Description

What's a girl to do when she discovers she's the main course on the menu?


Hip, funny Milagro de los Santos thinks she's finally found love and a home at the California ranch of fabulous Oswald Grant and his urbane relatives, who have a rare genetic disorder that some call vampirism. But Milagro is bewildered when she's excluded from an ancient and mysterious midnight ceremony whose participants include Oswald's unfriendly parents, a creepy family elder, and Milagro's ex-lover, the powerful and decadent Ian Ducharme. What skeletons are the vampires keeping in their designer closets?

When Milagro's life is threatened by a rogue family member, she flees to the desert to hide. Instead of solitude, she encounters an egomaniacal actor, a partying heiress, a sly tabloid reporter, and a lavish spa full of dark secrets -- all of which might help her find a way home.

"Acosta shines... sexy, sardonic...Milagro will continue to amaze readers in Acosta's terrific new adventure."

-- Booklist

"For a book that's ultra-hip and very now, look no further than Marta Acosta's Midnight Brunch...The delight is in Acosta's clever, fresh voice, which moves the narrative at a rollicking pace."

-- Bookpage

"An addictive combo plate of romance and vamp satire." -- Publishers Weekly

-- Publishers Weekly

"Fun and flirty."

-- Julie Kenner, author of Carpe Demon and The Givenchy Code

"Marta Acosta's vampire story reads like a comedy of manners with fangs, or perhaps a rancho romance with bite, but either way, her narrator Milagro brings a spicy Latina voice to a genre that is in dire need of some new blood."

-- Christopher Moore, New York Times bestselling author of A Dirty Job
