Blog Tour: Make Her Pay – Miranda Rijks

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

Leonie is living her best life. Still in her twenties, she’s beautiful, successful and has just met Markus, the man of her dreams.

But Leonie has a secret. Ten years ago, she was involved in an accident in which another driver died. Leonie shouldn’t have been behind the wheel that night – no license, no insurance – so she fled the scene. And ever since, she’s been struggling to deal with the terrible guilt.

Now, as her wedding to Markus draws near, it seems someone is out to get her. It’s little things at first – botched work appointments, a cancelled bridal dress – but it soon escalates into a terrifying campaign which threatens her business, her family and even her life.

Leonie, caught up in a relentless nightmare, has no idea why anyone would set out to destroy her. Until she realizes there’s a link to the accident that happened all those years ago.

Someone knows what she did. Someone is determined to make her pay.

My thoughts: this was twisting, clever and dark thriller about revenge, guilt and the terrible ways people betray one another.

Leonie was involved in a terrible car accident as a teenager, and her parents covered it up. She thinks there were no survivors and has had to live with that guilt – and her dad’s controlling ways, ever since.

But someone wants to destroy her life, someone wants to make her suffer and they’re closer than she thinks.

After marrying the man of her dreams – Markus, who turns out to not exactly be who he said he was. She thinks life is set, until he dies. Then things start to unravel and she ends up fighting for her life, right back where it all started years ago.

Can Leonie survive her worst nightmare, and can she finally break free from her parents and their control over her life?

Right up until the very end the plot takes sudden turns and throws new curveballs, leaving you wondering how it can get worse. Gripping and entertaining stuff.
