A Dowry of Blood

alikadabra shared a tip "It wasn't exactly what I was expecting or hoped it would be, but it has beautiful prose and an in-depth look at abuse. I wish there had been less focus on the spice and more on the characters and their development and (non-sexual) relationships to each other"

YourRoyalThighness shared a tip "Let me tell you, this book scratched an itch I’ve had for a certain prose ever since reading “Carmilla”. Everything about it was perfection."

amanda_hall_8605 shared a tip "An amazing reimagining of Dracula and his brides that speaks on love, courage, narcissism, and abuse. As someone who found themselves in a similar position, I was blown away by the ending and found myself empathizing with all the brides. Exploring such a heavy topic and reworking it into a vampire novel was a stroke of genius; it highlights the severity of the abuse the victims faced while showing that it is always possible to break free and cultivate a better life."

danielle_wahl shared a tip "Just got done reading this tonight. Very interesting writing style but definitely worth the hype that it get. I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars."

grace.reads08 shared a tip "I loved everything about this book. This was a fantastic reimagining of Dracula's Brides, as told from one of the brides herself, in the form of an open letter. I was hooked from the very first page. The lyrical/gothic writing style on this was stunning. The relationship between the characters and their struggles were so incredibly compelling. I also think the epistolary format worked really well with this story. 5⭐s!! #dracula #vampires #horror #books #bookreviews"
