Just finished this book and I’m still kind of thinking about it.
It starts fast. Like, I wasn’t even settled in yet, and it already had that weird, uneasy vibe going.
My phone rang while I was reading, and I literally froze for a second, which seemed ridiculous but whatever. The whole thing revolves around a woman getting these strange calls, and you’re basically stuck with her trying to figure out if she’s imagining stuff or if something’s actually happening. Purchase Here.
It’s not dramatic, just that slow “hmm… something’s off” feeling that creeps up on you. I kept changing my mind about what I thought was going on…like every few pages. The story stays tight; no random side characters or weird detours.
It’s mostly her, and whatever’s happening, and you’re just kind of in it with her. Every time I thought I had it, something tiny shifted, and I was like… okay, maybe not.
The ending was fine – not huge nor wild. Just… yeah, that makes sense. I closed the book and sat there for a minute doing nothing. If you like the everyday kind of creepy “this could actually happen” stuff, Don’t Answer the Phone hits that, and yes, I looked at my phone weirdly afterward. Not proud of it!
