In the second book of the Lilah Love series, Lilah finds that she is relying on Kane more than she wants to. She is in contact with him personally and professionally. As her investigation continues, she is not sure who she can trust and is ready to go on her own...Kane seems to be the only one she believes she can count on to tell her the truth. As the book goes on so does the suspense! I can't wait until book 3!

I received this as an ARC and I am voluntarily leaving a review of my opinion.

4.5 Stars from Renee!

The story has laughs, secrets, suspense, and heartbreak.

If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those book(s) first:
Murder Notes (Lilah Love #1)

This is more of Lilah’s story. Lilah is very good at her profiler job with the FBI. Lilah needs to learn all about the killer and in a sense get into there mind. But her latest case is getting harder and harder to do that. She knows they are all tied together with a tattoo. But with the bodies piling up and sending her back to her hometown will she be any closer to figuring out who the killer is? Her hometown has secrets that really no one wants revealed but will they stay hidden? The killer out to get not only the next victim but her also. Can she work together with her ex in order to bring the killer down? Or will the killer bring out a side to her she never wanted out? Can they catch a killer?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book.

5 Stars

Murder Girl by Lisa Renee Jones is the second book in the Lilah Love series. It cannot be read as a stand-alone you’ll have to read book one first. OMGGGGGGG!! This book was fantastic! We get some answers answered but also so many more questions! Lisa Renee Jones continues to write these fantastic stories that make you forget about the real world, even if its only for a couple of hours. Murder Girl is full of suspense and heart pounding moments, mysteries, and secrets.

I am going to keep this review short and sweet being that you need to know a little as possible going in. You are going to be addicted to it. You are going to need the answers to all of the questions. You will want to know who's keeping secrets and why. You will fall in love with the mystery of it all. Murder Girl dives deeper in Lilah's family and soon realizes she cannot trust anyone.

Lisa Renee Jones created a wonderful heroine that was incredibly fierce and unstoppable. I am sitting here on the edge of my seat waiting for book 3!!!

This is part of a series. Murder Notes is the first book in the series and Murder Girl continues the story right where the first one ended. I love that Lisa Renee Jones starts this book with a short recap chapter that reminds the reader what happened in the first book but to get the full appreciation of the series I recommend starting with book one.

The storyline is one that pulled me in, kept me guessing while having me hope for a happy ending for Lilah. I was intrigued by Junior and what his/her tie is to Lilah. Is her family as dirty as they are being portrayed? There are so many questions that I need to be answered. Murder Girl ended and I still have questions, leaving me excited for Lilah Love #3.
I know there is so much history for Lilah and Kane but he is such a bad boy with his mobster past that I want them together. The author teases her reader with their attraction and then points out all the reasons they are so wrong for each other and that leaves us guessing at what is going to be Lilah’s ending. There are of course other male characters that would be more appropriate for Lilah Love but they seem so boring for her life. As you can tell I’m #TeamKane all the way.

Murder Girl is the perfect blend of intrigue, darkness, sex, and mystery. It is not tied up neatly with a bow. You will be left with questions that will hopefully be answered in the next book.

Murder Girl is the 2nd in the Lilla Love series by Lisa Renee Jones, and man does she deliver on the follow up to Murder Notes. This book is again like the first a difficult book to review without destroying plot points and giving away spoilers. This book is very suspenseful and dark, mixed with twists and turns you don’t see coming. We get a great follow up to book 1 and finally get some answers after we were left questioning so many things in book 1. Some answers are given, some we are left questioning, and now we have added even more to contemplate. While this book sticks mostly to the suspenseful side, there is a bit more romantic suspense added in from the first book. In the first book we didn’t get the typical LRJ book we are use too in the romance department. She has kicked it up a few notches in this book, however, I am really not sure that is a good thing. While I do enjoy where the story has taken a turn towards, I am very curious to see how the relationship between Lilah and Kane will play out. I am so excited we get more in book 3, and now just can’t wait for it!

I’m a big fan of Lisa Renee Jones, but unfortunately wasn’t a fan of this book.

It’s very different to what Lisa usually writes. The characters are very unlikeable, especially the main character which made it impossible to get behind her. In turn, it made it very arduous to actually finish the book.

I really hope Lisa continues with her romance novels (which I love immensely) and doesn’t concentrate
too much on this series, as in my opinion it doesn’t work very well. So sorry, Lisa!

This was book 2 in the Lilah Love series. I have to say, I enjoyed this one as much I enjoyed book 1. The characters are raw and conflicted - there is not a "fluff" series.

I look forward to seeing how the story continues in the next installment.

Thank you #netgalley and #montlakeromance for the eARC.

MURDER GIRL (Lilah Love #2) by Lisa Renee Jones is the second book in this thriller/suspense FBI profiler series and picks up right where the first book’s overall plotline left us hanging for more. You can pick up this book which has a great synopsis of book #1 in the beginning, but the first book was just as well written, so I really do recommend you take the time to read it, too.
Lilah Love is one of the best profilers in the FBI. She can get into the mind of the killers’ she profiles without emotional involvement hampering her job and so the nickname “Murder Girl”. Her present case has her returning home to the Hamptons and her ex, Kane Mendez is waiting for her. Lilah believes in law and order, but is drawn to the dark, while Kane is the bad boy, millionaire business man who could be all bad, but he continually tries to fight the dark for Lilah.
Lilah is piecing together the clues of a series of murders others believe are not connected, but she believes are done by an assassin and are all tied together. Each time she gets another piece of the puzzle, she is taken down another path that may go back years and could connect to a secret in her past and her family.
Lilah has to find the assassin, deal with her continually conflicted relationship with Kane and hopefully keep everyone she cares about alive.
Lilah is a great main character. Foul mouthed, beautiful and seriously devoted to catching killers. Her romantic interest in Kane can go so many ways and I am looking forward to seeing if the author can work out their differences enough to bring them together or if he remains more of a character who helps Lilah and just has benefits. Lilah’s FBI supervisor and the assassin, Ghost, are both going to make future books very interesting, also.
I definitely recommend this book and series. It is well written and a page turner that just keeps throwing new twists and revelations at the reader. Bring on book #3, please!
Thank you very much to Montlake Romance and Net Galley for allowing me to read this eARC in exchange for and honest review.

10 stars plus. I started reading the description of this book and the characters that are in the front and it sounded so fantastic that I went and bought book 1 so I could read it first. I loved the characters in this story so darn much. I am so intrigued by her past and what is going to happen in the next books in this series. Will she realize the truth and be able to do something? Will her badge help her or hurt her? Will she realize who she can trust and who she really wants? I am so interested in this book series AND I need them all. Thank you NetGalley and Lisa Rene Jones for allowing me to read and write about this amazing series.

Murder Girl was painful for me to read. I simply could not stand the main character, Lilah Love. I found her brash and abrasive with no redeeming qualities. I kept reading hoping I would get sucked into it, but that did not happen. Instead, I read a chapter, found something else to do, and tried again to read it.

I loved Murder Girl. There were so many twists and turns that my head is still spinning. I loved that some of the questions we were left with in book one were answered, and that now I have more questions that need answering, so I can’t wait for the third book. Thrilling, sexy, mysterious, twisted, these are words that stuck out in my mind after I finished reading. I will be impatiently waiting for the next book.

What an action packed, suspenseful, mysterious, addicting read! So many secrets, so much drama, and the twists and turns.....you don't want to put it down! Lilah Love is one tough, bad talking, smart, dedicated FBI agent. Lilah and Kane are so in sync with each other and I love them together! I want these two to get a happily ever after, but will it happen?? I can't wait for the next book!

Oh man, was waiting for this book, and was NOT disappointed. Lilah Love is searching for a killer, but will she get herself killed in the process. Lisa Renee Jones can seriously write a mystery with a hint of I know who did it, but I am wrong again! She also throws in a lot of I want to know now, should I skip to the end, but then I will never know who else gets killed. Don't forget the tension between lovers, want to be lovers, and brothers. Absolutely wonderful!!!

OMG... this book is brilliant! I don’t want o spoil this book, so just pick this up and enjoy the ride!

Agent Love is my new favorite, loved her in book one.... but this book... wow! SO well written! Twists and turns a long the way that keeps you guessing and wanting more. And I hope there is so much more....once again Lisa has written an amazing book to add to her collection.

Looking forward to what is coming next!

This adventure just keeps getting better with every new thrilling twist and exciting turn. In this book we are following the Awesomely talented Lilah as she stalks a killer that is also stalking her. The danger, mystery, drama and passion all make this a "I so can not put it down for a moment or I might miss something and regret it later" kinda read. Looking forward to getting more answers and unexpected questions in the next book.....

Book two. You know those detectives who don't smile much. All work. All gruff few manners. That's Lilah Love. FBI profiler. Daughter of former cop aspiring politician, sister of local head cop and has had and still does have feelings and a relationship with local syndicate son, Kane, who most thinks is now its leader.

She's in the Hamptons, family home, working on a vicious murder case that spreads far beyond the Hamptons. Just how many of the people she knows and loves are involved? Does this have anything to do with her secret past? A secret only she and Kane know.

Forgot to mention Lilah has a surplus of men in her life. Family. Ex-boyfriends. Old friends. Former partners. Most want to protect her. Some, maybe, want to kill her. She just has to figure out who fits on which list.

Never a dull moment. The clues are well hidden. The danger powerful and there are some steam and family tangles. Old truths may not be so true after all. You have everything in this one, especially a page-turner with unforgettable characters.
Reviewed for Words Turn Me On

I loved this story. It was dark and twisty and sexy and so decadent. I really enjoyed Murder Notes so I was dying to get into this one. Yes, there are some answers, but even more questions and I am so involved in this series. I definitely need to read the next one. I can't wait to see where Lisa is going to take these characters and this storyline.

This is a really hard review to write as I don't want to give anything away. Once again Lisa Renee Jones keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout this second installment of the Lilah Love series. As this story progesses there's lots going on and lots of characters to keep up with as you wait to discover who Lilah can trust and who she can't whilst investigating the murders that may or may not have something to do with attack she suffered and few years ago and other things that have gone down in her past.
Romance does take a back seat in this series and Lilah's relationship with Kane is very will they, won't they I'm hoping they do ad they have amazing chemistry and work well as a team but I'm guessing time will tell.

A fabulous 5 stars from me and I can't wait for more!!!

Lisa Renee Jones is making it personal. She does this to toy with me. I swear it's true. She ends her books at the wrong spot. PERIOD. WRONG SPOT!!!!

Okay, so you argue the whole author point but really, as a reader, it's not cool. Just because she's this twisted ruler over the "imaginary world she creates" doesn't make her special! Ummm, okay, so it does but (said in a super whiney voice) I need more Lilah now!!! [Foot stomp]

Do you hear that Ms. Jones?!?!?!?! (Said in a slightly snotty, 13 year old girl voice with matching head and neck emphasis)

Sigh, you want me to be an adult- whatever!

(Coughs a sound that suspiciously is similar to buttface)

[In the most poised voice, like dubbed over with a posh English accent]

I just finished Murder Girl by Ms. Lisa Renee Jones. It was positively delightful. There is an undercurrent of dark and bad things written through this well written novel. I must say though Murder Girl is book two of the Lilah Love series and must be read after Murder Notes. Once you have enjoyed being tempted by the dark side, teased and taunted by the "love"letters (tut tut, did you catch that little pun?), and are engrossed in the coincidences, you will need more.

[With a less posh accent and the regular voice of this crazed reader]

MORE!!! More Lilah! Free Lilah! We want more LOVE! #MoreLoveToGive

Okay, so the adult in me takes a backseat when I need more. This series, and honestly any I've read by this author, has got me by the proverbial short hairs and until I know what's up, the grip only seems to tighten.

Lilah Love is a woman on a mission. She is determined and set in her ways. She rarely takes shit from anyone but is always dishing it out. She's tough as nails, has bigger balls than most men, and isn't upset by corpses. Clearly, she is a badass. She's my kind of ride or die chick.

Her story is a very unique one. And it seems that it's constantly being updated. Things aren't always what they seem. People aren't always who they pretend to be. And Lilah, well, Lilah has to wade through all the shit to find the real.

I can't say it enough, I need more Lilah Love.

In the second installment of The murder series by Lisa Renee Jones. We find Liliah Love and Kane where we last see them. Lisa gave us a cliffhanger at the end of Murder Notes but she doesn't disappoint us when she brings us Murder Girl. Through the story we learn more history of not only Lilah but her family and Kane. This book had me wonder who it was and why until the end. The suspense, mystery, murder, and heat of this book will keep you on your toes. Even with all the suspense and drama Lisa finds away of bringing a little humor to the story. With Lilah 'hangery' moments to dealing with the heat with Kane and the love/hate with the men in her life. I've absolutely fallen for Agent Love and Kane hope there is more to come for them. Thanks for the ARC from the publisher, netgalley, and Lisa Renee Jones this is my honest review.
