Stargazer By: Claudia Gray Book Review

The vampire in me was closer to the surface... 
Evernight Academy: an exclusive boarding school for the most beautiful, dangerous students of all—vampires. Bianca, born to two vampires, has always been told her destiny is to become one of them.

But Bianca fell in love with Lucas—a vampire hunter sworn to destroy her kind. They were torn apart when his true identity was revealed, forcing him to flee the school.

Although they may be separated, Bianca and Lucas will not give each other up. She will risk anything for the chance to see him again, even if it means coming face-to-face with the vampire hunters of Black Cross—or deceiving the powerful vampires of Evernight. Bianca's secrets will force her to live a life of lies.

Yet Bianca isn't the only one keeping secrets. When Evernight is attacked by an evil force that seems to target her, she discovers the truth she thought she knew is only the beginning. (Summary thanks to Goodreads)
I must say I'm usually hesitant reading the second novels to any series. The reason behind that is that I find that most authors hit all the right notes in there first and then when it comes to delivering the second they kind of coast by. Don't get me wrong I think a job as an author is hard so I'm not trying to offend anyone. Anyways thats besides the point (I swear totally got side tracked) this book was better then I expected. I thought it was a good second. Evernight was hard to beat but this one wasn't to far behind. Saying that, let me go into more details. 
Stargazer starts off with a little adventure as Bianca is breaking into Mrs. Bethany's cabin. Then the mystery begins. So in this novel a new paranormal was introduced "Wraiths" which I dislike calling them that, I prefer Ghost. These Wraiths are no Casper the friendly ghost. NO, no, no these ghost may be mysterious at times, but as well there are nights where they could keep you up. These Wraiths even begin attacking the school. So back to Bianca she comes up with the ultimate plan, she has been missing Lucas a lot since he was forced to escape Evernight Academy. The reason she needs a plan is because Mrs. Bethany is Mrs Bethany un-trusting, sneaky, and the fact the Bianca dated a person within the Black Cross she is definitely watching Bianca closely. Let me give you a hint this plan involves Bianca and my favorite fiction crush Balthazar and a relationship!! Dum dum dum dum dummmmm. Yep thats correct I said relationship, well you must be wondering why, well I got the perfect answer. Read it and find out. 
Stargazer is a roller coaster ride one you don't want to miss. There is a new kind of evil that will haunt you, and have you asking for more details. New relationship, and lets not forget the old ones as well. At Evernight people Bianca thought she could trust are not what she expected. This was a good book and I can't wait to read Hourglass, especially with a table turning ending. Hope you enjoy this one as well.
