STARVATION TAKES MANY FORMS
Ash Park, a run-down suburb of Detroit, might not be the most idyllic place to live, but for Hannah Montgomery, it’s safe. At least, it feels that way until a serial killer starts dicing up women from the shelter where she volunteers.
Hannah manages to convince herself the killings have nothing to do with her brutal past—but then her boyfriend is murdered in the same ruthless manner as the others. And the police think she may have had something to do with it.
The cops are right about one thing: Hannah is responsible. Because she knows who the killer is. Now she must face the fact that she brought a monster with her to Ash Park—and his appetite for blood is insatiable.
Everyone’s hungry for something.
Some are more famished than others.
Dark, gritty, and raw, Famished is an emotional roller coaster and an electrifying debut from bestselling author Meghan O’Flynn. If you like Chelsea Cain, James Patterson, or Caroline Kepnes, you’ll LOVE Famished, the first book in the Ash Park series.

Thrilling, emotional, and depraved, with twists and turns you don’t see coming.
Famished (Ash Park #1) by Meghan O’Flynn was dark, gritty, and apart from having my heart in a vice, it had me hooked from start to finish.
My first read by this author I didn’t know what to expect. I just thought I was in for your normal, thriller mystery, like a CSI/Criminal Minds mix… No, no, no.. It was more on the darker side of Criminal Minds. Not only did I get attached to Hannah, I felt for her, somehow connected to her, and, I don’t even know what to say or think anymore.
Hannah was a good character, like I said I connect with her, and every minute of her hellish life I wish I could have been there to give her a hug, and just, put her in a bubble. Strong in her own right, Hannah was that MC you root for, hope for and just want all the good things for.
Damn Meghan O’Flynn, you managed to not only rip out my heart, but just when I thought things were looking up, you ripped it out again and stomped on it. Thanks….Sometimes there are no happy endings, and this book shows us, will for me I felt, it showed the real look at what goes on when trying to catch a killer. The grunt work, the long hours, and the constant feelings of guilt and grief that, you weren’t fast, or strong enough.
This book will push your emotions, will make you think it will end like your normal TV drama. Be prepared for some gut punching feels, and a good slap to the face. And that my friend is where I leave you, but yes, before I go, I give this book my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.
I will now dive into the next book.
What is wrong with me? Good writing that’s what
Happy Reading

Told from multiple points of view, FAMISHED had me guessing right up to the end. I thought I knew, then I was wrong. I thought I knew again, but the author led me down a different path. When I finally knew, I couldn’t wait to find out the details! I liked all the characters. They were each wounded which made me feel for them … except for the killer! If you like twisty serial-killer thrillers, you’ll like this one. Warning: it is graphic.
Famished An Ash Park Novel by Meghan O’Flynn
Famished was an intense novel. The book had me thinking one thing only to throw me for a loop later. Huge twist. I really enjoyed reading it. It is easily a 5 star book. It does have several gruesome scenes where murders are described in detail. It is not for the faint of heart.
I enjoyed this book, and definitely recommend it to those who like thrillers.
Famished by Meghan O’Flynn is the opening to her Ash Park series that introduces us to Detective Petrosky who will be our lead throughout the series. How do I know? Well, I happened to pick up the fourth book first and realized that even though it sort of seemed like a standalone, I needed to come back to the beginning …
This 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! I will forge on to the next book in the series!
Fearless, smart writing and a plot that will stick with you.
If you love murder mysteries, detectives that never quit, and stories that keep you guessing while turning the pages, then this is a book for you.
Detective Petrosky has a past that we get bits and pieces of throughout the story. It doesn’t seem like a good past, which makes him a hardened cop. But he’s perfect for Ash Park and the killer that’s on the loose.
Hannah has a past of her own, which is why she’s in Ash Park. But the sad thing is her past followed her here. Now people are dying.
Meghan O’Flynn is a new to me author 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.
Looking forward to the next book to see where Detective Petrosky and his friends end up!
Famished: An Ash Park Novel, Volume 1 by Meghan O’Flynn
4 out of 5 Stars
This book was a tough one for me to get through, I will be honest. This book had me scared in a few places and I had to put my kindle down at times to catch my breath. Hannah Montgomery is a volunteer at a local women’s shelter in Ash Park. When women from her shelter go missing, Hannah starts to suspect that something is wrong, very, very, wrong, and she is very, very right. A serial killer is slicing and dicing up women in her neighborhood.
The police think that Hannah has something to do with it after her boyfriend is murdered in the same fashion. Hannah knows who the murder is…problem is….they are only getting started.
I couldn’t sit still with this book. I was so antsy reading this because of the detail of this book. My cat jumped on my bed at one point and I screamed! I love a good thriller and this book delivers all of that and more. Most defiantly an 18+ for the strong language and violence. Highly recommended
What a book! It’s got that feeling like if you were in a haunted house. It’s the right kind of creepy l, eerie, spooky, story that you will want to sink into your comfy spot with cider in preparation for Halloween during this fall season. It was definitely an amazing book. The details to pull you in and the authors passion shines through the book. I could not put it down!! I love this book! I can not wait to read the second!!
Famished: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 1) by Meghan O’Flynn is the first book in her Ash Park Novel Series, which is a great thriller that will knock your socks off. This book definitely keep me guessing, swirling the dark, suspenseful themes and definitely grabbed ahold of me from page one. Getting started on this book was easy, O’Flynn writes a story that is easy to fall into, and before I knew it I was half way into this story and up well passed my bedtime. The character of Hannah initially seemed predictable, but as the story went on she definitely made up for the initial meeting. I think that her story was one that I wasn’t expecting, working at a women’s shelter and with trauma victims. This works for her because of her past, whatever she is hiding from. When her boyfriend is murdered, she becomes the spotlight to those she has been trying ti hide from for too long. The more that Hannah attempts to find out who killed her boyfriend, the more that the serial killer gets closer to her. Will she be able to keep herself save and find out who is coming after those she loves. Will staying in this person’s sights mean getting killed or will the police who think she is the killer keep her safe in the end? This story will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. There were several twists and turns that I didn’t see coming, O’Flynn really writes in a way that makes the story come to life around you and keeps you guessing as to who the bad guy is. This book will definitely keep you guessing as to the “whodunit” and who you can trust. If you are looking for a great story, from a fantastic author, and series that I can’t wait to see where it goes, pick this one up today and join in. You definitely won’t be disappointed.
Completely Riveting! I could not put this book down! Famished is a novel written by Meghan O’Flynn. It is the first book in the Ash Park series. This author truly is an amazing writer! I love murder mysteries to begin with and have read some of the greats and this book is right up there with them! This story is spoken from many different points of views. However, it mainly follows a woman named Hannah, who is beyond a little bit on the scared and nervous side. It also follows Detective Petrosky who starts as the lead detective following a series of murders in Ash Park. Every character in this story has a dark past that we learn about as the story unfolds. Every character that is mentioned plays a part that makes the bigger picture. Somehow, Hannah plays the biggest part in all of this story. There are so many twists and turns and everything is so calculated. I was completely glued to my kindle! Unlike some of the main murder mystery writers, this author chose to add in some seriously sexy and steamy scenes. These scenes are pretty graphic but written so incredibly well! This story simply blew me away! I loved the writing and the characters and how everything calculatingly unfolds. I cannot wait for the next book in the series! I would definitely recommend this book to any reader who loves murder mysteries. Absolutely Brilliant! There are no other words to describe it!
Imagine feeling so safe, feeling like your past is behind you, UNTIL killings start happening. That is how Hannah felt in Ash Park, just outside Detroit. She tries to tell herself this isn’t tied to her until the killer takes the life of her boyfriend and the killings are centered on the shelter where she volunteers.
Famished by Meghan O’Flynn is the first book in the Ash Park series and let me tell you, this book was intense, this book had a plotline that drew you right in, and by the time I hit the last page I was wanting more and more. This is the first I read by this author and it won’t be the last! This thriller, had me at the edge of my seat, with the vivid detail, I could close my eyes and see this town, the characters! Meghan O’Flynn is an amazing author and one I will want to read more of!!
Famished was a thrilling 4 star read and book one in the Ash Park series.
There are so many characters POV’s it took me a bit to get into the book and know who everyone was. Once I was familiar it was easier to follow.
Hannah is hiding, hiding away from someone who is very dangerous. She’s always jumpy and leary of things around her, just when she thought she might be safe her world is flipped upside down. He’s found her.
He watches her, he wants her, and he’s about to get his wish. He’s so close and she doesn’t even know it. What will happen when/if he gets his hands on her?
There is so much more to this read, you will be on the edge of your seat wondering what’s coming next. Each character adds a great element to the story and it seems they have their own little secrets as well. And there is a heck of a twist at the end that will leave you in shock. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I will warn that there are some scenes that may be graphic and triggers for some.

Four 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. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Famished: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 1) By Meghan O’Flynn. First off let me just say wow, I was completely hooked on this book. I’m a crime story junky, I love a good thriller/ suspense story following the clues and guessing the outcome is my favorite.

Famished- Meghan O’Flynn
5-stars
Famished by Meghan O’Flynn is the first book in the Ash Park series. This storyline had me hooked from the start until the very end. It’s intense, dark, dramatic, suspenseful, haunting and so unbelievably mind-blowing. This storyline is so action-packed that I read it in one sitting, I got so swept up in the story that I was able to completely forget about the real world.
Meghan is a phenomenally talented author who writes with so much detail, which with stories like this can make it hard to read. There were definitely a few times where I wanted to take a break as I could easily picture the scene playing out in my mind, in the most haunting way. This storyline kept me on my toes the whole way through and I still feel so emotional after reaching the end.
I can’t wait to jump into book 2, I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next suspenseful crime read!
Famished: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 1)
By Meghan O’Flynn
This book had me hooked from the beginning. This is a very dark, twisted, and violent story. This book will take you on twists and turns and have you trying to guess who the killer is. I thought the author did a very cool thing by bringing into the mind of the character and it’s insane. I couldn’t put this book down as twisted as it is, it kept me on the edge of my seat. I enjoyed reading this book, it may not be for everyone because of the violence and gore, but if you like that sort of thing then this book is for you. I recommend reading this book, it will keep you guessing what’s going to happen next. I can’t wait to read the next book.
Meghan O’Flynn is a new to me author and I’m excited to explore more of her novels, especially the rest of the Ash Park series as Famished is book 1, and I enjoyed it alot! I was a little surprised and put out by the relationships in this story because all of the characters struck me as disconnected from their partners. I didn’t feel any passion or spark, and not just with Hannah. With Noelle as well. This took away from the feelings evoked when tragic events happen, lessening the overall edge of your seat excitement. I think what I liked the absolute most was that all of the characters are eccentric. And I LOVED how many twists are in this story. At no point was I 100% positive who the serial killer was, who was next, or why. 4 out of 5 stars!
