Indian Burial Ground by Nick Medina
5.0

Nick Medina is officially an auto-buy author. I previously read Sisters of the Lost Nation and found it utterly captivating, and this book was no different.

This incorporates real life issues (missing Indigenous women) with Indigenous mythology, and Medina has a knack for walking the line between the natural and supernatural which creates an ominously unsettling feeling rather than straight up horror. The story is switches seamlessly between present day, middle-aged Noemi and her uncle Louie's perspective from when he was a teenager and Noemi was just a toddler. The pieces fall together in a beautifully told story.

If Nick Medina writes it, I will buy it.
