Wow! Just Wow! The Flood by Meghan O’Flynn was an excellent little story. Tension and suspense all the way through. Honestly. It was difficult to put this book down. Chapter after chapter new situations and revelations. Ever have a day when you know something is not right, but so many things are wrong you can’t pinpoint what’s wrong. Yeah, it’s like that. It’s a bumpy ride as we hang with Victoria while she figures out what is going on and what she can do about it.

The Flood
By Meghan O’Flynn
5 out of 5 Stars

Five stars does not do justice to this book! I was on the edge of my seat from the very first page! Miss O’Flynn shows great detail and emotion as she spun a tale of fear and survival. The characters strive to survive while figuring out why they are together in the first place. The mixture of camaraderie and mistrust left me second guessing who to trust. Page after page, the mystery builds.
I highly recommend this book. Anyone who enjoys a mystery with a creepy feel should grab a copy of this book. Meghan O’Flynn is a masterful storyteller.

Wow! What a book! What an epic and brilliant introduction to this amazing author. I have been utterly captivated and entranced by this read! I was utterly taken back by this book on how gripped I was as it isn’t my usual genre but boy was I on the edge of my seat with anticipation wondering what dark and twisted things were to come! Even with how dark this read was it was thrilling from the start and had my nerves on end. It’s also a book that you can’t help but try and connect the dots between the characters and the storyline. Through this book, you felt like you were living out the story of the main character, as though you were fighting all that was against you.

For how much of a psychological thriller read this was it should be a bad thing to say how gripping and brilliant this book was but until you read it and get as captivated as I did you will just have to take my word for how good it really was! I can’t wait to read more from Meghan O’Flynn and what else she has to offer for me to delve into!

The Flood by Meghan O’Flynn. Let me start by saying Meghan O’Flynn is one of my very favorite authors. This book just goes right in there with her other amazing reads. Once you start this you can’t put it down because you have to know what happens next. Its Louisiana and an unprecedented storm is occurring. Victoria Larson and her husband Chad are sitting on the roof of their home watching their beloved city turn into a lake with another massive storm heading their way. They’ve had no food or water for 3 days and don’t see any way in site of getting any until Wendy shows up in a boat and whisks them away to a water proof bunker. Once they get there Victoria goes on high alert because there is a lock on the outside of the door and the food boxes are empty. What is going on? How are all these people going to survive if there is no food. She’s also getting the weird vibe that everyone knows Wendy from before the flood. Are they all in a big plot together against her or is her mind just going crazy from lack of nutrition. This book poses the all important questions “what lengths would you go to in order to survive?” This book is a emotional roller coaster and I honestly didn’t know what was going to happen from one chapter to the next. Its a great book!

Every time I pick up a book by this author I wonder what I’m going to be in for and I have to say The Flood certainly had my overactive imagination going long after I have read it – thankfully I chose to read it in the day!! I was completely hooked from beginning to end – she certainly has a way of capturing your attention and not letting go until the end. The storyline was gripping and that continued throughout the whole story. I will say this isn’t a story where I particularly connected with the characters because I think I was too busy trying to guess what was going to happen! I was certainly kept guessing the whole way through!
The Flood is a fabulous read and definitely one not to be missed!!!

The Flood: A Novel
By Meghan O’Flynn

The Flood by Meghan O’Flynn, is a dark read for sure. The book is nothing like I thought it was going to be. It messed with my head a little bit and I was glad I read it in the day time, certainly not a night time read for me. This is not the first book I have read by this author but is the first book by her that has had me a little nervous about what is happening on the next page. It will have you wondering what you would do in order to stay alive. This book will be awesome for those who like gruesome stories. But it wasn’t a book for me and is not one of my favourites by Meghan. But I do have to say Meghan has such a way in character building. So if you like dark and gruesome stories you need to read this book.

The Flood by Meghan O’Flynn was an amazing book that truly pulled me in and had me on the edge of my seat. From beginning to end, I was HOOKED! Hurricanes have battered the coastal town where Victoria and her husband Chad live. They watch the Levees be destroyed and right when they give up hope, a rescue lead by Windy saves them and takes them to a waterproof bunker. It doesn’t take long for her to see that things are not right and even her husband seems to know more than Windy. Are the people around her victims of the storms? How long can they all last without food?
The web weaved in this book caught me right away, and I didn’t want get out of the world the author created. The book had suspense, drama, suspense, and a story that will hook any reader. I highly recommend this five star read!!

The Flood by Meghan O’Flynn is a psychological thriller that will certainly make you want to run and hide. It will mess with your psyche and leave you looking over your shoulder and making sure the lights are on. Beware it is one story that is very, very twisted and dark and definitely mess with your stomach. It kind of reminded me of that movie Saw. The intensity of the situation seven unlikely people find themselves in is palpable. They soon realise that it is a fight for their lives and one that many may not win.

Meghan has done a great job of building the suspense and leaving you clueless as to what will happen next. This is one story that will not leave you with the warm and fuzzies, it will leave you with a chill and wondering what is around the corner.

5-Stars

The Flood by Meghan O’Flynn is an excellent 5-star crime thriller. I was riveted and could not stop reading. The storyline definitely bit one of my worst fears with the group being stuck in a bunker underground. I could easily imagine the characters fear and anxiety. O’Flynn does an amazing job with her imagery and character development in this novel. I loved Victoria’s character the most of all. She was brave and stayed strong. This novel was addicting and definitely worth it’s 5-stars. I have yet to read a book by this author that I have not liked.

I don’t usually read this genre of books anymore. A book which has a main focus on a psychopathic person seeking revenge on others. That being said, I found The Flood: A Novel to be a good read. It brought back for me memories of reading Stephen King when I was younger. The book set a good pace and kept my interest. The twist and turns it gook kept me guessing on how it was going to end. Meghan O’Flynn definitely has a future and I look forward to seeing more from her.

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Flood by Meghan O’Flynn was a dark twisted read, that had me hooked from start to finish.

Not my first read by this author, so I knew going in that I was in for something not only well written, but twisted, dark and trilling. I was not disappointed. This book starts out dark, and stays that way. It keeps pulling you more and more into its cold twisted hold of horror; that not only keeps you guessing, but will have you wondering, what you would do, in that same situation. Chills, just chills. There’s just something about the whole thing, that will get you right in the darkness of your soul. I’ve seem movies like this, but I have to say, this version has been one of the best so far.

This book is crazy good, and I’m still consumed about how everything when down. How as you go back, you start making connections, start seeing the easter eggs that you missed. This psychological thriller will have you second guessing every character, every word, every decision, and it will have you trying not to root for the MC, while secretly rooting for her to survive.

Overall this read is not only worth it, this book will mess with your head, have you wondering about human nature, and of course, as I have said, have you wondering what you would do. So please take my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval, that you will get lost in the darkness and suspense that is this gem of a book.

Happy Reading

The Flood by Meghan O’Flynn is a look at humanity in desperate times. This book hooked me from the beginning and I really got invested in Victoria’s story. What has started to become a commonplace weather problem of a flood takes on a whole new level of horror in this story. Victoria and her husband Chad are rescued from their roof by someone who tells them of a safe space with food and water to wait out the continuing storms and rising waters. What they discover when they arrive is most disturbing. I really have enjoyed this author’s books in the past and this did not disappoint in the least. The characters are well written and it tests what people will do when put in a desperate situation.

Another amazing, yet also disturbing read from Meghan O’Flynn. This one was definitely a doozy for me. And I highly suggest not reading this before or after eating.
I really liked the concept of this story, it was so different than anything I’ve ever read.
What lengths would you go to in times of starvation and dehydration? This takes you on quite the ride.
If you’re looking for something different to read, pick up this book.

My most favorite genre is psychological thrillers in books. Meghan O’Flynn has become a great author for suspense and psychological thrillers. The Flood is an amazing wicked psychological thriller. The story is a fast read, but you need to keep your eyes open as there are twists and turns around every bend. I was at the edge of my seat and even scream at some of the parts of the book. Ms. O’Flynn has developed characters that I got creeped out at. The story is one that will keep you looking over your shoulders. The Flood, in theory could really happen. That is what makes this story so much more real. Enjoy the journey that Ms. O’Flynn has in story for you.

Ok this is NOT what I thought it would be. I thought it would be about a group of people who all ended up at the same place for shelter. Well I guess this is that but this so much darker or maybe evil is a better word. This story embodies the question of what would you do to survive. Everyone has limits but some are a little further down the line than others. Needless to say the character construction was really good (typical of Meghan O’Flynn). There are layers upon layers with each character. Just when you think…i have it figured out! Guess what? You don’t!

This isn’t my first Meghan O’Flynn Book and It is not my favorite. This was a little gruesome for me and there was too much narrative(too much time spent in Victoria’s head). That’s not to say it’s not a good story because it is…just not my kind of story.

The Flood by Meghan O’Flynn is a psychological thriller that leaves you speechless! I have read most of Meghan’s books so I thought I was prepared for the wickedness but I tell you, I was in no way prepared … she simply blew my mind and that from the prologue on … my goodness, the pictures she paints in your head using the words, I could not fall asleep the night I finished the book!
The writer has given us a story that is a mix of suspense and mystery that is so twisted and nightmarish that you start looking over your shoulder and jump at the weird sounds! There is so much more there that meets the eye, the massive flood in the small coastal town in Louisiana and a couple – Chad and Victoria – being rescued by a woman called Windy taking the to a waterproof bunker … and then it starts surfacing and be prepared as nothing will prepare you! Keep your light on and sleep with one eye open!

The Flood by Meghan O’Flynn is an exciting and intense psychological thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat. This book has to be my favourite one by this author so far. The whole way through I was trying to figure out what was going to happen. Each time I thought I had it susses the author would throw in another twist or a new bit of information that threw it all back on its head.
The book was such an intense read. I think partially because I could almost picture something like this happening – people stranded for days without food due to unprecedented storms. The author did a great job of basing the book firmly enough in reality that it gave the book an edge to it that most like this seem to be missing.
Meghan Flynn has fast become one of those authors that I don’t bother to read the book descriptions because I know how much I will enjoy it. This is one book that I cannot recommend highly enough. You really need to get your copy today.

5 ++++ Stars

I finished this book a few days ago and have not been able to find the words to put in this review, and I’m still not sure but going to give it my best shot.

I’m not sure if I would have chosen this book without this author’s name on it, she became a favorite of mine back while reading her Ash Park Series and now I think I’d read anything she comes up with. Choosing this book after reading the synopsis proves that.

This story affected me from word one, I was totally invested in Victoria’s character and I can not explain why but everything that occurred in this book opened up new sides to her and I truly felt like I understood her.

The rest of this story was a complete mystery that revealed itself little by little..One of those you get a whole lot of AHA moments and then immediately start trying to figure out more. I seriously had so many different endings going on in my head and was so amazed at how completely wrong I was from the start.

I thought this book would give me nightmares and thankfully it has not, but I still get chill bumps when I think about the story or even see the cover. It was AMAZING, written so that you could almost feel, see, smell, and hear exactly what these people were and I can’t recommend it enough. This amazes me because again I wouldn’t normally choose this genre but again I’ll choose anything by this author!!

Loved It!

The Flood is one of those books that will suck you into a deep dark vortex of suspense and drama. This is nothing new to me from the ever talented Meghan O’Flynn. I have devoured the majority of her books and fell into a twisted sort of love with her Ash Park series. This one was something I held to a somewhat high standard since I did know what O’Flynn is capable. As you can tell I wasn’t let down in the least bit and actually flove this one just as much as her other dark twisted novels.

I won’t divulge a whole lot more than what you get from the gripping cover and blurb. The book begins with a massive flood swallowing the small coastal town of Louisiana. Chad and Victoria were stranded on the roof of their house when what seemed to be a hero, a nice woman that offers to take them to safety. But as with all good and dark plots things are never what they seem to be at first impressions. I can promise lots of twisted and dark comes and throughout it is all done with a masterful flow and never overdone. Prepare yourself for those aftershocks and nightmares. The ending is fantabulous and done in a way I never saw coming, but ever so perfectly! This is not one you want to miss out on. I can’t wait to see what else is roaming around that mind of Meghan O’Flynns!

This author is fast becoming one of my go to authors for suspense. I loved this book, it just might be my favorite yet. This author’s writes suspense stories that pull me in from the beginning. They are engaging and have sitting on the edge of your seat suspense until the end. Some of these characters are dark and some twisted. The town is trapped by the flood but as people start dying, they start looking towards their rescuer. Is there more than meets the eye to him? This is a must read.

The story The Flood by Meghan O’Flynn is a psychological thriller. It is a book that pulled me in from the beginning and I found myself lost in the storyline. This is a story that had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. It is like being on a rollercoaster ride that doesn’t end until the last page. I enjoyed reading about the many characters that are introduced in the book. Some of them I grew to care about what happened to them, others seemed to have their own agenda and plans. This is a story that asks the question “How far would you go to survive?” The characters in this story face a shortage of food and water. Then there is the feeling that everything that is happening is not as it seems to be. Are they part of some sick game? What does the future hold for them? Read this book to find out. This story has times of conflict and also emotional moments. The world that these characters find themselves in seems to spiral out of control and turn upside down. Don’t miss out on a thrilling story that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

The Flood is the latest release by Meghan O’Flynn- and what a mind-twisting and intense read this has been. Ms. Flynn’s books always leave me looking over my shoulder with their sinister and creepy tones- and this one was certainly all that and more. I don’t know quite how to categorize it, as it has a little bit of everything from psychological thriller, to suspense, and mystery with dark, twisted, gruesome, and nightmarish developments and situations that had me scrambling to stay on top of everything that was happening. There were so many scenarios running through my mind while I was reading, and I was trying to piece everything together and figure out what exactly was happening. But there was more going on than meets the eye, that’s for sure- and things become clearer little by little, as the story unfolds. I was left guessing, and I was never quite sure where Ms. O’Flynn was ‘taking’ me. As expected, Ms. O’Flynn has spun a brilliant web of intrigue and it’s certainly one story I won’t forget any time soon.
I did have a little trouble connecting with Victoria especially at the beginning, but as the story progressed and details were revealed, she grew on me more.
Another well-spun tale that made all the hairs on the back of my neck stand to attention, and will definitely have me looking over my shoulder for a while to come.

Thank you, Ms. Flynn!!!

This story is crazy good. With a big emphasis on CRAZY. The prologue of this story leaves you squirming, a little uneasy and completely under O’Flynn’s control. The story continues like the eye of a hurricane. The calm is there but you know something big is about to happen.

I didn’t like Victoria at the beginning. She acted as if she had little feelings, almost as if she was better than everyone else, certainly didn’t like her husband anymore. Through the course of this story, though, feelings are brought out and explained. Victoria has her reasons as do the others stuck in the bunker.

O’Flynn’s stories leave you a little leery of the world around you. What sinister things could be waiting to happen, either in real life or in O’Flynn’s mind?! I recommend this book for a little escape from the romance of life.

Publishing Company – Pygmalion Publishing
Victoria Larson and her husband, Chad, are sitting on their rooftop, waiting for the end. For three days, they’ve watched their coastal Louisiana town turn into a lake, battered by an unprecedented series of hurricanes. With the levees obliterated, the waters rise higher and higher—the next storm is sure to swallow their house whole.
Just when all hope seems lost, a rescue boat emerges through the driving rain; a woman named Windy plucks them from their roof and motors them to a waterproof bunker—to safety. There, with a ragtag group of other evacuees, Victoria and Chad bed down and prepare to wait out the storms.
But it isn’t long before Victoria notices a few things seem…off. The cement bunker has a door that locks from the outside. Many of the boxes of food don’t contain food at all. The bottles of water smell like rubbing alcohol. And everyone in the group has a secret; even Victoria’s own estranged husband seems to have known their captor prior to making the trek to the shelter. And some of her fellow evacuees are far too intent on defending the woman who locked them in this dungeon. Are they really storm victims like Victoria? Or are they accomplices in a sick game?
One thing is certain: none of them will survive if they can’t find something to eat. And if the stories the others tell about Windy are any indication, Victoria suspects their captor’s plans are far more evil than simply watching them die of malnourishment.
The blade Windy gave her is proof enough of that.
And it won’t be long until starvation devours the last of Victoria’s sanity.
Tightly plotted and deliriously wicked, this psychological thriller will leave you breathless. Fans of Nick Cutter and Paul Tremblay will love The Flood.
