In Moonlight Becomes You the team have travelled to a Virginian town where several members of the local black community have been viciously murdered. The team is there to investigate whether the claims of a werewolf attacking the community is true or if it is a far more sinister and human threat: the local Ku Klux Klan. 

I enjoyed the second instalment of the Eidola Project a lot! You can tell that since the characters were introduced in the previous book, that there is a lot more focus on the overall story of this book. However, this does not mean there isn’t still a focus on character progression in Moonlight Becomes You. We’re still introduced to more of Nigel’s power and why he is unable to stop the horrors he foresees, we also delve more into the personal lives of both Edgar and Annabelle in this one. 

Because of when and where Moonlight Becomes You takes place, and with the KKK involved in the story, I do want to warn potential readers that there is racism throughout it. There is clear description of segregation and violence towards the black characters, especially towards Edgar. While I understand this is a realistic depiction of the time, I do think it can be a lot so know this before you start the book. 

As with the first book, the Eidola Project, if you enjoy historical fiction and the supernatural, this may be for you – especially if you like the idea of werewolves that aren’t romanticised!
