If your background is CTL interpreted over Kripke structures and you looks for something similar interpreted over LTSs, than ACTL (action-based CTL) could be interesting.

Back in 1990, R. De Nicola and F. Vaandrager introduced ACTL as an action-based CTL (Action versus state based logics for transition systems, Semantics of Systems of Concurrent Processes (1990), pp. 407-419). It has been further studied in 1993 (R. De Nicola, A. Fantechi, S. Gnesi, G. Ristori: An Action-Based Framework for Verifying Logical and Behavioural Properties of Concurrent Systems, Computer Networks and ISDN Systems, Vol. 25, No. 7., pp. 761-778.) and more recently in 2008 (R. Meolic, T. Kapus, Z. Brezočnik: ACTLW - An Action-based Computation Tree Logic With Unless Operator, Information Sciences, 178 (6), pp. 1542-1557.)

Main idea of ACTL (not to be confused with a subset of CTL with the same acronym) is to have similar operators and similar algorithms for model checking as those for CTL. Moreover, operators are defined by fixed-point expressions analog to those used for CTL. The complexity (I am not sure about expresiveness) of ACTL is somewhere between HML and propositional modal μ-calculus.
