Favorite Female Character: Wren Warren
Favorite Male Character: Derek Pewter-Flores
Notable Quote: “No one was coming. No one was ever coming to help us.”
This book was great! I haven’t read much horror, but this was a fantastic way to start. Small-town romance and mystery meets magical realism in a brilliant clash of relatable, detailed writing. The characters feel like real people, and the setting could be a place just down the road. Overall, an amazing read. Congratulations to the author on her debut novel.

For Wren Warren, her family's farm is her entire life. The literal rainbow of waves of grain that earned the farm its name, Rainbow Fields, are an amazing natural feat. Some might say supernatural. And with a blight ravaging the four founding family farms (say that five times fast), no farm is safe. When Wren notices the blight beginning to spread to her family's farm, she calls the only person she can--Derek, her ex. Unresolved feelings, forced proximity, and exposed secrets abound. Now, Wren and Derek (along with his family) have to fight to survive as the last people who haven't succumbed to the brutal blight.

Not many books distress me anymore; like in a clutching frantically onto my cat and mom in a "if I was in this situation I would simply *pass away*" sort of way. This book. This book right here is a horror novel in a small town where nothing is quite as it seems. It's giving what Small Favors was supposed to give. It had me stressed. I'm pretty sure I was more stressed about this book than I was for some of my college classes lol. I would highly recommend this book, it's perfect for spooky season, especially September!
