twirl 's review for:

A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson
4.0

Quick read, both much more spicier than I expected and much more depressing than I expected.

I loved the poetic writing but I felt it was also distancing the reader and therefore lacking character and world development. I wished for more of a twist or variation in the plot but it seemed pretty straightforward. The first few chapters were immediately captivating, but it slowly dragged on before becoming slightly rushed towards the end.

My rating lies somewhere between 3-4 stars. It was beautifully written and I am all for queer poly vampires but this was just not as impactful as I desired.
