VENGEANCE (THE JOURNALS TRILOGY BOOK TWO) AUDIO BOOK by D.M. EARL – Review by Lizzie Chapman Gough

I actually enjoyed this one a lot more than I did the first. I found this book more emotionally in depth even though the subject material itself was still tough at times.The story was well thought out and I enjoyed the pacing of the story. It was interesting to get to know the secondary characters more in this story and I also found myself warming to Quinn, the main female protagonist too. It was interesting to go along her journey with her as she figured out how to get closure for what has happened to her in the past. I actually found the love story aspect of the story more likable in this next part of the trilogy and am looking forward to the final part.

VENGEANCE (THE JOURNALS TRILOGY BOOK TWO) AUDIO BOOK by D.M. EARL – Review by Jenique Bornman

Vengeance is so, so sweet.
This is the second book of The Journals Trilogy. And it definitely lived up to my expectations.

Nya Simpson does an AMAZING job with the narration .

Quinn is getting ready to meet up with her sisters and her twins. Stone has his team in place who are ready to finish this and keep Quinn and her family save. Quinn’s sister reveals a huge secret that she’s been keeping. Will this reveal why Raven stayed in contact with the man who destroyed their families lives? Will this tear the sisters apart or help them stick together?
This again is not for the faint hearted. But if you can stomach a bit of torturing the bad guys this is a must read.
I love that the book has no cliffhangers. But now its got me excited about the next book.
What does D.M. Earl have in store for us in the next installment!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While I was shocked and filled with sorrow over this story I struggled at times. Too much depth into Petrosky’s psyche..over and over. If you have read any of these books you will know he feels guilt. I got tired of his self flaggulation over everything. Maybe it’s a cops remorse I don’t know. With that being said I still enjoyed this look into the past. Those were my favorite books. When Petrosky was just a grumpy drunk who still had fire and Morrison just a kid. Now Petrosky seems to have just become barely living and swimming in self doubt and guilt. Hopefully after this book he will become a little lighter.

Overall this is a good one. Brought tears to my eyes and an ache to my heart. It kinda put closure on the past. I’m hoping his future is brighter.

VENGEANCE (THE JOURNALS TRILOGY BOOK TWO) AUDIO BOOK by D.M. EARL – Review by Mirela Ruiz

VENGEANCE (THE JOURNALS TRILOGY BOOK TWO) AUDIO BOOK by D.M. EARL was a great continuation of Quinn’s story. I did not think I could go through so many emotions. I felt like I was developing and growing with Quinn. I originally was angry, vengeful, and full of hate but being in her head helped me process through what happened to her. I did not want to stop and cannot wait for the next part.

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel going into the second book of the series but the author continued to move me beyond what I was prepared for. And the narration took the emotion to another level. Just an excellent overwhelming book that really moved me. Wow.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I Will Bury You by Brandy Nacole. This is one of my favorite books I’ve read this year. Its the story of a young woman who is slowly losing her grip on reality and she thinks someone is after her. People are being murdered left and right around her and she just knows that she is next. She feels like if she doesn’t fight for her life then she will be snuffed out and quickly. This book will keep you turning the pages faster than lightening. This book is a fast paced psychological thriller that will keep you turning the pages late into the night with the light on! This is a very sad book about mental illness that will shine a light on it.

Key West Dead (Jake Wolfe Book 6) by Mark Nolan – Review by Gail Guerrero

Four Star

This was not a bad read. Not my favorite from this author. It definitely had potential it just lacked the same thrill his other works gave. The plot was interesting. Someone is targeting yachts and sailboats while demanding money from the government. With the help of his dog Cody will they be able to stop this before more people are harmed, killed and homeless? I really wanted to like it but it was just missing something. I do like Jake he’s a very entertaining character. He has such an amazing sense of justice. Overall the book wasn’t terrible and worth a read. The author has an amazing writing skill.

Savage: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 10) by Meghan O’Flynn. I simply cannot get enough of this series and this author in general. Each book is better than the last and sometimes that can get difficult but this author does it well every time. Once again I found myself so wrapped up in this story that the outside world meant nothing to me for a while and i loved every minute of it. The characters bring this story to life with ease, they are complex and relatable. The storyline hooked me from page one and each page had me sinking in more and more. I loved this book. Five stars all the way and highly recommended! Do yourself a favor and get all these books!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I will never ever get enough of this series from Meghan O’Flynn. I picked up that first book in the Ash Park Series way back a few years ago and I have personally reread all of them a time or two since. This newest addition, Savage, will be no different and I am sure will find myself picking it back up soon. O’Flynn does a wonderful job of writing these books so realistically you feel as if you are really right there in the gore and danger along with the detectives. We see our old friend again, Detective Petrosky, and boy he did not disappoint this time around either. I loved these books so much and I could never say enough good things about them, but I will not divulge any of the details because these are books that have to be read and discovered page by page by each person. They will keep you up at night finding out what is going to happen and then haunt your dreams as you try to actually sleep. This is one series you do not want to miss out on, and Savage is one of my favorites of the whole thing so don’t wait, one-click today!

This is a young adult suspense story that I enjoyed from beginning to end. This author is new to me and I look forward to seeing what is next from her. This is a well written story that the author used details that made the story realistic. Her characters pull you into the story from the beginning and kept me turning pages. They are relatable and truly made the story for me as they brought it to life. This is a story about a young woman who is slowly losing her sanity and not only that she doesn’t seem to know who she is. As the killings become more, it turns into more of survival for her. What happens next you don’t want to miss. The twists and turns had me guessing to the end. I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.

This is the 6th book in the series and I still love reading about Jake and his dog! The stories are exciting and I really love this authors imagination. I am always engaged from beginning to end. The authors descriptive detail in this story was excellent and I really did feel like I was right there with the characters during parts of the story. I love that the author keeps the suspense going throughout the book, I always feel like I am solving the crimes right along with Jake!
I would definitely recommend this story to other readers and the series.

Savage: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 10) by Meghan O’Flynn is my favourite book of this series and that is saying something.

Petrosky is messed up but even for him his world is shaken to its core.

This psychological thriller is dark and gut-wrenching. It leaves you thinking about it long after you have finished it. I am surprised I didn’t have a heart attack as we watched Petrosky turn himself inside out for those he loves. I swear I lost 5 kilos’ just reading this book and my emotions were on high alert jumping at each sound.

VENGEANCE (THE JOURNALS TRILOGY BOOK TWO) AUDIO BOOK by D.M. EARL – Review by Kerry Baker

Vengeance Audio Book by D.M. Earl is the second book in the Journals Trilogy. This is a series that does need to be read/listened  to in order as it is a continuation of the story. I was really looking forward to getting back into this story, I just had to know how it was going to turn out. I was intrigued to find out if Quinn would be able to go through with any of her ideas. I loved that we got to know all the crew a bit more, they added a little extra something to the story. At times I did find it just a little confusing when it switched POV’s suddenly however the narrator did a great job of portraying the change. I listened to this whole book in what felt like no time at all and, with the way it ended, I am very intrigued as to what is going to come next!

By Brandy Nacole

This is a good psychological Thriller. I had a hard time putting it down. There are some twists and turns, just when I thought I knew what was going on I found out I had it wrong. The further I got into the story more of the pieces came together. The author did an exceptional job pulling me into this story and making it quite the experience. This book is full of suspense, deception, sadness, family, great characters and more. This is the first book I have read by this author and I will definitely be reading more. This is definitely a must read that I recommend.

This story brings back the mystery I love and a woman with walls stronger than the China wall.

I was also waiting for Tyler’s story after the first two books. He has been a character I am drawn to. Love reading his story and him fighting to protect the women he loves and making her bring down that wall and trust him.

Very cute story, 10 out of 10 if I could.

Meghan O’Flynn is an amazing author. This is the tenth book in the Ash Park Series and they just keep getting better. I highly recommend reading this series from the start. The story is full of mystery, a psychological thriller, and some action. The characters are intriguing. I have loved Petrosky from the moment I first read his stories. He is no-nonsense, determined, and has a strong keen mind. The story moves quickly but if you are not careful you may miss some vital information. I highly recommend this book and this series.

This is the second audio I have listened to in this series.  I highly suggest listening to the first book to help you enjoy this series.  I was pulled into the story by this narrator’s voice and enjoyed being engaged to the end.  It was easy to listen to and made me want to keep listening.  The voice is easy and fun and truly adds to the story.  This is a story full of action and revenge.  What happens next with this MC you don’t want to miss.  She only has a small amount of time to get her revenge, will fate allow her vengeance?  I highly recommend this audio, I loved it and so will you.

I love picking up a new book in this series as I always know I am going to get a fast paced, action packed adventure and this book is no exception. This was such a turbulent journey – I felt like the author really played with your emotions and pulled you in every direction possible. I honestly could not have guessed at how this was going to turn out and my heart was in throat for most of it. I always think that this series just can’t get any better and then I read the next one. This is a fantastic series and one that I cannot recommend highly enough!

Five Stars

 

Vengeance is the second book in The Journals Trilogy by D.M. Earl. This series needs to be read/ listened to in order. You will be lost if you haven’t read/listened to  Anguish first.  It was a roller coaster of a ride from the very beginning and it never stopped. This book starts where the first book leaves off. Quinn is an amazingly strong woman who has been through unthinkable things. Stone and his crew have come to help settle the score. There are some explicit scenes in this book that could be triggers.  I listened to this book in one sitting because I just had to know how it ends. I’m now very intrigued to see what happens in book three. Can’t wait!!

 

This book was narrated by Nya Simpson, the same narrator as Anguish. Her voice was mellow and easy to listen to. She really brought the characters to life. I look forward to listening to many more books by her.

Savage: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 10)
GAH!!! I am loving this series so much- even when Ms. O’Flynn has me on the edge of my seat, with my pulse pounding in my ears, completely gripped by the story. This is the tenth book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn and as such, I really recommend reading the other books in the series, before starting on this one, as there is so much backstory, background information, and other important details that really help to build the intensity and a much bigger picture.
Detective Edward Petrosky has been through so much, but he’s not about to get a break anytime soon and is thrown into a serial killer investigation that will test him at every turn. It’s dark, tense, gripping, raw and gritty- and I loved every minute!
I hope Det. Petrosky has a few more stories in him yet!
Can’t wait to see what comes next!

Thank you, Meghan O’Flynn!

Have you ever had that relationship that didn’t quite fit into your life when you thought it should? Have you ever had that relationship that you knew was bad for you but kept going back until the final straw broke?

Jaxon Hale is a former Navy SEAL with an honorable discharge after an injury on active duty. Jaxon is filling in for Captain Kane of the Honolulu Police to find a path that he can live with after the military. Kayla Kane returns to Honolulu after an encounter with her live-in boyfriend, Roy. Jaxon and Kayla share a past, but secrets have marred that past since Jaxon was a senior and Kayla was a freshman. After all this time, Jaxon and Kayla’s paths collide again. Trying to keep their families safe from hidden forces and working through the pain they both share, will Jaxon and Kayla finally find a place in their hearts for each other?

I truly loved this book. It’s full of passion, suspense, and real-life issues. Family plays a major part in the lives of both characters. Rebuilding after drastic life changes and finding a place to call home is something that I connected with, and other readers should too.

Most readers don’t like to start a series in the middle, but this book is a true stand-alone. It mentions characters from the first book but can definitely be read without reading the previous book.

This is thrilling and edge of your seat reading. It’s a whodunit you have no way of figuring out. I’d recommend reading this series from the beginning. In Savage, we find Petrosky at the heart of an investigation that will shake up his world even more than it already is. The past resurfaces and spreads its tentacles around Petrosky and his entourage, and slides him even lower in his descent into hell. He must face his demons and stop the monster who wants to destroy him by attacking the beings he deeply loves. This novel kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading.
