4.05 AVERAGE


Read more than half of this book but DNFed an am still marking it as read because I had to witness *that*.. 
See, the only reason I was sticking around was because the writing is good. She has an excellent prose, in my opinion. However, I’ve heard this author loves to sneak in incest in majority of her books in any way she can and aah!! Nobody warned me?? “Come and kiss your sister” he says as they then all proceed to fuck?? Noooooo aaah yuck yuck. That scene was so gross. I’m in no way a smut girly so I was already grossed out not knowing this book would be filled with it but yeah! Not a fan, don’t recommend.. I need more vampire books as I’m on the hunt for some but not this one!

Absolutely loved this.

The writing was so beautiful and immersive. The author did so much with the characters in so little time.

Would definitely recommend and could see myself rereading.

A Dowry of Blood is a compelling page turner about the brides of Dracula. It closely follows the story of Constanta, a young woman who was “saved” by Dracula. Throughout the story we see how Dracula uses power to control his family and how this power led to his downfall.
