I was excited to read this, but struggled through it. I loved the intensity at the beginning, the middle lulled a bit, and then it got better at the end. It was suspenseful and well- written and I would read another book by Teresa Driscoll.

Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A classic of the creepy whodunit genre using a well oiled formula … girl with a past gets stalked by mystery man.
The writing is light and enjoyable. The characters are well developed.
The tale is told from three principal POV : Alice, ‘Alice before’, ‘Him before’.

There is an almost immediate understanding that the perpetrator is someone close to Alice. The choices are few and the author steadily drops enough clues to quickly figure out the scheme. The mystery of the ‘why’ remains until the end of the book as it is a little stretched.
It’s an ok book, no big reveal for me. From the author pen endless ‘It’s ok Alice. It will be alright Alice”

This book feels like it was written for a movie. It would probably make a decent movie but as a book …. meh

Thank you to Teresa Driscoll and to Amazon Publishing for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I will make you pay
By Teresa Driscoll

Journalist Alice Henderson is being stalked but who could it be? Her former fiancé, the good looking musician is the main suspect, but why would he do it? He was recently released from prison in which he was charged with having sex with his underage piano students. Alice was blind to his antics except for one time where he seemed overly intimate on the phone with one of his students. Could that be why? She told the police about it. Could it be her co-worker who happens to be around when someone happens to Alice?

Why is it just Wednesdays? What is the significance?

Who is the little boy living with his gram who let the mean neighbor in and later took advantage of him and lured him with treats and candy? Then told the boy that if he ever told, he would kill his gram?

This story was definitely an interesting read for me. Teresa has a way with those twists and turns that keep you on your seat. I enjoyed this story and would recommend it to others. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

This story had me hooked from the off. Constantly kept me guessing then second guessing myself and I love that in a thriller. Lots of twists along the way that threw me off the scent of the killer. I really enjoyed this one and will look into more books by this author

I really enjoyed this book and would read more from this author. May have been first but won't he the last.

This was an interesting thriller, Alice is a journalist with a past who gets a call on a Wednesday that she tries to write off as a hoax. But it's not, she is being targeted, and every Wednesday the threats escalate. Her bf hires a PI to protect her, but it's not helping to find out who is behind this. Tension escalates. This is where the story is at its best. However there were several subplots going on that distracted from this, and therefore it was hard for me to be vested in the overall story. I did not figure out who the stalker was ahead of time but by the time we got there I wasn't really interested anymore. Huge potential that fell a little flat for me.

This book is a slow burn but is filled with twists and turns. It kept me guessing throughout.
The story is told in a dual timeline which I liked

This is the first Teresa Driscoll novel I've read and it's an absolute cracker! Fast-paced, gripping and filled with a host of possible suspects, it has all the necessary ingredients to make a tasty whodunit pie that I devoured in two big bites.

Hoax calls at a newspaper aren't out of the ordinary so when journalist Alice picks up the phone one Wednesday afternoon, and the reader is given the most chilling opening line, she is rattled but she doesn't take it too seriously. Until the next Wednesday when Alice receives a delivery that makes her take it very seriously indeed. Dreading each Wednesday and the disturbing escalating threats, Alice's boyfriend hires a private investigator to keep Alice safe. What the PI doesn't know is that Alice isn't who she appears to be...cue dramatic music!

What a twisty ride this is! With secrets being revealed from Alice's past and flashbacks to the perpetrator's past, my eyes were glued to the page and I couldn't read fast enough. Although not excusing his current actions, I actually felt really sorry for the mystery boy in the 'Him' chapters. Brought up by his gran who goes to work on a Wednesday night to make ends meet, he is scarred by events beyond his control. No wonder he hates Wednesdays.

Alice's past is equally intriguing and I loved the extra layer this gave to the intricate and carefully crafted story. It certainly made me suspect pretty much every male character in the book at one point or another and really kept me on my toes. I didn't even realise I'd held my breath towards the end until it exploded out of my mouth as my jaw dropped. Such brilliant writing!

Suspenseful, chilling and filled with tension, I Will Make You Pay is a breathtaking thriller. It may be my first Teresa Driscoll novel but it most definitely will not be my last.

I chose to read an ARC provided by the publisher via NetGalley and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.

This book was so easy to fall into and everything you’re looking for in a thriller! The characters were on point and the turn of events went from freaky to bizarre and completely blew me away🤯 I also loved the authors note and the end of this story. Really suggest reading this if you haven’t already, it will not disappoint!!

I am already a huge fan of this author and this book confirms why.
Another brilliant read.
Utterly gripped from reading the cover to the last word. Raced through this book, could not turn the pages quick enough to find out more.
The 3 way perspective is very clever and works fantastically well. There is always a worry it may be confusing but not in this case at all. It added a depth and detail you just couldn't have got otherwise.
I am only sorry I read this so quickly as it was all over too soon.
Huge fan of the author and very very grateful for the copy of this ok thank you

I was able to read this book thanks to NetGalley. It was a very entertaining and fast paced thriller. I enjoyed the story and characters and recommend it to all thriller lovers. I will be looking out for more books from this author in the future. Thanks again to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book. I really enjoyed it!

What a fascinating book. I was impressed by the storyline and the characters were all well written and complex. Where there are complex storylines combined with intriguing characters the reader experience is magnified tremendously. To have a book that is well written as well as entertaining is a delight. Reading is about escaping your world and entering another one. Here I forgot about my own life and was immersed in the world created by the author. I would recommend this book.

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!
