What a ride. Leonie makes a terrible mistake as a teenager and under the pressure of her father she never speaks of it again. Fast forward and that secret has come back to haunt her.
A true thriller. Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.
Told from dual POV, it was easy to follow and so exciting. Great characters. Great plot.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this book.

Make Her Pay

Rijks really reels you in right away and keeps you invested in her stories until the mind blowing endings.

Leonie is meets Markus and after a whirlwind courtship they marry. She has been keeping. A secret from him about something in her past, and her father helped her cover it up. As her mother takes over too much control planning their wedding things start happening that Leonie questions.

Markus’s past and hers collide and ways she never saw coming. I don’t want to give away too much because there are so many twists and turns which will have your head spin.

If you loved White Lotus (TV), or any of the number of books lately featuring wealthy disasters (the Villa, the Heiress, the Fury, etc) this one will be a fun ride!

Premise - a spoiled rich girl runs a woman off of the road while on a joyride in her mother’s car. The girl hit-and-runs, enjoying a picture perfect life, while her victim’s life is completely ruined. Years later, the victim seeks revenge.

There is some suspension of disbelief required to keep the plot moving, but I didn’t mind much because the protagonists are both delightfully awful and the storytelling engaging. It was a lot of fun!
