Sipping thoughts: I love Miranda Rijks and there isn’t a book that she has written that I have not enjoyed. This book full of revenge, lies, secrets and deceit took a few turns that I did not anticipate. I’ve heard revenge is best served cold but in this book the revenge is set from the depths of hell. I wished there was more time spent on the ending as I think it was a little rushed. I was also hoping for a different turn but enjoyed it all the same.

Cheers and thank you to @InkubatorBooks and @Netgalley for an advanced copy of @MakeHerPay.

I’m not sure how I feel about this one still. I liked it while I was reading it but I found it very forgettable. I did really like the characters and the story line.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a wild ride. I did not anticipate that ending. This was a good thriller that had a lot of interesting things going on. Miranda Rijkas is becoming a must read author of mine because her books are so gripping and engrossing.

As the title suggests, this book is all about revenge. There were so many twists and turns in this book, that I got whiplash! What a wild ride!

Lennie made a mistake when she was 16, but she’s gone onto build a great life for herself. Yet, someone knows her secret and is determined to make her pay. We find out early on what the secret is, but there was no way to predict the ride that was to come. This story is told from two POVs - the two female protagonists. This book grabbed my attention from the beginning, and kept me intrigued until the jaw dropping ending.

The characters weren’t’t likeable, but I feel that was the author’s intent, and it played into the plot development well. This was my first book by this author, but it definitely won’t be my last.

Thank you NetGalley and Inkubator Books for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is another fabulous psychological thriller by Miranda Rijks. It’s fast paced, engaging and has plenty of twists and turns. A must read for anyone who likes this genre or author.

Is Leonie going to be on the end of revenge, revenge for a motor vehicle collision which saw Leonie being ushered away from the scene by her father who was desperate to cover things up.
Now Leonie is about to get married when the past comes back with bang.

This is a thrilling and exhilarating read that will leave readers breathless and eager for more. With its blend of adrenaline-pumping action and intricate plotting, this novel is sure to satisfy even the most discerning thriller aficionados. I just loved it…!!! A must read

Make Her Pay by Miranda Rijks
(Narrated by Charlie Albers; Ella Lynch)

Suspenseful and twisty thriller!

Leonie involved in a fatal hit and run accident ten years ago and which she didn’t expect that it connected to her current life. She’s now going to marry the perfect man, Marcus. But, was Marcus that perfect for her?

A smartly written thriller with full of surprises. It kept myself guessing what’s happening next. Both narrators did a great job to create that suspense vibe.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for my copy.

Very good psychological thriller, grabbed me from the very beginning. Lots of suspenseful twists which kept me intrigued. It was definitely a page turner and I really enjoyed reading this book. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC. Unfortunately it wasn't for me. It started out ok but then just got dumb. Plot hole after plot hole.

<i>Make Her Pay</i> is a sloooow burn. This is a psychological thriller where the reader knows what's happening the whole time. We know who is trying to hurt Leonie. We know why they are trying to hurt Leonie. But Leonie doesn't know what is happening and why. It is very much a story about a woman - even two women - scorned and how one decision can drastically change the trajectory of your life once you allow someone you trust to take control.

'Make Her Pay' by Miranda Rijks is a mystery/ thriller that revolves around a buried secret coming to light. Well written and enjoyable.

Revenge is a dish served best cold. After an accident that could have changed the direction of her life, Leonie goes to work for her father and tries to put everything behind her. While she is living her best life, preparing to get married the past comes back to haunt her. This is a quick, haunting read where you are drawn into the story and unable to put it down until the very end. Through many twists Rijks had you guessing what will happen next and who will
Come out on top.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you NetGalley, Miranda Rijks and Inkubator Books for hearing my honest review. Looking forward to reading more with you

Thanks to the publishers for sharing this book. Miranda Rijks is so reliable for writing absolute page turners! My full review appears on Weekend Notes.

A twist and turns kind of read on a woman hell bent on revenge after being left for dead after a car accident and the lengths she goes to exact that revenge. It was a good riveting read but the conclusion of it ended suddenly and I was hoping for a bit more.

Thanks to author Miranda Rijks and NetGalley for a copy of this in exhange for my review.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC

This book grabbed my attention right from the beginning and I was intrigued to see what would happen next. It was a good psychological thriller with twists you won’t see coming. The ending seemed a little rushed to me, but overall I enjoyed it and look forward to reading more by this author. Recommended.
