Summary

An Amazon Charts Bestseller.

A novel of secrets, memory, family, and forgiveness by the bestselling author of When Never Comes.

Lizzy Moon never wanted Moon Girl Farm. Eight years ago, she left the land that nine generations of gifted healers had tended, determined to distance herself from the whispers about her family’s strange legacy. But when her beloved grandmother Althea dies, Lizzy must return and face the tragedy still hanging over the farm’s withered lavender fields: the unsolved murders of two young girls, and the cruel accusations that followed Althea to her grave.

Lizzy wants nothing more than to sell the farm and return to her life in New York, until she discovers a journal Althea left for her - a Book of Remembrances meant to help Lizzy embrace her own special gifts. When she reconnects with Andrew Greyson, one of the few in town who believed in Althea’s innocence, she resolves to clear her grandmother’s name.

But to do so, she’ll have to decide if she can accept her legacy and whether to follow in the footsteps of all the Moon women who came before her.

A Mystery with a touch of Magic

A mystery with a touch of magic, this was how I saw this book. I had high hopes when I read the reviews, but felt that it fell short on several levels. It was enjoyable, and I did listen to the end, but I wouldn’t recommend as one of the best books I’ve read. It started slowly, and when the mystery became interesting, it was like the writer got bored and wanted to wrap it all up too quickly, it reminded me of a Scooby Doo episode from the seventies ( ages me ). The performance was not to my taste, very nasal and dull, it’s all subjective because we can’t all like the same things. But on the whole, I’d say, read the book and don’t buy the audible version, I had it on my kindle too & preferred that!

Will she? Won't she? Will she? Won't she?

First let me say I listened to this on Audible. I did enjoy it overall but found parts of the story too repetitive and sometimes annoying. I thought the narrator was too whiny at times for one of the particular characters, I found that really irksome I can tell you. But overall the story was a good one and enjoyable to listen to.

Very painful to get through

I managed to drag myself to the end of this book but it was a painful process. The main character is whiney and quite frankly annoying and the 'love story' is childish. By the half way point, I wanted to slap her for spouting so much silliness all the time. The 'mystery' side of the story was actually quite well concocted and unpredictable, but unfortunately there was so little progress for the first 90% of the book (making it VERY slow moving), I only JUST managed to hang in until the end where the the entire plot is unravelled during one conversation...

There are definitely redeeming factors in this book including some colourful characters, lovely descriptive paragraphs and occasional points of action and excitement, but the overall plot was WAY too slow to keep me hooked and the self-pitying attitude of the main character got pretty old, pretty quickly.

Lovely Story

It was a lovely story, gently told, good transitions between characters and the narration was clear. However by the end I wanted to slap someone. The lead character was whiny and coming across as pathetic. I only kept listening to hear the end of the story. A little less whining and I would have enjoyed it more.

The Last of the Moon Girls

I really enjoyed this book. Ignore the other reviews that slate the narrator, she was almost perfect.

Tolerable story dire narration

Awful reading, some voice differentiation for different characters, but grating nasal tone and whiny delivery was really irritating.

I was expecting something more

Slow with the story development, a lot of repetition and stagnation. I loved the title. I guess I was expecting something more... epic based on that.

bare with it, its worth it!

id been recommended this book so wanted to finish it but I really struggled with the narrator, so difficult to listen to, all breathy and slow, for the first time ever I sped up the book a little bit to 1.15 and that made it more bearable. by the time I got a few chapters in I was hooked and barely noticed the irritating narration.
the story is beautiful, turned in ways I didn't expect in places. don't let the narration stop you pushing through It does get better.
