This is the first book I’ve read by the author but definitely won’t be the last!  The story drew me in from the start and kept me guessing until the end.

The book was very well written and I liked the cast of characters.  There plot had plenty of twists and turns and the different perspectives made me feel for every character, not just the ‘good guys’.  

Overall a thoroughly enjoyable book.  I’m going to be looking up the author’s other books very soon.

One of the best things a thriller can do is keep you guessing and this book does that! Every time I thought I had it figured out I was wrong. I’m not big on thrillers but I will check out more by this author because she gets it!

Thank you for the opportunity to read this. I will be posting a full review to Goodreads, Amazon, and Instagram.

This is the second book from this author I’ve read and yet again I finished it feeling underwhelmed and that the whole story was slightly unrealistic and over the top. The main plot and main character were intriguing enough and the first few chapters of the book had me hooked, however the more red herrings the author brought in the more unbelievable the ending seemed. It also felt like there were huge chunks of the story just forgotten about and not tied up in the end. The entire parallel plot running alongside the main story also just abruptly ended with no explanation or bearing on the end of the book, as well as a couple of other issues raised during the book that never really came to a conclusion. I won’t read another book by this author again as felt frustrated and annoyed at the end of the book that I’d wasted time reading it

Authentic and addictive, this story explores what it’s like to be the focus of a stalker. The suspense builds from the first disturbing, unexpected contact and ends in a heart-pounding conclusion.

Alice, the journalist fulfils the role of an unreliable protagonist. She hates feeling vulnerable, not being able to live her life as she wants to. Her independence is gradually eroded. Her family is small but supportive and she is protective of them. The familial love is a strong theme of this story in both viewpoints portrayed. Alice has secrets, which are not immediately obvious but make her unreliable.

The character notated as ‘Him’, you presume is the antagonist. His story is poignant but increasingly menacing. Again familial love is a predominant theme, but here it takes a dark focus. The plot has many twists and viable suspects. Multiple plot strands, make the investigation complicated, for the police and the reader.

For those who have read the author’s previous book ‘The Promise’, Mathew Hill, the investigator is also a pivotal character in this story. His family life with wife Sally we first met in ‘The Promise’, and his lively daughter, provide light relief, in this often dark story.

This is a page-turning read. Alice is easy to empathise, and you feel her fear and frustration. The plot is relatable and clever, there are no loose ends, with it’s just ending. There is a poignant echo of the sad little boy you meet early in the story.

I received a copy of this book from Amazon Publishing via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

This was a very good book. It was split into the victim and perpetrator's point of views. It gave some background information on why he was doing this to Alice. It was a definite page turner and I did not guess who it was correctly at all. I definitely need to check out more of this author's books.

I’m between a 3 and 3.5 star rating for this one. This was definitely a pretty fast-paced story but I’d have to classify it more as suspense than a thriller. I really did enjoy the storyline while reading and was invested in finding out how the different storylines would connect and what the end result would be. I did guess the main reveal fairly early on (but I’m pretty good at guessing endings because I do read a lot of thriller/suspense/mystery). One issue I had was that I really had a hard time connecting with the main character in the story. I feel like more time was spent developing some of the secondary characters (for instance, the PI that the main character hires) so I didn’t feel as sympathetic toward the main character as I probably should have. Overall, this book kept me interested and I enjoyed reading from multiple perspectives and seeing how they connected.

I really enjoyed this read! @TeresaDriscoll is skillful in her technique. She kept the story going so that I didn't want to stop reading. However, I had much going on in my non-reading life so I had to keep stopping. I couldn't wait each time to return to the book and see what would happen next. The character development was good and although I could sometimes anticipate what would happen next, there were surprises throughout the book which made me very happy.

If you like suspense, be sure to pick up a copy today!

I had requested this book as an ARC and then totally forgot about it. I finally just read it! I didn't expect the "suspect" to be who it was so that came as a shock to me. I was a bit "underwhelmed" with the ending. I feel like there was a lot of build up for the ending to feel a bit rushed to me. Overall, this book kept me intrigued and wanting to know what was happening and how it would end.

Alice is a popular journalist for a local paper but then suddenly she’s being threatened.  Why her?  Alice was an annoying creature, it has to be said!  Also irritating was the character Alex - none of his ends were tied up.  Matt’s private life wasn’t that interesting and could easily have been left out without any loss to the story.  I loved idea of this but wish it had been more menacing as the villain was nowhere near nasty enough.  It was intriguing, with some twists and turns and would make a decent holiday read.

Oh my goodness doesn’t the title just make you want to read it ASAP?! So so good and creepy which was right up my alley. I am so happy I was able to read this one because y’all... it was one of a kind!

I Will Make You Pay by Teresa Driscoll is an immensely enjoyable thriller. The characters are well drawn and utterly believable; the plot is complex, with twists and turns galore, keeping the reader guessing throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

I will make you pay is a tense thriller that will keep you hooked until the very end. Alice is being tormented and threatened, but only on a Wednesday. It starts with threatening phone calls to her workplace but soon escalates until the people around her also in danger. Throughout the book  we also step back in time to hear harrowing events unfold for a little boy who’s primary carer is his grandmother. But how does this link to Alice now?
I throughly enjoyed this book and would definitely read more novels by Teresa Driscoll. I did feel however that some of the red herrings were a little out of place and some loose ends were left untied.

I liked this one, i guessed the twists but not until the end. Definitely recommend for people looking to get into thrillers

A psychological thriller about a journalist threatened by a stalker.  Too slow in its build up to the denouement and not to my taste.  Thank you netgalley and the publisher for the arc.

Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  

I Will Make You Pay is a fantastic psychological thriller.    There are many twists which will keep you turning the pages.    The characters are interesting and relatable.     The storyline is believable and brilliant.

"It seems like an ordinary Wednesday, until the phone rings. "ohhhhh, if a book starts like this it will have my interest. Yes, maybe it is simple and cliche, but I love me a good thriller with a twist. Beautifully written with a mixture of suspense and a heart-wrenching story of love for a mother who does not have much time left.

For me, a sign of a great thriller is that I can't read it before bedtime. or risk insomnia  This novel certainly qualifies.  It captivated my attention from the first chapter and held it through the very last chapter.   We see three characters reappear from the author's book "The Promise" but it is by no means a sequel. I found "I Will Make You Pay" superior in every way.  I took away one star for being able to identify the villain halfway through, but I attribute that to being familiar with Driscoll's formula.

A disturbing phone call to journalist Alice Henderson sparks a series of terrifying events - all of which take place on Wednesdays. Alice begins to dread the middle of the week in anticipation of what will happen next. Just how far will her stalker go? Her boyfriend hires a private investigator in the hopes of finding out who is terrorizing his girlfriend. Each Wednesday the threats and destruction are escalated. When the police finally think they have a lead, it doesn't seem so promising that the individual is Alice's stalker. And Alice has some secrets of her own....

I give this one 3.5 out of 4. I felt it to be a little slow in the beginning and middle. When I had a guess at who the stalker was, the author shed some suspicion on a couple of other characters. I always like a book that keeps me guessing. I would definitely like to read more from this author.

Breathtaking. Heart-wrenching. Mesmerizing. These are just a few of the words that come to mind about I Will Make You Pay. Teresa Driscoll has written some awesome books in the past, and she does not disappoint with this one! This book makes you read it from the front cover to the back. It is fast-paced and contains mystery and suspense throughout, catching you by surprise when you least expect it. Who is Alice’s stalker?! Why was she chosen? Why on a Wednesday? These questions are answered but maybe not in the manner that you expect. Character development is superb, from Alice to the private detective to the very pregnant police detective. Each character brings a unique perspective to the story. I promise you will not want to put this book down until you finish! Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book.
