“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 Novella by Meghan O’Flynn is where it all started; Where we find out just what makes Petrosky who he is in the follow books in the series that are both enthralling and compelling. The Ash Park series is dark in nature as it follows the life of cops and detectives as they race against time to bring killers in and justice for the victims. Meghan is very good at these types of stories and they wouldn’t be the stories they are without the twist and turns she throws your way that you certainly don’t see coming until you are right on top of them. It shows a humanity at its worst. It shows Petrosky’s journey through love and hate, pain and doubts, but nothing is better than finding the truth and vengeance for the one you loved and lost far to soon. It was great to see why he became who he did.

Four Stars
This is the beginning of all the madness. We find out how Petrosky ticks. You will finally understand him a little better. The romance in this story was interesting. It wasn’t a slow burn or something quick. It was simple and uncomplicated. The author did an amazing job building you up to let you down. The story was easy to follow and a quick read. Heather made me wonder about her the whole time. The details were too few and plain. There were no witnesses and no family to push for justice. Overall this is a great start. The mystery surrounding everyone keeps you hooked into the story. You want to find out what happened and why. That’s the authors secret weapon.

A back story to Ed Petrosky! I have loved the whole series and needed to know the start of all of this for Ed and this book helped a ton with that but also gave one heck of a story.
The writing style of this author just hooks you and you have to keep reading, its that addicting!
I shouldn’t be surprised that I enjoyed reading Salvation by Meghan O’Flynn. I have fallen in love with every single on of the books in this series, every character that has been introduced and every single plot line and twist. So, to say that I was excited to see Petrosky’s story, and how he came to be – is putting it mildly. I love that like with the other books, I couldn’t help but feeling the thrill in reading this book, or having to sit on the edge of my seat. I love that I wasn’t disappointed with this book, and am glad to say that like with the others – it’s a 5 Star book as well!!
Salvation:An Ash Park Prequel Novella was a great 5 star read.
Ed is a patrol officer who meets Heather during a prostitution sting. There was something about her that tugged at his heart strings and he ended up falling in love with her.
While out on patrol one night Ed’s whole world gets turned upside down. They come across some men covered in blood, when they search for a victim Ed is shocked at who they find, Heather. Her lifeless body brings Ed to his knees, my heart just broke for him at that moment.
Ed has so many unanswered questions and when another body shows up with some similar connections to Heather things get interesting. Will Ed risk his career to find the killer(s)? Will he get justice for the victims?
Overall this was a great edge of your seat thrilling read. My emotions were all over the place and my heart went out to Ed and the emotions he went through. I had so many thoughts on who the killer could be, I love books that keep you guessing at every turn. All the secondary characters were great. Meghan O’Flynn does a great job of pulling you in with her writing, I look forward to reading more from her.

I have read all the books in the Ash Park series and they were wonderful twisted stories. I was so excited when this one came out, and I’m glad to know I wasn’t disappointed. The author did another amazing job weaving suspense into her story and I loved getting to know Petrosky better. This book gave me more backstory into the horrific and heartbreaking things that Petrosky has been through and what makes him who he has become. I was sucked into this story from the beginning and on the edge if my seat throughout. The ending completely caught me off guard and I wouldn’t expect anything less from this exceptional author.

We are taken on a journey of discovery when Ed’s girlfriend, Heather is murdered. The other detectives in the office thinks that she is not worthy of figuring out what happened to her but Ed can’t get the bloody images out of his dreams.

Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella by Megan O’Flynn
5 out of 5 Stars
Edward Petrosky, this man. I swear. Every time I hear his name, little tears start to prick my eyes. This Novella is the back story of Edward. Edward joins the Ash Park Police Force to keep from having to join the military. Too many personal demons to face in the military.
One night, working his normal routine at the station. Petrosky gets a call that rocks his world. His fiance, Heather, is found bloody and dead in the snow and he is powerless to do anything for the case. Ordered to say away from the case, Petrosky finds himself slipping away.
When additional murders occurs, Petrosky is convinced there is a serial killer on the loose and the Ash Park Police Department is missing the connection between all of them.
Edward has a decision to make. Either stay the good solder, keep his head down and maintain the beat, or go against orders, track down the leads, stop the killer and get justice for Heather.
I am so glad I read this book. I have loved this character and I wanted to know more about it. A total 5 Star Book!
Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella (Ash Park, #0.5)
By Meghan O’Flynn
Rated 5 stars
This is a story of Ed Petrosky before he became a detective. His life was normal and he was happy…yes happy. Hard to imagine if you have read the other Ash Park novels. Anyway we learn some about why he is the way he becomes. Straight to the point, hard and a giver of no-Sh**. I enjoyed reading the look into Ed previous life.
The writing is smooth and as usual I was drawn to the story. The characters are smart and unforgiving. I struggled to figure out this “who-dunnit” so that is always a happy surprise for me when reading her stories.
Even though it’s a Novella..the author doesn’t skimp on the mystery or suspense. This can be read as a stand alone. I have read all the Ash Park novels and still couldn’t figure out this one!
Reading the Ash Park novels throughout 2018 was the favorite times of my dark twisted little thriller heart. Each and every one was a dirty little secret desire that I devoured and enjoyed way too much. In fact, all of Megan O’ Flynn’s novels do that to me actually. I can always count on her when I need a good twisty dark read.
Now with every book Of her Ash Park series I have left a glowing review saying how flabbergasted I was this woman could top the crazy and the great that was the book before it, but she delivered time and time again, and I was heartbroken when I thought it may have come to an end for the Ash Park stories. So to say I was excited when I saw Salvation pop up on my feed would simply be an understatement. I devoured this packed full 161 page novella in just a few short hours and was left dying for a reread of the the series again! LOL! If you haven’t gone and read them yet, do so, you won’t be disappointed!!
Salvation gives us the up close and personal, the nitty gritty, on Detective Edward Petrosky. He was always a favorite of mine throughout the series but seemed to leave a lot of unanswered questions about why he was the way he was… Well no more questions yall. O’Flynn gives and gives and twists the knife ever so perfectly. Of course I am not going to give to juicy gory details, for those you will have to one-click and devour this gem for yourself. You will fall in love I am sure and find yourself hooked! Thank you for this fantastic series Ms. O’Flynn! I can’t wait to see what will come next from you!!
So thrilling that I can’t wait to read more! Salvation is the Prequel novella to the Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. Now, I read the series prior to reading this novella and it explains so much! This prequel is based on Edward Petrosky. Petrosky is the lead detective in the Ash Park serial killings, only this time it’s about him. His wife is found dead and he is on the one who finds her. We also learn about his reasoning’s for joining the police force. Being former military, it can be difficult to unsee things. We learn quite a bit about Detective Petrosky throughout the series but this really sums him up and at the same time sets up the series. This novella give us a basis for why he is the way he is and why he fights so hard to find out who the Ash Park Serial Killer is.
The Ash Park Series had to start somewhere. The Ed Petrosky we know and love had to be shaped by something in his past. Salvation explains how Ed came to be. Salvation keeps you guessing as to where and who the evil really is.
O’Flynn is a master of storytelling. My go to genre is usually romance, however, when-ever there’s an Ash Park story I am there, ready to read. Ed Petrosky is my favorite detective character.
This story is a quick read. Action packed from the start to the finish. I highly recommend this story and this entire series.
Salvation: An Ash Park Prequel Novella (Ash Park 0.5) by Meghan O’Flynn was a nail biting, suspenseful, heart pounding thriller that, had me on the edge of my seat.
Not my first read from this author or in this series. In truth I have read every book in this series, so needless to say when I saw this one I snached it up in a heartbeat. This book takes place well before the main series, so I do suggest reading this first as it will give you a better understand of the lead MC, Petrosky.
Like the others book in this series, Salvation was well written, detailed and emotional. I got to know Petrosky’s character very well from the main series, and it was exciting to read about the before. Before he was broken, and before he lost his child that led to his spiral into self hate, alcohol and depression. This book paints that before, as well as the beginning of this multi layered character’s downfall.
Overall this book was everything I was hoping it to be and more. Meghan O’Flynn is truly talented at making your skin crawl and smashing your heart into a million pieces. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval that you will be holding your breath as well as, holding onto your shattering heart.
Happy Reading

Having read some of the others books in this series and then Salvation I have to say it absolutely sets the story! I didn’t mind that I read this book after the others because it really was a brilliant read. The author has a really great engaging writing style that pulls you in straight away. I loved finding out a little bit more about Ed too and I think it helped me appreciate him more when thinking about him in the other books in the series. If you have read any of the books in this series then this is a must read and if you haven’t then absolutely start with this book first – the author sets a suspenseful scene with Salvation! It is only a short read but it is jammed packed full of action, suspense and mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and recommend it 100%!!
