4 - 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book and had it not been for some reservations about the ending I would have given it 5 stars. The story was intriguing from the start as the truth gradually emerged over who and why Alice was being stalked. The author captured well the range of emotions that victims would go through as the threats to Alice escalated and her sense of paranoia and suspicion grew of those around her, as she felt increasingly vulnerable. I really liked that Alice’s overriding concern was for her sick mother and the love that Alice and her sister Leanne felt shone through clearly. There were times when the panic Alice felt were vividly portrayed, in particular there was a very scary scene on a train where the tension was palpable.

I really enjoyed the repeating characters from previous books although it’s perfectly possible to read this as a standalone . Matthew Hill, former police turned PI was involved as was now heavily pregnant DI Melanie Sanders and the friendship they shared was a nice element to the book. There were occasional flashes of dark humour, I was especially amused by the issues that one of Matthews clients had with European Lilliputians! Matthew’s kindness to this client was wonderful.

Throughout the book I had constant questions which I liked. I felt a range of emotions over the Him sections from terrible sadness to horror at what he must have suffered but also helplessness as you knew that there was nothing to stop the volcanic eruption of his rage. The storytelling was good - straightforward, nothing unnecessary and just got on with the narrative which I think is a major plus! I really like Teresa Driscoll’s books and thought this one was especially good.

Really enjoyed this novel. The writing flowed and the characters were depicted very well. Couldn't wait to find out what happens next.

** Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with the digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review **
Lo primero que tengo que decir es que me encanto el final. Es un thriller que es interesante desde la premisa ya. Es el tipo de historias que me da mas miedo que las historias de terror. El estilo de escritura es un poco demasiado formal, lo que me dificulto terminar de conectar con algunos aspectos de la protagonista. De todas formas es una buena historia.

I have a hard time getting into her books. I ended up skimming more than anything but the ending was great!!!

I Will Make You Pay is the perfect thriller book!

With an opening line that literally gave me nightmares, a strong storyline and a huge twist at the end what more can you ask for? Matthew is a fantastic character and his small side story with Ian gave me hope in humanity. (Yes I know it’s fiction but if it can warm this cold heart then it’s a winner!)

A strong five out of five and I highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

Now this is a psychological thriller! AJ Banner has done it again! Unpredictable twists you don't see coming. Elise finds her husband in bed with another woman and next thing you know hes dead! I definitely recommend this book!

She summons the police, but they cannot come up with any leads. Alice brings in a PI, but it becomes increasingly clear, that Alice and her entire family are in terrible danger
