fyrefly98's review

Now we're getting to the good stuff. This books drops the "random ghost approaches/attacks Suze and she has to make it right" plot of the first few, and gets right to the heart of the series: Jesse. More specifically, Jesse's past, Jesse and Suze's relationship, and how the two intersect in the form of the ghost of Maria de Silva, Jesse's ex-fiancé. I laughed, I... didn't cry, but I felt bad for Suze at several points, I gasped, I "awwww"-ed. Some of the explanations/motivations for what's going on are kind of weak (Maria de Silva's trying to kill Suze why now?), but some potentially interesting new characters were introduced, and the story felt like it mattered more since it was about Jesse - while not losing its fun and fluffy tone. My favorite so far.

The Mediator Series by Meg Cabot is about a girl that can see ghosts. This becomes a little tricky when she moves from New York to California only to find a gorgeous ghost is already living in her bedroom. Not only does Suze have to deal with Jesse there is another ghost trying to kill people at her school. I loved these books, Suze was so down to earth and Jesse was so crushable. ( )

Being a mediator is looking to be not as rare as was first thought by Suze! I like the continuing development of Suze & Jesse, as well as getting to know Jesse's background. This book sets up a recurring "bad guy" - wonder how long he will stick around? Guess I'll have to keep reading! ( )

When Suze is woken up by having a knife held to her throat by the long deceased fiancée to the ghost she is crushing on, she knows she's in for a bad day. Surprisingly amongst the bad (having to get up early for work, having to dress in butt expanding khaki shorts and the like) Suze finds a diamond in the rough in the form of a pint sized fellow mediator. This one bright spot of the summer quickly fades when a 150 year old corpse is dug up out of Suze's backyard and her favorite friendly (if frustrating) ghost disappears.

Yup, another great entry into the series and another one with some very great short scenes. Especially the one where Jesse discovers Suze hiding out in Doc's bed with a variety of construction implements. My only complaint was that after the introduction of such a cute character in Jack that we unfortunately do not see again after this volume. ( )

Young Adult book, very interesting story line. Had to read all of the books one after another. Young girl that has the ability to see ghosts. She actually shares her room with one. This story follows this relationship along a rollercoaster of emotions and problems. Only to find that love with prevail. ( )

I did not like the turn the series took in this book. The narration was misleading about Jesse proceeding to the afterlife, and his return from the afterlife was too convenient. ( )
