Lost and Found (Logan McKenna Mystery Book 9) by Valerie Davisson – Review by Barbara Bohls

Lost and Found: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 9 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 9 in the series and can be read as a stand alone book. This whole series is made so you can enjoy reading them in order (for deeper character development) or to read them by themselves. You won’t feel like you are missing anything by reading them out of order or as a stand alone. I am reading each book in the series and I am remind them quicker and quicker with each book. The twists that each book takes is amazing and the character growth is par to none. I like reading about a string female that goes after what she wants and is shown as a protector of those she loves. This books mystery is a kidnapping. As you can expect from this author the scenes feel like they are jumping off the pages and you are watching a movie instead of reading a book. I am not normally a mystery/thriller reader but this series is really good. I found myself trying to solve the mystery with the characters and seeing if what I thought happened really happened. I am not so great at the solving of things but am loving the twists and turns that this book takes. If you have an afternoon to just get lost into a complete mystery that will have y0u second guessing yourself, this is the book for you.

Whisper Creek (Logan McKenna Mystery Book 7) by Valerie Davisson – Review by Barbara Bohls

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

Book 7 in the Logan McKenna Series is just as amazing as book one. You don’t need to read every book in the series and you can start at any book you want. However, once you read one of these books you will be going to read them all. The crazy twists and turns that this book takes will leave you on the edge of your seat till the very end of the book. Just when I thought I was starting to figure out who did what, I was so wrong. I didn’t see the twist coming and that is what really made this book amazing. I love being able to be surprised. Having read the other books int he series, I was really starting to wonder if/when things where going to start repeating themselves. That has NOT happened yet. Logan’s character in this series grows from book to book. She is amazing at what she does and how she just dives into every mystery. She is a supportive friend and very protective of those she loves. This book had me turning pages almost faster than I could read them. I needed to know what happened and then I hit the twist in the book and I didn’t put it down. If you feel like you could be a detective or solve crimes this series is for you. You will constantly be trying to figure out right along with the characters. I can’t wait for the next one.

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

This book is the 6th in the series and it does not disappoint. The imagery that I have come to love from this author is in full force in this book. Every book in this series can be read as a stand alone but I HIGHLY stress that you read them in order because they are amazing. You will also see the amazing character growth that the author does with Logan. She has bought a house with her significant other and they are working on fixing it up. Then she is meeting her half sister. Then a murder happens. Logan finds herself digging in again. The thing that blows me away is that all of this is happening at the same time. Logan does not live a dull life and she is such a strong female character that I am not used to reading about. I love it. I love that as a reader I am able to follow her journey through things. These books do not disappoint and keeps me turning pages to see what is going to happen. Will she get along with her half-sister, will she be able to solve this murder, will she fix her house up. Its just amazing to me to see how Logan handles everything in her life and still continues to live her life. I am excited to jump into the next book to see what happens with Logan and how bad a$$ she is going to be.

Safe Harbor (Logan McKenna Series Book 5) by Valerie Davisson – Review by Barbara Bohls

November 11, 2023/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Barbara Bohls

SAFE HARBOR: Logan Book 5 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am just blown away by the way the author is able to describe the scenes in this book. It makes it feel like you are watching a movie or are even in the book yourself. That being said this is the 5th book in the series and each book can be read as a stand alone. I would recommend reading them from the beginning because you are able to see the growth of the main character, Logan. This book takes us to a vacation that Logan, her boyfriend, and adult daughter go on. Personally speaking, I am now wanting to go on a vacation. Maybe, without the mystery in the book but it would definitely make things a little more exciting. This book was a quick read because I just didn’t put it down. I kept turning pages to see what was going to happen and who did what. It is always interesting to see how Logan get involved in all of these adventures. She by any means does not lead a dull life. If you are looking for a quick escape that will have you thinking you could solve any mystery thrown at you, this is your series.

Vanishing Day: A Logan McKenna Mystery/Thriller Logan Book 4 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 4 in the series. This book can be read as a stand alone and you won’t feel as if you have missed anything. Each book has their own adventure/mystery. I would recommend reading them in order though, because you get the whole depth of the character development that happens in the stories. Plus each adventure/mystery is amazing and you don’t want to miss anything that happens. Each book deals with someone in the main characters life. This one is her neighbor. This books deals with domestic abuse. Her neighbor has been in hiding and then is found but the main character gets involved in the danger because she might know something. This book had me turning pages to see what was going to happen, who was going to do what, how was this going to end. These thing kept my attention and had me finishing the book in record time. I have noticed that, I am reading each book in this series faster than the last and I am so excited to be able to go straight to the next one. You will find yourself getting submerged into the plot and actually for a but I thought I could be a detective and figure things out. These feelings that you get when reading this book is what us going to make you want to read the next.

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

We are in the third book of this series and they just keep getting better. I know that sounds like what everyone is writing but it is true. There is more background information given in this book than the last but it doesn’t feel as though you are reading the same thing again if you have read the other books in the series. If you haven’t and are just starting with this book it will give you some insight as to what the characters are going through and what has happened. I like that the author does this so anyone can start the series with any book. However, I feel like to get the most out of each book starting at the beginning would be the best to get everything you can out of it. In this book we get to know the main characters daughter. We also get to know sea otters. I know weird but it works in this book and actually really gave me some emotions I was not expecting in this book. There is the adventure and mystery that I have come to love with this author and this series. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I am loving to see what happens next and what adventures/mysteries we will go on in each book.

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

This is the second book in the series and it is better than the first. I feel like this will be a common theme with these books. I was excited to see what adventure we would get in this book. I was not disappointed by any means. An explosion, what a way to create some drama and mystery. Then the author adds in another element of the Vet. It is like getting two stories in one but the way the author has merged them is flawless. It is amazing. This book grips you from the start. It is written so well that you actually connect with the main character. She is amazing and I am not sure anyone can resist liking her. This book has it all the mystery, the multiple points of view, excitement, and has you turning pages as fast as you can. This series just flies off the pages and I can’t wait to see what happens next. That said there is amazing character growth from book one to book two. I love seeing characters evolve.

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

This is the first book in this series. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this book and to say that I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. Well, I am not sure you could say pleasantly surprised since I didn’t have any idea what I was getting into. The way the author writes this book just draws you in. It gives you a great background so you instantly feel connected to the main character. You go through the emotions that she goes through. Her friends are there to help her rebuild and start over. I immediately wanted to be their friends. This is how you can tell great writing, if you feel as if you are one of the group or want to be one of the group. What happens when there is a dead body and the main characters friend is being looked at? This is exactly how things end up. She is a strong female in this book and she decides that she needs to help her friend. This is a series and I feel like we are going to see amazing growth with this character. I can’t wait to see the journey she takes and if her super sleuthing will help her friend. I am also wanting her to find love but that is the romantic in me. She isn’t in the market for that in this book but it is a series so never say never.

Forest Park: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 2 (The Logan McKenna Series) by Valerie Davisson – Review by Kirsten Berkebile

November 11, 2023/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Kirsten Berkebile

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.

This is book #6. Just like all the books I have read so far, I can’t seem to put it down. There are so many new characters in this one. I especially like that Logan finally has met her half sister. She and her guy (Ben) bought a house on the Oregon Coast, they are fixing up. However, during this renovation they discover some things that may hide hints to the murder of Charlotte Collins and maybe even more. The details of Charlotte’s murder is a bit hidden so in true fashion, Logan has to get involved. Of course this time she is taking her half-sister Olivia with her. Can they find out who murdered Charlotte Collins or is her death a mystery? Continue the series to find out!!!

This is book one of the Logan McKenna Series. I have the whole series but I am slowly reading them all. Logan McKenna is this amazing woman who tends to stick her nose into some rather dangerous situations but she doesn’t realize that its dangerous until its almost too late. I really wished I had started with Shattered when I started reading the series. Each character has a specific role to play in the telling of this story. This is where Logan finds out about a few things that are life changing. Including a Viking of a man named Ben. I can’t wait to finish the series and tell you all about how Logan’s life has turned out. Is it for the better, be like me and continue reading the series to find out.

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

Wow! My favorite offering of the series so far! Logan and Ben have decided to buy a fixer upper house in Oregon. Life has settled comfortably for Logan and she is finding happiness, peace and success. She also has discovered she has a half-sister she only recently learned of, and has plans to meet and build a relationship with her. In the midst of all that, as usual, Logan finds lots of mysteries, interesting tidbits and a murder case to work on. Once Logan starts digging and investigating, will Olivia help her or hinder her progress?

I don’t want to give too much away, these books are such a true joy to read and part of it is how there is always something to learn, and So. Much. Detail. Not in an overwhelming way, you almost don’t even notice as you’re reading, as it doesn’t take away from the story in the least – it adds texture and depth.

All Logan McKenna novels are great as stand alone books, but if you start at the beginning and ride along with Logan as she grows and develops, it’s really a gift to yourself. The information about mental health, generational trauma, and healing (or not) from it is really amazing. Such an outstanding series!

SAFE HARBOR: Logan Book 5 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Logan is back for another vacation trip along the Oregon coast for the summer with her family. They have such wonderful times planned with beach walks, campfires, a charter boat rental for a full on fishing trip, and excellent time just relaxing with Ben, and her daughter, son-in-law and grandson. Things are going beautifully, until Logan is drawn in to another murder – this time, she was one of the last to see the victim and is being checked out as a suspect! Will she be able to give the Safe Harbor people need while the killer gets closer?

Another absolutely wonderful read about Logan, her nuances that make her the fantastic character she is, and the way she follows her heart and mind to protect those around her. There are so many details that jump out at me while reading these books that just build a more beautiful picture, and I always feel as though I’ve learned things after setting one of these novels down.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lies That Bind is book six in the Logan McKenna storyline. Valerie Davisson brings in different sensitive topics into her writings, and this time is no different. Trauma is sometimes passed from generation to generation, causing a multi-generational curse that is hard to break. Once again, Logan McKenna has found herself in the middle of a murder, and ofcourse she can’t keep her hands clean enough to stay out of it all. While in the middle of buying a new home, meeting her half sister, and now a murder, she really has her hands full this time. This was a great addition to the series and the characters continue to evolve and develop. Even after six books in, I am still intrigued with how Logan keeps finding trouble. Let’s see what new problems she encounters in the next one…..

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Safe Harbor is book five in the Logan McKenna series and very well written crime story with a strong female lead. As always, you can read this as a standalone, but it does follow characters from previous books so extra character development and details carry over. This time around, Logan McKenna is in Oregon and if we have learned anything at all, she has a knack for finding problems. When a murder is reported, Logan finds herself being a suspect and she must prove her innocents. The author has an ability to suck us in to her characters, plots, and settings in a believable way, making this an easy read. I wonder where the next one will take us with Logan and her crew!

Vanishing Day is book four in the Logan McKenna series and once again touches on sensitive topics. While this is a continuation in the series I do think it could be read as a standalone as well. In Vanishing Day, a Lori is trying to keep herself and her small child safe from an abusive husband. When the husband comes to try to make a bad situation worse, Logan steps in to try to help her new friend. Now, with too much information and getting involved in Lori’s dilemma, Logan is also in danger. I really liked the way this author can take a serious topic and twist it into an engaging story, bringing awareness to situations but not lecturing on them. Well done and well written.

Lost and Found is the ninth book in the Logan McKenna Mystery Series and is a fast paced thrilling Mystery that will have you turning the pages till the end. This series just keeps getting better and better with each new book and this one may be my favorite yet. There’s just the right amount of mystery, secrets, lies, deceit to keep you guessing. The twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Logan is back and this time the stakes are higher than ever . Can she catch the killer before her own life is ripped away? Is Sam’s friend innocent or is there more to him? Follow along as Logan is in a race against time to find the killer. Who can she really trust? The killer will do anything to keep the truth hidden and will do absolutely everything to protect themselves. I highly recommend diving into this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to seeing what she brings us next.

This is another thrilling continuation of the Logan McKenna Series by Valerie Davisson. Whisper Creek is the 7th book in this series, and it continues to blow my mind how intriguing each new book is building upon the excitement of the previous books. Life looks like it is finally settling down for Logan and Ben, their relationship is going so well that Ben has proposed to Logan, which she accepted of course. Logan’s musical career is soaring, and life seems to be going smoothly for the happy couple, maybe a little too smoothly. As Logan takes a break to clear her head and get some much-needed space for herself, she gets involved in yet another investigation, there is already one body, and four suspects, will Logan be able to help clear her friends from being suspects or will she get pulled too deep into another investigation that may put her own life at risk once again. This book series has been absolutely amazing, I am hopeful that there will be more books to come in this series. The author has done such an amazing job inventing new ways to draw our heroine into crazy situations, each one even more thrilling than the prior one.

Another win in the universe of Logan McKenna – at least in the wonderfully told story. It’s been 2 years since Logan was made a widow and learned of exactly how her life with her husband really was. She has been rebuilding her life step by step, and even is feeling out a very new relationship. Logan decides to treat herself with a trip to Portland, OR and is having a wonderful time – until an explosion rocks a food truck near her hotel, and she finds she knows people involved and a woman who died in the fire. Logan is worried as no one is giving her new friend, the owner of the food truck, a fair opportunity to have the case solved. The cops are refusing any conversation, assuming things instead of investigating, and Logan has to help. Another case of Logan and her incredible attention to detail, Davisson’s effortless streamlining one string of a storyline with the others and teaching you things without bias in a pretty incredible way.

What a wonderful read this book was, it was so well written, I truly enjoy reading The Logan McKenna Series by Valerie Davisson. Safe Harbor, unfortunately for Logan McKenna, is not all that it promises. As a suspect in a murder and being the next in line for the actual killer, she’s got her hands full, when all she wanted to do was take a much-needed vacation with Ben and her family. This is the 5th book in this series, and I can honestly say I am having a hard time putting it down. It is such a magical book to read, it has so much drama, thrills, and excitement that you are scared to walk around in the dark wondering what may be hiding around the corner. Not only does Logan suffer from being accused of murder, but she also must face her past, and wade her way through trying to stay on her two feet, without being dragged down by everything happening around her. Every book in this series just keeps taking it up a notch, getting more and more exciting as the series goes on.

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

Having read a couple of later Logan series novels as my introduction to her fantastic stories, I felt she was like an old friend who had suffered trauma in her past. Reading this filled in so much more and was so well written. There are multiple characters with well understood storylines without muddying up the journey – expertly woven and playing off one another throughout the story.

Logan McKenna hears of a car accident that has taken the life of her husband. While she considered THIS the life altering scenario that shattered her, she suffers through so much more – the box that appears on her doorstep from her husband’s mistress on the day of his funeral, sharing every dirty detail of the betrayal – to the selling the parts of the computer/tech company the two of them had built up together, to just learning to live a new life without both her husband and their company. Logan takes a job as a teacher, and is excellent at it…so good, in fact, that her students perform exceptionally well on their tests and a jealous fellow teacher accuses her of cheating to make herself look good. She truly fears she will lose her job over the accusation.

Buying a new house is a move to help her find herself and relax into this new life – but now she has heard a close friend has been accused of the horrific murder at a festival. Thomas refuses to talk about it at all, even to defend himself, the cops have found evidence of payments between the victim and Thomas, and Logan can’t help but try to get to the bottom of it to save her friend. As the situation gets progressively more dangerous, Logan proves herself strong and capable throughout the book. Will she catch the killer? Is it Thomas, or will she redeem him?

Vanishing Day (Logan McKenna Series Book 4) by Valerie Davisson – Review by Brandy Rymer

Vanishing Day: A Logan McKenna Mystery/Thriller Logan Book 4 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vanishing Day is the 4th book in Valerie Davisson’s Logan McKenna Mystery series. This book was a continuation of the story of Logan McKenna and the excitement that seems to follow her around like no other. This book promises you excitement, mystery, and a fast-paced thrill ride, and it lives up to everything promised and so much more. You cannot help but grow to love and feel invested in the characters that you’ve met in the past books, as well as gain a deeper understanding of their characters as Valerie continues to masterfully build upon their true natures. This story does touch on some very touchy subjects including spousal abuse, but it’s so ingeniously approached that it doesn’t overshadow the true purpose of the storyline. Once you start this series, you will not want to stop until you get through all of the books, it is so amazing, I’m so excited for the next book.

Whisper Creek (Logan McKenna Mystery Book 7) by Valerie Davisson – Review by Shannen Kern

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

Every time I pick up a new book in this series, I am just speechless. I love each one more than the last and that’s saying something! This author has such a magical way of weaving these stories that pulls you into the world. It feels like an immersive experience instead of just reading about something happening to a character. Speaking of characters, Logan is one of my favorite people of ALL time. She seems to have a knack for finding trouble, or vice versa. You can definitely read this as a standalone, but reading the previous ones gives you so much more depth with our main character, Logan. I promise you’ll end up picking up the rest of the series afterwards anyways! If you’re looking for a thrilling crime read, look no further. This book (and series) is the one for you!

Lost and Found: A Logan McKenna Mystery Book 9 by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Lost and Found is Book 9 in the Logan McKenna Mystery series and this was very enjoyable. I loved the crime mystery suspense circling about crab fishing and the dangers it may lead.

When the dangers of crab fishing lead to a tangled line of murder once again Logan McKenna is out to find the truth. When Logan’s friend, Sam, asks Logan for help to find out the truth and help a friend out with their innocence…Logan cannot say no….and nothing will stop her until she finds the truth… or will it be to late?

Definitely read and find out! I hope there will be more coming from this author and more ofvLogan McKenna!
