Atmospheric YA Horror

Erin Craig’s sophomore novel is just as atmospheric as her debut. I don’t think there was a moment where I wasn’t drawn in. It is one of those books where when I did put it down, it was because I wanted to prolong my reading time. Small Favors is set in an isolated town, Amity Falls, which lies in the middle of the mountains and is surrounded by woods, all boarded with bells. The story begins with the Downing’s bees and swiftly changes into something more sinister with the return of a single wounded horse—the rest of the autumn supply party missing and never to return. This novel contains elements of European folklore and American cryptids put together in a new, unique way. I loved it. Although this ARC was provided thanks to Net Galley, I’ve already preordered my copy.
