All the Crooked Saints is set in Colorado. The book was fairly heavy on the magical realism, and arguably it really could have been set in just about any state without changing the story much at all.
Wickedly SpiritedThis is a novella that is a "half" number in this series about the Baba Yagas in the US - told from the perspective of a teen apprentice. It's set in Wyoming, and I'm stunned to realize I haven't been there yet! (Adding it to my to-visit list!)
Natchez Burning by Greg Iles. I'd driven through Mississippi once before, but started reading this just before we spent more time there this winter. The book is long, but provides a good perspective on the history and race relations in the area.
The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True HermitI just finished this book. It takes place in Maine, a state I have yet to visit. It was a fascinating story of a man who lived in the woods of Maine for over twenty years. I highly recommend it!
