I really enjoyed this book. It kept me guessing and page turning. I don’t want to give away any of the twists but will say that they were well disguised and well timed. A great fast read.

This was an easy and enjoyable read. The main characters were likeable and well written. I found some of the story far fetched but was happy to accept the dramatic licence. It was definitely a page turner and a quick read as I was keen to find out what was going to happen at the end. I would definitely recommend giving this book a read.

A good thriller, entertaining and an easy read for the holidays!

The story of Leonie who did something terrible when she was a teenage. Her dad, who is success hungry and only care for his reputation, did not let her think of the actions to take as a consequence of the terrible thing she did, but instead decided to cover her tracks and pretend nothing had happened.

I wouldn’t say it’s a gripping novel with suspense as we know pretty quickly what is going on. However there are a few unexpected events that does keep you on your toes!

Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and the author for letting me read a copy in advance!

This was a great read. While the main character could have easily come across as a privileged brat whose dad helped them form a business, the author did a good job of making Leonie relatable, struggling to free herself from her dad's controlling approach.

While the tension over who might be out to sabotage Leonie and why was a reason to read on, I really enjoyed the character development of Leonie as she faced increasingly challenging hurdles.

I’d recommend ‘Make Her Pay’ for domestic thriller fans who like secrets from the past resurfacing and characters who are morally gray.

I’ve read four of Miranda Rijks’s books this year and have enjoyed all of them! Looking forward to seeing what she comes up with next year!
