsessed with Mister Tender, who told the girls to stab Alice. And it's not her fault that her father was the one who created Mister Tender years ago while telling fantastic bedtime stories to her and her brother when they were little. She never stood a chance.
But now she is older. Now she can handle herself, or at least is trying too. She has put herself through many self-defense classes. She moved away from her suffocating mother and runs her own coffee shop. Sure, she doesn't have a relationship or any friends, but who could blame her after what happened to her when she was 14? It's just safer that way. Or is it?
Mister Tender, it seems, is back. But how can a fictional character created during a bedtime story come back to threaten every barrier Alice has built up for herself? How can she fight a monster that doesn't exist? And what does her dead father's message mean when she finds it in a book that was sent to her years after he passed away?
This fast-paced thriller will keep you turning page after page as you try to figure out the mystery within the mystery with Alice. You will get sucked into a haunting story that will grip you until the very last page. And, if you are lucky, you will finally understand why Alice's dad warned her to never trust anybody.
