I really hoped that Stargazer would be more like the second half of Evernight, where the characters thought things out better and were just more interesting. Instead, within the first chapter I wanted to yell at Bianca again. She goes into this whole tirade about how she only has one chance to break into Mrs. Bethany's house because she only leaves three times a year and there are no students around right now because it is summer. Okay, great - she had a plan. She then attempts to break in. But, her idea of breaking in is slipping her laminated library card into the door and hoping (and this is the culmination of her brilliant plan). Apparently she didn't bother to actually find out how the whole credit card trick works or even to consider that there is a difference in the way a credit card might work from a laminated library card. Okay, fine I can get passed that obvious brain lapse. Once she breaks in she admits that she is looking for information on Lucas. However, all she does is go to the writing desk, read a couple of letters about newly admitted students and those who were rejected from the school and then she leaves. She leaves! What the heck! She had apparently had this wonderful plan to break in to this house and figure out what was going on with the vampire hunters and she gave up after reading a couple of letters! Never mind that she was the one who told us that this was her only chance to snoop and it would not happen again, never mind that she went through all the trouble of getting into the house and all --- she just left! And once again I'm cursing my need to finish a series the whole way through, because this girl is seriously irritating me. 
 I will say that eventually the book got better, and the ending was actually interesting (which is why I would rate this at a 3 rather than a 2.5). I don't think that I am ever really going to like Bianca, but I do like the other characters in the book and the story is getting better and a lot more unique and suspenseful so I will be continuing with the series, but the beginning of this book was incredibly irritating.
