My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having read the first book in the series I was rather eager to start the next book and I think this my very well be the case for each book ! I get so excited when a book grabs me from the very first moment and it’s even more of a treat when I know it’s a series and there’s more to follow it almost feels like a never needing gift 🤣😉❣️📚

We left Logan at the end of the last book exploring a new relationship and it was good to see how that was developing and there were some tense moments as well , after everything that she’s been through I think a break is in order and she heads to Portland …

While in Portland there’s an explosion at a Vietnamese food truck , Logan knew the the old lady that perished in the explosion and the people who owned the truck and my heart hurt for these people , they’re trying to make a living and survive and then this happens and just to put the cherry on top the police suspect the truck owner 🥲🙈

What I did appreciate and want to commend the author for is how she broached subjects that many see as taboo but she looked at these topics from all angles and different perspectives which in turn made me see things in a different light 🙏

Also fair warning eat before you read this otherwise you’ll be left drooling and craving 🤣🙈

All in all a brilliant read that tick all my boxes 😉

This is book #2. I unfortunately read the series out of order. I really wished I hadn’t but it is what it is. Logan McKenna is visiting Portland for work. She meets several people and of course someone dies, however there is another whole story going on during this one. I kinda of got lost within the stories. I was trying to figure out how they connected and how the title was incorporated into the story. I eventually did understand why the other story was going on and how it connects with the mystery of who killed the victim. What I don’t understand is why Ben’s story hasn’t been told and what her relationship with him has to do with the troubles she finds herself in by being nosy. While I do have many questions, which may or may not be answered, I do know that I couldn’t put this book down until I finished it. There are moments where I got lost and there are moments that are very sad but overall this was a good book. I still want to know more about Ben and his past for some reason.

The beginning does have you very intrigued to keep you reading. The author does really well in providing vivid imagery about the scenery and the characters. It does provide you with a point of view from different characters, sometimes it’s kinda hard to tell when it does shift, I had to think for a minute before I read more. The characters are very well developed. The author does provide some insight on what it was like for Vietnamese especially during and after the Vietnam War.

Forest Park is book two in the Logan McKenna Mystery series. Logan McKenna is back and this time we see things from different perspectives and thoughts of different characters. there was not much transition from one character’s thoughts to another, but I was able to easily follow who it is we are are meant to be in the head of. I enjoyed that sensitive topics were handled well and not shoved into the reader’s faces, and was not presented in a way to come across as lecturing. While this is a continuation from book one (about 6 months after the last book), I think this could easily be read as a standalone. Their are two stories happening in Forest Park. One is dealing with a Vietnamese food truck that was bombed and the other is a homeless veteran with PTSD and it somehow works that both storylines come together smoothly. I wouldnt really say this was much of a mystery, and more of a thriller, but I still enjoyed the story and the way it was presented and I do think the writing, overall, is well done.

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!

I absolutely love how this author makes these books that you could read them as stand alone and not have to read them in order. Event thou there are probably parts that would be clearer if reading the books before, but you won’t feel too lost doing so. This was another great book with Logan and her challenges of being involved in murder and crime. Logan is a strong willed, smart, string, courageous, women and really makes you think she could kick some a** if she had too. This book was filled with suspense, mystery, drama, secrets and so much more, that it kept me intrigued the whole time. I felt like I was constantly on the edge of my seat reading this. Really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to drive into the next one.

Fingers are pointing in all directions that this is murder and all eyes are on Logan’s new friend, Thanh. Will Logan be able to find out who was truly responsible for this act before it is to late…

The second book in the Logan McKenna Series, Forest Park, delivers the same great characters along with some new and lovable faces. I love the introduction of so many unique, diverse characters and the way Valerie Davisson discusses sensitive topics such as homelessness, PTSD, and addiction. She delivers a harsh reality while not becoming overly sentimental or preachy. I did read the first book in the series and believe that, although having some of the back story helped navigate this book, the books could be read as standalone stories. This book seemed to flow a little better than the first and still included amazing world building and descriptive imagination! Davisson paints such a vivid picture in the reader’s mind of the setting in which the story takes place. I can’t wait to read the next book!

Logan goes on vacation to Portland and while she’s there a food truck explodes killing several. What Logan finds out quickly is she knows one of the deceased and it emblazoned her to get to the bottom of what’s happened. The police…. well they seem to be seeking all the wrong answers and are taking too long… are more people going to get hurt?
I love this character. She’s real and down to earth and relatable and this book weaves in other topics such as the struggles of immigrants chasing their American dream and all the ways they may be taken advantage of while following that dream. ON to more adventures with Logan in book 3!

Forest Park
By: Valerie Davisson

This was a fantastic book. This is the second book by Valerie Davisson that I have read as well as the second Logan McKenna book I have read. Each one has been absolutely fantastic. It contains fantastic thriller and mystery elements as well as elements of Women’s Fiction. Valerie Davisson crafts fantastic novels that read quickly and contain a fantastic amount of character development. This book looks ast two stories that surround a mysterious explosion. The first plot line looks at a the Vietnamese family who’s food truck was involved in the explosion. The second looks at a Vietnam vet who is struggling deeply with PTSD. Additionally we have Logan who is involved after witnessing this explosion. This book is absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to continue reading this series. I enjoy Logan McKenna as a protagonist and am loving her development from book to book thus far.

Book two in this series is another cozy mystery. This time, there are several stories woven together beautifully. As with the first in this series, the author adds sensitive real life issues into the story without making them awkward. They feel genuine. The setting was detailed well. You feel like you are actually there. I am looking forward to reading more in the series

After enjoying book 1 in this series I was looking forward to seeing what Logan would be doing in this second book and I wasn’t disappointed. Again the author told an exciting, gripping read which kept me turning the pages. Her writing is engaging and exciting. I really like the main character Logan, she just has something about her that makes you like her instantly. I liked the differing POV’s in the book it meant that the story had more depth to it in my opinion. There were a few sensitive topics within the books but I felt he author dealt with them really well and respectfully.
I can’t wait to see what happens with Logan in the next book!

The Logan McKenna Series has been a great adventure. I hate to admit this but ai started reading these books around book four or five and then read books one through three. All have been great and all can be read individually without needing to read any of the others. I do however highly suggest reading all of them because you will fall in love with the characters. This is book two of this series and we see Logan dipping her toes back into the dating scene having started a new relationship. On a trip to Portland, Oregon she makes a new friend in Than, a Vietnamese vet trying to get back on his feet and owner of a food truck. When an explosion destroys Than’s truck, he is one if the main suspects. Logan is determined to help get him cleared as a suspect and find the true culprit. Not knowing anyone on the force in Portland and not having her normal access to any evidence she is on her own. Who can she trust? Will she be able to find this guy before he strikes again?

In the second book in the Logan McKenna series, the author brings different perspectives of an incident and shows the wide range of characters in the story. I am really enjoying how the perspective of the characters come together to bring better understanding of the crime. There was a lot more action in this book compared to the first book. I again liked Logan’s character and hope we get to understand more of her background.

Valerie, girl! I loved this book! I was hooked on the first book but I absolutely devoured this one! I LOVE when books have different POV’s!!! It’s my favorite. When you can read and feel from other characters, it just makes me that much more connected. And the author has such a gift when she talks about sensitive topics in her stories. One of the many reasons why she’s becoming an author I’m looking up and finding more books of hers! I’m quickly becoming a fan. Highly encourage you to read this!

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: 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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 Stars

Forest Park is the second book in The Logan McKenna Series by Valerie Davisson.
Even though this is only the second book in the series, our leading lady, Logan has been through quite a lot. This book sees her investigating another murder, this time with links to the Vietnam War. Logan will need to sort through all the secrets, half truths, drama, and history- to get to the bottom of it all. We also get a front row seat to her own life as she embraces her own new beginnings.
This is my favourite of the series so far.

Thank you, Valerie Davisson!
