My Sister The Vampire:Re-Vamped Review

     This is the second book in the My Sister the Vampire series.  It picks up where the first book left off where Olivia and Ivy find out that they are twin sisters.   The beginning of the book is when Olivia tells her family that Ivy is actually her twin sister.  Olivia's family actually take it pretty well.  On the other hand when Ivy tells her father about Olivia he does not seem that pleased that Ivy has found her sister.  The girls school paper finds out about them and publishes a story about them and they become overnight stars at their school.  After that a popular vampire magazine comes over to Ivy's house and they have a photo shoot with a famous journalist and photographer with the magazine.  The girls are excited when the magazine comes out and the girls each get a copy.  Ivy also meets her boyfriend Brandon's father who is a scientist and seems very interested in the girls because one is a vampire and the other is human.  The girls also find out about an agency called the ASHH which monitors if vampires try to have children with humans.  The girl break into the ASHH office to find anything about their birth parents.  After the break in the council finds out that Olivia knows that vampires exist and put Olivia through some tests in order for Olivia to be able to remember Ivy.   Olivia passes all of the tests and is able to keep her memories.  Olivia also signs a contract stating that she is to never tell anyone of the existence of them.  They also find out something about Ivy's dad, but I don't want to ruin it for everyone.
     I'm really enjoying this series and if anyone that has twin daughters or family members who are twins will enjoy this series too.  I love how the book is written and that you can really feel the emotions of the characters.  I like how the twins are identical but have completely different personalities.  Like I said this is a great series.

Death's Hand by S.M. Reine

    Death's hand follows a couple of exorcists that went into hiding after an incident a few years back.  Elise is the female exorcist and heroine of the story.  She quit being an exorcist because of a battle with a demon known as the Death's Hand.  Years later the demon gains an ally in Ann a witch that was vulnerable to the demon's promises.  Elise teams up with her old partner James (who is a warlock) to get the demon back to where it belongs.  In the process James is kidnapped because the demon needed a host body and it wanted James'.  Elise goes to save James with the help of friends Anthony and Betty.  The problem is that Ann using the power of the Death's hand has risen an army of the dead to thwart any means of rescue for James.
    I found the book a real page turner and I could not put it down.  It was really well written and I could really get into the characters.
