About this ebook

Dark, gritty, and raw, Famished is an emotional roller coaster and an electrifying debut from bestselling author Meghan O’Flynn. Famished is the second book in the Ash Park series, though all novels in the Ash Park world can be read as standalones. If you like Chelsea Cain, Teresa Driscoll, or Kendra Elliot, you’ll love Famished.

A macabre poem scrawled in blood. A girl with a secret. And a ruthless killer who’ll stop at nothing to find her.

"Thrilling, emotional, and depraved, with twists and turns you don't see coming."

~Bestselling Author Kristen Mae

 

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.

Ratings and reviews

This was a great in terms of the mystery with several plot twists that kept me reading despite other issues and guessing who did it. I actually talked myself out of my first, accurate guess. So, I gave this 2 stars instead of only 1. If the mystery is the most important part of a book to you, stop reading my review. My low rating is due to the fact that the protagonist wasn't sympathetic enough. The final twist, and the way it ended, really made me want to rate it 1 star.

I was hardly able to get it started. Too many people & details too fast as if we were already familiar with the characters. Details without context to know how many bodies were at the crime scene. One girl's name I don't think had anything to do with the scene but again not enough story to pick up on the significance.

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.
