Product 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.

Paranormal romance can be funny *and* smart! July 16, 2008 The Casa Dracula books are crisply written with great vivid characters--best of all it's laugh out loud funny.
Can't wait for the next installment!
Acosta does it again! July 6, 2008 From eccentric & sometimes annoying family members, to cryptic ceremonies, to boyfriends disappearing (even if it is for a good cause), to the return of a fabulous lover, to a tabloid journalist & a washed up heartthrob, Mrs. Acosta does it again in her sequel to Happy Hour at Casa Dracula. Her character development and story telling ability is spectacular. Marta is definitely one of a kind. Her writing is sexy & spicy, yet witty & charming. The lead character, Milagro de los Santos, is a beautiful Latina grad from an Ivy League school, trying to find her way as an author in a world she never would have believed in if it hadn't jumped out and bit her. Literally. Secrets & lies and even Mil's life being threatened as to where she has to hide away at an upscale desert resort, the impending chaos ensues. Will Mil get her happy ending? Pick this book up...you will not regret a single page!
Saucy Sequel June 25, 2008 Midnight Brunch is just as satisfying as Happy Hour. I loved the new cast of characters and the emotional vampire/actor at the resort. Marta's characters are very real and relatable and she infuses her knowledge of literature (like a previous reviewer I too squealed at the Northanger Abbey reference)and pop culture (heiress, self absorbed actor.) As a writer, I love to read Milagro's struggles with her career path. Again I love how Marta turned Vampire stereotypes upside down and tries to reinvent them. I can't wait to read Bride and I already pre ordered the book.
Casa Dracula Series book 2 June 23, 2008 I loved Midnight Brunch, I couldn't put it down, just like the first book, Happy Hour at Casa Dracula! The characters are well developed and you can almost feel the emotions.I simply could not put it down! Highly amusing, sexy, and exciting at the same time, a perfect combination! I can't wait for the next book.
Happy Hour at Casa Dracula November 12, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
One of the funniest books I've ever read, a combination of social satire, romance and amiable camp. It still brings a smile to my face. A new, inventive spin on the vampire myth with engaging, lovable, offbeat characters. Read the sequel.
