I am a new Lisa Regan fan but I absolutely love her books. Her Mothers Grave is the 3rd book in the Josie Quinn Series. It could be read as a stand-alone but it definitely works better read in order. You get to see Josie’s development and understand her relationships with other characters better.

I flew through the first 2 books so was so glad to get my hands on this one. I honestly could not pick my favourite out of the 3. After falling in love with Josie and her strength we get to dive into her past and found out what made her who she is today.

A 30 year old skeleton of a teenage girl is found by 2 boys behind the trailer park and identified as Belinda Rose. Belinda Rose is her mothers' name. In order to solve the case, Josie has to go back to somewhere she has tried to forget. Her past.

I could not put this book down. It is both devastating and gripping. It switches between the present and Josie at different ages in the past. Reading about her horrific childhood was just heartbreaking but helps us understand her character more. I guessed what one of the twists was a little bit before it was revealed but that doesn’t ruin it at all. The twist is bittersweet for Josie as it gives her answers but also leaves her with a lot of what ifs. The ending was as explosive and dramatic as expected.

I really hope we will get to see more of Josie Quinn because I need to know what happens to her and I really want to see what happens between her and Noah
