A Dowry of Blood
by S.T. Gibson
This book has so many things that I love (vampires, queerness, haunting/lyrical prose), but I have to admit that I was underwhelmed. The book isn't bad by any means, it was just much simpler than I was expecting. It does a good job of establishing an abusive power dynamic, manipulation, and what that can do to someone. That dynamic is made even more complex when attributed to vampires because he did, after all, give them whole new life (and in Constanta's case, saved hers).
However, there just wasn't anything drawing me to the book. I picked up and finished two other books in the course of reading this one, and if not for my KU subscription ending I may have kept putting off finishing it. The character's are well described and have life breathed into them, but not much else is particularly memorable.
