From New York Times bestselling author J.T. Ellison comes a chilling tale about how a reporter’s deep dive into a viral video challenges her preconceived notions of what being a hero really means.

When she recognizes the heroic stranger in a sensationalized news video, Addison Blake plans to use the information to her career’s advantage. That means returning to the hometown she left behind ten years ago, but her ambitions are more important than the ghosts of her past. She’s focused on breaking this story—as long as it doesn’t break her first.

J.T. Ellison’s These Cold Strangers is part of We Could Be Heroes, a darkly inquisitive collection of short stories that examines heroic intentions versus their real-life consequences. Read or listen to each in a single sitting.

A short Amazon, original with plenty of twists, and turns to keep you guessing. I think it takes a great storyteller to tell a good story in a short length.

I wasn't sure I would like this, but the writing and characters won me over. Good read and listen. I really enjoyed the performance by Brittany Pressley. This was my first time reading just J.T. Ellison, but I have read her "A Brit In The FBI" series with Catherine Coulter.

Enjoyed this brief read on my morning walk! Initially I was in suspense, but quickly put 2 and 2 together 🤔🤓! Well worth the low price of FREE!

Good story albeit a little predictable

This book is one of five stories in an anthology about heroes. I've been going through each of the stories fairly quickly and have enjoyed each of them. This one however is probably my least favorite so far. While I think it was supposed to be a psychological thriller, the format made it difficult for it to completely ensnare the reader. I think the shorter length did not give the author sufficient time to set the stage and build up the suspense necessary for this to be a successful thriller.

It felt more superficial and did not have the time to really build up the framework for this to make sense. It was kind of at the limit of my believability scale. Also, the character development felt rushed and I never really felt like I was rooting for the female protagonist. I wasn't rooting against her, I just didn't really feel any level of investment other than thinking, "Seriously?" when I realized what was happening.

I listened to this on audio and think that Brittany Pressley did a fine job. She was another first time author for me. All in all I have enjoyed this anthology.
