Broken Lies. Te Tapu Gothic, #2

In a village held hostage by lies, the dead refuse to be silenced.1964, Te Tapu Village, Aotearoa New Zealand When eighteen-year-old Maggie Carrie follows her best friend into the glade behind the primary school, she knows it will be a mistake. The older boys joining them are trouble. One is an O'Regan. and that makes him dangerous. But what she doesn't know is that some mistakes are inescapable. Some must be lived again and again, night after night, decade after decade, until those she loves are hurt, too. 2015Something has changed at Te Tapu Primary School.
The presence of a mysterious plaque on the caretaker's shed seems to have awoken an evil long thought put to rest - a watchful presence, hungry for retribution. Natalie Sullivan, a fiercely headstrong teacher, senses the darkness immediately. When a troubled child with a special gift joins her class, she knows she must protect him. But, in doing so, she must confront her own family's tangled past - even if that means hurting the people closest to her.
Every truth unearthed reveals the lies that have poisoned Te Tapu for generations. Because in this village, the past isn't buried. it merely waits. Broken Lies begins where Unspoken Truths ends, delivering a haunting, contemporary gothic mystery with generational secrets so powerful that love and hate transcend life. and death.
