Like any good twin book, Ivy and Olivia routinely switch places. They never get caught and there are rarely negative consequences. Secrets are a main theme, and the big one (the existence of vampires) is one that must be kept—even from Olivia’s parents and best friends—for many reasons. But most of the more normal secrets are kept for a blessedly short period of time, and there are few, if any, negative consequences to telling the truth and coming clean with your family and friends. Recommendation Much better,” said Mom—but she was looking at Tim and Sarah suspiciously. “He’s coming home from the hospital next week. Now what’s all this about an accident? Aunt Clara, are you all right?” Okay. I'll start with the wedding. So the last thing I remember from this series was the upcoming wedding plans for Charles Vega and Lillian. I even stated in my review of the 12th book that I expected this book to be the plot that circles around the wedding. Unfortunately it isn't. The wedding was barely mentioned actually. There weren't details about the planning, decorations, cake, dress, drama, tears, etc. But it was nice to know some facts about it. I guess if Ms. Mercer did focus on the wedding as the plot for this book it wouldn't be as much as a My Sister The Vampire book. So it was okay that the wedding plot plan that I had in my head didn't happen. I understood.
Celkovo sa dej odohráva na Franklin Grove strednej škole niekde neurčite, kde časť študentov tvoria gotici, ale v reále infiltrovaní upíri, ktorí medzi nami žijú už hodne dlho v utajení. Je zaujímavé sledovať debatu dievčat, keď si vysvetľujú čo funguje, čo je mýtus a čo nie, aké to je a pod. Olivia and Ivy's twelfth fright-time adventure. Ivy and Olivia are together again - and not a moment too soon. The whole vampire community is in a flap. Can the twins discover the identity of the mystery blogger who's determined to expose Franklin Grove's biggest secret? The book is about two girls that were adopted when they were just a baby and one of them was a vampire. They both lived completely different lives but met again one day and discovered they were twins. The story takes place when one of the girls moves to a new school where they met. They discovered that they were twins because of similar rings they both had since as long as they could remember and they are tying to find where it came from. The only problem is that they can't find their parent's record, it's like they never existed.The story takes place at Franklin Grove Middle School Franklin Grove is not your normal middle school. Everything seems dark and dreary. But the kids don't seem to mind, since they are into all things dark. I’m fine, really,” said Aunt Clara. “And the children, who should’ve told you I wasn’t here, especially since they said they would, worry or no worry”—she glared at Tim and Sarah—“were looked after by those nice neighbors of yours, the Gibsons...” (p. 184-185) The story is told in third person. The plot is about Olivia filming who in London with her ex boyfriend and Ivy becomes popular at high school. The intended audience is for young-teen and the genre is fiction because vampires aren’t real. The author kept me interested because it is easy to read and there aren’t that many hard words. The author’s style is contemporary so that young teen can relate to the characters in the story. A funny, super-girly story with a vampire bite to it. Sink your teeth into Ivy and Olivia's fourteenth fright-time adventure! The twins are adjusting to high school, but everything is still topsy turvy. Ivy’s flipping out about being the most popular girl in school. All she wants is some time to herself! But her band of superfans are clinging to her tighter than bats to a cave. Meanwhile, Olivia is on a matchmaking mission. But will Queen Goth Amelia and Skater Boy Finn be able to put aside their differences and realise they are head over heels for each other? Despite that Olivia is a cheerleader in love with pink, and Ivy is a pale goth fanatic, they both become best friends.
It's really really good. I love Ivy's character the most, maybe its because I see myself through her. I'm not goth though but I definitely feel like Ivy and I are twins - not twins more like clones. And every time she ( Sienna Mercer) describes Brendan Daniels, Ivy's love interest, I see Evan Peters in my head. I dont know why but I love it. Olivia reminds me of my older sister who actually tried out for cheerleading once and she loves fashion and she's girly. The series follows a pair of long-lost twin sisters named Olivia Abbott and Ivy Vega (they were separated as babies and adopted into different families when they were a year old). After Olivia and her adoptive parents move to the town of Franklin Grove due to a job transfer, Olivia eventually discovers that, in addition to her and Ivy being long-lost twin sisters, Ivy's also a hiding a very grave secret. If you’re looking for a way to introduce your tween to classic vampires, this isn’t it. These vampires have no fangs (literally—they file them off). But the books are fun and cute without being insipid—good escapism for the 8 to 11 year old set. They might also be good for reluctant readers because they’re short but fun to read, and they don’t feel too much like little kid books. The twins discover that they're also vampire royalty (their biological father is the son of a count).

How to read the My Sister the Vampire Books in Order?
Switched is the first novel in Mercer's My Sister the Vampire series which has since been followed up by five additional installments, with two more being published in 2011. It is a very interesting and original story, with likeable characters and a believable setting. Ivy and Olivia have a pretty fantastical story, but they deal with issues that are common in middle school: crushes, bullies, peer pressure, and self-confidence. The vampire aspect of the story only adds to the fun. Although this installment of the series does not go into too much detail about exactly how Ivy and Olivia were separated at birth and why Ivy is a vampire but Olivia isn't, Mercer manages to make the reader care enough about her characters to want to find out how they came to be in their situation. A very good start to a popular series for tweens. Also, I'm really happy that Ivy didn't get easily swept into the popular clique and followed Charlotte like some airhead. Instead she stood up for herself and her sister. I think that was a great positive scene for younger girls. Ivy's character is definitely a model for younger girls as she works hard towards her dream of making the cheerleading squad even though there's a negative force trying to bring her down. Definitions of family are pretty open in this book. As the whole confusing situation comes to light, differences are embraced and celebrated. Perhaps it’s a little too neat and tidy, but I still like the example that’s set—the people who love the people you love are pretty much family. Scariness Fashion Frightmare!– The Café Creative fashion show is just around the corner, and everyone who’s anyone is ready to strike a pose. Everyone except Ivy, that is. Modeling is her worst nightmare! Twin sister Olivia is there to lend a hand. But soon strutting down the catwalk is the least of their worries, when a priceless accessory goes missing. Is there a couture crook in Franklin Grove?
