Dracula’s bride 

Letter format 

Lyrical writing 

AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR WAS PHENOMENAL 

 

This book explores power dynamics, manipulation, gaslighting, manufactured consent, and how hard it is to leave these abusive relationships. 

 

The author is very intentional with their word choices and it shows and it has an impact on the context and the way you understand the relationship. 

 

  And one thing I love about this book, is even though she is Dracula’s bride, we never hear his name. And she says, and I quote “You did not let me keep my name, so I will strip you of yours.”
