⭐ Instant Hook: There is no slow buildup here. The nightmare starts immediately, and the pacing is relentless.
⭐ Massive Cliffhangers: Almost every single chapter ends on a twist or a revelation that makes it impossible to put down. I kept saying 'just one more chapter' way past my bedtime!
⭐ Incredible Protagonist: Jess is so fierce, relatable, and resilient. You will be cheering for her the entire time.
⭐ Shocking Payoff: The author delivers layers of dark secrets that completely threw me for a loop. You will not see the ending coming! If you want a fast, gripping, high-tension psychological thriller that reminds you to double-check that your front door is locked, pick this up immediately! Michelle Powers is definitely a new favorite author for me.
You Shouldn't Have Answered: Some Numbers Should Never Be Dialed...
C.K. SmithMy review:
A heart-pounding nightmare you won’t be able to put down! I recently had the incredible opportunity to get a sneak peek of C.K. Smith's newest thriller, 'You Shouldn’t Have Answered', and I am still reeling from that ending! 😱 The plot: What starts as a typical night for siblings Jace, Theo, and Ashley turns into a desperate fight for survival after a "harmless" prank call goes horribly wrong. When the voice on the other end whispers, "I’ve been waiting," the party stops and the hunt begins. Why I loved it: * Constant tension: From the very first phone ring, the sense of dread is suffocating. I felt like I was trapped in that house right along with the characters. * The dynamic: The relationship between the siblings added a real emotional layer to the scares. * The villain: This is an intense psychological game of cat and mouse where every choice has a terrifying consequence. This was such a gripping introduction to this author’s work. C.K. Smith has a gift for taking everyday situations and turning them into nightmares! Mark your calendars—this one officially drops on May 10th.

📚 BOOK REVIEW: Almost by Samara Cove ⭐⭐⭐⭐½
Wow. Samara Cove did not play around with this one! I just finished Almost, and my mind is absolutely spinning.
It is a brilliant, fast-paced psychological thriller that pulls you straight into the mystery. The atmosphere is completely unsettling, the characters are wonderfully flawed, and the twists caught me completely off guard. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, the plot completely shifted.
This book is easily a 4.5 out of 5 stars for me! If you love domestic suspense that keeps you guessing until the very last page, add this to your TBR list immediately.
