My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give The Ash Park Series Box Set (Books 1-3): Famished, Conviction, and Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn, 4 stars.

This set introduces us to a new dark Crime Suspense series. While they are all about Ash Park and involve the police department, each one has different main characters. This makes it interesting because we learn more about each one of these people. Some of them seem to be one thing, but there is so much more to them. It reminds you not to judge a book by the cover. The people are well done too. Each one is struggling with demons of the past, but they are all unique in their own way.

Then there are the stories themselves. Again, they revolve around the same community, and involve murders, but the motives and way of killing are different in each book. They are very dark and psychological, but interesting too. I wasn’t quite sure what was going on until the end. Some of them are a bit graphic and involve things that may be hard to stomach, so if you don’t like your criminal suspense to have a horror edge, this series may not be for you. However, if this is your style of reading, I highly recommend reading this series.

This box set includes the first 3 books in the wonderfully dark and twisted Ash Park series and what a collection of books it is! I really enjoyed all three of the books in this set; they were all exciting, dark and gripping reads! I am certainly looking forward to the next books to come!
I loved Meghan O’Flynn’s writing style; she had me on the edge of my seat on more than one occasion!
The three books in this box set are Famished, Conviction and Repressed.

Famished

This was such an intriguing read, a little out of my usual comfort zone but I found myself captivated about what was going on and trying to guess what was going to happen. I really have to applaud the author for her eerie writing, the hairs stood up on my arms a few times whilst I was reading. Not being my usual kind of read mean that I hadn’t quite guessed the ending but I don’t think I would have anyway – the ending was brilliant and totally unexpected. The author did a great job of keeping everything hidden until the right time. It did take me a little bit of time to get used to who was speaking during the story as it is written from different ones however it is well worth staying with it.

Conviction
The story was well written and full of excitement and action. I love that the storyline is both complex but easy to follow and the characters are compelling and captivating. I liked Shannon I thought she was a very strong female lead.

Repressed
Wow, what a read! I think I am still trying to process most of the book – I’m definitely glad I read it in the day!! It was dark, gritty and whilst I don’t condone the things that happen in the story it is after all a story, and one that was very well written. The book honestly left me on the edge of my seat on more than one occasion and I did have to put it down a few times to gather my thoughts! The characters were complex, Morrison and Petrosky worked well together.
I thought that the story was well paced and it was extremely well written. It’s definitely not for the faint-hearted but the author has done an amazing job with telling such a twisted story that absolutely captivated me from beginning to end. The action never stops and I couldn’t turn the pages quick enough so I could see what was going to happen.

A fantastic box set and one that I highly recommend!

The Ash Park Series Box Set (Books 1-3): Famished, Conviction, and Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn is a thrilling series. These books were so addicting that I couldn’t put it down until I knew what was happening next. They are dark stories that bring you mystery, suspense and danger throughout the whole series and they aren’t for the faint of heart. I was on a roller coaster ride with my emotions reading each book. In each book you meet characters and story lines that are written amazing, you get lost in the pages. These books can be read as standalones, but I recommend reading them in order as some of the characters are in each of the books.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Istanbul Conspiracy (Code Raven Book 7) by Lynda Filler is a series that centres around the Raven Group, a special ops and covert team. This group and other covert associates help to keep the world a safer place and no one’s the wiser. This time the team embark on a mission to aid one of them when blood is spilled at was is supposed to be one’s happiest times. This story is a little slower paced than all the running around and bullets flying as in the other books but in no way detracts from the story.

Luke and Samaar (Luci) have to abandon their own happiness due to a security breach but whilst they are whisked off to safety Luke learns of a terrible and bloody tragedy and decides to put his own needs aside to offer whatever help is needed for a friend in need. Himanish is once again doing what he does best, keeping tabs on everything, and coming to the aid of his friends to help them sort through all the information they can find and hopefully piece it all together. Are they dealing with a random act of terror, or was it a targeted assassination of the Turkish political elite?

I really enjoy this series and I look forward to the next adventure with these guys and gals.

This is a suspenseful rollercoaster of so many emotions. There is a romance in the story, but the other side of the story is so much more.

Shannon is a district attorney, working for her ex husband. When she wrongfully convicts the wrong woman. Things just feel wrong. Her husband told her to drop it. What’s done is done. Being the woman Shannon is, she needs to make things right. But with everything, doing what’s right has its consequences. This made be the fight of her life. I never expected the outcome!

Meghan O’Flynn had me on the edge of my seat on page one. Her story is a non stop ride of epic proportions. I have never cried so hard, while reading a book. This one just kept bring the intrigue. I could not put it down. Okay I put it down at 3:30 in the morning. Then I sat and pondered over what I had just read. Cried a little more, then fist pumped at Shannons bravery and strength. Such a great story. If you like suspenseful stories this one’s for you. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

5 +++ Stars

Absolutely no doubt about it this is on my list of favorite series ever…Detective Petrosky is one of my favorite characters ever as well and I can say that after reading this whole series so far..I can also say that Ash Park is probably my least favorite book town, definitely would not want to live there.

I read these totally out of order which you can do, but I have to say I can not wait to take a weekend and sit and read them all over back to back and in the correct order.

This author closely rivals some authors out there that everyone has heard of and in some ways there is no comparison, she is a master of this genre, which is one of my favorites.

It took me a bit to figure out Famished, I have to say that reading these out of order kind of helped reading the first one, but from there on Holy Mackerel! Not going to say these books were always easy to read because they weren’t, had to skip parts, and put the book down here and there and walk away, which means the author has done her job in my opinion.

I loved the first 3 books in this set, my favorite book actually comes later on in the series and I have to say if you in any way like this genre you will love these books!

Can’t wait for more!!!

Five Stars

Famished: An Ash Park Novel is the first book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. This is my first book by this author and I’m really glad I found her. This is a great first book in the series, very intriguing and hooked me on the very first page. This psychological thriller had some twists and turns I didn’t see coming. The story is gritty and gruesome as the author got into the mind of the serial killer. This novel is not for the faint of heart and if you have a weak stomach this may not be the book for you, but if you like to get into the mind of a sadistic killer this is the perfect book for you.

Conviction it the second book in the Ash Park series by Meghan O’Flynn. This series can be read as a standalone, but there are recurring characters from Ms O’Flynns first book. The series has gotten off to a wonderful start and I can’t wait to read what is coming next in this series. This book drew me in from the very first page,it was full of mystery and suspense. I love a story where I really don’t know who the killer is until the very end, and this book provided that. Ms. O’Flynn weaves tales of lies and deception. Shannon Taylor is a fascinating character, she is a District Attorney who is all about getting convictions even if the people she is putting away are innocent. She takes care of her family and it’s stress on herself to succeed. When the detectives from the first book come to talk to her and convince her she may have made a mistake she feels remorse, but now someone is leaving her threats. Will she be able to find out the truth of the situation before it is too late?

Repressed is the third book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. This series keeps getting better and better. This book is full of twists and turns that will leave you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. This book and the series is not for the faint of heart, some of the scenes are quite gory. The mind bending story will leave you with a book hangover for days to come. I highly recommend this chilling psychological thriller and can’t wait for the next book in the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Ash Park Series Box Set (Books 1-3): Famished, Conviction, and Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn is a great read. This set includes the first three books in the series. Famished by Meghan O’Flynn is the first book in the new Ash Park series. This book is not for the faint of heart. I had not read a serial killer book in awhile and this one crept under my skin and into my mind. The story is about Hannah Montgomery who has recently moved to the Ash Park neighborhood. She feels safe until things start to change. Her past starts to haunt her and terrify the entire neighborhood. This story has some twists and turns, graphic detail of the killings, and some good characters. The POV changes between characters and at times became a bit convoluted. At times I feel like this helped to add to the suspense and horror. Overall this was a good read and I will be looking for the next book in the series.
Conviction by Meghan O’Flynn is the second book in the Ash Park series. This focuses on District Attorney Shannon Taylor who is strong in her convictions. This book is hard to put down and this says a lot because many do not keep me on the edge of my seat. I was involved in all the twists and turns. The characters are well written and developed. I had read the first book and was taken in by the writing. This second book did not disappoint. I look forward to reading further in the series.
Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn is the third book in the Ash Park Series. This story focuses on Curtis Morrison and him having to confront his past. He has a wonderful life as a police officer with a wife and child. Everything looks great for him until his past comes back to haunt him. He has to deal with these repressed memories or his wife and child might be lost to him forever at the hands of a sadistic person.
This is best read in order but can be read separately. The characters are so well developed from book to book and the stories are intertwined wonderfully. This is gory and scary at times and not for the weak of heart. I had to pause at moments to get away from the intensity but could not stay away for long. If you like suspense, mystery, and twists this is for you.

The Ash Park Series Boxed Set by Meghan O’Flynn is full of mystery, thriller, and suspense all rolled up into one. O’Flynn does an amazing job of setting up the scene in which her characters are apart of the story. The characters are complex-complicated and are easy to form a bond. I loved how I felt I was on the character’s side going through everything that they did. I did read this book at night and it gave me the chills and the little hair on my neck. I was on the edge of my seat at times and the roller coaster ride of emotions was well worth it. I did stagger the books to read them separately and but I could not wait to read the next book. This box set is definitely on the reading list.

Tanuja Ramachandran: Hunter Seeker by Kumar Sivasubramanian was an action packed and unique story. I really liked how interesting the characters were and enjoyed the bit of humor mixed into this story. I enjoyed the author’s creativity and writing style. The main character Tanuja was different than your typical female heroine. It cracked me up how she just fell asleep with the beginning action packed situation at the start of the book. She had excellent yet tragic backstory that helped shaped her character. She was fun to follow. I enjoyed the detail of this novel as well. Overall it was a fun read that I enjoyed. I definitely recommend this book.

I love a good mystery story and while we get that with this book, for me personally, I finished this book feeling confused more than anything.
I was drawn right into this book and really wanted to know more of our female lead and while we learned her story along the way, I couldn’t really connect with her like I wanted as we go into so many different characters thoughts and actions, it took away from that, for me.
I really cant wait to read the rest of this series as I want to know what happens next and maybe get some answers for this book too.

I wasn’t a huge fan of book 1 but this book took me on a ride I didn’t want to finish.

This is the third book in this series, and I highly reccomend starting from the beginning as its a continuation of characters.
This book followed Detective Morrison, whom I wanted to know more about. He just always seemed to know things, or have many friendly talks going with many people and got into so easily.
This is yet another dark, twisted, great read from this series and each one leaves me wanting more! Cant wait to read the next one

Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore – Review by Elizabeth Clark

Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore is a book full of mystery, suspense and interesting characters. This book is well written and the amount of detail will make you think you are actually inside the book.

Somebody in the Neighborhood is about a young woman Dawn who moves to Florida into her recently deceased Aunt’s house. Dawn’s Aunt Amy is the 2nd murder victim in the small Florida community. With the killer still unknown Dawn finds suspicious characters all around her. While reading this book I thought I knew who the killer was until the next chapter and I would think it was someone else. This author did a fantastic job writing this book. I liked her characters and found myself turning pages as fast as possible so I could figure out who the killer was.

This book is more than just a murder mystery it is also a story about a young woman growing into her own. Watching Dawn grow throughout the book was beautiful and inspiring. Dawn becomes an independent, strong woman ready to take on the world. I enjoyed reading this book and reading Dawn’s story.

And you will never guess who the killer is..

These books start off this wonderfully dark and twisted series. Each one will make you think and remember it long after you put down the book. The stories are tragic and the characters twisty. If you don’t like graphic gruesome depiction then pass this one by. But if you are looking for a late night read that spurs your grey matter….than snag this baby.

Morrison is my favorite character in the series. Yeah most is written about Petrosky but Morrison…he was a walking, talking billboard of how someone can change their life. You will meet him in these books as well as others…but remember he is the best!

Luke and Samaar of the Raven Group have their own wedding that gets called off because of a breach in security. They come to the aid of DJ Turk to find out the reason for what happened on the yacht. This puts the Raven Group hard at work. What they find is a conspiracy that must be prevented. Will Luke, Samaar, and the Raven Group be able to find those who have put their plans into motion and stop them in time? Read this book to find out. WoW! This is an awesome book that I just couldn’t put down. There are twists that I did not see coming and I had to remind myself to breathe. I have always loved the character of Luke and Samaar and I could only root for them and the complete Raven Group to succeed. The author does a wonderful job of making you feel like you are right there with the characters. This is a book you don’t want to miss out on. I highly recommend it.

Tanuja Ramachandran: Hunter-Seeker by Kumar Sivasubramanian is a fast paced and complex book. This is not the type of book to read casually, I feel that it is one you have to really pay attention to in order to fully understand what is happening.
I really didn’t know what to expect going in to this book: it was a new author to me and the description really didn’t seem to give anything away. I can definitely say I enjoyed it overall. It was fast paced and full of action.
There were times when I found it hard to keep up with, and a little confusing, although these were outweighed by the enjoyment.
A good book but not one to take lightly I would definitely say it is worth trying.

The Ash Park Series Box Set (Books 1-3): Famished, Conviction, and RepressedThe Ash Park Series Box Set (Books 1-3): Famished, Conviction, and Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Meghan O’Flynn was a new to me author when I first read Famished, so I wasn’t sure what to expect from this story. What a surprise! While this story is gruesome to read it is quite the adventure with surprises at every turn. Well worth the read. This story is written in every character’s point of view which certainly keeps the mystery going of who the killer might be! There seems to be an awful lot of crazy in these characters heads.

Conviction has a little of everything, the murdering psychos, a little romance, and all the feelings that go with them. This author really keeps me entertained with the story line, as I really never know who the murderer is or what is going to happen next.

O.M.G. Repressed is INTENSE. Frightening, scary, gruesome, and intense. I think I was holding my breath through the last half of the book. I know my heart was on edge! I think this one is my favorite of this series so far! O’Flynn is a sick and twisted kind of author! Which is becoming my favorite kind of author!

This box set is a great way to start this series, they have to be read in order so why not buy in bulk! You won’t be sorry when ready about Ash Park, especially if you love mysteries, adventures and the unknown!

It’s fast paced filled with action with characters that capture readers attention. I really like strong characters and Tanuja definitely brings all the strength she can to this story. It’s a well written and thought out storyline. I’d definitely recommend this book. And I’ll be looking into more from this author. Four stars and highly recommended.

Tanuja Ramachandran: Hunter Seeker by Kumar Sivasubramanian – Review by Jenni Bishop

Tanuja Ramachandran: Hunter-SeekerTanuja Ramachandran: Hunter-Seeker by Kumar Sivasubramanian
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Tanuja Ramachandran Hunter-Seeker by Kumar Sivasubramanian is the strangest bizarre and absolutely crazy story I have ever read. It is an original tale of a gun blazing sari wearing narcoleptic woman who has lost it all and is out for revenge. It is fast paced, and action packed and did have me laughing. The whole story was ridiculously set around covert operations and violence, revenge and chaos, adventure and let’s not forget the superhuman roller derby team. It was like a bad comic book with lots of players/characters and I most certainly got lost with their names and at times the story in general because there is a lot going on.

If you like something a little crazy and mad, comic and anime with a little bit of revenge thrown in then this is for you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore is a murder mystery. Dawn Andersen decides to move from her home in Ohio to Florida to start anew in the home of her recently murdered aunt. Is her aunt’s murder a random murder or someone who was someone closer to her? This is a good read that kept me reading from beginning to end. I enjoyed the characters and the story. It reminded me of a good whodunit. The characters get narrowed down as Dawn starts to narrow down if they could have murdered her aunt. A good fast read for anyone who enjoys a murder mystery.

5-Stars

Somebody in the Neighborhood by Judy Moore was an excellent suspense and mystery read. I absolutely loved this book and the main character Dawn. She was developed well and realistic. I loved the detail the author put into this novel. I felt that it was easy to picture each scene as I read along. I was easily swept away in this novel. It had an easy flow and excellent climax. I had a difficult time putting this book down. I highly recommend it!

The Ash Park Series Boxed Set (Books 1-3) by Meghan O’Flynn – Review by Jana Teppih

The Ash Park Series Box Set (Books 1-3): Famished, Conviction, and RepressedThe Ash Park Series Box Set (Books 1-3): Famished, Conviction, and Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Ash Park Series Box Set by Meghan O’Flynn contains the first three books of the series – Famished, Conviction, and Repressed! Be forewarned that there are MORE in the series so plan extra time beyond the box set to get the whole impact!
FAMISHED is the opening to the series that introduces us to Detective Petrosky who will be our lead throughout the series. The opening to the series was a bit underwhelming, at least that is how I felt as I had read the fourth book … I know though that it will get more intense with each book as the writer gets more and more into the characters, giving them more dimension … it is a great start to a twisted labyrinth of violence where everyone has too many skeletons in their closets. The writer gives us a cat and mouse serial killer universe that leaves you doubting yourself and guessing at who it is.
I loved that the story was told from multiple characters’ point of view as it added dimension and layers. I have to warn you that it is very graphic so it is not for faint at heart!
CONVICTION is the second book in series that takes place in the run down area of Detroit. You can see how the writer has gotten deeper into the Ash Park world, the story is complex and the characters have layers, you learn more about them and it makes you understand where they come from and why they act the way they do. All of them are like us – dark and light – and it is up to them how they choose.
We have Petrosky and Morrison with Shannon Taylor from the prosecutor’s office and all of them have their doubts regarding the ‘guilty’ verdict that the young woman Ashley Johnson received. And the doubts grow stronger when Shannon gest stalked and her family gets harassed … and there is a galore of suspects … take your pick! At the same time, the story is much more than just trying to find out who the killer is …
REPRESSED is the third story in the series and I think she has done it now … I have nothing to say but “she has arrived”, roll out the carpet!
Repressed is THE story of Detective Curtis Morrison who we met in the first book and learnt more about in the second book … but still (zen) waters run deep … his checkered past seems to be catching up to him – his wife (who we also met in the previous books, the second book was her book) and baby daughter go missing and there is this sadistic monster that is ruling this nightmare that he has initiated to make Morrison to pay for the sins from twenty years ago…
The story is dark, disturbing … it is very graphic, the violence, it leaves you shuddering… the way the writer describes addition, it blows your mind … the story is fast paced and you will get a mystery with its beginning, middle and the end!
