Forest Park: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 2 (The Logan McKenna Series) by Valerie Davisson. From page one I knew I was in for quite the adventure and I love every single minute I got to be lost in this story. It’s got everything I needed for a mystery story. I found myself on the edge of my seat more than once. Trying to balance wanting to read as fast as possible to see what happens next and wanting it to slow down a little because I wanted it to last longer. The characters are complex and relatable, they truly make this story worth every minute you maybe neglecting in the real world. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I love books that can take me by surprise and this author does just that. Excited to see where the author takes readers next. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

Whew!! Petrosky is back and with a bang. I love this guy, even as broken and messed up as he is I love him!

This case made me truly cringe and I’m thinking that is exactly what this author wanted. That part of the story is as usual everything you expect from this author, but the part that has me completely invested is Petrosky fighting his demons every minute of every day. It feels so real and I can almost feel his struggles within myself. This to me makes a good author a Phenomenal author. I never want this series to end and was so so happy to see a #9, but I must admit I can’t wait for it to end so I can sit and read every one of them back to back all over again!

If you have not picked up any of these and you even kind of like this genre, you seriously must read this series. It is in a class of its own and this author can write like nobody’s business and I would put her up against any of the big names you associate with this genre!

Loved It!!

It’s summer, and with a new job, a new life, and plenty of time for her music, life couldn’t be better for Logan McKenna. She and her daughter, Amy, home from Africa, even rescue an orphaned sea otter pup and help nurse it back to health at Jasper’s new Sea Otter Center.

But powerful storm clouds soon begin to swirl around the center, threatening the lives of all who enter it. More than one person lays claim to the property and all want it badly—but for very different reasons.

The murder of someone close to Logan soon exposes deep layers of resentment, greed, and painful, personal loss. Only love, trust, and community will have any chance of stopping the killer, before more lives, including Logan’s own, are lost.

Fans of J.A. Jance, Elly Griffiths, Louise Penny, C. J. Box, James Patterson, Nevada Barr, Sue Grafton, and Alexander McCall Smith will love fiercely independent and loyal Logan McKenna.

This is the second book in the Logan McKenna mystery series. Once again we follow Logan as she decides on a love interest and if it’s too soon to get more series. And as she finds herself in yet another mystery to solve. This book has multiple storylines to follow, sometimes can be confusing but in the end it all comes together. Another good book by this author. I encourage you to read this book as well.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book. It is a little different than I normally read but I am glad I picked it up. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is a well written story that has characters that I had no problems connecting with. They brought the story to life for me and kept me turning pages from the first page. This story is a diary about a woman whose profession is a call girl and she is planning her perfect suicide. As a girl what she wanted to be was an astronaut but what she became instead was a criminal. Now along side of her therapist she is planning her own suicide. I enjoyed watching this character grow throughout the story and how she got to this point in her life. I did feel bad for her in parts because she has had so much trauma in her life. She made a great character and made the story easy to read. I highly recommend this book.

Drifting Falling: Diary of a Call Girl Suicide
By A.J. Ullman
5 out of 5 stars

The book Drifting Falling: Diary of a Call Girl Suicide by A.J. Ullman is a story that pulled me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is the story of a young woman who has suffered through a childhood that included multiple traumas and now finds herself on a course to take her own life. Ripley Astilla Luna is a young woman who has a longing to lift off from Earth and go into space as an astronaut. She has a lot of knowledge about the space program as well as those who are part of it. She is intelligent, beautiful, and haunted by the past. Reading about Ripley had me in tears at times as she relives parts of her past. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time that I was reading it. This is a book in which Ripley takes you with her down a journey in which she has a fierce determination to finish her way. The story has dark moments as well as heartbreaking ones. This is a book that I couldn’t stop thinking about even after I had finished it. There are also the characters of Dan Truscott, Ripley’s psychiatrist, and Mort, Ripley’s only friend. Dan is a character whose actions I at times questioned. Mort is a character that Ripley turns to for support. They both have their part to play in the story and I don’t think that the story would be the same without either of them. The author does an amazing job of making both the storyline and the characters come alive on the pages. It is a book that I would recommend reading.

Let me start by saying, I enjoyed that this book took me back in time to the start of Vietnam and back to present day but I thoroughly enjoyed how it all came to tie together in a smooth way. I love Logan’s inquisitive nature and how she finds herself in these situations to help others. The author makes Logan come off just as human as the women that we are in real life which made me continue reading this second book of this series. I also love a good mystery and suspenseful story as this book was to draw me in as it was written well but the adventure keeps me at a smooth pace as well.

Forest Park: Logan Book 2 (The Logan McKenna Series)Forest Park: Logan Book 2 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Forest Park, really, both books I have read of the Logan McKenna series so far have been the type of storyline you can’t stop thinking about. You know the kind where you finished the dishes so now you feel you should reward yourself with a few more pages?
This series reminds me of one of my favorites from a well known writer. Strong, admirable lead female, fast paced and interesting from start to finish.
One of the things I have come to like best about Valerie Davisson’s writing style is not only the attention to detail but her ability to showcase more than one point of view in the story. While the book is meant to be a mystery, there are a lot of deeper scenarios than just a cat and mouse thriller.
I am fairly new to this author and really look forward to reading more from her. Definitely a 4 star, recommended read from me.

Forest Park: Logan Book 2 (The Logan McKenna Series)Forest Park: Logan Book 2 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book two in Davisson’s ‘The Logan McKenna Series’ and widowed Logan McKenna returns investigating another crime to help out friends. It can be read as a standalone story although if read in order the reader has more of an understanding of Logan’s backstory. This is an exciting story which has a fast paced storyline and I was hooked from the start. Logan is staying at a hotel in downtown Portland, Oregon when a violent explosion rocks the town and results in a women’s death. The incident has links to the last days during the Vietnam War and the choices made at that time, now those that ‘cheated death’ during the war are under threat. When Logan realises that the police are investigating the wrong suspects she undertakes her own investigations especially as two of her friends are on the polices suspect list. A homeless vet is also under suspicion and Logan has to uncover the truth amongst the secrets and lies to discover if any of them are innocent. Meanwhile Logan experiences an explosion of her own in regards to her personal life. No Spoilers, as I recommend you loose your self in this book. I felt totally immersed in the the story and enjoyed being back investigating with Logan, who is an independent and loyal heroine of the series. Logan McKenna is a very likeable and relatable character who holds the storyline together well. I found this to be a page turner of a novel, a real crime, thriller, murder mystery, and one which had me hooked from page one until the very last page.

Forest Park: Logan Book 2 (The Logan McKenna Series)Forest Park: Logan Book 2 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Forest Park is the second book in Valerie Davisson’s Logan McKenna series. I read the first book and I was sort of on the fence about it. When I finished the first book I said to myself that I am open to giving Logan another try and maybe it was my expectations that got the best of me so I did what I had told myself to do and picked up the second book of the series.
The opening scene in Vietnam in 1975 piqued my interest. I have always felt drawn to the stories that have something to do with Vietnam war so I was thinking to myself “interesting, let’s see what it has to do with Portland, Oregon in the present time”… Next we jump into the Valentine’s Day of 2014 and Logan is ready to take her relationship of six months to another level but Ben never makes it … as she is already in Portland then she gets a meal from the Vietnamese food truck and checks into the hotel … next there is an explosion and the old Vietnamese woman who she bought her meal from is no longer alive … Logan feels that she needs to get involved to find out what happened …
So this is sort of the baseline for the story and it could have been pretty good … the only thing is that there were way too many point of views that the writer jumped among and at some point I had to ask myself who was xxx and where does that person come in … the other thing that really messed with me was Logan’s obsession with her weight … ok, I get it is so important here in the US for some reason but it just felt at time way over the top, even the cats weight was something that was written the way that it caught my eye …
I mean the murder gets solved, not really with Logan’s help and the way …. Well … there are some great relationships and moments that took me where I expect great books to take me and that is the reason I do give the story 3 stars and feel that one could take a chance and read the story, just take your time and modify your expectations and you will experience some great moments!

The Lightning Horse (Empire at Twilight, #1)The Lightning Horse by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Lightning Horse by N.L. Holmes is the first book in the Empire at Twilight series. This is a brilliant historical fiction book that really made the pages come alive. I didn’t really know what to expect when I started this book but knew that I was intrigued by the description. I never expected to be transported to an ancient time and pulled into a story that I honestly couldn’t put down.
The author has done an amazing job with this book – I could so easily picture everything she was describing as if I were right there in the story. It really helped to give a sense as to what this time period would have felt like. I loved the political aspect to it – the plot against the King, the mission to uncover it all – but I also really liked the more pulled back, family aspect. It gave an additional level to the book that for me really made it what it is.
If you love this genre, or even if you just want something new, then I would definitely recommend reading this book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in this series. I loved it from beginning to end. I highly suggest reading all the books in this series, they are really great. This is a well developed story that has twists and turns that left me turning pages fast. The characters made the story not only easy to read but also made it feel realistic. Valerie’s past is about to come crashing into the present with just one phone call. Life as she knows it, is about to change. As things get more messed up, she doesn’t know who to trust and trusting is getting less and less. She is out to hold Dr. Chad Ross accountable for his actions against her. Will things stay the same or will they see the changes coming? I loved Valerie’s character as I felt bad for her in parts and she has no one to trust as friends became less. She is strong and made the story for me. I highly recommend this book and this author.

The book Accountability (Scope of Practice Book 3) by Jessica Aiken-Hall is a story that had me hooked from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. The series is one that I have enjoyed reading since the first book. The story is suspenseful and had me turning pages to find out what happens next.

Will the bonds between Valerie and those she loves be strong enough to endure all the changes to come? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. Valerie is a very complex character. She is strong, independent, and cares about others. She also has a sense of justice. There are also many other characters that I enjoyed reading about the part that they play in the story. Some of them are ones that have been brought forward in each of the three books in the series. The author does a wonderful job of bringing to life both the storyline and the characters. This is a series that should be read in order as each one builds on the next. Don’t miss out on the next story in an intriguing series that you will not soon forget. I highly recommend it.

This is the second book in the Logan McKenna series. It is a gripping story once you get into it. It takes a while to get going but its well worth sticking with it. There are some sensitive topics in this book which the author writes about in a sensitive and caring manner.

When there is an explosion near to the hotel Logan is staying out there are several suspects including two of her new friends.

As Logan tries to get to the bottom of what happened she finds she has a hard time knowing who to trust. Are her new friends trustworthy or are they lying to her? Who can and should Logan trust?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Forest Park: Logan Book 2 is the second book in this series which follows the life of Logan Mckenna’s life through her job as a school teacher and a part time sleuth.

The story is full of mystery and drama with Logan waiting for her new boyfriend to arrive at the hotel they have booked for their first interment moment but when she receives the phone call that he has to postpone the trip she carries on and books into the hotel room. Upon the day she meets a food truck owner and someone from there family while talking to them she strikes up a bond of sorts.

Back in her room she hears a boom and finds out that the truck has been blown up and the women who she met has been murdered. With her new found friendship she decides to investigate the murder which uncovers things from the past which the family wants keeped hidden.

This is the second book by this author I have read and the second book in this series, I enjoy the topics which have been chosen to be explored but the multiply POV’s sometimes gets a bit messy within chapters and sometimes within the same paragraphs which can get a little confusing and somehow dilutes the story. Within the story I don’t fully get the character of Logan at times I am rooting for her one minute but other times she gets a little annoying.

The story as I said itself is intriguing and draws you into the thriller and mystery aspect of the book, the story is well written and flows well. I am looking forward to reading the next book and see if Logan can get her lovelife back on track and what next adventure she can delve into.

The Lightning Horse (Empire at Twilight, #1)The Lightning Horse by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh, how I loved this book. I love historic fiction. I loved Troy by David Gemmell, and all Rick Riordan books. Any historic fiction entices me because more than the plot and the characters itself, it gives an insight into a culture which existed and flourished centuries before our times. We understand their way of living, their beliefs, their traditions, customs, rituals and their practices. There are many who attempt to write historic fiction, but despite having the setting, their plot gets lost in the complex shades of the characters. This book does not fail in that aspect. Though the characters are in plenty and each character has multiple layers, the background runs concurrently to paint the Hittite empire, present day-Turkey vividly to the eyes of the reader.
It was a little difficult to remember the characters (there are many), the king, his many wives, his offspring and other descendants of the royal family. The story revolves around a charioteer who seeks to solve the mystery behind the accident of his father. What is visible to the eye is not always the truth. The truth is hidden deep under layers and layers of treachery and deceit. The mystery runs through out the book, it is hard to suspect the culprit till the very end.
Overall, for historic fiction fans like me, it is a great read !

Forest Park is the second book in the Logan McKenna Mystery series by Valerie Davisson. This is a great series and I recommend you read the series in order because the first book is a really excellent read. That being said you could read this book as a standalone and will know what is going on. This story gripped me from the very beginning and I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. The storyline is very detailed and the characters are well defined and relatable. The author deals with sensitive subject matter and does a good job with it. Thisis a great series that I highly recommend. I can’t wait to read the next book inthis series.

This is a much better story than that last one. I still struggled with too much descriptive narration. The story runs pretty slow in the beginning then really picked up during the last forty percent. The characters are good and I particularly enjoyed the part with the characters from Saigon. As well as GI Joes thoughts and struggles. I think they are my favorite characters in the story. I still struggled to connect with Logan. I think she is just so unassuming that’s it’s hard to think of her as a solver of mysteries. I think it was mentioned in here that she is just nosy. I would agree with that assessment. I did like her outlook on the school work.
Overall it’s a nice story.

I’ve read most of the book now in this series and I think this is definitely my favourite by far! Wow what a read! I think to keep a series going this long is such an achievement and it honestly just keeps getting better and better. The twists and turns in the story definitely kept me on the edge of seat the whole way through – this one was such an exciting read! I love Petrosky, he’s such an interesting character to read about and I have thoroughly enjoyed following him as he solves all of these cases. The authors writing is style is excellent, really engaging and the stories flow really well. I am so excited to read more from Ms Flynn again in the future and I highly recommend this book and series!

In this second book following Logan, she is in the area when an explosion happens and of course wants to help.
I was hooked to the pages waiting for what was coming next and this didn’t disappoint. I’m not a huge fan of multi pov’s especially when they aren’t told who it is so that took some getting over for me but it didn’t take away from the story that much. I love the details, I feel everything come alive in my head. Not giving things away as I feel stories are best told where they belong, in the story.
I can’t wait to read the third book.

True Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #4)True Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book. This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite yet. This is the fourth book in the Dark Sparrow series. I highly suggest reading all the books in this series as they are that good. This author writes with a lot of heart and steam. Her attention to details are great and character development makes them connectable. This story is full of action and steamy romance. It is a fast paced story that is easy to read and kept me turning pages to the end. This is a story about Liam. He has one goal and that is to take his father down and make him pay for all his wrongs. Catriona is a nun and knows her numbers. They are put together to go over Liam’s father’s financial records. Liam finds himself attracted to her, not only that but he is forced to face his emotional scars. What he thought was the right thing to do may not be but she may hold the answers for him. How far is he ready to go to keep her safe and make her his? This is a really great story that I had a hard time putting down. Liam and Catriona kept the story moving and they made great characters that I fell in love with. This made a great afternoon read and I highly recommend this book.

Call me a broken record but this series gets better with every book. Just when you think Petrosky has been through enough, here comes another killer to laugh in his face. These stories keep me hooked to the pages to know what happens next. This authors writing style is what keeps you coming back for more. Absolutely enjoyed this story

I really enjoyed reading Forest Park: A Logan McKenna Mystery book 2. Valerie Davisson has such attention to detail which makes this book enjoyable. This book Logan finds herself in Portland with new friends and an explosion happens. Logan wants to help with the investigation. I have to admit that I did not see that coming. Davisson wrote some big twists and turns that kept my attention. I thought I knew what I was going to happen and BAM there was a twist. I was going through everything with Logan. Will Logan be able to solve the mystery in time? The other characters make the story go forward. You will have to read the story to figure out what everyone goes through and what happened with the explosion.
