Stargazer (March 2009) returns to Bianca's story a few months later. Both she and Lucas will stop at nothing to see each other again—even if it means living a life of secrets and lies. But even as Bianca finds herself torn between two worlds, she soon discovers they aren't the only ones keeping secrets. Will powerful forces within Evernight Academy keep her from deciding her own fate, or claim her forever?

I loved Evernight. Stargazer didn't quiet live up to Evernight for me. The story line just didn't pull me in as much. Also I have some issues with the cover.

The plot is fantastic. In this book Evernight Academy gets new 'guests' - wraiths (ghosts). These ghosts hold the key of Bianca's existence. Also in Stargazer Bianca begins to decide her own fate. More people need to take charge like Bianca does.

Bianca is still a real likable. I can't say much about her this time since it'd spoil the plot. Lucas is a real jerk this time. He seems to be letting other people make his choices for him. Balthazar was awesome this time around. He's such a complex character (and I love me some complex characters!).

While this book was only decent it lets me believe that Hourglass will be amazing. I'm real excited for Hourglass. Look at that cover - gorgeous! If you liked Evernight, make sure you pick up Stargazer.

For the week of 7/5

This is going to be a fun week for me. First things first: I changed the name of my blog. Eclectic Reviews had already been used several times and I would have used dawn somewhere but I didn't want to seem like I was mimicking my good friend Amanda to much. I also got a new background and I like the template a lot more then what I was using before. It seems a lot neater and more organized to me now.

Now for what's coming up. I went to Books-A-Million earlier today, which is like my heaven on earth (that as well as several other large book chains and the library) which turned out to being having a sale. I now have five brand new books (one of which I've read before, but for $4 I just couldn't say no to).



I went a head and bit the bullet and bought Rumors by Anna Godbersen.


I finally found Stardust by Neil Gaiman. Ever since I saw the movie, I've been hunting for this book.

Here's a little question for you book-buffs: Where did this quote come from?

"Not all who wander are lost."

Most people will know this =)

Have a good week!
