Three years have passed since magic destroyed the world. Those who remain struggle to survive the monsters roaming the streets, fighting back with steel and magic—the very weapons that birthed the Howls in the first place. Tenn is one such Hunter, a boy with the ability to harness the elements through ancient runes. For years, the Hunters have used this magic to keep the monsters at bay, but it's never been enough to truly win the war. Humans are losing. When Tenn falls prey to an incubus named Tomas and his terrifying Kin, Tenn learns there's more to this than a fight for survival. He's a pawn in a bigger game, one with devastating consequences. If he doesn't play his part, it could cost him his life, his lover and his world.

      Gr 9 Up-Tenn, a teen mage with the ability to use Earth and Water spheres, battles a plethora of ghouls, zombies, necromancers, and his own secrets in this dystopian zombie thriller. Post "resurrection" outposts of hunters try to keep humanity alive despite the work of necromancers to create as many deadly zombies and other monsters as possible. Tenn struggles to keep himself and his boyfriend alive even as he discovers that the most powerful necromancer in the world is hunting him down. Gods, witches, and incubi all tell him that he is more powerful than he realizes, but he has to find out the key to his power before his quest for revenge leaves him at the mercy of darker forces. Martyr has an interesting premise and plenty of action. However, the convoluted backstory and overly complex fantasy elements make the story feel frenetic, instead of exciting. An uneven mix of flowery prose and awkward dialogue will make it hard for teens to relate to the characters. With the sheer volume of more well-conceived and skillfully written zombie, fantasy, and dystopian YA novels on the market, this one is not recommended.-Sunnie Lovelace, Wallingford Public Library, CT
