false <![CDATA[The Bride of Casa Dracula]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256096422m/2260675.jpg 2260675 1 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.<P>To top it all off, Milagro's career is on the skids. She's reduced to ghost-writing the memoirs of a loony little man who claims to be a shapeshifter. And why does Cornelia's decadent, way too attractive brother, Ian, always show up whenever Milagro is away from Oswald? When a series of accidents interferes with wedding plans, Oswald worries that Milagro is cracking under the pressure. Is she just paranoid, or is a hidden enemy trying to make sure Milagro doesn't wed the undead? 2266628 16 9 2008 The Bride of Casa Dracula total:101|5:32|4:25|3:32|2:10|1:2| 101 378 218 21 3 4 false false Tue Sep 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 13 15:07:49 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 23 17:25:49 -0700 2008 I wavered between 2.5 and 3 stars on this one.

Thank you for writing vampire novels that appeal to my trashy readerly desires and my bourgeois political sensibilities.
