YA
Bitten by a vampire at summer camp, Destiny and her twin Livvy, increasingly desperate for blood, must find the Restorer before they become full vampires themselves or the vampire hunters get them. Although the writing style is flat and banal, Stine does know how to build suspense, and two murders, lots of blood, and a walking corpse will give fans the gross-out they crave.
