Review: Happy Hour at Casa Dracula

Mar 18, 2009 14:36

Happy Hour at Casa Dracula, by Marta Acosta, is a fun vampire/romance/comedy. Actually, I kind of hate to call it a romance because there is nothing of the explicit sex in this one (though some characters do, thankfully, get it on).

There are 3 books in the series so far - I've only read the first two but they are just so FUN. I hope you enjoy it!

I go back and forth on the cover. I'm all, "Marianne, are you the one to say what a Latina looks like?" and, no, I"m not but I also know how publishing works and my instincts say problematic.

The second one doesn't have a person on the cover so that one is easy to love. *grin*
