Book 1 of 10: Lilah Love

See all formats and editions

In book one of the Lilah Love launch duet, meet Lilah Love, the politically incorrect FBI agent who says what no one else dares and fears her dark side is a little too dark. Note: this book ends in a cliffhanger and continues in Murder Girl. The story...

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?

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Must-read romantic suspense…Lisa Renee Jones has created a robust, interesting character with FBI Special Agent Lilah Love…She’s tenacious and focused, and a psychological force to be reckoned with…Reader, be prepared: There is a doozy of a cliff-hanger in this first installment.” —USA Today

“Riveting…Lisa Renee Jones knows how to reach her readers, keep them glued to the pages and wanting more…Murder Notes is filled with action, intrigue, suspense and a dark love that neither can fully acknowledge, and it all comes to life in this world the author has built for her readers’ pleasure.” —Fresh Fiction

“Murder Notes is intriguing and edgy. Lilah Love isn’t your usual heroine; she doesn’t hesitate at danger but embraces it, because only then can she see the darkness of the crimes she investigates. The twists and turns will keep you wondering who’s guilty and who isn’t…or are they all guilty?” —Linda Howard, New York Times bestselling author

“Murder Notes has larger-than-life characters who explode off the page and a page-turning plot loaded with intrigue and suspense. Lisa Renee Jones hit a home run with this one!” —Kat Martin, New York Times bestselling author

“Intensely thrilling! A murder mystery, a beautifully flawed heroine, and a killer of a cliffhanger will keep you begging for more!” —#1 New York Times bestselling author Helen Hardt

“Lisa Renee Jones has done it again! Murder Notes is a fantastic, thrilling read that is more mystery than romance. But rest assured, there are plenty of swoon-worthy moments in this dazzling first novel in the Lilah Love series. If you’re craving an emotional ride with unexpected twists and a plot chiseled to perfection, look no further.” —RT Book Reviews (Top Pick)

Murder Notes (Lilah Love #1) by Lisa Renee Jones
4.5 stars!!!

“There’s a reason it’s usually someone you love who kills you.”

This is a step away from Lisa Renee Jones’s norm, this is a fully-fledged thriller that had me frantically turning pages while trying to connect dots in the vain hope of trying to fathom out what was going on…a true sign of a great one. There is a romantic undertone, don’t get me wrong, but at the moment, that is an undercurrent, the real meat of this book is a serial killer that seems to have a point to prove to our FBI woman, Lilah Love.

Lilah Love is an enigma, it is obvious she has a lot of baggage but her cold heart and ambivalence makes her hard to warm up to in the first instance. However, as the book progresses you begin to understand her and her mannerisms. Lilah is a total badass, she can more than handle herself and the way her mind works is fascinating. It takes a brave person to take her on and even braver to try and blackmail her with secrets she definitely doesn’t want uncovered.

“It bleeds because you bleed.”

The anticipation of her love connection, with Kane, is one that had my heart thrumming and this man is one hell of an enigma too. There is obviously a lot of history between these two and it is that and the ultimate chance of a second chance romance that definitely has me wanting more. But, is he all he seems? For me, I do believe he loves Lilah and has never stopped and despite his cool, calm demeanour, I am sure that Lilah is the only one that thaw and floor him. There is definitely a love/hate thing going on and for two people that were so close…what happened to separate them?

“…you don’t catch a killer by hiding from him. You catch him by getting to know him.”

The action in this book is what really keeps the pages turning and being a crime programme aficionado, this book was definitely right up my alley. A cross between Criminal Minds and CSI, this book has a touch of everything for us crime junkies and Lisa Renee Jones did an amazing job of keeping the suspense up, the reader captivated and that forever anticipation. I cannot wait for the next book in this series, it seriously cannot come quick enough.

Wonderful Story!

Lilah Love is a name that is not thought of as a FBI Agent, rather a person who might do lap-dances... at least that is the consenses in this book!
Agent Love uses her well-trained mind, her word resources, and her families money to get where she needs to get, and to get to the real information behind murders.
Thank you, Lisa Renee Jones for a great story!

Review: Lilah Love 1: Murder Notes

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

Murder Notes by Lisa Renee Jones is the first book in her Lilah Love series. A murder mystery told from the perspective of FBI Special Agent Lilah Love with a cliffhanger ending that will leave you excited for more but not quite ready to throw your kindle/ereader/paperback. There is an underlying romance from her past that shows it's head but the main focus of the story is the crimes and how, as they all start being pieced together, keep pointing to Lilah and a secret in her past.

Lilah is tough. She has to be in order to do her job, that of FBI Profiler and a frequent visitor to horrific crime scenes. She grew up in the Hamptons with a police chief father and movie star mother and her brother and herself both went into law enforcement. She could have the easy life in the Hamptons but she is a hard working, ambitious woman. Not to mention that the West Coast is about as far away as she could get after the "incident".

It is this "incident" that pulls her back to the Hamptons and her past when a murder there links to two in LA and another in Manhattan. As she slowly starts to unravel the details of the case she gets embroiled in family drama, plot twists, potential betrayal and the focus of a stalker with a penchant for leaving behind semi-threatening notes Lilah is sure have to do with her secret that only one other person should know, Kane Mendez. He also happen to be on the suspect list for the Hamptons murder.

Rich in detail and plot twists this story will keep you engaged throughout, have you laughing at Lilah's snark and attitude, and second-guessing every potential suspect on her list. Loved this! Up next, book two - Murder Girl.

Love os livros da Lilah

Reviewed in Brazil on August 3, 2022

Melhor vicio de todos são os livros da Lilah Love. Já tinha lido vários romances da Lisa Renee Jones e nunca tinha lido nenhum suspense policial da Lilah Love. São simplesmente muito bem escritos, muito bem montados e fazem o leitor virar as páginas, sem conseguir saber quem é o criminoso.
Os personagens são bem construídos e a trama é sensacional!
Recomendo muito!

Wild ride

Fasten your seatbelt and prepare for a wild ride. The action and suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat. The attraction between Lilah and Kane just sizzles. I loved the badass personality of Lilah that is balanced out with her hints of femininity. She is a hunter that enjoys her vintage Louis Vuitton wardrobe. I loved how she acknowledges that she does better with dead people than with the living as there are some days that I can relate. There are lots of twists in this story with all the different characters and potential suspects (even family members) only for it all to end with a cliff hanger! Can’t wait to start book 2, Murder Girl.

I received a free copy from Netgalley. This is my unbiased review. I also bought my own copy.

Stumbled upon this and f...loved it.
And after you read this, you will eventually use the f word a little more, before you can reign it in. 😂
But perhaps it will need even more time, because your going to read part 2 afterwords, as am I.

Doesn't quite make the mark

Reviewed in India on August 9, 2021

Verified Purchase

FBI agent Lilah Love is back home in the Hamptons, New York on assignment to track down a serial killer. Haunted by memories of a traumatic experience, which changed her life and transformed her from the debutante daughter of a wealthy family into a special agent, she arrives in her hometown to find a fresh murder awaiting her. Her family and friends, including her ex-lover Kane Mendez, the only one who shares her secret, appear to have changed, and she doesn’t get much of a welcome. Determined to face up to her old fears, she moves into her family’s vacant beach house, only to find that someone is still tracking her, and seems to be aware of her past. Racing through one action-packed day into another, always in fear for her life, she grits her teeth and takes on the local political setup, as well as unexpected moves from those she had counted on as friends.
Liberally splattered with the F-word and graphic imagery, with all the ingredients of a thriller at hand, the book somehow fails to make the mark. I would rate it two stars, at best.
