![A Court of Wings and Ruin (1 of 3) [Dramatized Adaptation] Audiobook By Sarah J. Maas cover art](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519MZ9iKDyL._SL240_.jpg)
Publisher's summary
Forest. Fungi. Family secrets.
Reporter Maria Hart ventures into the depths of Nils Forest chasing a news story about a violent storm, but she never returns. Within months, four other people will also disappear in the woods.
Tech mogul David Eager lives at the forest's edge. He is haunted by Maria's disappearance, and something more. Fungus is common in the foggy woodland, but now its behaving in unnatural ways, creeping onto his property and into his dreams.
Maria's friend, Amy Matthews, hears strange rumors about Nils Forest and, motivated by a dark secret, decides to investigate for herself. It's no easy task. The terrain is notoriously rugged. But Amy is cunning and determined to find her former roommate, dead or alive.
Amy's not alone. Marias mother, desperate for answers about her daughter, joins the search. Together, they journey into the heart of Nils Forest where they make a chilling discovery—there's a new fungus in these woods, and it has transformative powers. As they push deeper into the trees, they uncover a terrifying, mind-bending force. Her name is The Spore Queen.

It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

Three months ago, Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees. At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk.

Buckhead isn’t a place you live, it’s a place you survive. And that applies even to the wealthy housewives that have it all. Fancy cars, designer clothes, and daily salon appointments aren’t nearly enough to keep them fulfilled and happy. Because in this town, privilege and opulence go hand in hand with betrayal and revenge. Jenny, the owner of Glow, an exclusive membership-only beauty salon, knows that better than anyone, because she knows everything about these housewives—down to each individual strand of hair.

It's snowing over every inch of the Earth; something that should not be possible.

Everyone is worried by the recent climatic events, but all Harry wants to do is drink alone.

Seven were the Godless Kings who took their war to Heaven. King Ertide Hostain was once known as the Crimson Prince. He fought side by side with angels and pegasi and defended the Sant Dien Empire against monsters. But his pact with Heaven has become strained. He has grown old, his body rots, and he has yet to choose which squabbling prince will be his heir. The Hostain dynasty has ruled over the empire for millennia, but when Ertide finds cryptic notes from his dead father, he realises not all is as it seems. Has history been rewritten? And if so, what is heaven hiding?

According to the FBI, I was considered a serial murderer after three kills. What do they call me after fifty-two? They call me the Silencer. One final bullet would have been all it took to stop me from taking another soul, and I would have been doing Meridian City a service by pulling that trigger. An angel crying for help stopped me, and that night, I took three lives for her. Then three turned into eight. Then eight turned into twenty. Twenty turned into twenty-one. Twenty-one turned into twenty-three.

Original and exciting!
The Spore Queen by Debra Castaneda
🍄🍄🟫🍄🍄🟫🍄
I was pleasantly surprised at how interesting and entertaining this book is! The story is very original and unique, and it drew me in right away from the strangeness.
It’s a very different type of horror story, with just the right amount of creepiness. It has more of a fantasy, folktale story feel. It’s amazing what these mushrooms/fungi organisms can do! Beautiful forms of nature can help heal humans!
The book is very well written and I enjoyed my first story from this author. The narrator did a very good job with the story also.
I can’t wait to check out more books from Debra Castaneda!

Made My Skin Crawl
I really enjoyed this book. The narrator reminded me of a young Betty White. I love the way Debra Castaneda creates characters with their own story lines, and eventually brings her characters together. Fungi already freaks me out a little bit, so this was a good creepy read for me. Even though it made me skin crawl (in a good way), The Spore Queen is a beautifully written story.
