Small Favors

I love this book as much as I loved [b:House of Salt and Sorrows 39679076 House of Salt and Sorrows Erin A. Craig https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1544071699l/39679076.SY75.jpg 61277707]. While the pacing may be on the slower side, the haunting atmosphere really brings life to the setting and characters. I love the dynamics between the Downing sisters, and while their brother Samuel is a piece of garbage, it's also fun to see what kind of mess he would cause next. The schadenfreude is truly amazing. Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, they leap beyond your expectations and turn into full-blown chaos. The pandemonium that befalls the town by the end of the book is absolutely beautiful, no wonder the Dark Watchers are so into the idea. Can totally relate.The only reason why I didn't rate this 5 stars is because I'd really like to know more about the Dark Watchers, since we learn about them so late into the story and the plot doesn't offer much room for them to get more fleshed out. This book isn't about them after all, but if they have a story to tell, I'd love to read it.
