Product Description
For everyone who's ever felt like a square peg in a round world...with vampires and cocktails.
Funny, sexy, cheerful Milagro de Los Santos has a degree from a Fancy University (F.U.) but can't seem to hold down a good job, sell her eccentric horror stories, or have the sort of relationship suitable for the sincere and serious young woman she's trying to be. Then at a book party for her pretentious ex-boyfriend, she meets Oswald, a fabulous man who tells her he's interested in her writing. A mad kissing session leads to a fall, cut lips, and an accidental exchange of blood.
For the first time in Milagro's life, she becomes sick...really, weirdly sick and has cravings for raw meat and an aversion to sunlight. The ex-boyfriend kidnaps her, accusing her of being a vampire, and the fabulous stranger's family comes to her rescue and takes her to recover at their wine-country estate.
Oswald's family thinks she's a trashy golddigger. She thinks they're awfully snobby for people who claim not to be vampires, but merely to have a genetic "condition." Oh, and fabulous Oswald is already engaged to an equally fabulous woman, Milagro's ex-boyfriend is still hunting her down, a decadent aristovamp visitor has taken a special interest in Mil, and she's lost her apartment.
Can she be sincere and serious long enough to defeat her powerful enemies, save her new friends, and get back in time for cocktails at Casa Dracula, the place she's come to think of as her home?

Dawn (USA: NY) (2008/12/28):
I had high hopes for this book as other people have told me it was great but I found it tedious and boring. The characters feel like they are one dimensional at times and I definitly will not try to read the others in the series.
