I received a gifted copy and am providing a review. (Not my
picture, published May 2022.)
Ivy Hon is adopted, living her life in California with her
cat, Onyx, and a somewhat strained relationship with her brother, Carson, their
parents having passed on. Ivy has a medical condition that no one seems to have
the answers to or for, so she decides to take an online DNA test. Much to her
surprise, she gets a hit which leads her to Lottie, her cousin. After reaching
out, Lottie is most excited to learn about Ivy and invites her to Washington
State to meet some of her family. Ivy’s intention is to learn about her medical
history on her biological parents’ side, both her mother and her father, but
the more she starts to question the more doors start to close. She finds
herself captivated by the tale of the Full Moon Killer. You’ll have to read the
book to find out the answers Ivy uncovers.
This is the first book I have read by Ms. Marr and I am
intrigued by her writing style. It is clear-cut and to the point, with
backstories intertwined, messed-up family relationships, and the story of what
adoptees go through, especially when it comes to health history. The characters
Ms. Marr created in this book are very relatable, if somewhat unsuspecting. Wait
until you get to the whodunit! I look forward to more of Ms. Marr’s work.
