They are killers; their identities are unknown even to themselves. Assassins are some of the most well trained people in the entire world. They can put pain out and can get any job done no matter what. They are turned almost back to childhood mentally. They have mental walls built up inside of them forcing them to forget the past and build up new identities. Seemingly any identity the ones in charge of them wants. They are tortured and taught to like it. They are put through endless training and emotional tampering. Some can even put all emotions out. All of this and much more was described and told in the book Saint by Ted Dekker.

The book Saint was always captivating and held my attention all the way through. Through all of the action parts and all of the romance and even the complicated thinking parts were interesting. The way the author Ted Decker writes is very interesting. The way he words things in his book you would almost think aren’t grammatically correct. In fact his writing style is so much different than most authors, it would almost feel as if you were reading a book for the first time, and it is very enjoyable.

Throughout the entire book there is tension that will leave you grasping to every word written in the book’s 347 amazing pages. The intense battles that Carl goes through in himself and with others will keep you wanting more long after the book is over. There was also one of the most interesting relationships in the book between Carl and his caretaker Kelly. The way there relationship worked was almost like pet and master and yet in the book you could feel the love between them and the willingness to please each other. The book did not just simply tell about their feelings for each other it showed them through multiple ways both romantic and unusual.

Thankfully this book is just the first of a trilogy so your thirst for more of the book might be filled. I would highly recommend this book to any reader looking for a book were the can get lost in the text and take on a new persona called Saint.
