In her second in a series featuring Milagro de Los Santos, an intrepid Latina heroine involved with a family of vampires, Acosta shines. Milagro believes she's just a regular chica, albeit one with a talent for attracting men. She's a writer and a gardener, and the Grant family seems to have accepted her into their midst. She lives in a cottage on their ranch in northern California with Oswald, a plastic surgeon who, like the rest of his family, has an aversion to sunlight and a preference for meat served very rare. Milagro senses that there are family secrets she is not privy to, and follows various leads to San Francisco and, when her life is threatened, to a desert spa. Along the way, she uncovers a secret vampire plot to take over the world in which she seems to play a vital role. This sexy, sardonic siren is unlike the usual romantic-suspense heroine, and unique and alluring Milagro will continue to amaze readers in Acosta's terrific new adventure.
