MURDER NOTES by Lisa Renee Jones
Lilah Love #1
MARCH 27, 2018
ABOUT
New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones’s heart-pounding thriller of a woman’s secrets—and a past that’s about to come out of hiding…
As an FBI profiler, it’s Lilah Love’s job to think like a killer. And she is very good at her job. When a series of murders surface—the victims all stripped naked and shot in the head—Lilah’s instincts tell her it’s the work of an assassin, not a serial killer. But when the case takes her back to her hometown in the Hamptons and a mysterious but unmistakable connection to her own life, all her assumptions are shaken to the core.
Thrust into a troubled past she’s tried to shut the door on, Lilah’s back in the town where her father is mayor, her brother is police chief, and she has an intimate history with the local crime lord’s son, Kane Mendez. The two share a devastating secret, and only Kane understands Lilah’s own darkest impulses. As more corpses surface, so does a series of anonymous notes to Lilah, threatening to expose her. Is the killer someone in her own circle? And is she the next target?
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
If
there's one thing that i'm constantly looking forward to, it's getting
my hands on a new book written by Lisa Renee Jones. It's nothing like
the dark romances that i gravitate towards, nor is it an erotic novel.
What this author offers is a realistic suspense novel with the side of
the law that you rarely see - the stress, the pressure, the different
departments that you suspected was there but never really got to confirm
- these books has it all. And i've rarely seen it from authors and you
just know who has experience in it and who doesn't (no i'm not saying
that those who don't are bad, only that the small details aren't there,
that's all).
This
is a new series by this author and like the many other series i've read
from her, it drew me in right from the start. There has this underlying
story that you think you know, that you've heard Lilah's story before
Murder Notes, but your curiosity just keeps getting you to pay attention
and to keep reading so that you can really pinpoint if you're right or
not. There were so many elements that drew me in - the emotions, the
history of Lilah's home town, the secrets, the love affair that
shouldn't have been, the crushing chemistry that is hard to ignore, and
the murders. So many elements that worked great together.
There
was enough action to keep me invested in this book, to want to find out
what'll happen to Lilah, if she'll end with Kane even with all the
instructions to keep away from him, if she'll find the murderer and
whether or not someone was there that day when she was attacked. So many
things that happened, and yet, i can't say that i was mixed up, which
is a big fear of mine, of not being able to follow the storyline because
there is so much going on at the same time. But i can honestly say,
that the way things happened was just well done.
I
loved this first instalment in the Lilah Love series, and i can
honestly say that i can't wait to find out what's to happen next. I just
might have to go back and start reading the other books by this author
in the mean time, just to tide me over until the book releases!

EXCERPT #1
I scan the ocean, expecting it to turn to blood, but it simply crashes to the shore.
I turn to the house and take a step, then stop abruptly, a shadow flickering by the house. A shiver runs down my spine. There it is again. Another shadow. Someone is there. It’s then that I flash back to being on this very sand, with Kane grabbing my arms and saying, “I’ll take care of it.” And I let him, and did so without asking questions, until it was too late to change the outcome. Because I was weak that night and he was strong. But I am not weak anymore.
I pull my weapon and start running for the house, wind in my hair and face, my heart thundering in my ears, and I don’t stop until I’m staring at the blood splattered all over the patio glass, some kind of note pinned in the center. Adrenaline surges through me, but I am in my Otherworld now. I retain my cool. I walk to the patio door, using the end of my shirt to open the door, and then I systematically search every inch of the house. When I know I’m alone, I walk to my bag, pull on gloves and then walk back outside, yanking the note off the door. Returning back inside, I lock the door and pull the blinds and then I open the note. At the top is the alphabet, pasted in paper letters, with an X across the letter A. The note reads:
A is for the Apple a day that keeps the doctor away. But a doctor couldn’t help him, could he?
I KNOW.

Title: Murder Girl
Author: Lisa Renee Jones
Series: Lilah Love #2
Release Date: July 10, 2018
New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones returns with the second book in her electrifying series featuring Lilah Love, an FBI profiler who doesn’t fight her dark side—she embraces it.
It’s Lilah Love’s job to inhabit a killer’s mind. The unapologetically tough FBI profiler is very comfortable there. But her latest case is making her head spin. It’s a string of brutal assassinations carried out across the country, each tied to a mysterious tattoo. Body by body, she’s followed the clues all the way back to her hometown. And every step of the way, the killer has been following her.
Here, beneath the glamour of the privileged Hamptons community, is a secret long buried but never forgotten. It’s bigger than Lilah. It’s powerful enough to escape the reach of the FBI. And it’s more personal than anyone can imagine. Because it’s hiding in Lilah’s own past. To fight it, she’s forced to turn to her lethally tempting ex, Kane Mendez. He’s an expert at bringing out Lilah’s darkest impulses. If she plans to survive, she’s going to need them.
