Hollis Johnson is twenty, broke, and burned out. Her dad is dead. Her mom drinks too much. And the only thing holding their life together is a rotation of babysitting gigs around the neighborhood.
Then people start dying.
She finds out about the calls. Creepy, anonymous, always asking the same thing. Do you know where Hollis is?
She tries to hold it together, but the neighborhood is changing fast. The masks are slipping.
Someone is watching. Someone is waiting. And Hollis is running out of places to hide.
Includes a slow-burn romantic thread with high emotional stakes and closed-door tension.
For fans of A.R. Torre, Lisa Jewell, and Minka Kent, When the Stranger Calls delivers a haunting blend of obsession, control, and the kind of tension that creeps in and never lets go.
