Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC (Advance Reader Copy) of Make Her Pay by Miranda Rijiks. Now that was a good book! I really enjoyed this one and it kept me entertained the whole way through. This is a story about revenge and the plot was planned out very well. It is suspenseful and full of many twists. Some parts that I had figured out on my own...well, I was wrong! It was an easy read and I really liked this one. I would definitely recommend it to others. I gave it a 5 star rating.

Leonie has the perfect life. Someone wants to take it away.

Leonie has a secret—she did something terrible when she was 16, and was told by her father to keep it secret forever. Fast forward ten years, and life has never been better—she has a career she loved, a new relationship, wealth and friends.

Meanwhile Carrie hasn’t been so lucky. She was in a terrible accident, lost her baby, lost her fiancé, lost her ability to hold down a job. For ten years, she’s struggled.

Their paths converge and suddenly secrets aren’t secret, and trust is meaningless. What really happened that night ten years ago?

This was the first Miranda Rijks book I’ve read, and it follows the pacing and style of B. A. Paris. Pretty standard UK domestic thriller, and mostly predictable (except for that WILD twist at the end), but it was still an enjoyable ride! I finished this in one sitting, and was definitely entertained watching Carrie and Leonie try to piece things together.

The plot twist at the very end was INSANE and I didn’t see it coming. But it also felt out of place and unnecessary. I think Leonie should have been able to come to the same conclusion and react accordingly without it. It definitely made me roll my eyes with the absurdity of it, so I’m glad it happened at the very end. Otherwise, I probably would have been obsessing over it and it would have ruined the book for me.

Overall this was an intense and well written domestic suspense novel, and I enjoyed it! I think it was well paced, and the characters were well written, even if the supporting characters felt a little one dimensional. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who is a fan of B.A. Paris or similar authors.

I received an arc copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest opinion of it. I have to say that this book started out slow for me and I almost gave up on it. I ended up enjoying the book and I did like how the twists were told halfway through the book and not at the very end. I recommend this book.

Really enjoyed this book, well written and some great twists along the way. Based on the main character Leonie who had a privileged upbringing in debt to her father for something terrible that happened when she was a teenager- her life unravels and it is all to do with that fateful night. Great writing

Betrayal is a bitter pill. This is a twisted story about revenge. But who is really seeking revenge?? This is an unputdownable book that is well written and fast paced. Miranda Rijks knows how to tell a twisted story based on infidelity, betrayal revenge and retribution. I read it quickly as it was hard to find a stopping point. If you like a very twisted story, you'll love this book. Thanks to NetGalley and Incubator Books for approving me to read this book.

First, I want to thank Miranda Rijks, Inkubator Books, NetGalley and ZoolooBookTours for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

DANG!!! Make Her Pay is an incredible read by Miranda Rijks that will literally leave your jaw on the floor! It is insanely addicting and incredibly fast paced so much so I devoured the book in one sitting! It is like a good Netflix Series playing in your head as you read it. One of her bests yet!

Instantly, she grabbed my attention with the prologue! However, I was shocked, stunned, and utterly speechless with the events to come next! I totally understand teenage rebellion as I was once one. However, her act of rebellion went above and beyond and omg the result! That was shocking but nothing compared to how the father acted! I was just lost for words on both parties' actions that I knew this would be a great read.

Miranda touched on panic attacks and I could fully relate to them as I get them too. They are not fun especially if you get them in public.

Make Her Pay was filled with deep hidden secrets that were kept for years. However, when all was revealed it was explosive! This is a must read!

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an arc of this book.

I have read a few by this author and all of them are fast paced and exciting reads. This one was brilliant from start to finish.

An accident ten years ago comes back to bite Leonie in every way possible. A mistake she made as a child followed her to her adulthood and no one can be trusted. Thrilling read.

Make Her Pay was a twisty fast paced thriller. I enjoyed reading it and burned right through the pages.
It had Luckiest Girl Alive vibes for sure.
Leonie had a dark secret in her past, and because of it doesn’t feel like she deserves love or the charmed life she leads. When she falls in love and gets engaged, is it all too good to be true?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ solid stars and I will totally be reading her again.
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC.

This is the 11th book I read by Miranda Rijks and it was a good one. It follows a well-known path - someone with a secret, someone who knows about the secret wants revenge - but in this story, the person who wants to take revenge for what the main character (Leonie) did ten years ago, is in for a surprise.
What I enjoyed was that Leonie did something terrible 10 years ago, but since then she's haunted by guilt because she herself didn't make the ultimate decision to leave after the accident in which she run another car off the road. What I liked less: it was her father who made her do it; and although she's in het mid-twenties now, and a successful business woman, it's still her father who makes all the decisions in her life. Together with her mother, who even 'works' for Leonie although it never becomes clear what she's actually doing. Leonie is not a very strong character but she realizes this during the story and finally starts to understand something has to change.
For the reader it's quite obvious who's the person here who tries to ruin Leonie's life - until it becomes clear that it isn't.
There are a few unexpected developments in this story that makes it just a bit more creepy than some other stories I've read from this author.
I was happy to find this title in the Read Now section of Netgalley.

I liked this book but I felt it was too predictable. I could tell from the beginning what was happening.
If you like a well written book that is predictable, this is a good book for you

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is the fourth book that I've read by this author and have loved them all - so it was with great excitement that I dove into this new release and it really did not disappoint!

I must first say though, that I adore the front cover! Gorgeous colour and clearly shows what sort of book this will be!

I think that I'm may be getting used to Miranda's writing now as I had a good idea of how this book was going to play out pretty early on. But this didn't worry me as I knew that the journey would still be brilliant!
The title and prologue gives us a clear idea of what will follow - but as always, there were some great twists and turns that keep us on the edge of our seat!

Leonie is a young, successful business owner. When she meets Markus on a property search, they hit it off and within a matter of months, are planning their wedding.
When things start going wrong, she wonders whether someone is out for revenge....

I actually really liked Leonie. Apart from the very start where she was obviously a little outrageous (probably caused by her oppressive parents!!) - but the remainder of the book, she really seemed remorseful.
The relationship with Markus, the first she'd ever trusted, progressed swiftly and I was a little wary of him for a good while.

To be honest, I was a little wary of quite a few of the characters and I loved that little hints were given here and there and I would suspect someone, only to find that I was right about the what and why....but still not about the who!!

This was a fast-paced read full of excitement and as ever, full of surprises - which I loved!
I looking forward to seeing what the next book holds!

Miranda never disappoints Another gripping thriller with well defined characters and a good character arc reveal. Leonie has a terrible secret she has kept it simce she was 16. On the surface she is fine but the secret is untangerling her. Told from 2 characters pov clever writing takes a whike to reveal their link. Then hold on tight for lots of teists and turns. Then a final one. Loved everu second a 5 star read highly recommended. Thank you netgallery and publisher and author.

I did enjoy reading the book at certain parts, and some parts were just seemed to drag on. I felt like one of the plot twists was unexpected however most of them where to be expected. The ending was a little bit anti climatic and I felt like I had more questions than answers by the ending of the book. Also, that ending was so bad and honestly so ridiculous.

10 years earlier, Leonie made a bad decision .., she was merely 16, stole her moms car and got into a fatal accident. Her family asks her to keep it a secret, as her dad doesn’t want to “taint” the family name and destroy her future, but this accident (and death) haunts her still. Now, she owns her own business, is engaged to a good man, and she is happy. Something sinister is starting to happen, it starts out as simple mistakes and obstacles, but steadily starts to escalate. Could this be her last catching up to her? Is someone out to get revenge for the mistakes of her past? Is it just awful coincidence? The premise was promising, it hooked me. I do wish there was a tad more character development, and although twists, they weren’t shocking. I wish there was a little ore to the ending. Overall It was a fast and easy read, just wish there was a little more oomph.

Make Her Pay is a great read. It's full of twists and turns that made me keep turning the pages. I couldn't put it down so I didn't and I read it in one sitting.

Thank you to NetGalley and Inkubator Books for my ARC.

Definitely an addicting fast paced book. So many twists and turns throughout the whole book. I couldn’t put it down! However, I had mixed feelings about the ending which is why I gave it 4 stars

Very good book. I couldn't put it down. Great author. Highly recommend. Psychological thriller. Twists and turns.

This book grabbed my attention and I read it within a few hours. I could not put it down. I do wish Leonie (main character) did a better chance of sticking up for herself. I also wish the ending was longer

I love this authors books because they are fast, engaging reads. Once you start you won’t want it put it down. This story kept me guessing and I enjoyed all the twists and turns.

This was my first time reading anything by this author and I will be reading again. Fast paced, twisty, felt a little sorry for all the characters really, maybe not the damn dad though! Also quite a little shock at the end. lol
