A … My Father
NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO, YOUR PAST FOLLOWS.
For once in his life, Curtis Morrison has it good.
A newly-married detective on the Ash Park police force, Morrison spends his days working to heal the ails of society to make up for his own checkered past. But though he’s come a long way from a life of deadly, bloody secrets he can’t fully recall, not even his wife and baby daughter can silence the old addiction still rattling around in his brain.
And he’s about to learn that a history like his is not the kind you can escape from.
When his wife and child go missing, Morrison finds himself dragged into a nightmare game controlled by a sadistic monster hell-bent on making him pay for sins he’s repressed for nearly twenty years. Whoever took his wife isn’t after her–they want Morrison to suffer. And with each day that passes, his family’s situation grows more dire.
Now Morrison must explore a past he’d hoped he’d left behind to save the people he loves, awakening the beast he’s tried so hard to forget. What he uncovers is far worse than he imagined, every clue dragging him away from the life he’s painstakingly built and back to a place he’d very nearly succumbed.
The clock’s ticking. And this time, he might not make it out alive.

Repressed: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 3) by Meghan O’Flynn. This is the 3rd book in the Ash Park series and each one gets better to me. This one is about Curtis Morrison who is a newly married Ash Park Police officer. His past life was no where near his life today. He did things he doesn’t like to think about and is trying to forget. He has a new wife and baby, a great job and that is what he’s trying to focus on until his past comes back to haunt him. Someone has his wife and child. Will he have to go back to his old ways to get them back or will he lose them forever. Sometimes your past has a way of catching up with you. I read this book like the others in one sitting. Don’t start these books thinking, I’ll read a little here and there, nope, not going to happen! Can’t wait for the next book in this series!
This book was tense and had me on the edge of my sear until the very end.
Great mystery!
Repressed is the third story in Meghan O’Flynn’s Ash Park 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! If this is your first book of the series, it will pull you in and you will want to read the other ones and I promise you, you should! I started with book four and now when I have also read the first three, I keep thinking about the fourth one and lamenting what I missed … I think it deserves a re-read!
O.M.G. This book 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 book included our favorite characters from the first two Ash Park novels, Detectives Petrosky and Morrison and DA Shannon Taylor who had married Morrison in the last book. This story has our team hunting for a pedophile, a murderer and a kidnapper. What are the chances it’s the same person? What are the chances that it’s someone they know?
There are a lot of “repressed” memories and feelings in this story. (Wow what a great title!) I am surprised there weren’t more bad guys!
“Perhaps one day the other memories would fade as the good in life oozed in to the crowd out the tragedy.”
I definitely recommend this story but advise that starting with book one will help you understand the characters feelings and personalities that much more.
Repressed: An Ash Park Novel, Volume 3 by Meghan O’Flynn
4 out of 5 Stars
This third book in this series is beyond amazing. Curtis Morrison has had a rough life, but right now, life is good for him. Newly married, a Detective at Ash Park Police and a baby girl. But all of that comes crashing to a halt when his wife and daughter go missing and his life goes into a tail spin.
Someone from his past is coming back to get him, and they are making his live h*ll. He has spent the better half of his adult life trying to get away from the life he left, but someone does not want him to forget. Someone wants him to remember and they want to make him remember in a way that will hurt him the worst, and time is running out.
Ms O’Flynn is a very talented writer. This book was full of passion, secondary emotions and strong details. I loved every second of this book. Most definitely an 18+ for the strong language and violence but a fantastic book nonetheless. If you love James Patterson, or books similar, you will love this book.
Repressed (Ash Park #3) by Meghan O’Flynn was a dark, gritty psychological thriller, that like the past books in this series, had me hooked from start to finish.
The third book is the Ash Parks series, we are once again tossed into a deadly game, and one that surrounds a main recurring character Curtis Morrison. Meeting him in the first book, and following him to see what he has become, and then this book. I feel like this was happening to a close friend. Man I should not be benign reading this series, but I can’t stop. Not once I read the synopsis for this one and knowing that Cutis was going to be the next one to be put through hell. I just want to put him in a box, and put up a do not touch sign.
I don’t even know where to start. This book, was a lot harder for me because like I said I’ve been reading from book one. It would have been different if I was reading about a new character getting put through the ringer, but when it’s one that’s been there from the start, as a new bright eye detective, to now, married, baby.. it hits you hard. The writing does a great job at that, pulling you in, making you see boths sides. My heart was on the floor for most of this book. Meghan O’Flynn has a way with keeping the tone dark, gritty and has this way of just keeping the suspense, the mind games and the mystery high. And not just with the killer but with our MC as well. Cause we get to learn new things about Curtis, darker things. And as we have seen lately, your past is never truly buried.
Overall this book, so far, for me, has been the darkest, twisted, and the most engaging/entertaining read of the series. As much as I felt like my heart was about to be boot/***** across the room, I could not put it down, look away, or breath. This book, and this series is fast becoming a fav of mine, and possibly the best of the year. So yes, I give this book and series my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.
Happy Reading

Repressed (Ash Park #3) by Meghan O’Flynn
5 stars
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!
Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn is the third book in her Ash Park Novel series and it just keeps getting better and better. Follow the same characters through more adventures, we get to see just how dark, twisted and psychologically thrilling that O’Flynn can be. This book gives the reader exactly what they are looking for, the flash backs, the grave danger, the killer’s point of view, and a great mystery to solve. Getting to see more of Petrosky, Shannon, Evie and Morrison still just warms me up. Petrosky really shines as a hero in this book which is a definite change of pace. The loyality and comradery that connects all of these characters together really made this a fantastic book as well as a series. While this book is in the middle of the series, I believe the characters really came alive in this one more than any of the other books. Getting to see the development from one book to the next I had a really hard time putting this book down. The creatures that go bump in the night in Repressed really will take your breath away, all while making it nearly impossible to sleep without the lights on. While Repressed is part of a series, I do think that it is possible to read on its own. The first two novels in this series are really setting the stage for Repressed, so I completely recommend reading all the books in order, as the character development really shines throughout.
5 Star
Repressed : An Ash Park Novel (Volume 3) By Meghan O’Flynn is the third book in her An Ash Park series. I loved this book it was dark,intense and chilling.This is my favorite of this series. If you haven’t read the first two books in this series I definitely recommend reading them as well. Although they can all be read as standalone. I had a hard time putting this book down once I started reading it. I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what happens next. There’s a bit of everything in this book, action, suspense and mystery. The more I read in this series the more it’s becoming one of my favorites. I recommend reading not only this Book but the whole series. I can’t wait to read more from this author.
Repressed (An Ash Park Novel #3) by Meghan O’Flynn is a five star novel. This novel picks up a few years after book 2. You could probably read this as a standalone, but I recommend reading it as a series because it is much more comprehensive that way. When we pick up the novel, we are thrown into the middle of the police of Ash Park trying to solve a case about sexual abuse and murder of little boys. The killer has escalated and is now killing his victims instead of just pleasuring himself with the abuse. He has gotten away with it so far but the detectives know they need to figure out what is going on and solve the case before anymore children get hurt. This book is fast paced and busy with the detectives interviewing other people and trying to catch the predator. I love how it was able to hold my attention right from the jump and keep my attention the whole way through.
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!
Repressed By Meghan O’Flynn is volume three in the Ash Park Novel Series. And this by far is the best one that I have read. This book is true definition of a thriller, Very dark, twisted, and fully shows you, not everyone is who they appear to be. O’Flynn again gets down to the dirty so to speak by creating these amazing characters, giving us a mystery that we feel we are in the middle of, and hating when we see those we have grown to love in the series in danger. I just know that each time I get to visit Ash Park, I am never disappointed and always a book that I cannot put down! Another FIVE star read!
Morrison is freshly married and content with his life until an old addiction starts to take over his mind and show that the secrets from his past can’t always stay buried. When his wife and daughter come up missing and he learns this monster who truly wants him to suffer from sins he committed years ago. As time is working against him, he must face something he has tried so hard to forget, awakening a monster, to save those he loves.
Each book grabs you, and makes you want to read more about Ash Park, but for some reason this book stuck with me, even when I was done and put it down. If you are looking for a good read, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU!!
Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn is the third book in the Ash Park Series and is another brilliant addition to the psychological thriller series. Repressed is a lot dark and disturbing, a little chilling and super thrilling. Whenever I read anything from Meghan I know I am in safe hands and always enjoy the fascinating and twisted world in which she weaves. The tension and suspense that built, not only in the story but within myself as I watched what these characters went through was compelling and gripping and had me on edge right the way through. I think this maybe the best book in the series to date. Will they survive all that is thrown at them or give up and give in?
I was so engaged and engrossed in this story that I read it all in one sitting. I highly recommend this book to those who like to read something dark and twisted.
You know how I’m constantly saying that I love reading thrillers? Well, Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn doesn’t even begin to cover my whole adoration for this particular genre. To say that I literally sat on the edge of my seat while reading this book doesn’t even explain all that I felt while reading.
Like I said, I sat on the edge of my seat (figuratively biting my finger nails – I don’t do that, just in my head) and felt like I had to scream at everything and everyone that interrupted my reading.
This whole world building gets better and better with each book, and the fact that the author is able to maintain that suspense throughout the entirety of the book is what astounds me. I kept trying to figure out what was going to happen, but I’ve come to realize with O’Flynn that it’s just not possible. As a reader, you kind of just have to go with the book and the flow of it, and see where everything settles. You will not be disappointed – not one bit. I seriously can’t wait to see where else she takes us! This was definitely another 5 Star Book for me!
Repressed was a great 5 star read and is book three in the Ash Park series.
All I can say is wow, after reading this book, it was disturbing, dark, intense and twisted. Once I started I didn’t want to put it down.
I was excited to get to know Morrison better in this book. He is newly married and a new dad on top of it. He had a serious addiction in his past that has caused some blank spots in his memory. When his family is kidnapped his past comes spiraling back.
Will he be able to save them in time?
This was a fast paced read that twisted me in so many directions. There is so much going on I don’t want to give anything away. The secondary characters added a great element to the story. I have to say I wouldn’t be disappointed if Roger fell off the face of the earth, I did not care for him at all. My emotions were all over the place and I was on the edge of my seat. Meghan does a great job with her writing and all the detail, she pulled me right in. You feel like your right there with the characters. If you love dark suspense this is definitely the book for you. This can be read as a stand alone. Warning: some scenes are gruesome and could be triggers for some.
Repressed by Meghan O’Flynn
Four Stars
Repressed is the third book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. This series keeps getting better and better. This series can be read as stand alone books, but you really don’t want to miss any of this goodness. 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 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.
Repressed, the third book in the Ash Park series, by Meghan O’Flynn continues the relationship between Curt and Shannon but it’s not necessary to have read the first two books. Repressed explains previous events concisely. This is a fast paced thriller, as the Ash Park PD struggle with yet another series of murders. The characters are all well written with their own motivations, distinct from each other. The story doesn’t feel rushed in any way, despite the amount of things that happen during the course of this novel.
WOW! Truly impressive book! Repressed is the third book in the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. This book follows Morrison and of course his new lovely wife and their new daughter. Petrosky is in this as well like always. However, we get in depth with Curt Morrison and reach inside him and pull out his demons. Unlike the other books, this one seems to be a bit darker. The demons that one fights inside the brain can be truly tough and very hard to conquer. On top of that previous addiction usage doesn’t help the situation either. This book also covers depression in several ways. Just like the other books, this book also follows a case that Morrison and Petrosky are working on. This one involves little boys and pedophilia that has escalated to murder. It also has to do with Morrison’s past and someone wanting him to pay. I loved reading this one because Morrison’s character seems so real and relatable. He’s like a person that everyone has known at some point and time in their life and his struggle is something completely valid. As I said…this book is a bit more dark and a bit more intense. But as the story unfolds all the pieces click together perfectly. I love how all the main characters remain in the series but there is one character that each book focuses on. It makes it feel like a drawn out movie and somehow all the books and parts link together. It’s truly awesome! I simply cannot get enough of this series and I cannot wait to read the rest of the books!
Repressed (An Ash Park Novel Volume 3)
By Meghan O’Flynn
Repressed is the third book in the Ash Park series by Meghan O’Flynn and I honestly have to say five stars is not enough.
What can I say but another great book. I keep saying that I will not read this series at night again, and what do I do read it in bed before going to sleep. This series is enough to give you nightmare, in some places each book is actually quite scary… well was for me any way. If you want a series that is dark, scary as heck, twisted and yet riveting then you really really need to read this series. But please start at the beginning as I wouldn’t recommend this series as standalone reads. Don’t know where Meghan gets her imagination from but its great and looking forward to more of her work. Think its time for Stephen King to move over as Meghan for me has passed him in a big way.
