Pelekete
In the middle of the Enlightenment Age, Roberto is a sixteen-year-old novitiate caught between two the monastic life he has been committed to, and the modern world he’s forced to leave behind. Lost in the wilderness of Eastern Europe during a freezing storm, he and his mentor stumble upon Pelekete, a secluded monastery where a small group of monks reluctantly gives them refuge.
The abbey proves to be a strange and ominous place. Whispers carry through the halls. Crows linger on the crumbled cornices like gargoyles. Strange dreams fester in the minds of all who sleep here.
Soon, the dark secrets of Pelekete begin to unravel, thrusting the novitiate into a life-or-death struggle of faith, deception, insanity, and evil.

Twists, turns, faith, doubt, crows. What a banger of a first novel from a guy I definitely don’t know and didn’t live with
But seriously, I was on the edge of my seat constantly. Thought I figured it out, but alas, I did not. And I’m glad I didn’t.
Putting this here for now until I can fully process, will return soon. 4.5 stars from this guy.
