The Forsaken (Logan Booth #1) by Matt Rogers
Rogers has flown under my radar for the last 10 years, but he is definitely on my radar now!
Rogers writing style is so engrossing and vivid that it feels like you are watching a movie or standing right in the middle of the action and drama. This fast paced, action thriller is perfect for those who love characters like Ethan Hunt or Jack Reacher. Even the author wrote that Logan Booth can be:
“…deaf, disoriented, concussed, grievously injured: it really doesn’t matter. So long as he can will himself to crash forward, that’s what he’ll do until it’s over.”
Apart from the compelling action scenes, there is the emotional undercurrent from the main characters that draws you in and takes a strong hold over you. From the past and vices that they are struggling to break away from, to the unlikely friendship that Logan and Alice find in each other. Not to mention the unique characteristics within this cast of players, it will have you not only rooting for the heroes, but some of the bad guys too. But the only drawn back is the main villain was very bizarre to say the least.
Overall, this is a series that will I strongly keep an eye on and await more adventures from Logan and Alice.
We are also excited to have Matt Rogers talking about his new series at SMSA with Michael Brissenden. Find more information and tickets to our event here.
Book is coming soon to our shelves!
