Stargazer by Claudia Gray


What a fantastic month for sequels......I know this came out a bit ago but with my TBR pile I cant seem to get these great books read fast enough!
Stargazer Synopsis:
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—
Bianca has had a long summer.....no Lucas, no friends just the empty academy where she lives with her parents, as the beginning of a new school year begins she jumps at the chance to be reunited with Lucas. Sneaking off Evernight can be tricky though and with it consequences. Whats a girl to do? Well obviously fake a romance with Balthazar who is a powerful old vampire that will help you sneak off campus to hook up with your beloved...sounds like a plan...... but Bianca, Lucas and Balthazar really have no clue whats in store for them this year at Evernight.
Both Bianca and Lucas want to know why the academy admits human students, when everyone must go to such great lengths to keep the true nature of the school's students a secret. When the school becomes plagued with wraiths, or ghosts, seemingly intent on harming Bianca, a long kept secret comes out and the secure world Bianca thought she lived in unravels.
The Goods:
I like Bianca, she is a fun and easy character to cheer for. I like the tension and love story Gray has created with Bianca and Lucas. The ultimate forbidden doomed love. The writing was good, I thought the characters worked and most YA teens will like this story and the twists that will unfold.
The not so goods:
I can't say anything bad about this story because I really enjoyed it! The wraiths were super creepy and I thought the direction of the story was great. The only thing I really liked which I can't really write about because it will spoil the book and also what I think most will disagree with me on and hate was the "love" twist and the development of a particular relationship. It made me like that character much more to the point where I really want to learn more about him and see into his mind and the things he's going through. I cant wait for Hour Glass......until then savvy readers happy star gazing!!
4/5 YA Vampires, ghosts, romance
