      Olivia, a human, and Ivy, a vampire, are twins. However, they were adopted by different families. Both want to know about their birth parents but it seems as though very little information is known about them. Now Serena Star, star of The Morning Star news program, starts snooping around believing there is something sinister happening in Franklin Grove and she is out to expose it. Will she? Will others learn that Olivia and Ivy are twins? Will their parents learn of it?I enjoyed this quick read. I like the differences between Olivia and Ivy but I like that they know of each other. I appreciate that they help one another also. Their personalities are different but compliment each other. I wish Ivy's father did not dismiss her wanting to find her birth parents. She took the initiative to find them but there's a mystery there. I look forward to reading more of this series to get my questions answered.

      it was so cool like how did they change brendon and sophia quickly change how they look and a vampire theme so cool bloodsuckers finally camel nose there twins
    • 5/5
      This was a fangtastic book! Of course not much changed except for the fact that a (anoying) news reporter tried to prove that vampires exist! Yes, this reporter's name was Serena Star and her "motto" was, "The star of truth must shine!" (lame) Anyway, throughout this book Serena keeps snooping around and seeing evidence. As good as this news is no one can find out! It's the First Law of Night (no vampires are allowed to tell humans that they really truely exist). Even though Ms.Star knows real facts, Ivy and (her twin) Olivia have to trow her off track. If they do this then, hopefully, she won't spill a word. Oh, no no no. THey must not know who she is, because Serena will fight to the end, just to get the truth out there! This is going to be a lot of work for a couple of teens. Luckly, they have their friends on their side (since some are vampires). Coming up with plans is not so easy with a news reporter sneaking around every corner.Yes, in the end Serena Star turns out looking crazy infront of the (LiVE!) camera, trying to get Ivy to cough up the truth. Serena Star, being a desparate lunatic, gives Ivy a glass of holy water and holding out the bible(thinking that she'll burn into a million pieces), like that's going to happen (only happens in movies and it's a myth). Luckly before Serena used even more anti-vampire stuff, Olivia and Ivy (being identica twins) switch places (while Serena is distracted) and fool Ms.Star once and for all (Olivia had to even eat garlic, disguised as Ivy, to prove to Serena that vampires don't exist, and that it's all in her head). Like a four-leaf clover, the sisters ha good luck, because the secret was never told on the news after all.I thought this is book was literally packed with surprises and cameras in the pages (Serena Star is a lady who believes that the truth must be heard, and won't let anything get in her way if it doesn't). Keeping secrets isn't isn't a really hard thing to do. It's having to trick people to think that there is no secret. 'Hide', that would be a nice word to describe what Olivia and Ivy have to do (DON'T TELL ANY ONE THAT VAMPiRES EXIST!). But, that sneaky sneaky, news lady just doesn't give up without a fight. It's actually funny at some things the charactes in this book have to do to trick Serena Star. Especially, when it's all fake and she falls for it. What a book!

      When Olivia Abbot moves she finds a twin she never knew about, Ivy. The two of them are like chalk and cheese and as they get to know each other they discover just how different they are.It's readable but not really memorable and I'm not rushing out to get the next in the series.

      My sister the vampire is about this girl named Olivia, and she moves and goes to a new school. Then Olivia runs into Ivy. Ivy is a goth and a iwerd girl that Olivia thought was not going to be her friend. After they were parerned up together, they soon find out they have the sme neckles they both say is the only thing they have from the parent before the vaished. Then they relized under the black and pink makeup they were wearing they were identical twins. They were so surprised and were ready to take on anything. Then they disited they were going to switch and be the other twin. They started to do this thing everyday and soon they were mixed up. A afternoon when the girls were hanging out Olivia found out something very wierd. Ivy is a vampire, and so were all her friend. Now Olivia felt very uncomfortible with switching and hanging out with vampire. Olivia relized that vampires were people to and that was what her sister was, and she learnd to except her and her friends. I liked this book because of the surprizes it throws in. Also the detale was great, I felt very into it. I just think it should have a little more of Ivys point of view. This book sucked (sucked mean good in this book).
    • 4/5
      My Sister The Vampire written by Sienna Mercer is a captivating book if you really enjoy reading about vampires or if you don’t. My Sister The Vampire (switched) is the first book out of four of the serious. The book, Switched, is about a girl named Olivia who moves to another school called Franklin Grove. One day Olivia accidently bumps into her long lost twin sister, Ivy. Olivia and Ivy become best friends at first but after a while they realize they look the exact same. Having a twin sister made everything so much easier because Ivy had a chance to go out with boy of her dreams but also had to attend a meeting. Olivia would dress up as Ivy and go to the meeting so Ivy could go on the date with the boy of her dreams. After getting to know each other, Olivia discovered the truth about her long lost twin sister Ivy being a vampire. The style of the writing is easy to understand and it flows well which makes it easy to read. My Sister The Vampire has a lot of different settings throughout the book although it can be confusing because it could be Olivia’s turn at telling the story and then it jumps to Ivy’s and she is set in a total different setting. I enjoyed Switched a lot that I am reading the second one of the serious called Fangtastic and I can’t wait to finish this one so I can read the third book. Although the book is about vampires it isn’t scary. I recommend it children and teenagers.

      This book was Amazing. Olivia moves away to a new school, Franklin Grave. Everything is different. Ivy becomes Olivia's friend at first, but then they notice that they are actually twin sisters! Since then everything was very confused, but being twin sister makes everything soooooo much easier! For example, Ivy's dream boy who she had also loved talked to her and asked them out. Later that day Sophia (Ivy's best friend) reminds Ivy she promised to go to the planning comitee for the All Hallow Ball. Ivy is horrified! what is she going to do! luckily her twin sister Olivia is to the rescue! Read this book and find out all about the Olivia's twin sister the VAMPIRE!

    My Sister the Vampire #2 - Sienna Mercer

    CHAPTER 1

    Ivy Vega trudged sleepily into the breakfast room, slid into her chair, and rested her cheek on the cool stone table. She wished she was still in her coffin. Monday mornings were the worst.

    Good morning, sleepybones, her father said, placing a bowl next to her head.

    Shh, Ivy murmured, her eyes closed. I’m still sleeping.

    It’s your favorite, her dad coaxed. Marshmallow Platelets.

    Ivy peered at the little white marshmallows and maroon bits bobbing in their milky sea. Thanks, she mumbled.

    Her father, already dressed for work in black chinos and a black pin-striped shirt with French cuffs, sipped his tea and picked up the remote control. There is nothing better for a young person’s dull morning mind, he said, than dull morning television.

    He flipped through the weather and some talk shows before settling on The Morning Star.

    Please no, Ivy said. Just looking at Serena Star’s smile gives me sunburn.

    Serena Star, WowTV’s best celebrity reporter, had impossibly bright, bleached blond hair and eyes that looked as if they’d been surgically enhanced to be permanently wide open in either adoration or shock. Lately she’d been trying to cast herself as a serious journalist on her own morning news show, The Morning Star. Just the other day, Ivy had turned the TV off in exasperation after Serena had said, Tell me, Mr. Senator, how does it feel to have a law named after you?

    This morning, Serena Star was standing with her back to a small crowd of people, talking into her microphone. She was wearing a tiny blue suede miniskirt under a knee-length trench coat, and the look in her wide eyes said shock! She was in a park or maybe a graveyard. A scruffy, black-clad teenager stood beside her—

    Ivy’s dad flipped the channel.

    Turn back! Ivy blurted.

    But you said—

    I know. Turn back! she repeated.

    Ivy could not believe her eyes. The boy standing next to Serena Star was none other than Garrick Stephens, one of the lamest vampires at her school. He and his bonehead friends—everyone called them the Beasts—were always pulling dumb stunts, like seeing which one of them could eat the most garlic croutons without getting seriously ill. They weren’t nearly as scary as they smelled, but they’d been annoying since forever.

    What is he doing on national TV? Ivy wondered.

    I think that’s the local cemetery, her dad said.

    Ivy realized he was right—this was being filmed less than five blocks from their house.

    The camera panned over to an empty grave, and Ivy’s dad turned up the volume.

    …yesterday’s small-town funeral went horribly wrong, Serena Star was saying off screen. Local deceased man, Mr. Alan Koontz, was scheduled for burial here at the Franklin Grove Memorial Cemetery. As Mr. Koontz was being lowered into the ground, eyewitnesses say that his casket creaked open. The camera zoomed in on a shiny midnight-blue coffin lying open next to the grave. "In a bizarre turn of events, out climbed an allegedly live person! Serena continued. Mr. Koontz’s widow immediately fainted and was rushed to Franklin Grove General Hospital for treatment."

    Serena Star’s frowning face reappeared on the screen. Friends of the family say that the person who emerged bore no resemblance to Mr. Koontz and was, in fact, a teenage boy. The camera pulled back to reveal Garrick, who was licking his palm and then using it to slick back his hair.

    Ivy was frowning now, too; Garrick and his friends didn’t know the meaning of the word discreet. They probably couldn’t even spell it. Ever since they were little kids, Ivy had always been amazed at how close the Beasts routinely came to breaking the First Law of the Night: vampires are never supposed to reveal their true selves to an outsider.

    Thinking about that made Ivy feel uncomfortable. After all, she’d recently broken the First Law herself. She’d had no choice, though: she couldn’t possibly keep the fact that she was a vampire secret from her identical twin, Olivia, even if Olivia was human.

    She and Olivia had only discovered each other at the beginning of the school year. They’d been separated at birth and adopted by different parents, so Ivy hadn’t known that she had a twin until Olivia turned up at Franklin Grove Middle School. And it had been just as great a shock to Olivia.

    I may have broken the First Law, but at least I didn’t reveal myself to the whole world on national TV! Ivy thought.

    Serena Star looked squarely at the camera. I, Serena Star, now bring you an exclusive interview with the thirteen-year-old boy who was almost buried alive. I think you’ll agree it’s a story that’s truly…INDEADIBLE! A graphic with the word INDEADIBLE! materialized on the screen over Garrick’s head, and Ivy rolled her eyes. Serena was always making up lame words for her on-screen headlines.

    Awesome! Garrick Stephens grinned.

    Ivy’s head ached. How in the underworld, she thought, are we going to cover up a vampire popping out of a coffin in the middle of a funeral?

    Mr. Stephens. Serena Star turned to face her subject. How do you feel?

    I feel great! Garrick said.

    Amazing! Serena commented, with a slight frown. She had clearly been expecting Garrick to be upset. How long were you in that coffin?

    Like seven, eight hours.

    That must have been very unsettling, Serena Star prompted sympathetically.

    Only when those pallbearer guys carried it around and woke me up, Garrick said, shooting a peeved look off camera.

    Are you saying you were asleep in there? asked Serena Star, her wide eyes widening even further.

    Yeah, Garrick answered. I slept like I was dead.

    Ivy winced as Serena Star shook her head in disbelief. You almost sound like you enjoyed yourself.

    Garrick shrugged.

    Mr. Stephens, Serena Star said, a hint of disapproval in her voice, what kind of person sleeps in a coffin?

    It wasn’t my idea. Garrick shrugged.

    Oh? said Serena Star. Whose idea was it?

    Garrick was about to answer, but then he seemed to think better of it. He crossed his arms. I don’t want to get them into trouble.

    "Are you saying the people who did this to you are friends of yours?" Serena Star asked.

    Totally, Garrick replied, grinning.

    You mean—

    We’re the kings of Franklin Grove Middle School! Garrick cried, mugging wildly. Yo, Kyle, Ricky, Dylan! I’m on TV!

    What an utter dork! thought Ivy.

    What exactly did your friends have in mind? Serena Star probed.

    They dared me to climb in, Garrick explained, his eyes glinting mischievously. That’s why I did it.

    Ivy could tell Garrick was lying from the smug look on his face. He was just pretending it was a dare to avoid revealing any vampire secrets—like the fact that they slept in coffins. Still, it was a pretty lame alibi, especially because he kept going on about how it was the best sleep of his life.

    The Interna 3 is the sweetest coffin ever, he gushed, grabbing the microphone. When they say ‘rest in peace,’ they mean it!

    Mr. Stephens, please, Serena interrupted. That still doesn’t explain how you ended up at Mr. Koontz’s funeral.

    Oh, right. My friends just sort of thought it would be funny to leave me in there—thanks a lot guys! Garrick winked. Then the funeral home got the coffins mixed up. Did you know the Interna 3 is the best-selling coffin in America?

    Serena Star yanked the microphone away. Are we to believe that this was really just an innocent student prank? she said to Garrick, who shrugged again.

    Or, she continued, turning slowly to the camera, "is there something more sinister at work?"

    Uh-oh. Ivy thought. Serena Star smells blood.

    Clearly, a gruesome obsession with death, Serena went on as the camera zoomed in for a close-up of her shocked face, nearly cost this misguided young misfit his life!

    Who are you calling misguided? Garrick’s voice whined offscreen.

    And he isn’t alone, Serena said, ignoring Garrick. One look around this sleepy town reveals a dark obsession consuming the minds of its children. The live feed cut briefly to footage of the mall, showing a group of Goth sixth-graders.

    Are the youth of America next? Serena asked ominously, as she reappeared on-screen. Then she frowned with determination. I, Serena Star, will not rest until I find out the evil truth behind what’s happening here.

    Oh no, Ivy thought. She’s going to say that line of hers.

    Because the Star of truth must shine! Serena Star declared dramatically, pumping her microphone in the air. It really was the worst journalistic sign-off Ivy had ever heard. This is Serena Star. Wake up, America!

    A commercial came on, and Ivy’s dad shut off the TV. You must promise me, he said, that if you are ever on television, you will make a better impression than that boy Garrick Stephens.

    It’s not funny, Dad, Ivy said. If Serena Star starts seriously investigating Goths in Franklin Grove, you know what she might find. What if she scoops the existence of vampires? None of us will ever be safe again!

    Her father put down his tea. Ivy, he said, we are talking about a woman best known for her special exposé on the footwear of the rich and famous! I very much doubt she’s capable of finding any real proof. Besides, the moment there’s a new bit of Hollywood gossip, Serena Star will forget all about Franklin Grove.

    Ivy sighed. I hope you’re right, she said, standing up to take her empty bowl into the kitchen, because if not, it’s going to be really hard to get Marshmallow Platelets around here.
