Title: The Bride of Casa Dracula
Author: Marta Acosta
Published: 2008
The very cool Bride of Casa Dracula was a great departure from Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series and Stephanie Meyers' Twilight Saga. Complete with a little bit of romance, some blood (though in a very different way from the others mentioned above) and shapeshifters, the Bride was a fun and very cute read. Latina vampire Milagro de los Santos is preparing to wed her prince charming and vampire boyfriend, Oz. However, because of her special existence (the fact that she survived two vampire infections) and is one of the strongest vampires around, makes her the target of several attempts on her life and at the beckon call of the Council, or the vampire government. Acosta interweaves the Spanish slang into Milagro's dialogues and makes this heroine, a very sexy chica. While this book is the third of her Casa Dracula series, reading this book on its own was entertaining in and of itself. I will most definitely be on the lookout for the first two books to find out who Milagro came to be a vampire and her previous relationships with the vampires in the third book.
If you want a fun, "vampiric" read - then check out this one! It's really fun!
