What if Hereditary was YA? Together We Rot is a small town, paranormal mystery (with a side of romance) perfect for fans of Bittersweet In The Hollow. The writing is pretty fast-paced enough to keep a reader interested. The lore was fascinating, and the found family was fun to read about, especially their hilarious, sarcastic-filled banter. However, I felt that the buildup of the story and the writing could’ve used a little bit more polishing. It didn’t feel mysterious enough for me, and I thought it could’ve been way darker (despite being YA yes trust me it works just fine). Looking forward to this author’s future works, though!
