Jill by N.L. Greene was in one word AMAZING! I, for one, have to be caught by the first page when it comes to a thriller. Author N.L. Greene did this for me. Not only did she grab my attention, she held it throughout the whole book. There was never a low point or dragging in the book. Just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, it was total opposite. The author threw a wrench into the plans of what you would expect out of a thriller.
I have read a couple of books by N.L. Greene and this was by far the best she has ever written, executed and the genre I believe she needs to stay in. This book is not intended for anyone under 16 years of age because of the graphic detail of some of the events that take place. I now own this book because I can not wait to read it again! Thank you again for a fantastic read!

I read this book blindly, I had only heard about the author through the grape vine. I did not read the blurb, I had no idea what I was getting into. With that said, I thoroughly enjoyed this! N.L Greene executed this story excellently. I was unable to predict what what going to happen next and I couldn't believe some of the twists taken!
My only negative critique is the ending. I'm not satisfied with it. I felt it the author took the easy way in concluding the story.
BUT, Jill was an amazing book none the less, filled with such raw emotion holding my attention from start to finish.
I was mentally torn, at what I was reading and was literally screaming at the characters! N.L. Greene has earned her 5 stars from me and I'm anxious to read more from her!

5 Star Review of the book Jill, by author N. L. Greene’s book.
This is the first time I’ve read anything by this author, and what a book to start with! It captured me by the end of chapter one to where I didn’t want to do anything but sit and read. The characters were just enough to move the story along, they were well developed, believable, depth, and they made you feel like they were real people.
I found this book by looking for a suspense/thriller book to read. When I saw the title I started laughing as it’s my name. After reading the synopsis I started laughing and had my husband read it. The joke between us that it was nice someone wrote a book about me! After starting the book I started to get a little worried because Jill’s best friend is Sami, my daughter’s name is Sami. When I told my husband that he gave me the weirdest look and said he might be getting a little worried for me to read this book. Thank goodness none of our other children or his name was in the book, so it was safe to say this book really wasn’t written about me.
I’m always interested in finding new author to read, and I’m so happy I read this book. There were twist and turns in it and not once did I see it coming. The story stayed on track, gave just enough background that didn’t take up half the chapter which I like. One thing I did like about this book was how the author had Jill deal with a tragedy that happened in her life. When we or someone we know loses someone unexpectedly to death, one never knows how the ones left behind will handle it. The author did a really good job of writing the way Jill dealt with the sudden passing of her father who was shot one night in the line of duty, as a police officer.
The spiral downward Jill starts to descend into after her only parent is killed. She goes into a deep depression, shutting out her best friend, until after she talks to her father’s attorney, although her father left her everything, she decides to sell the house. Once she starts packing up everything she finds a big folder that her dad had kept secret. Inside the folder is proof of a big prostitution ring and several names of the heavy hitters in it, including some of the police officers who worked with her dad. A Jill figure out her dad wasn’t just shot in a random investigation but someone actually murdered him for his knowledge of whom and what was happening.
Jill also finds out these guys were also involved in the murder of her mother. With both parents dead the only people she can truly call family is Tommy and Karen, her dad’s partner for the past 20 years, and her best friend Sami. There’s no way she can tell Tommy about this, she needs to keep him and Karen safe, and there’s no way she can tell Sami. Jill sets in motion a plan to take revenge on the people that did this to her parents, but she’s has to be very careful as not to get caught.
Once Jill starts her plan in motion, the twist and turns become so intriguing, the reader doesn’t want to put the book down, and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Once all this starts you can’t help but finish the book.

Good quick read
The story had me hooked for bit but then it wrapped up to neatly and quickly. I'd give the another shot if I came across another book.

This was amazing! I love a good suspense and Jill definitely hit the spot. It kept me flipping those pages needing to know what happens next!

N.L. Green is a genius. Took me a while to get through the book, stupid adulting, but finally managed it. Was slow, at first, but then BAM total twister and jaw dropping moments of what Jill has to go through. Amazing character development! N.L. Green does repeat herself, Jill saying the same thoughts over and over, but the plot keeps you hooked in, needing to know what happens!
