I really loved this book, it definitely kept me guessing, and I couldn’t wait to see what was happening.

Towards the end one of the wishes that I had happened, so that made it even more enjoyable.

I also loved the short chapters, it always makes books easier to read when you don’t have to commit an hour to a chapter.

Thank you for allowing me to be an ARC reader 😊

No good deed.. you saved a life, now your family is in danger. With every phantom drop notification the danger is bigger and closer. It consumes you and becomes all you think about.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ( 5/5 )

I have enjoyed this book, the theme, the plot, the fact that it didn't rely on classic tropes. It was random, Ari saved a life, and that activated the drops. Next in line, was her family.

However, following Ari's journey in trying to uncover who is behind this, and her struggles, glued the book to my hands!

I was hooked, I had to see what happens, and finished the book in less than 24h!

Highly recommend, good twists and definitely an unique plot.

True psychological thriller in every word. You will be guessing until the last word of the book. I know I was.

As Ari settles into island living we follow her through what she believes are future devastations. What we don't know is, will they happen or not. Join Ari and friends as she delves into what she believes are future events.

I was fully enthralled while I read following Ari as she dug deeper trying to figure what was going on. And the ending, you'll just have to read the book to find out.

This story was wild. I absolutely loved the storyline. Talk about original. It pulled me in right from the beginning and had me obsessed throughout. I was gripping my iPad needing to know what was going to happen next. The twists and turns were awesome. I serially couldn’t put this one down. And that ending? I never saw it coming. This is definitely worth losing yourself in.

Ari’s phone begins predicating the future, and no, unfortunately it’s not the winning lottery numbers. It’s the kind of notifications nobody wants. Each message is a premonition of the death of a loved one. And each time Ari, stops and saves a life , a new message and premonition more brutal than the last appears.

What had me most relatable to Ari, wasn’t what was going on with her phone , it was her life. Ari is a mother dealing with terrible migraines and a family, meanwhile her phone is throwing one nightmare at her after another. Ice Packs? Meds? Pain? Absolutely no rest for the weary. GIRL I FEEL YA!!  At times I felt like hey, is this me were talking about🤣

Every time there was another drop I was immediately on edge wondering who was going to be next on the clip. It’s constant tension as Ari figures out what’s happening before the warnings cost her literally everything!

This was such a fun, twisted read. If you enjoy psychological suspense with a supernatural-techy twist this is for you!

Book ReviewARC⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Phantom Drop by Cori Nevruz Release date: October 27, 2026

If a book can make me paranoid about my own phone while simultaneously making me question reality, I’d say it did its job pretty damn well. Thanks to Cori Nevruz and Inside Story for the ARC.

My rating excellent ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This outstanding supernatural psychological thriller completely held me spellbound; I was totally captivated by its intensity.

Ari inherits her aunts beach house in North Carolina, and she and her family move in from their home in Chicago ti make a much needed fresh start.

Soon after Ari saves a woman's life, she starts receiving phantom drops on her phone predicting the death of a loved one. Each time she prevents one fatal event, she receives another drop, with each one becoming more impossible to stop.

As the threatening messages escalate, Ari becomes increasingly determined to uncover the truth behind them in order to protect her loved ones, herself, and her sanity.

She is desperate for answers and turns to her best friend for help, hoping she believes her disturbing story.

I was thoroughly captivated by this compelling thriller and greatly admire Cori's writing style and the intricately woven storyline.
