I Will Make You Pat is a masterful suspense novel laden with subtle events and lots of compelling red herrings.  It is a masterful work, primarily because of the awesome character development and vivid settings.

I highly recommend this book.  You will think about how it all comes together long after you have finished it.  I also recommend a reread for an enjoyable look at how expertly the puzzle was constructed.  Five Stars!

Wow alot of turns in this book. Keep me guessing till the very end. Was a very easy read with alot of emotion in parts. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes a good mystery

Alice, a journalist, gets a horrifying call on a Wednesday at her office that changes her life. Someone is stalking her and terrorising her on Wednesday of every week. Matthew, a freelance detective, who once was a cop, is hired by Alice's boyfriend, Tom, to be her private bodyguard on the dreadful days. DI Melanie Sanders is heading her case and is trying her best to ensure Alice's safety which is threatened. Alice has to face all her demons and her mother who is in her death bed. The story revolves around the characters facing their pasts which takes the influence of each turn they take.

I was told it was a lengthy read a couple of days before I picked it up. I didn't like the idea because I was not in the mood for a lengthy read. Anyways, I picked it up because the more I read the description, the more I wanted to indulge myself in this book.  As a compelling, vivid, chilling and a hell of a suspenseful read, the book lived up to the hype. You know the book rocks when the story begins on the very first sentence! Before I realise, I'm on page 150 and soon, I have reached the end. Whatever the length the book turns out to be if it is interesting and well put. you'll find yourself lost between time and pages. 

As an absolute fast-paced page-turner, every page comes with unpredictable twists and keeps you guessing till the very last. Alice's chapters are truly frightening because it makes the reader as afraid as Alice, on what to expect next. I was deeply empathetic for Him chapters. To know the insight of the antagonist is one of the best aspects of psychological thrillers but unlike all others, even in the end, after everything he had done, I just couldn't bring myself to not have empathy for him. I do not think anyone will. Every character, how small their part might've been, are well and fairly constructed. There were a few aspects which I felt, should've been addressed more but as a fellow reader told me, those aspects are left for the reader's imagination. I loved the sense of straightforwardness in Teresa's writing and the vividness it provided! Looking forward to reading more of her works!

In the end, it is an intense read and to know it based on an experience of the author just makes it more creepy and scary! Nevertheless, this turned out to be a good read.

Recommended: Absolutely!

A solid 4.5 stars because this book is what thrillers are made of. I would love to see this made into a movie. It kept me on the edge of my seat, guessing and fearing for Alice, a journalist with her very own stalker. 

It was so well done, and I actually enjoyed the time jump chapters allowing us a glimpse into the life of the child who became her worst nightmare. Those were a whole other set of emotions. And I think that’s what this author did best, she provoked such different intense emotions that I’m drained. I also didn’t put the book down. I couldn’t. I had to know who it was that was tormenting Alice. 

All I can say is good job, I look forward to reading more by this author.

3-4 stars.  This book had the type of writing that really kept me intrigued trying to know what was really going on.  Full of twists and turns, chills, and thrills, but just a tad too slow paced for me.  Overall I recommend to those who enjoy those books that screw with your mind and heart a bit!  
Will make sure to buzz this book up!

A great mystery has the suspense buried "between the lines"-with twists and turns where you least expect it. I Will Make You Pay is a good-but not great thriller-you don't have to dig far to guess who is stalking Alice. The "why" is another matter-it takes most of the novel to uncover a motive-especially the significance of Wednesday as it relates to Alice's tormentor. Alice is a reporter at a small newspaper, but even with her investigative skills at first she does not recognize the threatening phone calls and letters always arrive in the middle of the week. But the devil is in the details, and Alice's stalker knows so much about her it significantly narrows the suspects. Despite this, I Will Make You Pay moves at a crisp pace-mostly because of a skillful use of a "past and present" dual narrative. This is a good thing for Alice, as each week her attacker becomes more personal and brazen. There are several subplots in I Will Make You Pay-the first directly involves Alice and gives the story much needed intrigue, the other is so haunting and heartbreaking it becomes the most compelling part of the story. I Will Make You Pay is a decent and interesting four star mystery. Sometimes "good" is good enough, and having to read between the lines is more of a burden than a plus. That's definitely the case with I Will Make You Pay.

Alice is a journalist who starts getting threats from an anonymous Pearson. Hire boyfrieNd ,, Tom, heiress a PI, MAtthew to find out who the threats are coming from. Every week, the threats worsen. 

Matthew finds out that Alice's ex fiance was released from prison early. A hunt begins to find him immediately. Alice decides to movies her, mom to a new nursing home just in case the threats may start to include her also. 

The story is a great who done it. Although I didn't particularly think there was, a great twist, it did keep my interest. It goes between Alice's present story and here stalkers child hooks story slowly revEaling why Alice must pay. 

Thank you Netgalley for giVing new an FaRC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I quite liked this book. I enjoyed the pace and the plethora of suspects, all of which seemed valid. I don't want to spoil the book for anyone, so I'll just say that if you like a thrilling mystery, this is for you.

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.  Alice finds herself the victim of a stalker.  She must determine why she is being targeted and continue to keep those around her safe.  

Overall the book was good.  However, I felt that this book had some story lines that were not as fully developed as they could have been.  Because of this, it felt like there were loose ends that there never really were clear answers to as to why they were part of the story.

I simply wasn't able to get sucked into this book. It is possible it was just my mood, as I didn't find anything wrong with the writing. I think the story line is interesting enough to keep someone's attention, I just needed more time to read this with the other things I have going on in life.

*3.5 stars*
This was my first book by this author and it was definitely a page turner! The book immediately opens up with journalist, Alice, answering her work phone to someone on a voice changer saying “I am going to use a cheese wire on you.” It’s a Wednesday, and what follows is more Wednesdays filled with a stalker trying to scare Alice. Alice is rightfully terrified and is trying to find out who this could possibly be. Her boyfriend, Tom, involves a PI named Matthew. There are alternating chapters from Alice’s POV, Matthew’s and then Him, which we assume is the stalker, and paints the picture of his reasons for doing this. I thought the writing was great, pace was good and characters were average. You could guess the stalker pretty easily, but there were definitely some twists thrown in there. It was entertaining and a quick read, so I would recommend it.

*** BOOK REVIEW ***

I Will Make You Pay by Teresa Driscoll is a psychological thriller, in the proper sense. It sucked me in sentence by sentence, page by page until was well and truly on the hook and unable to go back to my usual Saturday night procrastination!  Before I knew where I was, I was 10% into the book on my Kindle and loving it.

Alice Henderson is a journalist who receives a threatening voice message at the outset of the book, which says “I’m going to use cheese wire on you.”  This happens on a Wednesday.  She tries to ignore the implicit threat and put it down to a social media troll, but then the following week, more threats arrive.  

Alice is living with Tom Stellar.  Fearing for her safety, Alice and Tom choose to employ the services of Matt Hill, a private investigator with a police background who still retains good contacts in the police service and he works with DI Mel Saunders and Alice and Tom to try to keep Alice safe as the weeks tick by and the threats keep coming. Alice is frightened for herself but also for her mother, who is seriously ill with advanced COPD and can barely breathe.  She has a sister, Leanne, who looks out for her and tries to keep her safe by letting ALice stay at her high security home in Dorset.  

The story also features the voice of the character simply referred to as “Him” and it’s over to you, to figure out the importance of him, and who he might be.

As with any thriller, there are plenty of malicious motives, dark deeds, scandals and secrets.  There are a number of red herring characters to pull you along the story, keeping you guessing like a good game of Cluedo.  And when it turned out to be Mrs Plum with the hammer in the library (I jest), I gasped out loud because though I thought I knew who the stalker was, I was wrong. 

And I’m pleased to say I didn’t see it coming, at all. As an ending, it genuinely surprised me and I think it worked because it wasn’t a twist without foreshadowing. The clues were there in the story, they had just escaped me before the final pages!  

I Will Make You Pay is easy to read, hard to put down - as a thriller should be - and is all about the action, twists and questions along the way.  A great read which satisfyingly does what it says on the cover.

Thanks to #NetGalley for allowing me to read this advance copy in exchange for review!  

4 / 5 stars from me.

Creepy psychological thriller.  Told from several points of view and smoothly woven into a single resolution.

The stalker is smart and skillful, the stalker's backstory is sadly common in today's internet news.

The victim is simply doing her job while keeping her own secrets.

It's an interesting story of how a single action causes ripples in lives days, months and years later.

I Will Make You Pay by Teresa Driscoll covers everyone's worst nightmare: a stalker who takes it too far.  It starts with a strange phone call, followed by increasingly escalated attacks, both physical and emotional, until Alice becomes terrified of Wednesdays.  Driscoll's novel is a fresh take on the thriller genre with lots of twists and turns you don't see coming!  If you want a new book for Spooktober, pick this up!

This is an especially satisfying thriller from start to finish. Written from the POV of Alice, the journalist who receives threats and is stalked, "Him before", the stalker as a child living with his Gram and Matthew, the PI hired by Alice's husband Tom to help protect Alice and solve the mystery. I found the writing succinct and very well paced, the plot is dark and exciting and the tension as it raced to the climax, palpable. The different POV's lend themselves to wonderful character development and insights into their motivations and what makes them tick. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and highly recommend this twisty thriller. I look forward to reading some of the authors other work.

This is an intelligently worked thriller that deals with the.horrors of stalking. Every Wednesday journalist Alice receives threatening phone calls at her office but the police don't have much to.go on. Her boyfriend Tom enlists the help of private Investigator Matthew to track down the stalker.

The narrative is between Alice, Matthew and interestingly the perpetrator detailing his life with his beloved Gran.

I thought this was a well written story and better than a lot of the psychological thrillers out at present and although I started to guess who the stalker was towards the end it was still a tense story and quite emotional for all concerned.

Highly recommended
