This book was captivating, easy to read and I would read it again. It is written in a poetic way from the view point of Constanta writing her last love letter to "You". I will admit the first few pages I had to adjust to reading that style of writing.

You know from the start that "You" died, but it doesn't matter because you want to know the journey. You want to know how the MFC developed over the course of time to reach that decision.

There is spice throughout the book. Like the rest of the book it is written very poetically, though you do know the details of what is happening. There are also polygamous scenes.

TW:
This book does have some dark themes, but the author has listed these at the start of the book.

As someone escaping a toxic polycule, this was a kick in the balls for me.

An absolutely stunning and haunting tale of letters from Contessa, one of Draculas wives, during their life together. 

It was gory, sexy, horrifying and beautiful all at the same time. This was everything I wanted from a brides of Dracula book.
