This is a book about a young boy trying to live a good life so he can become a priest.
Thank you to NetGallery and Atmosphere Press for an advanced copy of this book.

Saints and Martyrs was interesting and not really in a good way. The book opens with Damian in his basement room, listening to his mother homeschooling and remembering the lessons she was teaching to his younger siblings. They are a religious house--overly religious--so, obviously, Damian masturbates to a catalog then feels guilty about it because he wants to be a priest. He follows the road that has been determined for him and the story begins its roller-coaster ride. It was a slog to get through and I was not a fan of the characters or writing style. Others may find this to be a great book though.

Thank you NetGalley and Atmosphere Press for the opportunity to read an advance reading copy.

I received an advance copy of, Saints and Martyrs, by Aaron Roe, this book is very interesting and different, a little intense at times, but all in all a good story.
