Paperback. Condition: Good. Extraordinary and hilarious. Five Blue Ribbons -Romance Junkies Milagro is back and wittier than ever A phenomenal vampire series. -Romantic Times Danger, sizzling hot sex scenes, an imaginative and diabolical plot, witty repartee, vampires, zombies and a wonderfully poignant ending, which nearly brought me to tears. Extraordinary and hilarious. -Romance Junkies I have loved the Casa Dracula series from the moment I picked up the first book in the series and nothing has changed now that we're down to the last one. You just never want it to end. -Fresh Fiction Full of heat, humor, and a tiny bit of heartache. Damn near perfect. -Dirty Sexy Books Quirky, sexy, bright Milagro De Los Santos is forced to take another ghostwriting job for hoaxer Don Pedro when she can't pay her condo fees. Her romantic life isn't much better. She's conflicted about her torrid affair with dangerous Vampire Council director Ian Ducharme and still yearning for her ex-fiance, Dr. Oswald Grant and her life at his wine-country ranch. When Ian's flirtations with a pretty neighbor infuriate Milagro, she travels to London, and the blood really hits the fan. People around her are dying grisly deaths, and Milagro's framed for murder. She escapes to Oswald's ranch, but an accident gives her amnesia and she forgets her entire existence as the only human survivor of a vampire infection. Will Milagro make all the same mistakes, or will she discover the real killers and finally get to use the Margaritanator 3000 at her wedding reception? This is the grand finale for Milagro De Los Santos-and her send-off is absurdly wonderful and befitting the unique Casa Dracula series. -Chick Lit Plus The plot Acosta delivers is frustratingly great, and surprises you at every turn. The idea of second chances is nothing new but the way in which Acosta creates such an opportunity is crafty and oh so delicious. -The Spinecracker.…
