Happy Hour at Casa Dracula by Marta Acosta from bookmooch. I saw Dottie reading this one and wanted to read it.
Despite her Fancy University (F.U.) degree, Milagro de los Santos isn’t having much success at life. She can barely pay the rent and all of her boyfriends are as frivolous as beach reads. Then, at a party in honor of her successful ex-boyfriend, she meets the unusually attractive, quirky Oswald Grant.
Who knew that her passionate kiss with Oswald would result in serious illness, a craving for raw meat, and an aversion to sunlight? Well, her ambitious ex knew, and after he attempts to kidnap Milagro, she must hide out with Oswald’s snobby family at their country estate to recover and learn the truth about their mysterious “genetic condition.”
When Oswald and his family are threatened, Milagro uses her wits, her wiles, and a whacky scheme to bring down the power-hungry creeps who refuse to let the undead live in peace.
What did you get this week?

ReplyDeleteHey!
ReplyDeleteHappy Hour at Casa Dracula sounds interesting. I like the cover.
This week I spent my money on a research book for my next book, so I don't have one to talk about.
Just dropping it to say hi and see what you were reading...you always read such interesting books.

ReplyDeleteE.H>
I've been wanting to read this series. Hope to see your thoughts on it. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the title and the cheekiness of the author naming her college F.U.!!! Have fun reading this one!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Wendi, and it sure does.
ReplyDeleteEH,
Yay, good to hear :D I am gonna start on it next week.
Donna,
You'll be seeing them soon enough since this one jumped before the rest in my pile
Staci,
I had forgotten about the F.U
Haha, she must be a hoot
Oswald kind of gives him a comical effect, maybe that's the idea? Either way -- sounds like one I'd like to read!
ReplyDeleteSassy Brit,
ReplyDeleteYes, comical, I can go with that. Now I am even more curious to read about Oswald, but I am saving the book for a long bustrip next week
Oooh, me want to read! Do you find people willing to send overseas at bookmooch?
ReplyDeleteI have an award for you
Ladybug,
ReplyDeleteFirst, it's really hard to find the books one want, they are never out there, second sometimes you get lucky but mostly they wont ship overseas :(
Real lucky you get when you find a book you want from an European :) It's totally worth it though, lurking on the books and hoping. It all depends on what you want, those I want never seem to be around
I love the title and cover. It sounds like a good book, too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
I wish there were a site for people willing to ship where ever. I think I once registered on bookmooch so perhaps I ought to drop in and take a look again.
ReplyDeleteHi Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteIt does sound fun, and I hope that is the case :)
Ladybug,
Do drop in, it's hard to find the books but you can get lucky :)
We really should have a bookmooch for Europe just like the US has paperbackswap, that would be cool
Hi B!
ReplyDeleteI missed this freaking post!!
I love Marta Acosta! Happy Hour at Casa Dracula is on my keeper shelf, I love the latin lady involved with a vampirely challenged man. Too Funny!!
Dottie :)
This sounds like a fun book. Hope you like it.
