Stargazer leaves readers hungry for more

Stargazer, the sequel to Evernight, by Claudia Gray, left me in a lurch with its teaser of an ending! Just when my desire to know what becomes of Bianca and Lucas is at its most intense, the book comes to a close, leaving me ponder the possibilities until the next book debuts! In Stargazer, Bianca and Lucas must meet secretly if they hope to continue their impossible relationship, and with the help of the gentlemanly Balthazaar, the almost-vampire and vampire hunter can continue their dangerous affair. However, there are several problems this time around, including, but not limited to: a.) there are wraiths after Bianca b.) Bianca wants to turn Lucas into a vampire so that they can spend eternity together, and c.) Lucas would rather die than become a disgusting vampire. You see the problem. Thus, Bianca is thrown into the open arms of Balthazaar while Lucas is off hunting vampires with Black Cross, and Bianca discovers a terrible secret about her life and learns the truth about her parents and all they have kept from her all these years. If you are a fan of Evernight, then I can assure you that Stargazer won’t disappoint. From beginning to end, you will find yourself torn between Lucas’ hard core independence and capital B-A-D staking skills and Balthazaar’s maturity, wisdom and concern for Bianca. There were times when I couldn’t decide which of Bianca’s guys I like best. However, in the end, there was really only one choice for Bianca to make, and I am anxious to see where that choice takes her in the next book, Hourglass. I am not sure when it is scheduled to debut, but I will keep everyone updated, as I am a complete nerd and keep up with such things!
