Please, my heart is so happy 🥹
ASOBAI follows Ava, a witch trained as a demonologist. One day, a possessed man named Rory is brought into the place she works, and she is tasked with extracting information from the demon within him, as well as trying to rid him of said demon.
What follows next is a chain of events that leads Ava on a journey where she is forced to deal with a tragedy of her past and her growing, complicated feelings for not only Rory, but the devilish demon possessing him.
Katia's writing is exceptional, her ability to weave emotion and heart into scenes is truly breathtaking. It was so easy to lose myself in the world she created. Ava's vulnerability and determination as a character was amazing to read, and I love that Katia didn't shy away from showing those hard feelings that so often accompany past trauma.
On the MMCs side, we have Rory + Vain, and without giving too much away, let me just say that I loved seeing their deep bond and that twist at the end? So unexpected but so good 🥹
This is the perfect book to read to get your witchy, demony, Fall vibes fix.
