"We have all seen trees grow in odd places. Bent out of shape, warped by their surroundings. You grow from mistakes. The two of you aren't the same people you were last year."
Wil Greene has been searching for evidence about her missing mother for a year. She believes her former best friend's family is to blame but the police won't listen to her, they believe her mom just up and left town one day. But she knows her mom wouldn't have done such a thing to her family.
Elwood Clarke (former best friend) knows he's bound to dedicating his life to his father's church, the Garden of Adam once he's 18. It isn't until he comes home from a party he secretly went to behind his parent's backs and overhears his father's plan to sacrifice him that spurts him running away.
Elwood and Wil run into each other in the woods as she makes her way to stalk his family and he runs from them. They team up and discover lots of secrets burrowed deep within their town.
If you love horror, friends-enemies-lovers romance, dual pov, cinnamon roll mmc, snappy fmc, then this story is for you.
This book is full of both beautiful nature and creepy gothic nature that makes your skin crawl. I liked Wil's character but not as much as sweet Elwood. I loved the idea of this story, but I felt some scenes were rushed and others were slow. So I wouldn't say this was a favorite of mine.
The gorgeous cover and Elwood are all that I like about this book.
