A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson
4.0
I was given this book as an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
Written from the point of view of Constanta, this is a Dracula's wives reminaging. It's written in the form of a letter, or journal entry, to the male main character, Constanta's sure, who is never given a name. The style of writing is consistent throughout and very enjoyable.
Constanta, Magdalena and Alexi are part of a polyamorous relationship with their Sire, and the book takes place through what seems to be many hundreds of years as they adjust to their "second lives". Their Sire is a possessive and controlling man, seeking to orchestrate every nuance of their lives.
I enjoyed this book, especially the writing style, and the characters had some depth and relatability. Although there is sexual content, it doesn't rule over the book and fits nicely in to the flow of the narration. Overall an enjoyable title with an interesting view on vampires and their quest to fill their immortal lives.
