Acosta brings Milagro de Los Santos's roller-coaster of romantic misadventures to a close in this chipper final installment of the Casa Dracula series (after 2008's The Bride of Casa Dracula). Milagro, a human with vampiric abilities, mistrusts her feelings for Ian, her vampire "boyfriend-lover-whatever." To distract herself, Milagro has a lighthearted affair with sexy Wil, a surfer and vampire activist. Set up to take the fall when Wil is murdered, Milagro begs protection from her ex-fiancΓ©, Oswald, further complicating her tangled love life. Too silly to be taken seriously but too serious to be comic, this series conclusion never quite gels as its own novel, and much of what Acosta attempts has been done before (and often better) by other paranormal romance authors, but Milagro's fans will be glad to see how her story is resolved.

The conclusion to Acostaβs Casa Dracula series finds Milagro de Los Santos still smarting over the end of her engagement to handsome vampire Oswald. Milagro has gotten back together with Ian Ducharme, a devilishly enticing vampire, but sheβs worried the two donβt see eye-to-eye on the issue of fidelity. Milagroβs encounters with her two vampire lovers have left her changed: sheβs not a vampire, but her otherworldly strength and craving for blood make her something more than human. After discovering Ian cavorting with a human couple she distrusts, Milagro flees to England seeking Wilcox Spiggott, a vampire who longs to make the existence of his race public. Milagro hooks up with the seductive Wilcox, but when he visits her in L.A. and winds up dead in her bedroom, Milagro fears she has been framed for murder. As she struggles to find out who set her up, she realizes she has to make a choice between Ian and Oswald once and for all. A satisfying wrap-up to a snappy supernatural series. --Kristine Huntley
