After a lifetime of never quite fitting
in, Milagro de los Santos just might have found not only a
place but also maybe even a family that she fits in with.
Milagro has overcome her “infection” and is living with the
love of her life, Oswald Grant. The family is still amazed
that Milagro not only did not die from the infection but has
overcome it and no longer needs blood. However, not
everything is roses, as the family is getting together for
some type of special ceremony and Milagro is not invited to
join them, she can’t even talk Oswald into letting her
observe it.
Scary strangers have arrived and of
course conflict has surrounded Milagro. This time it’s not
Oswald to the rescue but his sexy cousin, Ian. After that
night, Milagro and Oswald have to separate for a bit, her to
attend a friend’s wedding and Oswald on a mission of mercy.
When danger not only follows Milagro to the city, but
someone actually tries to kill her, Milagro runs to the
desert only to find even more bizarre situations. Milagro,
being Milagro, needs to work her way through, a producer, a
sketchy writer, a flighty heiress and others - all of which
are with her at a spa that is trying to hold its secrets
from Milagro. Yeah right.
Midnight Brunch is a
continuation of the zany life and love of Milagro. This
time the danger to her is from a totally different angle and
she does not have her hunk, Oswald to help her feel her
way. I still love that Milagro is her funny, zany and
intelligent self. Of course I am charmed by Milagro’s
walking to the drummer of a totally different rhythm. I
will say that there were a couple of places where I wondered
at Oswald’s reactions, but in the end he came through for
Milagro and this time he ended the story with the best
scene. Midnight Brunch will have you laughing
and shaking your head all at the same time in several
places. I look forward to seeing just what escapades
Milagro and crew will get up to next. |
