My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars

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.

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.

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!!!

Recall
An Ash Park Novel
Volume 6
By Meghan O’Flynn
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
This is a full length novel you won’t want to miss. Not for those under 18 due to violence. This is a no spoiler review!

Ash Park holds secrets nobody wants to hear or live through. Detective Petrosky daughter was murdered many years before, and her murder is still a mystery. In the last 5 years Detective Petrosky has worked these murder cases. Each seemed to be linked to one serial killer. Each murder has many avenues to be traveled. That is what reading this thriller interesting. You should really start with the first book in the series. It will help with what happened in this book. If you have then just know it’s more intense than the last.

This the 6th book in this series, has once again made my heart race. This story keeps you locked in, until you read the last page. Meghan O’Flynn has written this fast rollercoaster of a thriller. She has kept some characters and added a few new ones. All the same this is a fantastic read. It will give you many feels throughout this story. The strongest being this killer must be stopped! Way to keep me on the edge of my seat Meghan O’Flynn! I can’t wait to read the next book to this series

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Recall: An Ash Park Novel is the 6th in the series by Meghan O’Flynn, but the first one I read. It can be enjoyed as a stand alone novel, but has references to things that happened in the past. The book is written in a way that you can feel the importance, without knowing the details that would come from reading the previous books. The past of Detective Petrosky weighs on his current state, but again, I didn’t know the details and did just fine. The characters personalities are great, and play off each other well. This story draws a wobbling line between doing what is right and doing what is just. A young man was murdered, right in front of his girl friend. To create more outrage, he is the son of a councilman and the couple was interracial. There are no witnesses, and the detectives have no leads. They struggle to determine if it was a random attack, serial killer, or hate crime. I love the way the story unfolded, as it seemed to come out of no where. It didn’t fully click until the end of the book, and then once they knew who the killer might be, they had to find him. Total thrill and I didn’t want to put it down. I want to go back and read the others now, because I am sure they are just as gripping.

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

Recall is the sixth book in the Ash Park series. I was able to pick it up and keep up with the story without having to read the previous ones.

The author does a great job making the story come alive. It feels like you are right there with the characters. The story is dark. You are not going to get a light, fluffy mystery here. As you read, you are taken on a thrill ride of adventure, with twists and turns that make the book impossible to put down.
The characters are well-written. I particularly like Petrosky’s partner. She’s snarky and deals with his gruff exterior expertly.

I can’t say too much more without jeopardizing the reading experience for everyone. Just know that you won’t be disappointed when you go on this reading adventure.

This book will take you on a wild ride as Detective Petrosky and his new partner work together to catch a killer. As with the rest of the series, this is a gritty in your face, unable to put down Masterpiece. This one left me with a book hangover for a couple days. I kept thinking back how it really had me stumped while I was reading. This is an excellent series and I can’t wait to find out what Ms. O’Flynn has in store for us next.

5 +++++++ Stars

This is absolutely one of my favorite series ever! I’ve read them all out of order and wish I could go back and start from scratch the 1st time all over again. Take my advice and read them all one right after the other…I was able to piece everything together and that’s mainly because each one can be read as a standalone I guess but trust me and read them all, I am so glad I got to start this one finally in order, and before I go any further let me just say how flipping excited I am to know there is yet more Petrosky to come.

This one started out in perfect Petrosky style sitting in a cafe and his inner dialogue at full force. I about fell out of my chair when I found out he was sitting there with his ex wife! I have become so completely invested in these characters lives that I feel like I personally know them, that’s kind of scary lol

This one had me all messed up, should I really be conflicted about what is going on in this book? No but I was and everything about this story had me on the edge of my seat. I’m not going to even try to sum it all up, she does that perfectly in her synopsis. Just know that I can not recommend this book, as well as this whole series enough. I’ve read other books outside of this series by this author and it’s pretty safe to say she is one of my favorites.

Absolutely Loved It!!

Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6) by Meghan O’Flynn was an excellent crime /thriller novel. It can be read as a standalone book but does mention things from the previous books. I loved the parts where Petrosky would reminisce about things that happened in the past. Some were good and some were bad. Having read the other books I felt the emotions he was feeling as he recalled them. Following him as he solved this case with his partner Jackson was incredible. There were ups, downs, and several crazy individuals. It never ceases to amaze me how the author creates these characters with such creative traits. I absolutely loved this novel and I highly recommend it.

I give Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6) by Meghan O’Flynn, 4 stars.

This is a gripping cop suspense book where the police are trying to catch a killer before he kills again. It is quite graphic and dark, so if you do not like extreme detail about gory murders or delve into the darker side of things, this book may not be for you. But if you are okay with that, I definitely recommend this book. The detective has seen much and been through much in his long career. This makes him all the more interesting. I really like how the main character is older and seasoned, not new and fresh like too many main characters in books are. Personally I also enjoy his dark sense of humor. At the same time, so see just how big his heart is. And his partner compliments him so well.

The story itself is so interesting. This is the first book I have read in the series, so I am aware that I am missing out on some things, but the author does do a good of mentioning the things that have happened in the past. I cannot wait to go back to catch up. The story of them chasing after the bad guy with no idea who it could be is not a new one. But the author does this so well, it feels like something completely new to me. I could not put it down and I had no idea who the killer was until the end.

If you enjoy thriller suspense books where the detectives have to put the clues together to catch the killer, this book is for you.

I can’t even find the right words to discuss this book with the enthusiasm that it deserves, and that is saying a lot because well I love my words and I love talking lol. In all seriousness though, this book is like the icing on the cake of the Ash Park Novels. I have loved and devoured each one previous to this book at least twice now, and I foresee another reread in my near future. These books are the best of the best when it comes to thrills, suspense, intrigue, and self-taught lessons often learned the hard way. As such a fan I did some staling of Meghan O’Flynn’s other work and history and turns out she is a therapist of some kind, and I can only imagine the things she spins in her mind on the daily. I adore the way these books seem so real and vivid that you often expect to turn on the news and hear about the murders taking place in real time. Being a true crime junkie makes these books the best to feed my addiction.

Recall is the sixth book in the series, and while you could read them as stand alone novels I would highly recommend that you read the others to follow along some of our character favorites like Detective Petroski and more. I won’t give much more than what is divulged in the blurbs given by the author so I’ll just skip that part and tell you to go grab these novels. Take my word for it and carve out some time because if you are anything like me you will soon become addicted and need the whole story. I sincerely hope that someday we will get more from the ever talented Meghan O’Flynn and her Ash Park series. For now I will settle with a long, dark, and twisty reread!

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.

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.

Recall: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 6) by Meghan O’Flynn. I love this series its about Detective Petrosky whose daughter was brutally murdered but things are finally looking up for him. He and his ex are on speaking terms, his new partner is good but the criminal world is still alive and well. When a councilman’s son is murdered the city turns into mass choas and even though there is no forensic evidence it looks like a professional hit. After searching for the killer and realizing they had killed at least 2 other people are they dealing with a serial killer? Petrosky and his partner are working amazing together and they are hoping to find this killer before even more people end up dead. I have loved reading about Petrosky, he has become one of my most favorite characters I’ve ever read. You can read this book as a standalone but it will be even better if you read all the previous books! These books can be dark and deal with sensitive topics but they are sooo good!

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.

This is the second book in this series, and what a book!
I wasn’t a huge fan of book 1 but this book took me on a ride I didn’t want to finish.

The twists and turns in this story were surprising and i didn’t see them coming.
This is a must read!

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

I was once again on the edge of my seat. I was not let down with this the 6th book in this series. The author has such a unique way of drawing out the drama adding intrigue. I felt as though I was in the action as it happened.The characters just seemed to jump right off of the page bringing the action to the reader.

Jumping back into Petrosky’s life is once again a journey into the macabre. I really enjoyed this change of pace and genre. The way that his life has changed for the better and his struggles with the changes show how personified his character is. I really could sense the emotions rolling as he was investigating the case. I was glued to the pages to find out what would happen next. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

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!

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!

Recall was a great 5 star read and book six in the Ash Park series.
I was excited to get reading this book and I was pulled in right from the beginning.

Petrosky is investigating the death of a councilman’s son. We also meet his new partner, Jackson, who is perfect for him. This seems to be the most challenging case yet for him.

Will he solve the mystery before it’s too late?

My emotions were all over the place. We get suspense, mystery and so much more.
These can be read as stand alones but I highly suggest reading from the beginning. It will help you connect better with the characters. Petrosky is great, even after all that he has been through he still has a big heart. All of the characters were great. Meghan has once again brought me into her world with her great writing and I couldn’t put it down until I was done. 1-click and get started today on this great read.

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!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Recall: An Ash Park Novel by Meghan O’Flynn is the sixth book in the Ash Park series. This story can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading the preceding books. Detective Petrosky is finally feeling in a good place but of course things don’t always stay the same. After a councilman’s son is murdered things start to get out of control.
This story is dark and gritty but there are moments of humor to break the tension. This is so well written and kept me on the edge of my seat. I always reading books in this series despite the serious topics that are brought up. I look forward to reading more from Meghan O’Flynn in the future.

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

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

I have to start by saying this is my absolute favorite thriller series right now and for a long time. I have completely fallen in love with the dark and twisty world of Ash Park and the detectives that work so hard to make it safer for the inhabitants while struggling with their own deep dark demons. These books will knock your socks off and are absolute must haves. Box sets make my day for so many reasons, one being easy gifting so I can spread the goodies around, and definitely something I have already done with this. I can’t wait to see if we will get more Ash Park books in the future or whatever twisted story Meghan O’Flynn cooks us up! Below is a review for each individual books.

FAMISHED ~ Book #1:
I will admit I was hesitant going into reading this novel. I ADORE thriller novels. Love the gore and scares, and by all means give me all the twisted intrigue, mystery, with a twisty plot. I want to believe this could be real so I can be scared. See, we live in a pretty scary world already. One, where just watching the daily news is enough to make me want to put three locks on my door and cameras in my home with a fully loaded gun in my nightstand. So what really confused me was when I began to really get into this novel, was all those one star reviews that had me so hesitant to pick up a thriller novel from an author that I adore. I have several points I need to make because it has been really weighing on my mind here. First, Meghan O’Flynn is a clinical therapist and a mother. Can you imagine the horrors she hears and sees on a daily basis while having to go home and live a “normal” life and be a nurturing mother? I struggle as a mother with the guilt of knowing I brought a child into this world that is slowly, each day, becoming more and more depraved to a point where I fear to go to even the grocery store. She gets a backstage pass to this stuff. So yeah it isn’t so shocking to envision the phrase so often used to describe such shocking writing…

“Thomas grinned like a fifteen year old girl with a cock in her ass.”

Umm… you apparently don’t read, watch TV, or go to the mall, etc. I have heard phrases like this be slung around, all too much, sadly in one form or another. This is supposed to be from a depraved person and depicts a state of mind. It is crucial character development.

Second, gore and sex is definitely a major role is this book. Now I know this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It isn’t a necessary aspect for a thriller book, but for this storyline it was necessary to have the details in order to fulfill the plot. Given that nugget of information you can decide whether you’d like to give it a try or not, but don’t rule it out completely just because it is a part of the story until you consider that. It is not done in distaste or overwritten and everything has its place. I can think of many great horror movies that were amazing because they managed to be detailed with gore and violence to a realistic point. It made the movie realistic and feel as if it happened not was a written script. Those are the ones that get you. Famished does this, and that is a difficult feat!

With that said and out of the way, and if you have decided to keep going you are in for one hell of a thrilling ride. I picked this up about 8:45 at night, it was raining (again) and I just needed something to help me unwind to get to sleep. I had no idea that I would be reading well into the night and devouring this book in one sitting. In fact I am actually typing this review very sleepily at 4 am because I awoke with a start from a disturbing dream (those darn scary bedtime stories) and had to do something to distract myself for a bit. This book is still very much on my mind and I am sure it will be for quite some time. Luckily, Conviction, the second book is available now so I am off to dive right into it after this. I think I am going to skip out on those reviews this time! Happy reading, and scary dreams! Thank you so much Meghan O’Flynn for the bloody amazing thriller!
CONVICTION ~ Book #2:
Conviction is the second installment in the Ash Park Novels from Meghan O’Flynn. She has quickly become my favorite thriller writer and one-click go to author for this genera. I have never been disappointed with a novel of hers and once again she has managed to top the bar she set with her last. Conviction took me on a riveting, perplexing, and hair-raising journey that I never wanted to end. I absolutely adore Meghan’s knack for making it nearly impossible to figure out the twist before it happens. I am known for being the one that figures out the movie twenty minutes in, and same for most books like this, but never with Meghan’s. I am 80% of the time wrong, and I LOVE it!

Like I said before, this is the second installment in her Ash Park novels. They could be read as standalones, but I would highly recommend that you read them in order. There are a lot of reoccurring characters that make up the team that do the investigations and so forth. I find it would be a travesty to really divulge much of anything else about the plot because I just can’t ruin this book for you. Curl up with your favorite blanket in a comfy spot. Set the mood and settle in for a dark adventure you are sure to enjoy in one sitting. Thanks Meghan O’Flynn for another outstanding thrill!

REPRESSED ~ Book #3
Holy fracking wow! Repressed is another impressive chilling thriller from Meghan O’ Flynn. I must confess, after each of the Ash Park novels that I read by the ever talented O’ Flynn, I am more enamored than I was with the previous one I just praised as the best of the series. O’ Flynn really has the knack for drawing in the reader and holding you and your thoughts hostage long after you finish the last page. Each of the books could be read as standalones, but I would read them all and in order. For one, as mentioned, they are all great, but they do build in plot and stories, as well as have characters that we do get glimpses of in each of the books, and two, why not?? It is the perfect season and they are all available to scoop up and enjoy!

Repressed gives us the story of Curt Morrison. I always knew that there was more to Curt but I had no idea what was to come from him that is for sure! (No spoilers here though!) Though, as we follow him in his new life with his wife and adorable new daughter we begin to learn about some deep and dark demons that lay ‘repressed’ in his past. The case that Morrison and Petrosky are working on also becomes an overlying factor and everything Morrison has ever cherished will come into jeopardy. Will he be able to conquer his past demons and do whatever it takes to protect the ones that he loves now? Or will the past finally come to catch up to him?

This book touches on some difficult subjects, like the others have, but it is done in a way that makes the story flow. Every piece is necessary to the novel, and tells the story that the reader needs to fully understand all that is going on. Nothing is done without care to details. You can tell these are topics close to Meghan O’ Flynn’s heart. I personally cannot wait to get my hands on the next novel, which will be right after I finish this review. I think a storm is brewing outside too, perfect weather for an Ash Park novel!! Thank you so much for another amazing novel, Meghan O’ Flynn!

What a surprise this book was! I didn’t know we would be getting more from this series and what a book this was. It can essentially be read as a standalone, but I wouldn’t want to as we get to know more of the history of Petrosky in the previous books.

We are introduced to a new partner, Jackson, and I felt she was perfect to add with Petrosky.
We’re onto another killer and this one is tests Petrosky and his moral compass.
What a book. You won’t want to miss this one.

Recall (Ash Park, #6)Recall by Meghan O’Flynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a surprise to me. I really wasn’t expecting another one. So SURPRISE! This picks up after the last book. You do not need to read the previous ones to understand this one. The author does a good job smoothing in anything from previous stories into this one. Although Petrosky is easier to understand after seeing all he has been through if you have previously read these. This is as wonderful, scary and shocking as the previous ones.

Jackson (new partner) and Petrosky driving down the road. Freaking people out driving down the interstate….hilarious!! Jackson seems to add to Petrosky’s weirdness. She was a great add especially after what’s happened to his previous partners. She add some levity and sick humor as well as sarcasm.

This is another great story in the Ash Park series. Reading the end after the story. There looks to be more if these two.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Recall is the sixth book in the An Ash Park series by Meghan O”Flynn, This book can be a stand alone novel, but you would benefit from reading the other books in the series. There are some things that show flashback and characters grow and that would be understood better if you read the other books. This book is full of mystery, suspense and murder. It is a page turner and roller coaster ride that will keep you wanting more and more. Detective Petrosky is on the job again. He is in fear that there may have been a serial killer in the making for 5 years. Will Detective Petrosky find the murder in time? Will there be more murders? You will have to read the book to find out.

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

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 contains the first three books in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. I have read all the instalments in this series to date, and I can tell you that series just goes from strength to strength, each book delivering an intense, gripping, dark, and intense read. This box set is a great introduction to the series, three books for the price of one! Brilliant!!
This box set contains “Famished” (Book 1), “Conviction” (Book 2), and “Repressed (Book 3).

Famished (Book 1)
Famished is the first book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. It in an intense, dark, gory, clever serial killer thriller/crime novel that had me completely gripped in its hold from beginning to end. There were times I thought I should have looked away, closed the book and stopped reading because it was quite shocking and disturbing in places- but I couldn’t, I was glued to the page, heart in my mouth, on the edge of my seat trying to piece everything together and figure it all out before everything was revealed. But, wow- I did not see THAT coming, at all!!! Ms. O’Flynn spun a brilliant web of intrigue, mystery and danger- cleverly choreographing everything into a riveting story and keeping me guessing right till the very end!!

Conviction (Book 2)
Conviction is the second instalment in the gripping Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. I am really enjoying this series, as it has all the elements required to make it a great thriller. This second book could be read as a standalone, but as it has recurring characters, and some backstory from the first book- I really recommend reading book one before embarking on this one, so you get the entire picture and the ‘complete’ experience. The story is quite suspenseful, and the author did a great job of creating tension and building anticipation. I was trying to pick up any clues and piece the puzzle together to figure out what was happening and solve the mystery.
Ms. O’Flynn has woven a compelling story, full of interconnected details, multiple layers, intrigue, danger, mystery, drama, thrills, and chills. She kept me guessing the whole way through. Conviction is set about a year after Famished and we get to catch up with Shannon Taylor, Eddie Petrosky, Curtis Morrison and a few other characters who we met in book #1. Ms. O’Flynn gave this story a flavour all its own- and it’s a fantastic follow up to Famished.

Repressed (Book 3)
Repressed is the brilliant third book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. WOW! This book was intense, dark, disturbing, chilling, graphic, dramatic, and gripping!! This psychological thriller is a superb addition to the series and had me swinging between never wanting to put it down, and needing a break from the tension and suspense. I was glued to the pages from beginning to end, reading it in one sitting- and absolutely loved every mind twisting minute.
The series has been such a fantastic read, and this book just took the series to another level. I didn’t think it could get any better, but I was wrong! This book could be read as a standalone, if you wanted to, but there is a recurring cast of characters and snippets of backstory and previous plot information that pop up in this book, so reading all the books would give you a bigger picture and provide a larger, more developed perspective- which in turn will enhance your overall reading experience. The books are all really great- quite intriguing and suspenseful, so you it’s really a win-win situation!
I knew when I met Curtis Morrison back in book one that there was going to be so much more to him that what he was letting on, or what we were being shown- and man-oh-man this story really unveils him in a raw and revealing way! His story was startling, intense, emotional, and unforgettable! He has been through so much and come so far, but his past just won’t let him forget! After the harrowing events in the previous book, and Curtis and Shannon getting married and having little Evie, this book picks up with them adjusting to parenthood, Shannon trying to manage with Postpartum depression, and Curtis returning to work after a month off. Things are never simple in Ms. O’Flynn’s world, because it’s not long before we are once more swept into another brilliantly twisted tale. This is definitely the best out of these first three books!

If you like crime thrillers on the dark side, with intense storylines and heart-pounding twists- then this is the series for you!

Thank you, Ms. Flynn!!!
