Chapter 1Description
Vampires don't exist in this day and age...or do they?
Milagro De Los Santos needs to get her career on track -- and a sexy man to come home to. At a party for her ex-boyfriend, she meets the unusually attractive Oswald Grant, who sweeps her off her feet. But when he bites her in the heat of passion and she instantly falls ill, Milagro realizes Oswald is not just any fabulous man -- he's a vampire. Whisked away to his family's estate to recover, Milagro learns the ins and outs of vampirism while falling for a wickedly inappropriate man. But when the vampires' lives are threatened, Milagro uses her wits, her wiles, and an incredibly whacky scheme to bring down a power-mad secret society that refuses to let the undead live and love in peace.
"A fun, snappy read for romantic fantasy fans."
-- Booklist
"Hilarious...fresh and sassy...a keeper."
-- Romantic Times (4 1/2 stars)
"Page-turning excitement...wickedly snarky."
-- El Paso Times
"Darkly hilarious....Acosta flings every vampire cliché out the window. You'd have to be undead not to enjoy this book."
-- Julia Spencer-Fleming, author of To Darkness And To Death
"No margaritas are required to make Happy Hour At Casa Dracula laugh-out-loud funny....Acosta's narrative zips along, keeping the pages turning faster than a salsa dancer."
-- Fresh Fiction
"A cross between Bridget Jones's Diary and Interview with the Vampire."
-- Latina magazine
"Humor and Page-turning Excitement . . . Happy Hour at Casa Dracula centers on the wickedly snarky Milagro de los Santos, a single, sexy, Ivy League-educated, starving novelist. Milagro stumbles into an underworld of vampires when she attends a book party for a pretentious (and frustratingly successful) ex-boyfriend. . . . great fun . . . highly engaging . . . a sort of Chicana Bridget Jones for the vampire set."
-- El Paso Times, Daniel A. Olivas
