"Wil Greene's mom has been missing for over a year, and the police are ready to call the case closed--they claim she skipped town and you can't find a woman who wants to disappear. But she knows her mom wouldn't just leave ... and she knows the family of her former best friend, Elwood Clarke, has something to do with it. Elwood has been counting down the days until his 18th birthday--in dread. It marks leaving school and joining his pastor father in dedicating his life to their congregation, the Garden of Adam. But when he comes home after one night of after a final goodbye with his friends, already self-flagellating for the sins of drinking and disobeying his father, he discovers his path is not as virtuous as he thought. He's not his father's successor, but his sacrifice. For the woods he's grown up with are thirsty, and must be paid in blood. Now on the run from a family that wants him dead, he turns to the only one who will believe him: Wil. Together, they form a reluctant partnership; she'll help him hide if he helps her find evidence that his family killed her mother. But in the end they dig up more secrets than they bargained for, unraveling decades of dark cult dealings in their town, led by the Clarke family. And there's a reason they need Elwood's blood for their satanic rituals. Something inhuman is growing inside of him. Everywhere he goes, the plants come alive and the forest calls to him, and Wil isn't sure if she can save the boy she can't help but love"--

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.
