Stine, R. L. Dangerous Girls: A Novel. New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 2003.

Twin sisters Destiny and Livvy Weller are in the fight of their lives – and the finale will come with the next full moon.

Destiny and Livvy spend their summer before their senior year in high school as camp counselors. Another counselor at camp is mysterious, darkly handsome Renz, with whom – unbeknownst to each other - each sister spends a romantic evening under a full moon. However, all is soon forgotten when Destiny and Livvy return home to get ready for school.

Strange things are happening in their hometown of Dark Springs. The twins have developed a bizarre craving for fresh blood. Soon, dead animals with their blood drained are discovered around town. Then two of the girls’ best friends are murdered and their blood is drained. Could the sisters have something to do with the frightening deaths?

Rumors start to fly that there are vampires loose in Dark Springs – and secret groups of hunters have formed to track the creatures down to put stakes through their hearts. The girls must battle their desire for blood and avoid the hunters as they desperately seek an antidote for their condition. However, it turns out Destiny and Livvy have different solutions in mind. To each other, they become Dangerous Girls. First in the Dangerous Girls series.
