This uses the \SuspendCounters feature of (my) package assoccnt, which prevents specific counters to be increased until \ResumeSuspendedCounters is used.
I additionally 'killed' the page number formatting to prevent the page numbers to appear.
\documentclass[twoside]{book}
\usepackage[globalsuspend=true]{assoccnt}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{First}
\blindtext[20]
\clearpage
\SuspendCounters{page}
\let\thepageorig\thepage
\renewcommand{\thepage}{}
\chapter{Second}
\blindtext[20]
\ResumeSuspendedCounters%
\let\thepage\thepageorig
\chapter{Third}
\blindtext[20]
\end{document}
Edit -- Now the 'same' document without suspending the page counter
\documentclass[twoside]{book}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\chapter{First}
\blindtext[20]
\clearpage
\chapter{Second}
\blindtext[20]
\chapter{Third}
\blindtext[20]
\end{document}
And now without suspension -- Chapter 2 is used with page number 9
\documentclass{...}and ending with\end{document}.
