Carter Wilson's novel, MISTER TENDER'S GIRLS, is one
thriller that will have you
thinking "that was twisted," but you will not forget about
it long after finishing it.
Though this book might not be for everyone, especially for
the weak of stomach, I
actually enjoyed reading Wilson's novel. In this storyline,
I must say I think the
main character's parents are weird, as well as, the friends
she encounters.
However, she does not seem that much of a sane person
herself for constantly putting herself in the situations
that she does.
Alice Hill befriends some girls at the age of fourteen who
decide to use a character, Mister Tinder from a fictional
novel, as their means to do a ghastly deed to Alice, leaving
her to die. Now years later, she is trying to heal by
changing her name and living elsewhere. Then someone is
watching her and knows more about her past than they should.
This leads her back to where it all started in order to get
answers. She just may get more than she bargained for.
If you love reading twisted tales and do not mind graphic
descriptions, then
this novel is for you. Though the storyline reminds me of a
teen horror flick, I enjoyed the surprises it brought along
the way. Alice's story gets more interesting as it goes
along leaving you scratching your
head a few times and other times just leaving you
speechless. Carter Wilson's novel MISTER TENDER'S GIRLS is
one I would say to give it a try. See if you like the
strange storyline.
At fourteen, Alice Hill was viciously attacked by two of
her classmates and left to die. The teens claim she was a
sacrifice for a man called Mister Tender, but that could
never be true: Mister Tender doesn't exist. His sinister
character is pop-culture fiction, nothing more.
Over a decade later, Alice has changed her name and is
trying to heal. But someone is watching her. They know
more about Alice than any stranger: her scars, her fears,
and the secrets she keeps locked away. She can try to
escape her past, but he is never far behind.
Addictive and chillingly surprising, this ripped-from-
the-headlines thriller will have you transfixed until the
very last page.
