The Spore Queen by Debra Castaneda

4.0

(3.5 stars, I really enjoyed this!)
This is a fun summer read that takes place in the area of Mendocino, CA near the Lime Kiln State Parks. A journalist heads out to the Redwoods to do a story on a storm that brought down a lot of trees. She never returns. Her parents, Lori and Julian are determined to find her.

This would be perfect for readers who enjoy
- Eco-Thrillers/Horror
-Nature with healing or magic properties like Chuck Wendig's, Black River Orchard
-Sporror, fungus, mushrooms, mycelium
-Missing people mysteries
- Mexican folklore, brujeria, gods and goddesses
- cults
- the stories, style, and subject of V. Castro and Jennifer Givhan's River Woman, River Demon
