Summary: A book about love and horror
Review: The book starts off with Destiny and Livvy at camp. They're counselors and the kids have just left. All the counselors are left to clean up when Renz, the very handsome young man with an Italian accent that all the girls like and is secretly a vampire, askes Destiny to meet with him alone. Destiny meets with him and is bitten by Renz under the full moon, but Renz isnt able to finish turning her into a vampire and Destiny is left only a half-vampire. Renz believes that Destiny is the reincarnation of his lost love Laura. Destiny forgets everything that happened with Renz and once she's home start to realizes she's not human anymore. Renz follows her home secretly and waits for another full moon and another opportunity to finish her. Destiny must find the one who can help her and turn herself back into a human before her time is up and she goes insane for blood.

Summary: Even For A Teen Vampire Novel This Is Pathetic
Review: The cover and selection on the back made this book look extreamely promising. The book first begins to strain at the very begining at the summer camp. All the girls were drooling over Renz who is modeled after the millions of carbon copy vampires. Livvy and Destiny are also the carbon copy vampire prey. Livvy's advanced symptoms and odd behavior are more than enough to stir the reader's sixth sense of what will happen but the constant reminder of how different they are will no doubt give it away to many readers.

The actual change to being a vampire was poorly written even though it was the main focus of the book. Even though the coach and his wife added a lot to the novel the completely unbelievable plotline involving the vampire hunters and the father's blunt charecterization and the obvious plotline with the father's project and the blood drained animals takes more from the book than it had to begin with.

The coach's wife's obvious hints takes away from whatever hope of irony or a plot twist the most readers will have left in them. And the setting is terrible along with the friends who seem to have little purpose in the book and die without anyone really caring and the petty squable between the girls over the one friend is enough to make even the most squemish reader want them to die a horrible gory death.

If you want a good vampire novel I'd suggest Anne Rice for the older folk and Artwater-Rhodes for teens and Darren Shan for the younger ones and older since he is very good.

Summary: R.L. Stine at his best...
Review: When I was younger I read the Goosebumps and Fear Street series. I was a huge fan, and owned almost all the books. I'm currently 16 years old, and decided to pick up R.L. Stine's newest book, Dangerous Girls.

Dangerous Girls is a great book, and just what you would expect from Stine. Interesting storyline, twists, and easy-to-read, makes this book a hit!

In my opinion, I believe R.L. Stine does much better on longer novels than on series or shorter books.
