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.

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.

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.

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

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.

This ARC was provided for an honest review. Thank you, Netgalley and Publishers.

Leonie has the perfect life. Someone wants to take it away. Leonie is living her best life. Still in her twenties, she’s beautiful, successful, and has just met Markus, the man of her dreams. But Leonie has a secret. Ten years ago, she was involved in an accident in which another driver died. Leonie shouldn’t have been behind the wheel that night – no license, no insurance – so she fled the scene. And ever since, she’s been struggling to deal with the terrible guilt. Now, as her wedding to Markus draws near, it seems someone is out to get her.

Despite the plot holes and loose coverage over very key information that needed explaining, the storyline is unique (to me), so it was a fun read.
I did, however, dislike the final twist. That wasn't necessary, in my opinion, and I felt added no value to the ending.

This book does have a closed ending, and you are left with all the answers to seek throughout the book. The characters have depth and are likeable.

If you are looking for a quick, fast-paced read and enjoy thrillers, this one is for you

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read and review this book. This book was a pretty solid 4 for me. There were times where the story dragged a bit and didn't always make the most perfect sense, but it kept me guessing and kept me interested until the end. Some things felt a tad rushed, but the overall tension and story made it interesting. The main character was likeable and even though I could guess where a couple of relationships in her life were headed, the plot unfolded nicely.
