Genre: Psychological Thriller / Creepy Mystery
Mood: Paranoia, espresso, and fictional nightmares that bite back
Rating: 5/5 “don’t trust anyone” vibes

Ever been haunted by something that doesn’t exist?
Yeah. Meet Alice Hill.
At 14 👧, she was brutally attacked by two classmates — who claimed they did it to please someone called Mister Tender 😈.
The catch?
Mister Tender is 100% fictional — a suave, sinister villain from a graphic novel series… written by her own dad.
Yep. Total daddy issues incoming. 😬📚

Fast forward 10 years…

Alice’s living under a new name 🆕, running a cute little coffee shop ☕️ in Boston, and trying so hard to move on.
But guess what?
Someone is watching her. 👀📸
They know her scars 🩹, her secrets 🧠, and even the thoughts she doesn’t say out loud.
And Mister Tender?
He’s back…
With a smile 😏, a whisper 🫢, and a very sharp sense of unfinished business 🔪.

Why you NEED this book in your life:

Alice = ✨ fierce, flawed, and brilliant ✨
The villain = charming AF 😎 but makes your skin crawl 🕷️

Twists for days — just when you think you’re safe… BAM 💥

Creepy AF Internet-stalker energy 💻📲🕵️

Inspired by a real-life crime that will send you into a Google spiral 🌐

You’ll love this if you’re into:

🖤 Women who refuse to be victims
👁️ Unsettling obsessions
🖋️ Fiction bleeding into reality
🕵️‍♀️ Identity, trauma, and reinvention
🔪 Pop-culture villains with VERY bad intentions
📺 Vibes like You, Black Mirror, Gone Girl, or The Girl Before.

Read with caution:

⚠️ Graphic trauma & stalking
⚠️ Trust issues included
⚠️ Side effects: checking behind curtains, locking your doors twice, and whispering “who’s there?” to empty rooms 🚪🫣🔦

Final thoughts:

Mister Tender’s Girl is like a latte with too many shots of espresso — bitter, bold, a little dangerous… and totally addictive. ☕️💀
It messes with your head in the best way 🧠
And by the time you finish, you’ll be triple-checking your windows. 🪟🔐

Mister Tender is watching.
He’s smiling.
And he never forgets.
