It's not often I feel completely immersed in a book right from the beginning. I usually find myself with the need to look around a bit to get the lay of the land so to speak. But as with her first novel Red, @s.voerman immediately pulled me into the world of Æsa.
A plot centered around a vampire attempting to find redemption through the rescue of a siren could easily go south in the hands of an unskilled author, but in Voerman's hands, the results are magic.
There's just enough backstory given for Nikolai and Æsa at the beginning, and from there the story forms so organically that it feels like you're a silent participant in what's happening. So much so that at times it feels as if you could reach out and pet Kashmir, who I think might be my favorite literary dog now 🥺😭🖤
Books that you love are the hardest ones to write reviews for I think. And I love this book. There's absolutely NO way I can do Æsa justice in describing the plot or the characters. What I'm left with is the indelible mark this book made and the emotions it conjured.
Voerman is a masterful storyteller, and officially an auto-buy author for me now. The wait for her next book is figuratively killing me 💀
