Nice. A quick & easy read, didn't find myself drawn into the story as a participant, just a sort of voyeuristic watching from the wings as I suppose our blood-drinking protagonist must have watched the world. Chortled at the bit about horrible Victorians, & who doesn't love tortured horny bi vampires?

This was exactly what I expected from a dark romance vampire book, the writing was great and the book was very easy to go through, I also liked the characters, but I did not feel much "big emotions" while reading

Thank you to NetGalley and Nyx Publishing for an advanced copy to review.

This book is a lush and haunting tale of the lives of Dracula's brides. The prose is absolutely lyrical and pulls you in right from the start. I fell in love with each of the brides and felt for them in their relationships with Dracula. I especially loved the relationships between the brides and their love for each other. Gibson depicts the complexities of being in an abusive relationship, how they each loved him but feared him. I finished this in one sitting because I could not put it down. It even got me out of a reading slump. This was just so beautiful and I will definitely be purchasing my own physical copy for future rereads.
