Started off a bit slow but boy did it move fast after that. I loved this book. It’s lovely to get the heart pounding while reading! Loved Kristen and Ollie! This was a great read, thoroughly enjoyed it and I highly recommend this book

Kristen is a single mother having to take desperate measures by opening her home up to a stranger to bring in some extra income so that she can provide a roof and a warm home for her and her son to live in.
Ollie is a cute kid who is having issues at school with an older boy called Felix. I think the author tackles the subject of bullying well and I was fully on side with Kristen when it comes to Felix’s mother. She infuriated me.
Kristen has a lot going on in her life. Her sister is a constant drain on her emotionally, always wanting attention. Her ex husband is someone else who causes her issues with letting their son down and of course hits the roof when he finds out about a stranger living in the same house as his son. On top of all that there is the run ins with bullying boys mum and Kristen is trying to adjust to life with someone new in her home. I felt worn out for her!
As all this is going on, strange things start to happen. Malicious things at that. As Kristen starts to have fall outs with everyone, it opens wider as to who could be behind it all. The only comfort she gets is from Haiden, the tall, blonde mature student from Sweden who is staying with her.
On His Grave is an enthralling page turner of a read. The suspense and tension builds throughout, just as I would expect from this genre of book. I have to admit I did have my suspicions as to who was behind it which proved correct but the author has other little surprises up her sleeve as well as making you doubt yourself with little red herrings being dropped here and there. All in all a story that kept me hooked and had me racing through the pages for a satisfying climax.

Meh.
I expected much more. The storyline was predictable and ridiculous.
