Review
A Dowry Of
Blood is magnificent piece of Gothic Romance. I reread this special edition in
a short time, devouring it quicker than my first read through.
In this
harrowing but beguiling story we follow Constanta, one of Draculas brides. This
intricate and exquisite tale is a love letter to Dracula, about why the
relationship ended in the culmination of a brutal act of self-preservation.
Beautiful
and poetic this work of art is both substance and aesthetic. Written in a way
that is simple and elegant yet lyrical this novel is a fast-paced romantic
horror that is an excellent quick read. You'll savor every word of this novel.
Character
dynamics between Dracula and his three brides are deep, meaningful, and full of
passion. I found the relationship between Alexi and Constanta particularly
intriguing.
The special
edition I read featured an epilogue that was thoroughly rewarding, as well as
the beginning from Draculas perspective.
If you like
Gothic romance, vampires, and or horror this one is a novel you absolutely must
buy. It's not enough to read it. This should be in your collection.
