The police have all but called the missing person case of Wil Greene’s mom closed but Wil knows that her mom never would have just left. Something must have happened to her and Wil is convinced that her former best friend Elwood’s family is involved. On the cusp of turning 18, Elwood discovers that he is not to follow in his father’s footsteps of leading the Garden of Adam congregation, but rather be their sacrifice to the blood thirsty woods. Despite their estrangement, he turns to Wil for help in running from his family. What will become of Wil and Elwood when their new partnership uncovers secrets of a longstanding cult in their town?

TOGETHER WE ROT had an interesting premise for a YA horrormance read but unfortunately the execution felt mediocre. I wish there had been more character development. The ending seemed very rushed after a somewhat slow pace throughout the earlier portion of the book. I really liked the concept and the atmospheric vibes were great, though it just fell flat for me overall.

TOGETHER WE ROT didn’t quite work for me though fans of YA horrormance may enjoy it more.
