I could not put this book down! So many twists and turns, just when you think you have it figured out, you don't. Written in the style of Alfred Hitchcock thriller it is an enjoyable read. One to really keep the mind spinning!

This was a good book! I enjoyed all the twists and turns and trying to figure out who was stalking her and why. It was a fun ride and I could barely put this book down. Another hit from Theresa. Can’t wait for the next! Thanks NetGalley.

Oh, I LOVED this one! Creepy, mysterious, addictive, just everything I hoped it would be! I first found this author through Kindle Unlimited and was very excited to see she had a new one. This book had some serious stalkerish vibes to it, which is probably the reason why I loved it so much. I suggest anyone who loves a good mystery novel to pick this one up when it publishes! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my advance reader's copy.

What a great stalker mystery story! You will be mesmerized by this book.

A journalist gets a terrifying phone call threatening to cut her throat with a cheese wire. The voice has been disguised and she has no idea who the caller might be. This one is brilliantly written and has you on the edge of your seat trying to figure it out. The characters are believable and the story pace is constant. I loved it and think you will also. This is the first Teresa Driscoll book I have read but it will not be the last.

I wish to thank Net Galley for allowing me to read this book. The book will be available October 10,2019.
I have voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I received an ARC of this riveting mystery. It is a story of a woman haunted by a stalker. It is full of twists that kept me in suspense until the end.

She does it again. All the stars! Absolutely loved this book! The story flows, the characters are fascinating and I couldn't put it down . Highly recommended.

3.5*

Who doesn’t enjoy a good stalker story? This has it all. A background story which is totally unexpected. So many clues as to who the starker is only for your mind changed again and again. The terror - it gets into your bones.

Great book

With thanks to the publishers and author for ARC in return for an honest review

A psychological thriller from Teresa Driscoll. Though the final twist was good, it was difficult to connect with the main character. Being a journalist, she fails to see through the men in her life. As the author says though fear is a terrible thing, courage and love are more powerful. The positive note is good.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4

First. I discovered after finishing I Will Make You Pay that it is part of a series starring PI Matthew Hill and DI Melanie Sanders. It reads perfectly well as a stand-alone; however, I enjoyed the Hill and Sanders characters so much that I will go back to find earlier books. This particular outing follows a small-town newspaper reporter named Alice who has a stalker who only threatens her on Wednesdays. The majority of the novel is told from Alice's POV. The other chapters are from the POV of Him, the presumed stalker. When the police seem unable to help Alice, her boyfriend Tom hires PI Hill to shadow Alice on Wednesdays in an attempt to identify and trap the stalker.

Driscoll did a terrific job ratcheting up the reader's sense of Alice's fear and paranoia, and overall delivered a strong storyline. I was also surprised by the final chapters when we learn who Him is. However, my issue with the book was that while the stalker's motivation was clear, his methodology of obtaining revenge was, I thought, convoluted. It just took away from my overall enjoyment of the novel.

Thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Wow! This was a page turner! Definitely didn’t see the ending coming, but I enjoyed trying to figure out who the bad guy was. I highly recommend this book. Very well written and kept my interest.

This was a read with an interesting story line which follows a journalist, Alice, who is being stalked and harrassed every Wednesday. The horror begins at work and then follows her wherever she goes. Her boyfriend, Tom, hires a retired police officer turned PI, Mathew, to investigate when police resources are stretched thin. All anyone wants to know is who she could have upset badly enough to want to do all these terrible things to her.
The books is an easy read, but predictable in the sense that it doesn't lead to the "usual suspects."

I can't imagine being stalked and the feelings of fear that keep building and building as the events that happen to you get creepier and creepier. You don't know who to trust, so you aren't quite sure who to turn to for help. Eventually you question everything, even your sanity! This book had me trying to guess who Alice's stalker was and why they were doing it. Just when I thought I had it figured out I found out I was SO wrong! This book kept me riveted until the last page. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

PI Mathew Hill and DI Melanie Sanders are on the case together again! Someone has it in for Journalist Alice Henderson. She’s trying to be a good daughter to her mother dying from COPD. She and her sister are close and supportive of each other. She feels a strong kinship with her boyfriend, and her employer is supportive but a bit impatient with the empty threats from some stranger with a hang-up about something Alice has done.
From a second perspective, we meet a sweet little boy being raised by his grandmother and thru no fault of her own, she must leave him at home alone on Wednesday nights so she can keep her job. And a child’s worst nightmare begins: someone opens the mail flap in their door, peeking in and threatening him, “Let me in, let me in…” It’s the stuff of nightmares coming true for this innocent little soul. As these two plots spin closer to one another in time and in common, we’re thrown the occasional distraction to completely keep us off-track.
This is a quick psychological thriller that keeps you guessing all along and envelopes feelings of empathy, deep sorrow, and deep love.

Alice is a journalist that receives a threatening phone call on a Wednesday, and being that she works for a newspaper, the police and also some of her work associates dismiss it as a random hoax against the newspaper, not necessarily Alice herself. However, the next Wednesday Alice receives another threat which is directly meant for her. Now the fear sets in. Her boyfriend hires private investigator Matthew Hill (a recurring character in the author's books FYI) to help find out who is stalking Alice and also protect her on Wednesday.

The book jumps from Alice's point of view now and in her past, Matthew's point of view, as well as the mysterious "Him - before". There are a lot of people looking out for Alice, but when parts of her past are revealed things start to go awry. Who should anyone believe? Who is threatening Alice? I feel like you are kept wondering and questioning everyone's motives until "Him" is revealed and things start to make sense.

I read another book by Ms. Driscoll in the past and it was good, but this one is even better! I will not write a book report as the jacket cover is adequate and many others have written synopses of the book.
A couple of the characters are the same but it is not necessary to read any other book in order to follow this one. Characters are realistic, conversations and thoughts flow nicely and it is easy to know which person's. viewpoint you are reading. It is a mystery,psychological thriller with twists and turns that you won't see coming. The book keeps you turning pages and holds your interest. Thankfully there is very little violence or profanity and no real gore included. Enjoy!

I received this book as a complimentary copy for an unbiased review. Thanks to the author,publisher and NetGalley for the ARC. The opinions expressed are my own.

A fast paced, scary psychological thriller about stalking with lots of twists and turns. I was hooked from the first line, “I will use cheese wire on you”, and read this in one sitting.

The story starts with Alice the main character receiving a threatening phone call in the newsroom where she works as a journalist. One of the things I liked best about this book was how Teresa Driscoll does such a brilliant job of bringing to life the insidious nature of stalking. From the outset I was immediately fearful for Alice’s fate, and really felt her sense of isolation and how the stalker came to dominate her life. Tension builds in the story with each creepy event as the stalking escalates and Alice is forced from her old life. What made it scary was how believable each event was against the backdrop of ordinary life. The story is also told from the point of view of “Him”, whose identity remains unknown until the final twist in the plot. I liked that this character has their own story to tell that makes them sympathetic to the reader. There are lots of hints thrown in as to who this might be, and I was suspicious of many of the characters and their stories. It kept me guessing right up to the end.

Private investigator Matthew Hill makes a return appearance from the writer’s previous books, and I enjoyed the ongoing professional relationship with his ex police colleague, Melanie Sanders. I’m not a big fan of police procedurals so I liked the way the investigation aspect was secondary to the stories of Alice and “Him”, but helped pull the story together and ramp up the action.

I really enjoyed this book. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read it and offer my personal review.

I ripped through this book and really enjoyed it.

I like books that keep me asking questions and this is an excellent example.

It is well written and easy to read-would recommend.

This is a story of stalking. It alternates between the voices of the woman who is being stalked Alice, and her stalker as a young boy going through a dreadful time. I liked that we were given some understanding as to why the stalker had turned out as he did. Too often there is no background given and it is just assumed that the perpetrator is evil. The stalker was once himself a very vulnerable child. The story is well paced with the escalation of the threats against Alice and the inability of those around her to protect her. Characters were well drawn especially Matthew, the private detective hired by Alice's rich boyfriend. I especially liked his compassion towards the lonely old man and thought this subplot was particularly well done. The relationship between Alice and her dying mother was poignant - for once a female protagonist who had a loving relationship with her mother. The only thing I wasn't completely convinced by was the big reveal. Otherwise though a satisfying read. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

It's the beginning of fall and I like to stack my reads with mysteries and thrillers. After receiving an early copy of I Will Make You Pay, I dived right into this mystery and was trying to figure out the "whodunit" and WHY by the clues.

I Will Make You Pay is told in 3 POVs. Alice is a journalist that starts receiving threatening phone calls, letter, etc on Wednesdays. We wonder why her, why Wednesdays and who could it be? By the pacing of the book, we are slowly given little details into her past that would make us question her family, her past and her present.

The next POV is from Him, in the past. 'Him' lives with his gran and seems to have gone through a lot. He has no other family, lives with his gran in an apartment building and she has to work hard and even late on certain days in order for her to support him. But when she works late, this little boy is dealing with more than any young child should have to. Imagine living in a building being 8 years old and staying in your room while your guardian is gone until the wee hours of the morning. It seems scary just thinking it. For that, I had a soft spot for Him.

The third POV is Mathew. He is the PI on the investigation of Alice's stalker. We get to see his family, the woman that's the head of Alice's case and all the little clues he is picking up on by their research and the information that Alice is slowly giving them. He is a carer and protector. He feels he fails if he can't "fix" things. His heart definitely shows throughout the book. I want to hear more about him (and apparently he is from other books, I've been told).

The pacing at times seemed a little slow and it seemed as if we were given so much to make us confused who the stalker was. It's liking giving extra information that you don't necessarily need in order to throw you, which Teresa Driscoll did wonderfully. What she excelled at was making me feel sorry for the stalker (Him). I was continuously waiting for the bomb to explode with him. There was so much tension and vulnerability there that I couldn't wait to see how he was going to handle it all. I almost felt more for him than for Alice. But Alice's love for her mother and her family stood the test of time. She was willing to risk everything for them. And that showed in her scenes with them and one of the final conversations of the book.

There were heart pounding scenes and there was a great cast of characters that all played their parts for a complete story. I did feel some characters may not have been needed, but the interaction and dialogue between them all opened up so many possibilities for us, the reader.

Overall, this was a great suspense thriller that had me thinking throughout. I don't know when I've ever felt so much for the tormentor rather than the victim, but this book made me feel it.

Oh my goodness! What a shocking end! I tried not to figure it out as I read the book. So the ending was such a surprise. Alice had such bad luck with men but was good as a journalist. She got into a niche reporting on a housing development. At the same time as we read about Alice we also read about a child raised by his grandmother. Keep reading, the stories do mesh. So many side stories added to the story. A good story!
