When the Moon Turns to Blood: Lori Vallow, Chad Daybell, and a Story of Murder, Wild Faith, and End Times by Leah Sottile

4.0

I started this book the day after I finished Under the Banner of Heaven and it couldn’t have worked out better because they are so similar - both are about people twisting their religion to suit their own extreme beliefs. In fact, the murderers from Under the Banner of Heaven are mentioned at the end of this book. This was a really good true crime novel. It really gives a look into the spiral of Chad & Lori and how it ended with the death of two children plus other adults. There were parts that were a bit slow for me but the ending really picked up and showed what the days before the murders looked like. I hope Lori & Chad get what they deserve (life in prison - trials are forthcoming).
