Welcome to my review of Make Me Disappear by Jessica Payne. I saw Jessica advertising her new book on a Facebook group I am on, and it sounded intriguing, so I got myself a copy pronto. It was as good as I expected and even better, a debut novel, which I hadn’t realised before and I love to read. New authors add tremendous value to the mix, and while they aren’t as experienced as others, I appreciate their fight to get their first book deal and the excitement of holding their novel in their hands for the first time.
By the time I realized the truth about Daniel it was too late. But the truth about me? He never saw that coming…
Dr Daniel Ashcroft was perfect: handsome, romantic, protective. I thought I was so lucky.
But then I heard the rumors about his previous girlfriend, that she had vanished without a trace.That’s when I found the cameras in my apartment.
I was trapped. Daniel made it clear I couldn’t leave him, not without risking everyone I loved. I had to disappear, so I arranged my own kidnapping.
I should have known Daniel would never let me get away that easily. But he could never have predicted what I’d do next…
Make Me Disappear is a brilliantly twisty psychological thriller guaranteed to keep you up all night. Fans of The Wife Between Us, Gone Girl and The Couple Next Door will find it impossible to put down.

This book is completely over the top and implausible. You must suspend your belief in the real world for a while to make it work fully, but it’s a great book!
Noelle is a nurse and is dating the hot, steamy, and brilliantly rich anaesthetist, Dr Daniel Ashcroft. He is the hospital’s answer to Dr Dreamy in Gray’s Anatomy. She has scored big time, and they have been having an excellent relationship until she realises that it’s not all that it has seemed. Noelle realises the only way to escape is to take drastic action, so she does.
The plot is far-fetched and a little crazy, but I enjoyed reading this rollercoaster ride, full of twists and turns and things you would have never seen coming. I felt a little confused at points and began to wonder what was going on and what to believe. However, some great scenes depict the cat and mouse type chase where Daniel tries to find Noelle and save her, or at least bring him home and back under his control.
The characters are well developed. You can feel Noelle’s fear and Daniels’s desperation to get her back, get married and move forward with their lives. His mother is a brilliant piece of work.
I don’t want to say too much to ruin the story or the ending, but the end is full of more twists, a massive couple that you didn’t see coming!
Make Me Disappear doesn’t feel realistic or believable, but it is brilliantly written and will keep you entertained for hours!
