Tender Eyes 2 a novel by Matt Heart
Devon Smith was supposed to be on the fast track to greatness-a college football phenom with pro scouts calling and a future lined with bright stadium lights. But one reckless decision changes everything.
When his teammate Carlos convinces him to "borrow" a school bus for a weekend trip to Cincinnati-a tailgate, a big game, and a chance to meet the pros-Devon agrees. Joined by their friends Kimberly, Johnnie, Xavier, Chelsea, Dylan, Brittany, and Renee, the group sets off for what should've been the road trip of a lifetime.
Until a freak accident on a snowy fog-choked back road forces them off course.
Until they find themselves stranded in a forgotten town that doesn't exist on any map.
A place called Tender Eyes, Ohio.
The locals are too quiet. The diner is too clean. And the meat tastes... different.
As night falls and people begin to disappear, Devon and his friends realize the truth: in Tender Eyes, outsiders don't leave-they're served.
