Devil’s Claw: A Logan McKenna Mystery/Thriller Book 3 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Logan’s daughter, Amy, is home from her travels in Africa. She’s home because she is receiving treatment for and recovering from malaria. She’s under strict orders to get as much rest as possible. Liam, Amy’s boyfriend, is taking the doctor’s orders very seriously and monitoring Amy’s progress hourly.

The sea otter center, which is fairly new, receives a new sea otter pup after Logan and Amy find it trapped in some seaweed while on a walk one day. Eager to learn more about the habits of sea otters, Amy volunteers, along with several of her friends, to help nurse the otter back to health.

A snag has come up in the sea otter center though as another person has come up claiming rights to the property. There is a lot of legal battling going on, and then a break-in, some injuries, and a murder. What has Logan gotten herself into this time?

I enjoyed this story and it kept me engaged. This one was a bit more emotional for me because of the situations within the story. I continue to look forward to reading more of this series.

Whisper Creek by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Logan just can’t stay out of trouble

We start book 7 with Logan going viral with several of her compositions on her violin being put together online on a video and it goes absolutely viral. She’s shocked and it rocks her confidence in her decision to marry Ben who finally proposed, how will money effect their relationship?

Logan goes out of town to Whisper Creek for a consulting gig to help at New school who she’s always refused to sign on full time for. She meets up with a few friends and comes across Monica, a woman no one likes and she’s played her husband and step son really dirty, but when Logan finds her dead and the questions start it doesn’t matter who Monica was but who killed her. The police think they know and Logan knows they are wrong and has to figure it out before a friend ends up charged with a murder she’s sure they didn’t have any part of.

Well done suspense again! Poor Logan needs a vacation from all this drama!

Whoa! Another nail biter, twist and turns with lots of guessing. Strong characters, with a great storyline. These books can be stand alone or read as the series. I highly recommend reading them as a series because you get a deeper understanding of the characters.

Forest Park: Logan Book 2 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book takes place about 6 months after the end of Shattered: Logan Book 1. Logan is still trying to wrap her brain around the events of the last 6 months, as well as prepare for the upcoming school year. Before school starts though, Logan takes a trip to Portland. While there, her favorite food truck is attacked and a murder takes place. There are a few suspects, all of whom Logan feels are innocent and she’ll do what she can to clear their names.

This book has a lot of repetition throughout, which I found a little annoying. Because of that, there are parts of this book that drag along. However, if this is the first book that’s been picked up in this series, the reader should be ok as their is enough background given (sometimes repetitively) that no losses will take place. This book was also classified as a thriller. I would say more of a crime-mystery but I wouldn’t go so far as to say thriller. It was an enjoyable read and I’ll continue on with this series.

4 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Logan McKenna is back in Whisper Creek, Book 7 in this series. While this book could be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading this series in order. Suspense, intrigue, danger, murder with twists and turns….I enjoyed this story and already looking forward to more in this series.

Logan is now tasked when one of her friends is a suspect in a murder, to find out the cold hard truth. The police feel like they already may know whom the killer is…..but Logan needs to investigate more, figure out the pieces….as the victim was not very well liked. When there are four suspects possibly…its gets a bit twisty. So many accusations and lies floating around, who do you believe?

Great story and hard to put down…..

Swindler’s Revenge
By: Ellen Butler

I have been a fan of every last one of the Karina Cardinal mysteries. But let me tell you that this book has definitely become one of my favorites. It takes the mystery, suspense, and political intrigue that I have come to expect and really ups it by making it hit close to home for Karina. This time its the FBI who are involved, but she is being accused of harboring a fugitive. Also known as her ex-boyfriend. Who she is definitely not hiding, but who also is accused of taking off with over a million dollars. However, this doesn’t fit anything she knows about her ex-boyfriend. So either, she didn’t know him like she thought she did, he has lost his mind or there is something else going on. Of course, Karina needs to begin to start this out for herself because not only is her name attached, but also none of this is making any sense. So she jumps head first into another case that kept me reading long into the night. I cannot recommend this or the other Karina Cardinal books enough. I love every page and the characters are all so interesting and really add so much depth to the plot – they keep the plot moving. Definitely pick up this book!

Pharaoh’s Forgery: Karina Goes on Vacation by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pharoah’s Forgery
By: Ellen Butler

I truly feel that each and every Karina Cardinal book gets better than the last. I have found that she has become one of my favorite main characters. She is strong and independent and all in all just a really relatable character. In this book, the setting is moved away from Washington, DC and the United States. This move makes the focus of the book shift – previously each of these book had to do with U.S. government and politics, however, now this book is much more focused on ancient things. This gives the book a refreshing makeover that really made the experience even better. This book gives us better looks at characters that were mentioned in previous books but really gives us a good feel for them – like Mrs. Thundermuffin and Rodrigo. It was really great to get to know these characters in a different light.

The Karina Cardinal Series is really an excellent mystery series that is filled with suspense and twists and turns. Each book is a standalone, however, I highly suggest reading each one, as it is a fantastic read but also because there is some character crossover between books. I definitely suggest picking this one up!

Diamonds and Deception
By: Ellen Butler

This is the third book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery story. Although it is the third book in the series I think it is important to note that it can definitely function as a standalone. You could miss the earlier books and not be lost at all. I do recommend reading them all, just because each and everyone that I have read so far have been fantastic reads that I highly recommend. It contains all of my favorite elements in a mystery – drama, danger, action, suspense.
Katrina Cardinal is such a great character. She is multi-layered and helps to drive the plot a rate that had me not wanting to walk away from my book. She is a lawyer who is now a lobbyist in Washington D.C. This gives her all the qualities you would expect – especially for the lead character in a mystery series – she’s smart, independent and hard working. Her sister reaches out to her to help her with a friend. And this leads them both wondering what they have been pulled into as nothing is as they originally thought.
This book is absolutely fantastic. I love the characters and how fast paced the plot is. This mystery is definitely original. I cannot wait to read more from Karina Karina Cardinal. Definitely pick this book up!

Fatal Legislation by Ellen Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fatal Legislation
By: Ellen Butler

This is the second book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery Series. This is a fantastic political mystery the features action, suspense, drama and of course, an FBI investigation. This book is a complete page turner that definitely is intense at parts and really sucked me in.
Karina Cardinal is a lawyer who is not working as a lobbyist. She has a new boyfriend who is also an FBI agent. Karina is in the wrong place and the wrong time and ends up being a a person of interest in a murder investigation. Karina is determined to not only prove her innocence but also find out what is going on. She doesn’t want to become the next victim.
These characters are amazingly well written – they have flaws and depth to them. They really seem like 3 dimensional people, not just characters on a page. And the story is told with such craftsmanship. As much as the story kept me on the edge of my seat – I wanted to solve the mystery before Karina did – I also didn’t want it to end. I definitely recommend reading this book – it will not disappoint!

Isabella’s Painting
By: Ellen Butler

This is a fantastic fast paced mystery. This book introduces us to Karina Cardinal who is just at the wrong place at the right time to put her in the middle of a mystery. Karina is a fantastically well written character who drives the plot (which happens to be based on a real life mystery). This story sucked me in from the first page and it really delivered. This author gives enough detail to make you feel like you are there but not so much that it bogs down the plot of the story.
I definitely recommend this story and I cannot wait to read more by Ellen Butler.

Whisper Creek by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 7th book in the Logan McKenna mystery series. Even though it’s part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone novel.
Whisper Creek is set in small coastal town of Depoe Bay, Oregon. The way the scenes are written, I can see the setting in my head and can feel myself there on the Oregon coast. If you like strong female leads, a page-turning plot, and twisted endings, then you’ll love this suspenseful novel! I have read all of the books in this series and this one doesn’t disappoint!

Shattered: Logan Book 1 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Logan is still recovering from the loss of her husband. Her year of teaching has gone really great, up until the last day when a note is left on her desk that has her questioning her teaching future. Nevermind that for now, though. It’s summer vacation and she’s going to help her friends with their booth at a summer festival. While there, she gets to meet and experience some of the life of a glassblower. It’s only when her friend Thomas is accused of murder that she dives deeper into the world of glassblowing to try to clear her friend’s name.

This book is mysterious and held my attention, making it difficult to put down for any length of time. I wasn’t overly surprised as to “whodunit” but it did take me a bit to put two and two together. I enjoyed this story and the writing style and look forward to more in this series!

Shattered: Logan Book 1 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this book we are introduced to Logan McKenna and the recent activities of her life. Her life recently seems to be falling apart. Logan recently lost her husband in a car accident a couple of years ago and is put into the position of having to sell the business that she and her husband built. Since the sale of her business, Logan finds herself being called into being a teacher, everything seems to be going great until she is accused of helping her students cheat. Logan is appalled because she can’t help that she is such a great teacher, and her students are excelling on the standardized tests. Now Logan is a position that has her job on the line. Logan moves to California in hopes that maybe reconnecting with an important part of her past life might help her on her journey to rediscovering who she is.
Everything is going well, until a body is found, and her friend is being considered as a person of interest. Logan now has something to do that will help her try to forget everything that has been going wrong for her.
I loved this story and the amount of detail that Valerie put into Logan and her story. I am impatiently waiting to see what happens to Logan next and to see if she continues to find herself in unique murder mysteries.

Lies That Bind by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another story with Logan finding herself in the middle of an investigation.
Her guy (Ben) bought a vacation home in Oregon and they stumble across details of the murder of charolette collins. This murder has several hidden details they find when starting to renovate and of course Logan has to get to the bottom of what happened.
I really enjoy Logans strong personality she is a fierce woman and no one gets in her way. This story also took on more dimension than usual with the addition of her half sister to the usual cast in her life. Multi generation family drama and secrets are found and the author Brilliantly shows how trauma can transcend generations and effect people for years to come.
You dont need the other books to understand the plot in this one but I do feel like I understand Logan better with the other books prior.

Forest Park: Logan Book 2 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Forest Park: A Logan McKenna Mystery by Valerie Davisson is book two in the Logan McKenna series, and I personally think that it is just as good as the first book! All Logan is trying to do is figure out what has happened, and why weird stuff keep happening with her around. Logan is just trying to piece her life back together after losing her husband a couple of years before, and it has been an adventure trying to do so! Logan decides to take vacation to Portland Oregon, and she happens to witness an explosion at a food truck and the kicker is that she realizes she knows the deceased. Valerie, our author has a very creative way of explaining in great detail what is going on with our main character and what she is doing. Valerie makes you feel like you are right next to Logan as she tries to go through life. Good job Valerie on writing such awesome books and keep them coming!

Devil’s Claw: Logan Book 3 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What happens when there is a piece of property that is up for grabs, and quite a bit of people are interested in it…. that is the big mystery! Well, that’s what happened with prime real estate spot, Lot 429!
This is the third book in this series and our main character Logan, and her daughter are moving to California and have no idea what kind of adventure is in store for them.
As always, Valerie Davisson writes another great mystery adventure featuring our main character, Logan McKenna. Even though this is the third book of the series, Valerie does not fail to impress me with the detail she has added into the book. Some authors kind of lose you after the first couple of books of a series, but Valerie does not! The book opens with luring you into the story which will make you want to keep reading to uncover the truth and the mystery around the real estate plot 429. Will Logan be able to solve the mystery, save her daughter, save the Sea Otter rescue center, or will everything just continue to fall apart with no end in sight?
If you are looking for a great thrilling read, with its fair share of twists and turns then this is a must read!

Logan and Ben have recently bought a fixer upper vacation home on the Oregon Coast. Things are coming along nicely when she receives an email from her half sister Olivia stating that she would like to meet up while she in town on business for a few days. While anticipating Olivia’s arrival her reporter friend gets a call about a dead body found at The Collins hotel. The deceased is Charlotte “Charlie” Collin, 32 years old and in perfect health. Logan finds herself pulled into this mysterious case for two reasons: firstly the home she recently bought was purchased from the deceased woman’s fiancé. Second: the first time she saw her sister in person was when she was being questioned by police. Was this a suicide or murder? Who would have a reason to kill this young woman? Was it her fiancé or someone unknown?<br />Another great Logan McKenna adventure down. This character attracts trouble almost as soon as she walks out her front door, but her knack for being able to find the ins and outs of a case make up for it. This is one series that I have liked from the start and I hope there are more books to come.

Valerie Davisson is a new to me author and I have caught myself picking up a fantastic sounding book in the middle of a series. Lies that bind drew me in with such an interesting premise from the blurb of the book and it definitely delivered. There is lots of mystery, danger, and Intrigue. I’ve come to understand the main character has had a lot of unfortunate events occur but as I haven’t read the other books in the series I cannot fully attest to this. I also feel like could be read as a stand-alone but the characters continue on from the others books also so they are connected a little bit throughout the series. Lies that bind was engaging, definitely kept me guessing, and it kept me on the edge of my seat. Great read.

Lies That Bind: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 6 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lies That Bind is Book Six in the Logan McKenna Mystery series. It is a crime thriller full of drama, intrigue, action, mystery, and suspense. Although this book can be read as a standalone, I do recommend reading previous books in this series to get Logan’s backstory. Logan’s latest adventure finds her meeting long lost family members, buying a fixer-upper with her boyfriend, and trying to solve a mysterious death. Through a series of confessions and old journals Logan discovers some long-buried secrets that put her life in danger. I loved the characters that were introduced in this book and found each one of them relatable. Of course, Logan remains my favorite because of her strength, determination, and courage in the face of danger. I loved how the author took us back in time throughout the book to a different era. I cannot wait to see what Logan’s next adventure will be!

Lies That Bind: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 6 (Logan McKenna Series)

I seem to stick to the same genre once I have found one I like whether it be books or music, I know what I like and have a hard time trying something out of my norm. This book is definitely out of my norm and I throughly enjoyed it.

It was a little hard for me to keep up sometimes since I was not caught up on the series but it ended up making sense to me in the end.

The murder of Charlie Collins was a fascinating mystery for me. Something bugged the back of my brain until all of the information was revealed. Though I was unable to put it all together I was quite close.

I definitely need to go back and read the earlier books and then this one again to see if it’s different with the full history.

Definitely recommend reading the book and series.

Safe Harbor is Book five in the Logan Mckenna Mystery Series. It is a crime thriller packed with action, mystery, intrigue, loss, angst, and drama. Although this book can be read as a standalone, I do recommend reading previous books in the series to get Logan’s backstory. This time around Logan’s life is going well and she feels content. She goes on vacation with her family to the coast of Oregon and they are having a peaceful, much deserved vacation when a murder takes place in the small community. Suddenly Logan is confronted with her past after becoming the prime suspect in a murder investigation. Not only must Logan try to prove her innocence, but she is faced with having to make a difficult decision. This was yet another fantastic book in this series with great characters and an intriguing storyline. The descriptions of the Oregon coast were vivid and made me feel as though I was there with Logan and her family. Looking forward to the next book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vanishing Day is Book Four in the Logan McKenna Mystery Series. It is a crime thriller with mystery, action, drama, suspense, and intrigue. Although this book could be read as a standalone, I do recommend that previous books in the series be read first in order to know more about Logan and her backstory. This book will leave you on the edge of your seat as Logan is once again facing danger as she tries to help her new neighbor after she was viciously attacked and left for dead. The three-year-old daughter of the young woman was the sole witness to the attack, but it leaves little for the local police to go on. Logan steps in to help the woman and her young daughter but quickly realizes the woman is not who she says she is, and this puts her life in danger, along with that of the woman and her daughter. I love this series and the character of Logan. She is smart, feisty, strong, courageous and determined. This book takes some twists and turns that will have you reading until the end. Looking forward to the next book in this amazing series!
