Tender Eyes

Tender Eyes - A Novel by Matt Heart

Nestled just beyond the misty backroads of Hollows Creek, Tender Eyes, Ohio is a hidden gem-a town renowned for serving the most unforgettable meals in America. Food critics, travelers, and culinary enthusiasts alike flock from across the country, lured by the promise of a dining experience unlike any other. But for those who venture too far, who stay too long, the town has a way of making sure they never leave hungry... or at all.

When Daniel Kearns, a world-renowned food critic, arrives to review Tender Eyes' famed cuisine, he expects to uncover a town built on passion and tradition. Instead, he stumbles upon something far more sinister-something buried beneath the surface, hidden behind warm smiles and perfectly plated dishes. As his investigation deepens, his curiosity turns to paranoia, and paranoia to terror, when he realizes that in Tender Eyes, the secret ingredient isn't just love.

Some meals should never be tasted. Some places should never be explored. And in Tender Eyes, Ohio, once you're on the menu... there's no way off.
