Thank you Libro.fm for the audio copy!

One of Our Own is a short, face paced audio story about a woman, Felicia, who works for a suicide hotline and gets a call from a teenage girl, threatening to end her life over a video taken of her by some boys at her school. The girl goes to the same school as her son, and Felicia has a desperate need to protect this girl and figure out who is behind the assault and video.

The audio experience was really well done for something like this. I love AJ Cook from Criminal Minds, and I would love to hear her narrate more stories. Although the end was predictable, I was hoping for some weird twist to catch me off guard. But honestly the feelings I am left with as a mother of a son are kind of haunting, so I definitely am left with an emotional experience from the story.

I would recommend this one if you're looking for a quick thriller that is a pleasing audio experience.
