Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this audiobook for my honest review

A very short but creepy story. Then ends with giving you something to think about. It was a horrifying situation. I just think the ending was quite obvious and so it wasn’t shocking at all but still a creepy short story.

I really struggled with this book. The narration was very monotonous and not enticing to listen to. I couldn't finish the book for that reason unfortunately.

meh! decent, predictable short story. i think this would have functioned better in a story collection as opposed to a standalone short story, but that's just my opinion.

This is such a fun little short story! Really enjoyed it and didn’t see the twist coming at the end at all!

This was fine, I was a bit disappointed at how short it was but it was still enjoyable. It was also a little predictable but that's only to be expected sometimes.

A fun concept of a quick and easy listen! Was nice to listen to on my lunch break. The idea of a short suspenseful story sounds amazing but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me personally. It didn’t really grab me like it should have, there was no really ‘OMG’ moments for me unfortunately. The narrator did a good job setting the tone.

A great thriller/horror short story. It was interesting but not groundbreaking, but they did a great job of building and ominous atmosphere, the ending was somewhat predictable.

This was probably the most predictable thriller I have ever read.
I liked the writing style and definitely will read more from the author, but this book was a bit disappointing.

I was given this book by netgalley and it's
my opinion of what I thought about it.
A short story that shows how if you plan to kill, things can go wrong.
A plot to kill her husband goes awry.
Didn't see the ending coming.

This was a quick read and it made for a nice change of pace. While it was definitely predictable, I had a fun time.

Till the Last Piece: The Perfect Recipe for Murder is a gripping psychological thriller. The story centers around Amber, a wife and mother whose life changes when she gets a mysterious package that reveals some seriously shocking secrets.

The plot is engaging, with each chapter uncovering more layers of lies and betrayal. The suspense builds up perfectly, leading to an ending you won't see coming. The writing style is gripping and full of tension. I thought the characters were well-developed. I was hooked from start to finish.

"Till the Last Piece" is centered around betrayal, vengeance, and the dark places to which those emotions can lead. It's a quick, engaging read that will leave you pondering the nature of justice and the lengths to which a person will go when pushed to their limits.

** spoiler alert ** I got it as an audio book not realizing how short it was. Really wanted to love it, but it just didn’t deliver. It is repetitive, the characters are like caricatures, from the evil husband and the conniving mistress to the wife who decides on murder in less time than it takes to wash the dishes. The mystery is not a mystery at all - as soon as she makes the cake it is clear what will happen. It reads like a writing exercise of a student writer who did not have time to come up with a better plot.

Macabre Minutes #1.

This was fine I guess for a 30min free listen.

It's quick to the point, and the story is decent enough, though it's definitely easy to suss from a mile away. I feel like it's the kind of plot you read and then swear you've read before elsewhere. So it was okay, but nothing outstanding.

My biggest issue was the narrator - she was fine, but she sounded more like a lil old grandma reading a bedtime story than a vengeful young wife. I just never got into the true horror headspace of the story because I was waiting for some kind of grandma/little old lady twist.

There's not enough here to really recommend, but if you're after a short listen and you have NetGalley it's an easy way to kill 30min.

With thanks to NetGalley for an audio ARC

I really enjoyed the concept of the story—it's a perfect short read for a car ride! The premise had a lot of potential, but unfortunately, the plot felt quite predictable. There were also moments where certain parts seemed to repeat themselves, which made the pacing drag a little. Still, it's an easy and quick read if you're looking for something light and uncomplicated.

This 30 minute thriller delivers a completely fleshed out story in a small package. A woman's perfect life is turned upside down when she receives a package in the mail chock full of proof that her husband is cheating on her. Her decision to punish him is immediate and the punishment severe. The twist was extremely predictable, but the story and narration were enjoyable.

This audio book gave me the mental image of an old woman telling me a story in a dimly lit room by a fireplace. Loved it!
It’s mysterious, and easy to listen to! I enjoyed this one!
