Narration: 5 Stars
Story: 4.5 Stars

You know that age-old saying "revenge is a dish best served cold"? Well, Rachel Howzell Hall delivers just that & more with her novella, How It Ends - this was so entertaining & juicy!

Hall's been an author on my radar for quite some time now, but this is the first time I've actually checked out her work & consider me an instant fan! I loved her writing - this was sharp, breezy, & very witty, Hall managed to balance both laughs & thrills with such ease. I really empathized with Marti & her situation, both struggling to free herself from the grasp of a toxic man & dealing with PTSD from a brutal break-in that may or may not have been targeted. There were plenty of twists & turns & Hall did a fantastic job of making you question just who was responsible - & I was immensely satisfied with how this ended! & I have to give it up for the truly fantastic narrator, Joniece Abbott-Pratt - she performed the hell out of this! I was so invested, she made me feel like I was right there amongst all of the action & I just ate it up - I'll listen to anything she narrates!

This is yet another win from Audible Originals & I know Hall has a new novella that just came out with them, as well - See How They Run! I had such a blast listening to this, highly recommend, & I truly can't wait to check out more of Hall's work!
