For fans of Scream, When a Stranger Calls, The Whisper Man, and The Black Phone comes a chilling psychological horror where one phone call changes everything.
A Halloween party.
One harmless prank.
One number that should never have answered.
When brothers Jace and Theo throw an unsupervised Halloween party while their parents are away, the biggest problem they expect is a trashed house or an angry neighbor.
Instead, one reckless game of prank calls reaches the wrong person.
A voice that doesn't laugh.
A voice that doesn't hang up.
A voice that simply whispers...
"I've been waiting."
What begins as a joke quickly spirals into a nightmare. Friends begin disappearing. Bodies are left behind like warnings. And the house that was once filled with music and laughter becomes a prison where no one knows who's next.
Because the caller isn't looking for revenge.
He's looking for an apology.
And he won't stop until he gets it.
Fast-paced, suspenseful, and filled with relentless psychological tension, You Shouldn't Have Answered is a terrifying game of cat and mouse that will leave readers questioning every unknown number... and every voice on the other end of the line.
Because some calls aren't accidents.
And some numbers should never be answered.
