Moonlight Becomes You by Robert Herold

4.0

This is the second book in the Eidola Project series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I definitely preferred this one to the first one!

Moonlight Becomes You follows the team of the Eidola Project as they are called to a small town experiencing strange beast attacks. However, some in the town don’t want them involved.

I really enjoyed coming back to these characters. Nigel went through so much growth in this book, I loved to see him developing as a character. I really hated him in the first book, but my opinion is slowly starting to change. I really enjoyed the way this was written, it had a great pace and I found myself wanting to keep reading.

I really liked that Robert touches on some important topics in this book, primarily racism. I will never stop finding events of the past (and sadly the present) truly horrifying. However, it is done with a great sensitivity which helped to keep a relatively up-beat feel to the book. The writing really grounds you in the period which created a wonderful and haunting atmosphere. Although I had not guessed who the beast was, I wasn’t overly shocked by the reveal. That being said, I still thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am really looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I would recommend this series to fans of historical fiction grounded in paranormal themes. Although this could be read as a standalone, I recommend reading the first book initially as it gives more insight into the characters. I want to thank Robert Herold for allowing me to read this book and give my personal thoughts.
