"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 her 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.
