After sixteen-year-old Destiny and her twin sister Livvy are turned into partial vampires at a summer camp, they try to find the "Restorer," someone who can return them to normal.
Summer can't be over already. Do I really have
to leave Camp Blue Moon?
That's what Destiny Weller was thinking on the day she started to become a vampire.
She watched the yellow bus rumble away, carrying the last of the campers with it. The bus bounced over the narrow dirt road, then turned and disappeared into the trees.
"Hey, we're free!" someone yelled. "The little animals are gone!"
"Party time!"
"Who has car keys? Can we get a keg? Can we at least get some six-packs?"
A red afternoon sun was sinking behind the trees. The air suddenly carried a chill, a hint that summer was nearly over.
Destiny turned and searched for her sister, Livvy. The counselors gathered around the grassy hill that overlooked the road, laughing and joking, hugging each other, celebrating the end of the camp season.
She spotted Livvy in a circle of girls clustered around Renz. He was flirting with them, hugging them one by one. All the girls adored Renz, and why not?
He was so good-looking, tall and tanned, with that wavy, black hair, those dark, bedroom eyes - devilish eyes - that irresistible smile. So charming and funny and ... grown-up.
Not like the other guys in camp, Destinythought. Not like the counselors and junior counselors whose idea of a good time was going skinny-dipping in the lake after lights-out, or putting snakes in each other's beds.
Renz was too sophisticated for that.
Destiny didn't really know much about him. She knew that his real name was Lorenzo Angelini, and he had just a hint of an Italian accent, which made him even sexier. He had been hired as head waterfront counselor. But when Uncle Bob, the owner of Camp Blue Moon, suddenly took sick just before the kids arrived, Renz became head counselor.
"I see who you're staring at." Nakeisha Johnson came up behind Destiny and grabbed her shoulders, startling her.
Destiny laughed. "He's looking good in those tennis whites, isn't he!"
"Summer's too short," Nakeisha said. "Think I could follow him home? Maybe he'll adopt me."
"Actually, I'm watching my sister," Destiny said. "Do you believe those short shorts? You can see half her butt."
Nakeisha gazed at the crowd of girls around Renz. "Well don't turn green or anything. You know you're jealous. Renz spent so much time with Livvy."
"All the guys spent time with Livvy," Destiny replied. She watched Renz give Livvy a farewell hug, holding her close, his hands all over her bare back.
"Stop shaking your head," Nakeisha said. "How can identical twins be so different?"
"I told you. We're fraternal. Not identical," Destiny said.
"Oh. Right. Well, that explains it," Nakeisha replied, rolling her eyes.
"I'm fifteen minutes older," Destiny said. "See. I've got to act like the older sister."
A yellow jacket buzzed around them. Destiny swatted it away. High in the darkening sky, a flock of honking geese flew in perfect V-formation, making its way from Canada. On the road below, the camp station wagon sped past, tires spinning up dust, jammed with counselors heading to town to buy beer.
"Everyone's acting happy, but this is so sad," Nakeisha said. "Tomorrow we'll all go our separate ways. I won't see you anymore." She turned and wrapped Destiny in a hug.
Destiny hugged her back. "You've been such a good friend. I really am going to miss you."
Both girls had tears in their eyes.
"At least you're going home to New York," Destiny said, letting go. She ran a hand through her short, straight blond hair. "Not boring little Dark Springs, Mass."
Nakeisha wiped tear stains off her cheeks. "I just got something in my eye, that's all. It's not like I hate saying good-bye or anything. You've got my e-mail address, right? And my cell number?"
Destiny nodded. "We can Instant Message each other."
"Maybe you can come to New York for Thanksgiving?"
Destiny laughed. "Yeah, if I win the lottery or something."
"Hey, know what? I'll be doing college visits in September and October. I know I'll be in Boston. Maybe I can come through Dark Springs."
"Excellent!" Destiny said. Over Nakeisha's shoulder, she saw Livvy, cigarette in hand, lip-locked with Cory Field, one of her many admirers. His arm around her shoulders, Cory began to lead Livvy toward the trees by the lake.
"Livvy—wait!" Destiny shouted. She took off running. "Hey, Liv - stop!"
Her sister turned and took a long drag on the cigarette. Cory kept his arm around her. "Hi, Dee. What's up?" Livvy asked.
"How's it going?" Cory said. "Pretty quiet without the kids, huh?"
Destiny nodded. "Liv, you haven't started packing," she said.
"Yeah, I know."
Destiny stared at her sister. Livvy did everything she could to look different from her twin. Destiny wore her hair short, so Livvy kept hers long, letting it flow down over her shoulders. Destiny hardly ever wore makeup, just a little blush and lip gloss from time to time. Livvy liked purple or dark red lipstick, and her biggest suitcase this summer had been filled with eye makeup.
Livvy had one nostril pierced, usually wore three different earrings in each ear, and loved to wear rings on every finger. She wanted to get a butterfly tattoo on her shoulder, but held off, knowing her dad would give her all kinds of grief.
Destiny would never admit it to anyone, but she secretly admired her sister for having so much style.
Livvy was always trying to give her a make-over. One night last year when they were juniors, she allowed Livvy to work on her - lipstick, mascara, even streaks in her hair. When she had finished, Livvy started to smile ...

Okay, I have to admit, I really don't like many R.L Stine books that much, but this book caught my eye. I have a little obsession with the demonic vampire type thing, so I decided to buy this book. I finished it within the second night of reading it, I just couldn't put it down! Livvy and Destiny are awesome characters for this book, and you can relate to some of the things they are going through. I love how the plot twists, how I don't know what's going to happen next. I recommend this to anybody who has thought of what vampires are like, or anybody who even likes them. It's an awesome vampire book, and I'd highly suggest that you read it; It'll be well worth it. It has plenty of twists and turns. In some places you can't even tell what will happen next. I loved the suspense and surprises and it really kept me on edge.

Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.Are you a fan of R.L. Stine and/or vampires? Then this is the book for you.
A summer in camp will chage their lives forever.
Sixteen-year-old Destiny Weller and her twin sister, Livvy, are both beautiful and smart but are very different. Everyone at camp loves Renz, including the twins but they don't know that he's not really human.
We they return home from camp they start to notice changes. They crave for blood, the sun disturbs their eyes, and they see and hear things differently. What have they become?
Will the girls stick together and try to find the "Restorer" who would be able to turn them back to human? Will it be difficult to search for this "Restorer"? What happened to them? Will they both survive? These questions would be answered when you read this book.

I was very disappointed with this book. I had read some of R.L Stine's other novellas and this one did not compare. Also, he is no Stephan King, but he has done better work in the past. I find this very unappealing. Don't get me wrong, it was an alright book.... just not something that I would truly recommend to a friend or someone that was actually interested in a great book. A true disappointment is not a good thing. The characters in the book were not well deciphered. I got confused between the twins a lot. I had to re-read some pages 4-5 times just to figure out what was going on. Sorry, R.L Stine... Nothing compared to your others.

Stine I felt like he invented more into this book them many of his other books. I didn¿t even know that this book was by R.L. Stine till after I read it. I think that this book kind of makes you think about what you would do. This book was not scary at all it was just kind of sad. The ending really surprised me which is hard to do. So yeah I recommend this book for people who like vampire books.

Dangerous Girls looked like an extremely good book sitting on the shelf in the library. However, when I started to read it, I began to find myself bored out of my mind. Yes, at sometimes it would start to get good, but then in a few sentences it would become 5th grade material again. With this being by R.L. Stine, I found this book not like him at all. He has written much better.

'Dangerous Girls' is a wonderful book. The author makes you believe that all that happens in the story could be real. The story revolves around Livvy and Destiny, two twins. They come home from a summer camp, only to realize they are neophites, half vampires. Determined to become human agian, Destiny tries to get information from Ari, a close friend that's into the supernatural.Livvy isn't too much of a help for finding a cure though. The author, R.L. Stine, really describes his characters, Livvy and Destiny well. He gives you the image of the twins in your mind as though you've known them for a long time. He describes their personalitys and physical appearance in great detail. For example, he tells of how Livvy has flirted relentlessly with every guy at the summer camp. R.L. Stine makes you feel as though Dark Springs, the place Livvy and Destiny grew up in 'Dangerous Girls', is somewhere you and your family have visited every summer. You end up feeling as though if you were placed in Dark Springs, you could find the dance club, Livvy's house, the school, or the coach's house. This monster horror story gives you insight into the world of frightening vampires, unknowing humans, and vampire hunters. If you want a book that is entertaining, makes you see that movie of it in your head, and makes you want to know more, then here you are. Read 'Dangerous Girls' by R.L. Stine to find out more and be entertained. I loved this book and I'm sure you will too.
