Audiobooks Like Woman Down

Sarah Naughton narrates this Colleen Hoover thriller with a restless, slightly destabilized quality that suits a protagonist whose grip on reality keeps slipping — there's an edge of performance to the delivery that keeps the unreliable narrator conceit feeling genuinely unnerving across 12 hours. Two picks share her narration and two more come from Hoover herself, while the bulk of the list holds that same uncomfortable blend of romantic longing and psychological threat.

How We Rank Audiobooks

Rankings are driven by listener ratings and review counts from Audible and Goodreads. Books with high ratings across a large number of listeners rank higher — a 4.5 with 50,000 ratings says more than a 4.8 with 200.

Unlike most book lists, we weight audiobook-specific factors: narrator performance, production quality, and how well a story translates to audio. A great book with a poor narration isn't a great audiobook.

We don't accept paid placements or prioritize new releases. These rankings reflect what listeners actually enjoy, not what's being promoted.

Rankings update periodically as new ratings come in and new titles are added to the collection.
