Happy Hour at Casa Dracula by Marta Acosta

Happy Hour at Casa Dracula by Marta Acosta, 314 pages

Milagro de Los Santos is unmoored, desperately searching for her place in a dog-eat-dog world.  Everything she knows about the world is flipped upside down when, after a passionate encounter with a mysterious man, she becomes seriously ill and is whisked off to a secret ranch.  Milagro soon finds herself caught between her mysterious (and very engaged) amor and her former ex-boyfriend, who may or may not want to cut off her head.

This novel was a fun, rom-com take on the vampire trope. In the tradition of rom-coms, many of the misunderstandings keeping the love triangle(s) going were a little exasperating, but nothing out of the usual. I enjoyed Mil's attitude and wit, but hands down, Edna is the shining jewel in Casa Dracula's crown.
