A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson

dark tense

5.0

Beautiful and romantic and horrific and dark. I was heartbroken and then sewn back up. I’ll think about this book for a long, long time. 

“I should have said no. I should have stamped my foot, or begun to cry, or icily demanded we leave right away. But I didn’t. I loved you too much, my lord. I craved you like maidens crave the grave, the way death burns for human touch: inconsolably, unrelentingly, aching for the annihilation in your kiss. I had no practice saying no to you.”
