A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson
5.0
This book wasn’t at all what I expected and it gets 5 stars.
What a hauntingly beautiful story. I felt as if I was reading someone’s diary as they recounted the years with you. So many promises of life and adventure that ended up being death and solitude. Constanta learned your ticks and tells and knew when to make herself smaller to keep the peace. But you can only cage someone for so long before the shackles get too tight.
I wonder about your past brides and lovers and the stories they would’ve told. But you’ll never know the life that Constanta, Maggie, and Alexi have gone on to experience as your bones have settled into the dust and your name has been stripped from existence.
