A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson
5.0
Thank you NetGalley and Nyx publishing for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
“You did not let me keep my name, so I will strip you of yours. In this world, you are what I say you are, and I say you are a ghost, a long night’s fever dream that I have finally woken up from”
A Dowry of Blood is a modern retelling of Dracula’s Brides, told by Constanta to her nameless lover and sire.
Filled with some of the lushest most swoon worthy writing I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading, truly a lyrical masterpiece, my inadequate words do not do justice to how fantastic this book was. I wanted to savour ever word and let them sink into my soul.
“We’ve waltzed through a hundred tiny apocalypses, you and I, walked unharmed through the ash of countless crumbling regimes. We feast on the ruin of empires,“
This was the vampiric tale of desire, obsession, and strength I have always wanted and with polyamory added in!
Ugh I loved this so hard, I’m off to go buy myself a copy.
