A Dowry of Blood is a reimagining of Dracula's Bride - Constanta. She's telling her own story, but less like a diary read and more as a healing declaration.
🎭Theme: Horror done....appropriately? Delicately? Dam good for sure. It's subtle in it's vampire/Dracula theme. For instance, Constanta doesn't call him Dracula, you just know. She doesn't use the word vampire, you know based on what's happening. I oddly liked that, it humanized the situations and adds to the emotional connection you build with Constanta.
🎧Audiobook Length: 5 Hours
•I purchased this audiobook from Audible during a Daily Deal sale and seriously cannot recommend it enough. Abby Craden SLAYS as Constanta. Her tone and dialect had me hooked. I FELT her emotions and dreamy storytelling.
