Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC in return for an honest review.

Make Me Disappear is a story about a young lady's desperate attempt to escape her controlling boyfriend and the lengths that she will go to to make sure she is safe.

This was a great thriller and I read it in one day. I enjoyed the fact that I was constantly questioning things and wondering what the truth was (which you won't find out until the end).

Definitely recommend.

Engaging and complex. This page turner captivates you from page 1 and holds you in its grip till the last page.
This evocative read dances you through flirting with control thinking it’s love and steps you right into the throes of domestic violence. The fear keeps you on edge throughout. The concept is unique and the deception is deep. The characters are well written and mysterious. I did find the twist at the end to be slightly predictable but it did not affect my enjoyment of the book. A riveting read

A love an early twist because it just tells me there is so much more coming! This was a very fun read. Both main characters are awful and that is one of my favorite troupes of all time. I love a good bonkers read that leaves going "WTF".

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 brilliant stars!

At long last, a 5 star read, and from a debut author too. This book is easy to read with short snappy chapters told from different points of view.

It really keeps you guessing with the twists and turns, and as it’s quite fast paced, you whiz through the chapters.

Recommended.

Thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this book for an honest review.

Hmm...not sure what to write about this one. Interesting concept of having both Noelle and Daniel chapters. Picked the culprit quite early. Some parts were simply unbelievable.

This book was an enjoyable and absorbing read, I really enjoyed the writing style and loved Noelle for her strength and determination. I did guess what was going on quite early in the book, though, but even so I really enjoyed this one.

This Debut was amazing. I could not believe this was a debut.
This story took turns that I did not see coming and man the main twist got me,
I definitely recommend picking this one up

This was so good! Very dark and twisted and kept me guessing right to the end. The characters were really well written and believable. I can't wait for another by this author

This psychological thriller is a real page turner. It is fast paced with plenty of twists and turns that kept me guessing throughout. A great debut book. Looking forward to reading more from this author. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Wow what a debut! Impossible to put down full of suspense, keeps you guessing, a real or planned kidnapping? What is going on!!! Loved the short chapters, and the wiring style that kept you questioning everyone

This one sent me on a rollercoaster of emotions: pity, anger, confusion. I was enthralled with how the author, Jessica Payne, made me go back and forth between differing feelings, divided on characters and who I could trust and who I should be rooting for. Domestic thriller to a T.

I also love a book with multiple POV's, so if you're into that, this one checks that off your list.

Make Me Disappear by Jessica Payne

Perfect on paper Daniel has made it clear that Noelle will always be with him and she knows she is stuck until she reads a story of a new trend….prank kidnapping 🫣 Sounds simple enough…pay to be kidnapped and let go, what could go wrong?!

The premise was something new and exciting and the beginning was great but it started dragging and we weren’t getting anywhere. I felt the few sexual comments were not necessary and took away from the tone of the book. The ending felt rushed and not everything tied up. It was a good read and debut book and I will read more from the author in the future.

Noelle has already realized that her anesthesiologist fiance isn't as perfect as he seems. Then she learns that his previous girlfriend disappeared without a trace and begins to plan her own escape. This Kindle Unlimited title is fast paced and twists and turns in all sorts of directions, some more implausible than others. It was a fun read just to see what was going to happen in the end.

This was so binge worthy and for a debut? I could not put it down! The storyline kind of got a bit unbelievable, but still worth the read! Thriller / suspense lovers- you don’t want to miss this!

I was in such a reading slump recently that the thought of even opening this book felt like a chore - but wow, I'm I glad I did. What a brilliant debut novel by Jessica Payne.

Make Me Disappear has been a thrill to read. What a twist.
It is read in first person, by Noelle, a nurse, and her boyfriend Daniel, an anesthesiologist - both working at the same hospital in Seattle.
The relationship is great at the beginning but very quickly turns sour and has Noelle searching for a way out - and boy, she doesn't half find a good one!

I'd love if there was a sequel to this, but equally, I reckon I'll read anything by Jessica Payne from now on.

Thank you to the Publisher and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Wow 🤩 loved this book 📚, For a debut novel , it kept you gripped from the first page ! When I read the cover of the book I did think , ‘yet another woman kept prisoner in their house by her controlling husband’ but that was so not the case !! An original storyline told from the POV of the two main characters which kept you wanting to read ‘ just one more chapter’ before you went to bed! Will definitely be in the look out for more books by this author

I liked this book! I couldn’t put it down. I liked the premise of this book a lot and also liked that it was set in the Pacific Northwest! Noelle did what she had to do, to get out of her relationship with Daniel and it was a ride!

DNFed. This was hard to read. There were so many instances that I felt like I wanted to punch the main guy (I forgot his name). He was so unlikeable and the way his chapters were narrated were ick. Maybe it's a good writing technique but it felt creepy and it made me uneasy. And the plot made me uneasy as well. But I'll be giving a try on this author's other work.

I really enjoyed this book. Kept me guessing! Very good read but make sure you have a good chunk of time because you won't want to put it down! I would definitely recommend!

Jessica Payne's unique twist on one woman's desire to escape her controlling and manipulative boyfriend had me instantly captivated by her debut thriller, 'Make Me Disappear'. Unfortunately, the book didn't end up thrilling me as much as the initial idea of it did.

When Noelle is backed into a corner in her relationship with her boyfriend Daniel, she is left with only one plan: to arrange for her own kidnapping. Daniel's control has spread to all aspects of Noelle's life and she fantasizes about her freedom when finally her moment comes and she is kidnapped as planned. But freedom is going to be a lot more difficult to reach than Noelle thought, and Daniel isn't going to give her up so easily.

I enjoyed the alternating time frame; looking back into the beginning stages of Noelle's relationship with Daniel and then getting both Noelle's and Daniel's views on the present events of her escape. As some surprising turns began to unfold, the thrill of the ride soon became just a bumpy road as more and more details were inserted and made for a messy and convoluted story. I never became invested in Noelle's character, nor did I feel as empathetic for her situation as I probably needed to be in order to invest in her overcoming the ongoing challenges throughout the story. The author developed an attractive main idea and had some creative highlights that caught me off guard, but through the second half of the book and into the perplexing conclusion the addition of more and more pieces overcrowded the story line I was enjoying. Payne's creativity in how she addressed the theme of domestic abuse and control, however, is not to be ignored and I will be watching out for what she conjures up next as it is sure to have another unique spin.

I appreciate the both the publisher, Bookouture, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an electronic Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for my honest review.
