 This book definitely gives the fall spooky feels.  Set on Vancouver Island, this story of a intern setting out to study mycology is full of suspense and intrigue as weird things start happening and the question becomes who do you trust- including yourself?  There is some romance – I will say it felt a little fast at first, but it all makes sense in the end.  It did suck me in, and I may have stayed up late to finish reading and trying to figure out what was going on.  

 The book also felt very well researched with its information on mycology (study of mushrooms) as well as ADHD which the main character experiences.
