About this product

Product Information

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.

    I really enjoyed the biting humor in Marta Acosta's first novel, Happy Hour at Casa Dracula.

I am happy to report that Midnight Brunch has even more of a cutting edge and dark humor than Marta's first effort. This novel can be read as a stand-alone novel but, if you have read Happy Hour at Casa Dracula, you are already familiar with the main character, Milagro, who continues to stumble into wild and outrageous situations among vampire society. Milagro is funny, sexy and quirky and throw her into a situation and comedy ensues. The only downside I can see is that now I have to wait for some unknown time until Marta writes ...
