"When the Moon Turns to Blood" is a harrowing and captivating tale that delves into the realm of apocalyptic obsession and murder. Author Leah Sottile takes us on a thrilling journey through every twist and turn of the case, providing an expert guide to the dark tributaries of religious extremism that run closer to the American mainstream than we'd ever like to believe.

The story begins when police in Rexburg, Idaho, conduct a wellness check on seven-year-old J.J. Vallow and his sister, sixteen-year-old Tylee Ryan. To their surprise, both children are nowhere to be found. Their mother, Lori Vallow, offers a phony explanation, and when officers return the following day with a search warrant, she, too, vanishes. As the police begin to close in, a larger web of mystery, murder, fanaticism, and deceit unravels.

The case of Vallow is intricately complex. As investigators delve deeper, they discover that the accused Black Widow has an unusual number of bodies piling up around her. The story explores the depths of extreme beliefs, snake oil prophets, and raises the question: how are people supposed to act when it feels like the world is ending?

"When the Moon Turns to Blood" is a gripping narrative that captivates readers with its vivid portrayal of characters and the chilling events that unfold. It sheds light on the darker side of human nature and the lengths people will go to in the name of their beliefs. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in true crime, religious extremism, and the psychological complexities of human behavior."
