That being said, I really did like it! I loved the gentle magic and the girl power. I’d read more of this author’s books for sure.

The Last of the Moon Girls is an interesting blend of the genres of magical realism and suspense. I didn't really know what I was in for, but this turned out to be a good, quick read with a light magical feel. The writing is something like a blend of Sarah Addison Allen and Alice Hoffman, creating an atmosphere full of cozy small town vibes and magic while also introducing a darker feel and an ostracizing community. The characters are colorful and the tension created by the suspense arc is just enough to move the story well without feeling oppressive. The narrative was mildly tropey and predictable, but in a way that might make it the perfect beach read. There were a few things that I thought fell in place to easily, but overall I enjoyed where the story took me. I would have loved more of the magical element in the story as well as additional backstory of the matriarchy itself, but I think that's always the case for me in magical realism stories to some degree. I had myself a good time with this read.
