Re-Vamped! (My Sister the Vampire)

Arrived in a timely fashion and in great shape. Brand new book! My dtr loves this series!

This series deals with twin sisters separated shortly after their first birthday when their mortal mom died in a car accident. In the third installment of the series the newspapers are coming out with article about local twins rediscover one another. Left with no other choice their force to tell their adopted parents. Olivia parents think it wonderful for her though they don't understand the concept of the Goth look. Ivy's father however doesn't take it as well and decides to take the European job that he had previous rejected that could separate the twins again. This story continue the girls investigation in the truth which makes me think that Ivy never been adopted at all and that her dad is really Olivia's too (though that fact isn't revealed one way or another in this book just personal opinion.) Olivia is put through a vampire loyalty test what would result in having her memory of her sister erased if she fails and learns what happens when a mortal drinks a vampire heath drink by mistake.

I finally found a book my daughter will read, she loves these books and always comes to tell me some exciting part. It is a shame that they have not released anymore copies of #4, because the only option I have is to buy one for $180.00, what's up with that. The retail price is $5.99, talk about price gouging, guess my daughter will have to wait. SHAME on you people!

I bought this series for my 10 year old daughter and she loves the series. She has read all four book at least 4 times this summer. It does have a different take on vampires, but since the author is targeting pre-teens I think it is appropriate to make the vampires less violent and evil than you read in some vampire novels. My daughter is looking forward to more books being released by Siena Mercer.

Reviewed by Simon Smith (age 9) for Reader Views (4/08) "My Sister the Vampire #3: Re-Vamped!" is the third book in a series that tells about the lives of twin sisters. Their names are Olivia and Ivy. Olivia, who loves garlic and bright colors, is the opposite of Ivy, who is more of a goth and likes black and hates garlic. And did I mention that Ivy is a vampire? Even though Ivy is a vampire, Olivia is not much bothered by it. At the end of the first book, they swore to stay together, vampire or not. Because Ivy and Olivia were adopted at birth, the parents who are raising them did not realize that they were twins. The book starts with Olivia explaining to her parents that she has a twin sister. Then Ivy did the same thing with her dad. Then Ivy's dad started to think that a vampire and a human being related was odd because human and vampire cross-breeds sometimes came out very odd. One of the cross-breeds had four heads--and that wasn't the weirdest one! The main plot of the book is Olivia and Ivy trying to get into a special information vault that they think will tell them where their real parents came from. But when they were in the information vault, the security cameras caught them. Then, the vampires knew that Olivia knew that vampires existed which no human is supposed to know. To make sure that she was worthy of knowing about the secret of vampires, they tested her. Olivia had to pass three tests and I don't want to give away the whole book; but the first test was having to sleep in a coffin from dawn until dusk. I think that Sienna Mercer is a great author and should keep on writing these "My Sister the Vampire" books because out of all the books that I have read (and I have read a lot of books), "My Sister the Vampire #3: Re-Vamped!" is one of the best. She has made a great book with consistent action, adventure, and mystery. I think that this book is okay for both genders and, as an age rating, I would say eight and up. I hope Sienna Mercer will write a lot more books because I enjoy them a lot.
