The Bride of Casa Dracula by Marta Acosta

The Bride of Casa Dracula by Marta Acosta, 286 pages

"Does she have prewedding jitters, or is someone out for her blood?

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." (Summary from Goodreads)

This installment of the series was highly entertaining, but is probably my least favorite so far. I abhor love triangles with every atom of my being, and Bride of Casa Dracula leaned heavily into that story line. The ending felt very abrupt, like the floor falling away so you tumble into empty space. I look forward to reading the last book of the series to see if the story is concluded satisfactorily.
