Stargazer by Claudia Gray
Short Review
Let's see where do I begin....I have to give props to Claudia Gray for her second installment in the Evernight Series. If you enjoyed Evernight then you will not be disappointed. I have to say Stargazer was even better than Evernight. The characters are well developed and the plot is outstanding. How can you not root for Bianca and Lucas? They have been through so much and it's only getting tougher with other forces that threaten their relationship. Bianca is still discovering about what it is to be a vampire along with a few surprises in the mix and Lucas is learning to deal with what he's always believed about vampires.
Claudia Gray also explores other characters that we have come to love and she introduces us to new characters in this book and I just have to say I want more Balthazar (Can I just say hot!!). I'm marking my calendar for the third installment Hourglass.

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. . .

I love stories set at boarding schools or colleges, especially supernatural stories! This looks like a lot of fun. It's so rare that a sequel is better than the first in a series, so I'm excited to hear that this one exceeds the first.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Violet. I love books that take place away from home, like boarding schools and whatnot. Vampires are a new favorite of mine as well, so yay!!!

I followed and I commented. Sounds like an interesting book.
ReplyDeleteLove the vampires man! They were my first love, followed by werewolves (and other were-animals, naturally!). Just about any book with a vampire is bound to be good, take "Dracula" or "The Historian", both vampire(ish, on the 2nd title) books, both wonderful!
