Murder Girl by Lisa Renee Jones

Murder Girl (Lilah Love, #2)

by Lisa Renee Jones

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.

This is the second in a connected duet and begins with a cliffhanger.

This is going to be kind of a short review as I don't want to give anything away, and basically everything I said about book one applies to this book as well. It was a fantastic book. Well written. Fast paced. It was teeming with twists and turns, and intrigue. Lies. Secrets, and betrayals. Thankfully, we are given some answers to the questions we were left with in book one, but some remain. On top of that, we are left with a whole slew of new ones. Again like book one, we have a full cast of characters that make up this book. Each one intriguing. Each one mysterious. Each one potentially hiding secrets.







Last, that brings me to the one thing I did not care for...the relationship between Lilah and Kane. I love both characters, and I love when they work together, but as a romantic pairing...well...they were a bit of a snoozefest. Their relationship progress felt stagnant to me. I honestly don't know how to explain it better than that. I almost wish the author had done away with the romance angle completely (maybe just had Kane and Lilah be good friends that end up working together) as there are so many other things going on that the "romance" takes a huge backseat. Anyway, that was just a small issue in the grand scheme of things and all in all I adored this one and can't wait to see what happens in the next installment.
