Lilah Love by Lisa Renee Jones - books 1 to 8

I hadn't come across Lisa Renee Jones before but couldn't resists this boxset when it came up on Netgalley - EIGHT books in one go and no wait in-between!!!

Reading through the whole series, I feel that you really need to read them as pairs to avoid any frustrating cliff hangers. All books build on each other, and the storyline felt more 'complete' after every second book.

Murder Notes (1) and Murder Girl (2)

Murder Notes provides a fantastic start to the Lilah Love series. All the key characters are introduced. 

Lilah is the sought after profiler at the FBI. She has a cunning way to 'speak with' dead bodies and to think like a killer. She also has a romantic past with Kane, who we're repeatedly told is NOT the lead of the Mendez cartel...

Other key characters include Lilah's family who all work for the police force and not really approve of her links with Kane. We are also introduced to the many victims and their families as Lilah is trying to follow leads in her unconventional way. 

Love Me Dead (3) and Love Kills (4)

Next up is Love Me Dead where the Umbrella Man is causing chaos. Lilah isn't great with blood and there is a lot of it in these two books; hence the reference to the murderer as the Umbrella Man.

Bloody Vows (5) and Bloody Love (6)

The relationship between Lilah and Kane is developing and they get engaged, again. Lilah is called into a case with a murdered woman wearing a wedding dress, and it feels all too personal. There is also an attempt to take Kane's life in a somewhat spectacular fashion.

Happy Death Day (7) and The Party Is Over (8)

Just back from her honeymoon Lilah is thrown into a new murder case which soon becomes another few. All of them has taken inspiration from horror movies. 

The tension between Lilah and the cartel is growing and we have a few confrontations. Without giving anything away, I must just say that the ending to Book 8 makes me NEED Book 9! 

Books 9 and 10!

Book NINE, The ghost assassin is due to be published on 13 July this year (2023). Book TEN, Agent vs Assassin, is also in the works. You can pre-order both of them now!

Big Bad Boss: Midnight, by Renee Rose and Lee Savino

First things first: This book ends with a cliff hanger and after getting over that frustration, it leaves you wanting to hurry up the authors to publish the next one, and the one after that in this Werewolves of Wall Street trilogy. Brick, the lead male, is the stereotypical billionaire a-hole, going through assistants quicker than he changes his underwear - well, that's until Madison comes along and puts him in his place. She's bright, sassy and knows what she wants - enough money to pay her brother's tuition fees and to do some under cover research.   Big Bad Boss: Midnight is an amazingly well written and captivating shifter story mixing hotness and business; a shame it ended with a cliffhanger. It's publishing tomorrow 29 February 2024. #BigBadBoss #NetGalley

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas Julianna Keyes

As it says in the blurb from the publisher: " Hallmark with Snark " Two writers, who both hate Christmas, are set the challenge to spend a week in a Noelville, a dedicated Christmas resort and write a sappy, Christmas loving story. The winner gets a sought after promotion. What could go wrong? Well, it is the festive season and not even these two Grinches manage to stay unaffected by the magic. Lots of fab banter, some 'balanced' Christmas sap - all in all a sweet Christmas story with e HEA.  It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas by Julianna Keyes is available from 1 December 2024.  #ItsBeginningtoLookaLotLikeChristmas #NetGalley.

The Favourites by Layne Fargo

Intense. Heart wrenching. The intrigue was real, and often extremely well hidden.  "To the world, they were a scandal. To each other, an obsession." Kat lives for her figure skating. Heath Rocha was a way to get there - not her first love. Kat is determination. Heath is power, dark power.  The figure skating world is manipulative, where being best is closely linked to having money, and people in your hands. To always wanting more of everything. Quote from the book: "But what was the point if you had everything and enjoyed nothing?" I loved the layers of this story. It would be fab on the big screen! The Favourites by Layne Fargo is currently set to publish on 16 January 2025.  #TheFavourites #NetGalley
