arnoutbrokking 's review for:
A Dowry of Blood
by S.T. Gibson
A queer re-imagining of Dracula’s brides, spanning many centuries and traveling to many countries.
A Dowry of Blood is the story of Constanta, "saved" from death by a vampire, trapped in an unhealthy relationship and her struggle to get out from under his influence.
If you like vampires, queer romance novels and the like, then this one might be for you. In some ways it reminded me of 'Blood & Chocolate', although I feel that 'A Dowry of Blood' has a better message at its core. It's a quick read, perfect for rainy evenings.
Personally, I couldn't quite connect with it. Maybe because I wanted to get to know the times and places they were in a little better, maybe because, since the book is not very long, the subtext has to be quite overt at times.
