I Will Make You Pay is an enjoyable, suspensful thriller. It's the third book I've read by Teresa Driscoll and I look forward to reading more. |
Great dad. I thought I knew what was happening but was absolutely wrong. Kept me guessing up until the very end! |

I loved Teresa Driscoll’s, I am watching you. However, this one just didn’t have the pull and intrigue like her other novel. Unfortunately, it was a miss. |

This suspenseful thriller is the story of a journalist who receives a threatening phone call every Wednesday from a stalker. It kept me guessing (and reading) as the interactions with the stalker grew more and more intense. I recommend this book for readers who like a fast paced thriller. I highly recommend! I received an advanced readers copy of this book for my unbiased review. |
This book follows the story of a journalist who starts receiving threatening calls, flowers and notes, all on the same day, Wednesday. It flips through perspectives of different characters, and timeframes. There were several options for the “who did it” but when you find out who, it was staring you in the face all along. I enjoyed this book! I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review |
This tells the story of Alice Henderson, a journalist for a small-town newspaper. One Wednesday, while at work, she receives a phone call from someone using a voice scrambler, with a disturbing message. At first, she doesn't think anything of it and thinks it might be about a story she's working on. Then, she gets another chilling message the following Wednesday. and hires a private investigator when the police investigation stalls. She is still not sure if this is personal or an attack against the newspaper until a threat is posed to her mother. She desperately wants to put an to this stalking but doesn't know who would want to stalk her. She can't figure out why it happens on Wednesdays. Does it have something to do with her own secrets she's hiding from her past or something in her present life? I thought the ending was a bit rushed and things were tied up nicely but it didn't need to be so rushed. |
A solid stalker suspense - I read it in less than 24 hours and it was definitely one that held my attention for the most part. |

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review. I usually love thrillers and can't put them down. For some reason I just couldn't get into this one. Will still attempt other books by this author as the concept of the book made me want to read it! |
Wednesday is just an ordinary day. For most of us. But for Alice, it´s the scariest, most dreadful, and torturous of days. It´s the day when her stalker comes out from his hiding place and makes her day a living hell. Not knowing what will come next, Alice is scared for herself and her mother, not just every Wednesday but every day, seeing danger all around her, not trusting anyone, and living her life in fear. She loses everything in the process, her career in journalism gets on hold, her past gets revealed and her self-confidence shaken. Who is the man calling her, following her, threatening her and her loved ones? Did she do anything to make her ex-husband furious? Or is the stalker some psychotic stranger? This plot is captivating, it pulls you in and doesn´t let go until the very end. I kind of suspected what the outcome will be, but it didn´t bother me, because the ending is so brilliantly executed. The flow of the book is great, I loved the different POV´s - one from Alice and the other from Him. From his perspective, the reader gets to know the mind of the stalker and his motives, slowly building the tension, until the last piece of the puzzle is fitted into the jigsaw. And then Wednesday becomes just another day of the week. |
For Alice one day of the week is worse than any other, Wednesdays. In this thriller Alice has a stalker who tends to always strike on Wednesdays. This book was fast paced and kept me guessing at who was causing all the problems. It did wrap up a little quick, but was still enjoyable and a satisfactory ending. |

I didn’t enjoy this one as much as I thought I would. I ended up putting it down after a few chapters. |

Good read, flew through the pages and kept me guessing, kept thinking I’d figured it out and then there would be another plot twist - would recommend! |
Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing for an ebook copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, This was a well written thriller mystery which I would say ending with a surprise twist.

Alice Henderson is a journalist who seems to have a normal life, well atleast everyday except on Wednesday's. The first incident was a simple phone call that she thought was just a crank call. As time moves on and it continues, she realizes that she is being stalked. Her stalker knows too many details about her life but only contacts her on Wednesdays. The book is told from different points of view (mainly Alice and "Him"). Matthew, the private investigator does provide some information to the story. The story starts very slow but helps with the suspense and building the story. The ending is guessable even though there are several possibilities to who the stalker could be. Alice certainly has a past that is revealed half way through the book and helps you to understand more of why things are happening. There are lots of side stories that are told that should help you put everything together or at least see the bigger picture. I Will Make You Pay would certainly make the perfect Lifetime Movie and I would watch it. I did feel like the ending was a little rushed and would have liked more. Thank you NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. |
I absolutely loved this book. this was my 2nd book by Teresa Driscoll, and I'm totally hooked, I was completely in awe of the unpredictable twists and turns that kept me reading well into the night. This was a thoroughly enjoyable heart-pounding thriller, and it kept me guessing from one chapter to the next. Well done!! I will recommend it to everyone I know.. I love page-turners like this that keep the reader guessing, and would most definitely consider reading her other books. :) |

We’ve all gotten cranks calls at one time or another. Kids being silly, a wrong number too embarrassed to say something..the heavy breather. What if you get these calls with regularity? On the same day? Weekly? Would you be paranoid if you think this is more than a coincidence? Read the book and see if the harassed is acting the way you would..or would you do something else? Suspenseful read. |

I have read a few books about stalkers recently and this is one of the better ones. A twisty thriller with plenty of suspense, and a shock ending that I did not guess. Recommended. |
