What good is a legacy when it’s always been a lie?

Wren is the latest Warren in a long line of farmers. The Warrens are one of four founding families of miracle farms in Hollow’s End. Between rainbow wheat and glowing melons, visitors flock to the town for the sparkling fruits with the mysterious health benefits.

That is, until a quicksilver blight puts the entire town into quarantine. It’s taken over not only their farms, but their livestock, and even their people. They change. They turn into zombies intent on only feeding the blight. 

Wren teams up with ex-boyfriend Derek to figure out all the secrets of the farm in order to save their lives.

I’m a big fan of cult stories, small towns, and secrets. What We Harvest had all three. There were even a few bonuses:  the horror was much more than what I expected from a young adult book.

I loved watching the entire story of the farms unfold. Unfortunately for me, I had figured out the end of the story and the twists pretty early. I’m not all that mad about it though—I enjoyed it! I can’t wait to see what else Ann Fraistat has to offer.

Thank you to NetGalley and Delacorte Press for this advanced review copy! What We Harvest releases on March 22nd.
