Be careful what you wish for-you might just get everything you never wanted.
Andrew Carter is a thirty-nine-year-old night janitor at Zander High School, a man accustomed to the quiet shadows of a life lived on the sidelines. But his world shifts on an abnormally beautiful April morning when a sleek, mysterious smartphone from The Titus Line arrives in his mail. It comes with a glowing indigo stylus and a single app: WishMate
It starts with a simple wish: for his childhood crush, Chantel Higgins, to finally notice him. When the wish comes true with terrifying precision, Andrew is hooked. But in the town of Diamond Heights, perfection comes with a blood price. For every desire granted, the entity known as the Taker Indigo exacts a sacrifice. First, it's a beloved pet. Then, neighbors. Soon, the very fabric of Andrew's reality begins to unravel as his loved ones vanish to pay his debts.
As the violet sky deepens and the body count rises, Andrew is forced into a final, impossible choice: save the woman of his dreams, or save the world he's accidentally destroyed.
The Phone is a chilling supernatural thriller about the high cost of greed, the weight of memory, and the terrifying truth that some "gifts" are better left unopened.
