Moon Girl Farm has been in her family for nine generations, they grow herbs, apples and run an apothecary shop. Lizzy meets her grandmother’s friend Evangeline Broussard, she took care of her when sh...
This book is a mess. What is it trying to be? A murder mystery? A family drama? A romance? Another book hopping onto the trendy Wiccan bandwagon? Somehow it's all of these things at once but not in a good way. It's not enough of any of the categories so it kind of feels like a jumbled mess. It's definitely the most boring murder mystery I've ever read. It's so slow. And I really did not care that much about finding out who killed the Gilman girls. Lizzy goes home to sell the farm and when she ge...
I usually like books with some magic in them. I'm not a fan of murder mysteries but I thought I'd give it a try. Barbara Davis crafts a good sentence and writes well. I just didn't like the story. It felt predictable to me and oddly formulaic - the town "against" the family, gossip, blame, etc. For a 36 year old woman, Lizzy has little insight into her life. People who aren't willing to look at their issues annoy me so I really didn't care for her or her mother. Mostly I believe I'm the wrong au...
Ok so I could NOT finish this book.Firstly, I could not take it seriously. One of the lines was literally " he looked like Johnny Depp without the eyeliner." ... Okay so he looked like Johnny Depp? Then it switches to this guy's narrative about how he was obsessed with Lizzy ever since she was a kid and still dreams about her 8 years later. And I stopped reading right then and there because I loathe books that make creepy guys try to seem romantic. I just couldn't do it anymore.Honestly I'm so g...
I loved this novel that transcends genres - part murder mystery, part family drama, part historical fiction, but everything magical full of love! The writing is hauntingly beautiful, easy to read, and well researched. The story opens up with the discovery of two missing young girls’ bodies in the pond and the double homicide investigation points to blame Althea Moon. From that point on, the writing continues to build up as Liz, Althea’s grand-daughter discovers not only the mystery behind the gi...
This charming story centers around Elzibeth ‘Lizzy’ Moon, a successful creative director and perfumer in NYC who returns to her New England hometown of Salem Creek and her grandmother Althea’s Moon Girl Farm after her death. A past tragic event involving two teenage sisters found in a pond on the property has cast a pall over Althea and all the Moon women, with townsfolk presuming Althea’s guilt and strongly intimating that all the Moon women are witches, despite the fact that they’ve always use...
When I requested this book from NetGalley, I thought that if the inside were as impressive as the outside, I would be a lucky girl. Well, I’m a lucky girl. This book is a beautifully written, mystical story of a woman who has fought her true destiny as one of the gifted Moon girls who have had the power of healing for nine generations. After her grandmother’s death, Lizzie must return home to the family farm from New York City to settle the estate. She has no intention of staying, but events and...
THE LAST OF THE MOON GIRLS is an intoxicating page-turner wrapped around an unsolved double homicide. It’s the story of Elzibeth, a successful perfume maker with a closely guarded secret: she can read people by their scent. Her unique gift is a legacy and a curse, because it identifies her as the last in a long line of mystical women.Mothers, grandmothers, and healers, the Moon women have deep roots in a small New England community that has treated them with suspicion and fear and, in the last d...
A bit overwhelmingStartlingly reminiscent of Alice Hoffman's Owens family, this book tried to be too much-- tale of generational witches, unsolved murder mystery, story of dysfunctional mother and daughter, and lukewarm romance. I love magic realism and could have fallen hard for the generational witch story with the gorgeous garden, healing herbs, soaps, tinctures, perfumes, trained bees, and the women's history, work, and relationships on the farm. But that's not how it went. The protagonist,
The Last of the Moon Girls is an enchanting tale of letting go and finding forgiveness. You will fall in love with Althea’s sage advice and her magical Book of Remembrances, and root for Lizzy as she opens up the past to make way for the future. A five-star must read. –
