The Last Of The Moon Girls - Barbara Davis

Ok. I think I get this now.

 

This is a romance. It's wrapped in an investigation into the murder of two girls and tied up with a bow of pagan magic but its got romance in its DNA.

 

So my earlier comments about it not feeling real need revision. It's not meant to be real. It's meant to evoke archetypes and twist tropes and it's doing that fairly well.
