Marta Acosta Rocks
I’m a big Marta Acosta fan. I love her writing voice. Completely fell for the vampire world she created in HAPPY HOUR AT CASA DRACULA. Awesome book. The trade version is a bargain book at B&N Online right now, so go pick it up or grab the mass market version for even less.
While you’re at it you can pick up the third in this series, BRIDE OF CASA DRACULA , which was just released:
Milagro De Los Santos is having serious problems planning her wedding to fabulous Oswald Grant, M.D. Her future in-laws loathe her, her dog just died, and Oswald’s family has a genetic anomaly that makes them crave blood. Then her extravagant best friend hijacks the role of wedding coordinator, and the secretive Vampire Council assigns conniving Cornelia Ducharme to guide the couple through the ancient vampire marriage rituals.
To top it all off, Milagro’s career is on the skids. She’s reduced to ghost-writing the memoirs of a loony little man who claims to be a shapeshifter. And why does Cornelia’s decadent, way too attractive brother, Ian, always show up whenever Milagro is away from Oswald? When a series of accidents interferes with wedding plans, Oswald worries that Milagro is cracking under the pressure. Is she just paranoid, or is a hidden enemy trying to make sure Milagro doesn’t wed the undead?
I know how I’m using my B&N membership discount coupon…
