“Wickedly entertaining . . . a perfect addition to the Ash Park series, and every bit as shocking.” ~Kristen Mae, bestselling author of Red Water THE ASH PARK SERIES STARTS HERE…Edward Petrosky joined the Ash Park police force with two goals in mind: escape the military and silence the demons that followed him home from the war. And no one soothes those traumas better than his fiancé, … war. And no one soothes those traumas better than his fiancé, Heather—he doesn’t even mind that she has a checkered past of her own.
But his dreams are obliterated when one night, on a routine call, Ed stumbles upon a scene as horrifying as any he’s seen in combat: Heather’s bloody body, half-buried in the snow. Though his superiors order him to stay away from the investigation, Ed can’t help but notice the inconsistencies in Heather’s case—her supposed cause of death doesn’t mesh with what she’s told him about her past.
When another body turns up, Ed realizes that Heather’s murder wasn’t an isolated act of violence; this new victim was connected to the same shelter where Heather volunteered and attended the same church where a kindly priest seems to know more about the murders than he should. And the detectives working the case seem indifferent to these links despite being no closer to finding Heather’s killer.
Now Ed must choose whether to play by the rules or sacrifice his career to seek justice for the woman he was supposed to spend his life with. One thing’s for certain: Ed can’t go down without a fight, because Ed isn’t the only one seeking vengeance.
And in Ash Park, the innocents aren’t always who they appear to be.
Chilling, and as twisted as you’ve come to expect from Meghan O’Flynn, Salvation will keep you glued to the pages. If you like James Patterson’s Alex Cross series, Tana French’s Murder Squad series, or Vargus and McBain’s Violet Darger FBI thrillers, you’ll love Ash Park.

Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel is outstanding. I have read all of the books and I can tell you each book builds and builds to the final word. Meghan O’Flynn is a master mind with the thriller, mystery, suspense, twists, and everything else she wants to put into her story. I loved how I felt I was inside the story right there with Detective Edward Petrosky and rode the emotional roller coaster he is on. This story is where it all begins. So I highly recommend reading this book first. I learned about the characters in this story which gave great insight for the Detective Edward in the other books. I am afraid if I keep talking I will give spoilers and that would not be good for anyone. So sit down, grab your most comfortable blanket, get tissue, and settle in to start with Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel.

5-stars
This novel gives great backstory to Ed Petrosky who is actually one of my favorite character in the other Ash Park novels. Meghan O’Flynn portrays him in his younger days in the novel and reveals to the reader events that greatly make his character unique in her other novels. I can’t believe all the heart ache he had to endure in this novel. My heart broke with his whole reading. The ending of this novel definitely surprised and shocked me. I also loved getting to know Linda’s character in this novel. It is an excellent addition to the Ash Park Series.

Salvation: An Ash Park Novella is the prequel to the brilliant Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. I have read all of the Ash Park series and thought my wild ‘ride’ might have been over- so I was thrilled to discover this book had recently been released. All through the series, I have reiterated how impressed I am with Ms. O’Flynn’s ability to spin an incredibly clever thriller- and how she also manages to make each new instalment slightly eclipse the previous one. As well as the amount of tension, suspense, shocks, twists, surprises, and puzzling situations that she manages to infuse into each story, has me in awe of her skills- she always has me guessing, with a tight, unpredictable storyline- and delivering heart pounding, stomach clenching, and mind-blowing reading every single time.
This book takes us back to the beginning, giving us a different glimpse into the life of Detective Edward Petrosky, and some of the earlier events that shaped the man we know from the rest of the series. I can’t say too much more than what’s already mentioned in the blurb, without giving away spoilers, so do yourself a favour and grab yourself a copy- and get set for a thrilling ride….. with 5 other books in the series to devour, as well!
I wonder what Ms. O’Flynn has in store for us next?
Thank you, Ms. O’Flynn!!!
Salvation by Meghan O’Flynn is an Ash Park prequel. This was a quick read and was a great way to tell the backstory of Ed Petrosky. I have enjoyed the entire Ash Park series and this was a great addition. This can be read before the rest of the series or as I did after the fact. This is full of suspense and intrigue. The story tells the backstory of Ed and how he deals with the murder of his fiancee. She is not the lone victim of a killer and Ed has to figure out what is going on before the killer strikes again. If you enjoy good suspense that keeps you reading this is a great book to read.
Salvation is the Prequel Novella of Meghan O’Flynn’s Ash Park series. It is pretty crazy how the prequel came out after the whole series was published! I had read the series before I picked up the prequel, I actually picked up the prequel as I had read the series … I could not get enough of the series AND of Meghan’s writing (I have read almost everything she has published!!!). I was really excited to pick up another Edward Petrosky story and I loved getting the deep insight into his past. We had gotten glimpses into it through the series but the novella gives us all!
Ed is a patrol officer and he is trying to find his place in the world while trying to escape the demons from his time in the military and … he is in love and to be married, to Heather who has her own demons from her past … one night while out on his shift, he finds her bloody body half-buried in the snow … You can imagine where the story takes us to from here … the twists and turns, the unexpected revelations, the other characters, different clashing agendas even though it should be all about finding the killer as Heather is not the only dead body, just a beginning … it is the story of human nature and vengeance …
I warmly suggest you pick up the series, you will not regret, you will be sucked into the dark world of the Ash Park and you do not want to leave!

5 out of 5 stars
The story Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella by Meghan O’Flynn is a book that I loved reading. I have already read the other stories in the Ash Park series and enjoyed reading another book with the character of Edward Petrosky. This novella is when Ed is a patrol officer. He is in love with his fiancé Heather. Then in one night, his dreams for the future are destroyed when he finds Heather’s bloody body half-buried in the snow. Now pain and grief surround him. Who killed Heather? Why was she killed? When another body is found, one that has a connection to where Heather volunteered her time and to the same church she attended, more questions are raised. Will Ed ignore the rules and sacrifice his career to get justice for Heather? Will the killer be caught? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has twists and turns. There is suspense and I found myself on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. Trying to figure out who was responsible for the crimes being committed is like trying to solve a puzzle. I found myself trying to put together the pieces. Ed is a character that is haunted by his past and a character that I could empathize with. He also has a sharp mind and good instincts. There are other characters that are introduced in this story that I also liked reading about. They are helpful to Ed. Then there are those who have their own agenda and don’t care about who is hurt or the consequences. This is a story that will hook you in and won’t let go until you finish it. I would highly recommend reading it.
O’Flynn is officially a master storyteller. This prequel was everything I expected and yet still surprising. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the Ash Park series and was so excited to get my hands on this installment. If you like a good mystery with plenty of suspense, you MUST READ this series. Just a fantastic book and series. Highly recommended.
This is one of my favorite series. Each book is action, edge of seat sitting suspense and hard to put down plots and this one is no different. This is the prequel to this series where Edward has joined the Ash Park police department. He gets called out to a call that will change his life forever. Now he is faced with making a choice, backing off the case or find the murder who took his love from him. I couldn’t put it down, I lost track of all time, pulled right in. It is a must read!
A gripping must-read!
Raw, suspenseful, and twisted with an ending that you never see coming! Get ready for an emotional roller coaster. Everything you would expect from Meghan O’Flynn.
Wickedly entertaining… the perfect precursor to the Ash Park series, and every bit as shocking.
This prequel follows a young, new to the force Detective Petrosky as he seeks justice in a deeply personal case. Fans of the Ash Park series will enjoy this glimpse in to how Petrosky became the man we all love, no matter how cranky he gets. Those new to Ash Park will get a taste of O’Flynn’s dark, twisty mysteries that will make them sure to buy the whole series next. This story is suspenseful, shocking, and sad, but also funny with a touch of hopefulness. It’s a quick read that I would recommend to any mystery fan.
He loved her. She caught his eye and his heart all in the same night. He believed her and in her. Until the night it all fell apart. All of his dreams, his reality shattered. Who was she? Did she lie? Was any of it real? Ms O’Flynn does it again. Adding to a series of books each a standalone but a read so good it will have you flipping from the first page. Nothing s what it seems and everyone is suspect. They all have secrets and he’s gonna have to dig through them all to get to the truth. This author gives us a story which will twist you inside and out and leave you spinning. When you think you have it figured out she will flip the script again. I love this author’s books and her characters. You don’t know if the one you love is the one who is the good/bad guy til it’s over.
Edward Petrosky joined the Ash Park police to keep from having to go in the military and to help fight off his own demons. He and Heather, his fiance, are good for each other, even though each one have they’re own past issues. Then one night Edward gets a routine call that shatters his world. He sees Heather’s body all bloody and in the snow. He is ordered to stay away from this case, but things are not adding up for him. Then there is another murder. Edward is sure there is a serial killer on the loose and the detectives are ignoring the connections between the two murders. There is also priest that knows more about these killings than he really should. Edward has a decision to make, go against his orders of staying out of it, or getting justice for Heather. Either way, it will be a fight for Edward and one he is not willing to lose!
