Indian Burial Ground by Nick Medina
4.0
It is a chilling horror mystery steeped in Native American mythology, cultural tensions, and eerie supernatural events. Noemi Broussard is a young woman on the cusp of starting a new chapter in her life. She’s leaving behind the reservation she grew up on, and her new boyfriend, Roddy, seems like a bright spot in her life. But everything unravels when Roddy is found dead in an apparent suicide. As Noemi struggles to make sense of his tragic death, she begins to suspect that something much darker is at play.
Things take an even more unsettling turn when Noemi’s Uncle Louie returns to the reservation after years of estrangement. Louie’s past is full of secrets and horrors, and his reappearance seems to coincide with disturbing occurrences—people acting strangely, and unexplained supernatural events. Together, Noemi and Louie are drawn into a hunt for the truth, which leads them deep into the myths and mysteries of their tribal lands.
But as the pieces begin to come together, Noemi wonders if the secrets they uncover are better left buried. The more they dig into Roddy’s death and the unsettling occurrences around the reservation, the more they risk unleashing something that could endanger them all.
