Great story kept my interest right from the start. Good pace that kept me guessing the whole time. and well written characters you love to hate. Can’t wait to pick up more from this author!

OMG!!

I took to long to read this book, and I shouldn't have waited. It was incredible. It sucked me in from the get go and kept my attention all the way to the end. I read this in one sitting while ignoring my entire family.

I really enjoyed the 2 different POVs and honestly enjoyed Daniel more the Noelle. I felt like the FMC was a little silly and made stupid choice's, but those choices made her relatable. Daniel was just a cocky, assshole and I loved him for it.

I could have done without the epilogue, I honestly wish I hadn't read it. I made me feel as though the MC didn't learn anything.

9/10 - Fast paced thriller, absolutely would recommend.

I loved Daniel's chapters! I always like to see how the characters think, especially when those characters think so differently.

Pros: revenge, mystery, chess-like "cat & mouse" antics, lies, betrayal, not sure who to trust, fast-paced, chapters were a good length, Jack was a great character, multiple POV's

(Minor) Cons: a bit unrealistic, it seemed at first that Noelle was going overboard, because you aren't exactly sure about ALL the things Daniel did to make her want to leave him so badly, and she didn't try very hard to break up with him, small plot holes as she kind of created her own problems by not telling her supposed BFF/cousin what was going on from the beginning, and I figured out some of the twists before the character did, which always makes me feel like the character is kind of dumb, some of the 'red herrings' felt obvious to me.

All THAT being said, overall it was a good read! I was never bored, there weren't any slow parts or any parts that dragged.

This book was a little out there even for a thriller but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It had well-developed characters and fast paced plotting but the actual plot was a bit unbelievable. 3 stars!

This was one heck of a thriller. From beginning to end, I was trying to guess what was gonna happen, and I cannot put the book down. One of the best books I read in a long time. I highly recommend it if you love thrillers, and I would highly recommend it to friends and family as well. Can’t wait to read more books from this author in the future.

Make Me Disappear hooked me right away! I've been in a reading slump and I loved the start of this fast-paced thriller. The style reminded me of a Frieda McFadden book, an author I really enjoy. However, by midway, the story became very predictable and I was surprised I figured out the ending so early on. I kept hoping for a twist I didn't see coming. I thought Daniel's chapters were great and I would've liked more of them. To be honest, I was kind of rooting for him. The ending was pretty cheesy although all loose ends were tied up. I didn't love this one, but I do think I'd like to check out more of the author's future works.

Listened to this on on audio. Not keen on US accents but then again I didn't realise the author was from there so made sense. Thought this was going to be the usual creepy partner, emotional abuse etc but it became much more than that. Wasn't expecting the ending. Kept me entertained. Enjoyed being part of the blog tour for this one and will definitely be looking out for more books by this author.

The twists and turns of this book are crazy.

Noelle is in a controlling relationship with Daniel.
She plans to get away and that plan goes awry. You go through the book not knowing who to trust and who to believe.

Jessica Payne knocked it out of the park with her debut book.

Can’t still recover from this book! So good. Complete review will be posted on my Goodreads account. Either way, I enjoyed this.

Cheers to Netgalley for the copy!

What a great book! I love everything by this author and this book was no different! I couldn't put this down and was up all night waiting to see how it ended!

This was an utterly bizarre read all in all. It’s a fast paced book and easy to read. I read in one sitting.

Noelle is a nurse and her boyfriend works at the same hospital. He is utterly irresistible and the perfect boyfriend material. That is, until he begins controlling and gaslighting her. He is desperate to marry her but she begins to have doubts.

Daniel is obsessed with pleasing his mother. It becomes incredibly OTT. The writing style left a sour taste in my mouth as it ended up with a cat and mouse type chase across the country. The ending was also very predictable.

I absolutely loved this a solid 4 star read. It was twisty and intriguing everything I love about a book. Will be recommending this one

Makes Me Disappear was an exciting, gripping psychological thriller. I couldn’t put this one down. It’s so hard for me to believe this was a debut. Looking forward to more books from this author.

Unfortunately, I have been locked out of my netgalley account for a few months and was not able to see which books I had on my list, in order to properly read and review. I do apologize and am doing a 3 for neutral. Will update once I’m able to obtain a copy and read!

This book was so over the top but I loved it. The plot was something I hadnt heard of before so it made it so much more interesting . It moves at a very fast pace.

Holy moly this was a wild, twisty ride that I read in a day and absolutely devoured! The audio for this was great, and I enjoyed the POV from Daniel and Noelle. Could you imagine arranging your own kidnapping because you can’t get away from your boyfriend? I couldn’t either but alas, here we are and that isn’t even the craziest thing in this story.

I will just leave it at that, this is a debut from Jessica Payne and it is nuts! So well done, the twists are chef’s kiss, and my jaw was dropped open a few times throughout. It doesn’t get much better than this for sure. I have bought a physical copy of this one for my shelves and added her second book to my list already.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the digital copy to review.

This was a new author for me. I loved parts of the book, I did find it a bit slow and drawn out to get to the plot. I had read such great reviews but my experience was a bit different. Could have been shortened slightly. Liked the book but didn't love as much as I had hoped.

This book was a solid 3.5 for me. This book was wholly original, wild, and a tad far-fetched but I enjoyed every minute! I loved the switch in POV from Noelle to Daniel!

I really appreciated how twisty this psychological thriller is. I never knew what was coming and Daniel was really scary. Noelle drove me a bit crazy with her choices, but she was entertaining to read about. Make Me Disappear was a real page turner.
