I loved this book. Lisa Renee Jones writes a great mystery series. The tension between Lilah and Kane is great. The build up of this story is excellent. While I hate cliffhangers, I have found myself reading this book multiple times trying to piece together the mystery.

Ms Jones twists a plot that pulls you deeply into another world, where memories are stirred through profiling. The characters are warm and realistic, believable. Well written and well researched this novel will pull at the reader’s emotions and heart. I loved the interactions between characters, visualising the story-line as though watching a film. Difficult to put down, but I found I had to as I needed the emotional break. A very involved story means you need to keep reading, despite the urge for food or personal care – worth the price for entertainment value alone.

Murder Notes (Lilah Love #1)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Suspense. Check.
Alpha bad boys. Double check.
Lots of blood. Triple check.
Mystery... I could go on for days.

Special Agent Lilah Lurrrve - that is literally how I read it the whole way through. I’m not even sorry. - is a bad ass chica! She’s an FBI profiler - please can I be one too? *waves hand wildly in the air*

Lilah is involved with nasty murder cases that lead her back home, back to where she left all of her dark secrets behind. You find them out as the story is told. She also left a VERY dangerous ex-boyfriend behind too... hello, hot stuff! *fans self quickly*

This book isn’t so much about romance, it’s a suspenseful, murder mystery book, edge of your seat, double check your locks before you go to bed, kind of book. And I loved everything about it! The questions you’re left with after each page, the drama, the development.

I loved how it progressed, the characters and of course, the suspense.

I have to say, I love romance books & my second favourite genre is mystery. The fact that these two things were kind of tied together, just made it all that enjoyable for me.

If you haven’t read Murder Notes yet, you must.

So I read this book way back early this year and never realized that I did not write a review for it!! How that happened is beyond me because this book was amazing!! If feels like I read it yesterday, I remember it so well.

If you have never read a Lise Renee Jones book before, you are missing out!! I have enjoyed her writing for quite some time and this book is just another reason why I will always read anything she writes.

This book is all mystery and suspense with a tad bit of romance and I mean tad bit - miniscule even and that makes me love this book even more!! Lisa does an amazing job with her all details, especially with Lilah and her inner workings.

Lilah is a fierce, no-holds-bar badass woman. I lover her. I absolutely loved getting inside her head and seeing how she works through every thing. The fact that she is able to get into the mind of some disturbing people and come away with what she does, blows my mind away - I love it.

I love the story and the plot that Lisa is building. The lies, secrets, twists and turns keeps you right at the edge the whole time. I love that she has me trying to figure this out and just keeps adding more and more to the plot, deepening things further. LOVE IT!!!

So yes, as you can see, I have no idea what I never wrote a review on this back when I read it, except for the fact that I suck. LOL I have no excuses, I just flat out somehow forgot.

If you are a lover of mystery and suspense - look no further than this book. The next book in this series comes out soon, so start reading now!!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for my honest review.
I loved this book, it captured my attention from the first page and kept me on the edge of my seat till the last page.
This book was a thrill ride.

Holy moly, I need more! Especially, with an ending like that! LRJ has written another outstanding book! This is a murder mystery that keeps you on your toes from the very beginning. The fact that I feel like I am on the investigation right along with Lila makes it really interesting. The book does end in a cliffhanger, so be prepared for that! I had no idea and now I can’t wait for Murder Girl. If you like murder/mystery/suspense, then this is the book for you! I highly recommend this book!

What a ride! The book gripped me from the very beginning and could not put it down. The characters and action will surprise you as the plot progresses. Once you think you discovered characters, there is another twist and turn that will keep you on your feet!!! I really can't wait for the next part.
As always Lisa did not disappoint with her book.

“ You will never out-profile the profiler”
I have always been a fan of Lisa Renee Jones and Murder Notes was nothing like she wrote before and it was worth experiencing!
This story is full of angst, suspense and mystery-it was a real page turner.
Lilah Love AKA Murder Girl goes back to the Hamptons to solve a case. Lilah soon realises that this case is too close to home.
The plot is great and the storyline very captivating. What I Liked the most is all the different motives and characters from The Ghost to Kane. Lilah is the driving force of the story and it is pleasant to see that it is a woman that captures all our attention- she is a compelling character. She is one of the best profiler in the country but the other characters are also in leading roles.
Impeccable and intelligent story.

Murder Notes is about FBI profiler Lilah Love who is assigned a murder case in the Hamptons. Agent Lilah returned to her hometown in search of clues regarding the four murders that might be linked between LA and NY.

Lilah is being threatened by someone who knows her secrets. Threatening notes are left behind as a reminder she needs to back off. Lilah confides in her ex-boyfriend Kane to help her sort out the dark and haunting reality of these murders.

Lilah is a snarky character full of sarcasm and angry bouts of f-bombs. Lilah rubs people the wrong way in this town. Her homecoming wasn’t warm and fuzzy. Lilah is pushy, direct and demanding yet given the type of job she has in an all male environment I suppose it’s justified. She needs to assort authority in order to be taken seriously. She might be a good judge of character but her jumping to conclusions with hot headed attitude isn’t the most productive way to get information. But it certainly stirs up the drama.

Ms. Jones writes a well thought out murder mystery involving all the steps and processes of a profiler. However, I felt there were too many variables and details to work though. Not to mention a slew of characters. I really wanted to like this story and find out what these past secrets were that connected to the present murders, but I realized those answers were not going to take place in this book but rather farther along in another book.

There was excitement and conspiracy and secrets that brought entertainment to the story, yet I’m disappointed at the length of this story and the amount of layers Lilah’s character had to go into in order to solve these murders. There’s an intricate web of lies and secrets that is intriguing yet not enough to warrant the long adventure of more books. At the way this story is paced it’s obvious this author can introduce more ideas and characters to shake up the story. While this might seem appealing to most its not to me. Without knowing how many books will be part of this series I’m on the fence whether I will return for book two.

This is a never want to put down can not turn the pages fast enough a little afraid of what might happen next to this awesome charter you are getting to know and love kinda reading experience and I absolutely loved every moment of it.

Lilah Love is so much more than a kick ass FBI profiler and survivor of a troubling past. She is also a very intuitive student of human nature and is harboring deep secrets.... Just when I thought I had something figured out the whole seen changes again and I loved every heart pounding, spine tingling twist and turn in this thrilling journey and look forward to more....

OMG. This is hands down the best book I have read this year.

Murder Notes has everything; action, excitement, humour and a good dose of sexual tension. Lilah Love is a top FBI profiler. She is confident, sassy and outspoken. She has turned her back on her affluent family in the Hampton's but is drawn back there as she follows the trail of a serial killer. Her ex is a possessive bad boy with ties to the cartel. What a plot. You will not be able to put it down but a word of warning there is a cliffhanger, and you are definitely left hanging…. by your fingernails.

I received this book from Net Galley for an honest review.

New series and Lisa Renee Jones has a murder mystery Romance for you. I highly recommend this and all stories from Lisa.

This is a good easy read. I just found it bit slow at times, which would explain the cliffhanger ending. I guess for me, this is a bit of a drawn out series. I may or may not read the next book

I did not want it to end and can't wait to read the next one in the series. I am so excited - I found a new author to read and new series to look forward to. Thank you #netgalley and #montlakeromance for the eARC.

Thanks Netgalley for a copy to read and review while giving my honest opinion. Love this author. The cover and title are amazing but it was the blurb that caught my eye.
Agent Love is an amazing character, profiler for the FBI who has caught a case that threatens secrets from her path. Kane Mendez, an ex of Lilah's and all around Hampton bad boy. A gruesome crime has brought Lilah back to where it all happened and it's an amazing story with an abrupt cliffhanger. I will definitely be reading the next part.
I give the story five stars of entertainment. Did not want to put it down! Thanks Netgalley for a great book!

Actually already got this book prior my ARC cause I was that impatient. Liked it a lot, really stuck with me, especially the heroine. It went places and gave me feels other books of similar genre failed so many times. Would highly recommend it!

I was intrigued by this book right up until the end. I was prepared to give it a 4 or 5* rating, even tho it is written in the first person. Until the end. Nothing makes me madder than having a book just end. End with no resolution to the main story line. Fair warning to readers, this book was written to sell 2 books., the second hopefully resolving the main story line of the first. Thank you to net galley for a copy of this book.

I knew going in this would end in a cliffy… that is what makes LRJ such an awesome author in my eyes. She releases the perfect combination of suspense, sexy and WTF did I just read!!! All of it is in this new series starring Lilah Love, the FBI profiler with a Porn Star name! Cannot wait for book 2, I think I know who did/is doing all the crap, but I need to confirm!!! An amazing book that everyone should read!!! 5 stars!!

An absorbing psychological thriller with an interesting heroine in Lilah Love. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and can't wait to read the next after the cliffhanger ending!
*Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher*

Murder Notes by Lisa Renee Jones was an intense yet possessive story that I never wanted to put down. I can not wait to see what happens next in this spine tingling thriller that left me puzzled and anticipating the next book.

Lilah Love is an FBI agent that helps find killers and her instincts are always on point. I loved how Lilah was always confident and never let fear rule her, she never backed down. But when a series of murders are thrown her way and it leads her back home, nothing is as it seems. You'll be completely mesmerized by Lisa's writing and completely blown away with the turn of events. I never saw it coming.

If you love a story that keeps you guessing and is just as dangerous and addictive as Kane Mendez, you are gonna want to read this one. Kane Mendez owned me the moment he walked back into Lilah's life. His character is one of my favorites.

Can Lilah discover the truth that everyone she loves is hiding from her? Will she find her killer and keep her secret? Will Kane win her heart? You'll most certainly have to one click to find out all the answers. I can't wait for Murder Girl to release so I can continue to find the truth in all of the lies and secrets Lilah finds herself faced with.

I give Murder Notes by Lisa Renee Jones 5 out of 5 SINISTER STARS!
