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.

Since reading I am Watching You and loving it I am excited to read anything by Teresa Driscoll. This books follows the investigation into a journalist who is being stalked in an extremely unpleasant way. The book is fast paced and full of twists. I loved it!

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

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. It was not my favorite by this author, but I have enjoyed all of her stories that I have read and recommend any for fans of Mystery Thrillers.

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.

I received a free copy from NetGalley. A threatening call on a Wednesday from a possible stalker turns into something more as they continue each week and Alice has secrets of her own that she is trying to hide. Told by three characters, and getting off on a few side tangents, this is an okay suspense thriller.

This was a intense book that kept you on the edge of your seat, I was impressed by the character build up, I enjoyed the intense structure of the book, always get a little creeped out by books talking about stalking. What a great plot. This book hit a wide range of emotions. I was thoroughly impressed by this book! I enjoyed it but I was unsure about the ending. What a good read!

The book was a good read. I do not think it was standing out among all the other books but good read on rainy Sunday evening.

I Will Make You Pay is a fast paced thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page.

The main character, Alice, works as a journalist at a dying paper. She receives a series of quickly escalating threats and actions on Wednesdays, despite her and her family’s best efforts at security and protection.

We hear the story through a trio of narrators - Alice, the private investigator Matthew, and “Him.” The characters were well developed and it was easy to switch between chapters.

I don't know what's possessed me to read adult thrillers lately, but I Will Make You Pay did not disappoint and may have convinced me to read more.

We follow Alice as she's harassed and threatened every Wednesday with a variety of different methods, until she hires a private investigator turned "bodyguard" to get down to the bottom of it.

There's questions that I found I was asking myself: why Wednesdays? what did Alice do? who has she pissed off that much? These questions were so vaguely explained while reading that it made it exciting to keep reading to find them unravel and fully explained.

I knew early on that the cops were chasing after the wrong guy. However, I am actually surprised with the outcome of the story. There were a few things that I didn't see coming . . . especially that ending.

There were a few things that you or more less had to read in between the lines, but this was a very nice read. I hardly ever figure out the "who done it," so the thrill kept me reading and intrigued until the end.

The mark of a good psychological thriller in my book is whether it keeps me up at night, listening for sounds in the backyard. This one did in spades. There were some detours that didn't add a lot to the story but fleshed out the characters but for the most part, Driscoll stuck to the central story of Alice, a talented reporter, who is being stalked by someone who attacks her every Wednesday. At first the threats are small (a phone call with a garbled voice) but when events escalate, Alice's boyfriend Tom enlists the service of a PI Walter. Before long, we learn Alice is hiding a secret that may point to the person behind the threats. There's a rich mix of characters surrounding Alice (her mother, sister, co-worker, activists she encounters on an expose she's doing) so you're kept guessing until the very end. Definitely worth a read for those who like good puzzles and suspense reads.

When Journalist Alice Henderson is threatened over phone, she dismisses it as a hoax. But when the warnings escalate every Wednesday, she cannot ignore it. Alice is determined not to give in to fear, but her boyfriend insists on hiring private investigator Matthew Hill.

The story is well-paced and the characters are well-developed. There were some shocking twists. Overall, a very enjoyable read. Thanks to Netgalley and Amazon Publishing for providing me with an ARC of this book.
