Haunted (The Mediator #5)

This book series just gets better and better.

Meg Cabot's kept her promises and has added another truly fantastic book to the compelling Mediator series. Meet Susannah "Suze" Simon, whose life is getting more complicated by the minute. Her heart belongs to Jesse, a gorgeous 19th century ghost that haunts her bedroom - in a good way - but Paul Slater, who's unexpectantly turned up at the Mission and is described by his grandfather as 'the spawn of the devil' is keen to take her breath away. And, as much as Suze hates to admit it, he's succeeding. But she can't help it. Because Paul is threatening to send Jesse hurtling off into the afterlife, and this time for real, unless she spends more time with him. Visits to Paul's mansion aren't exactly a chore, either - Suze is learning more about how to utilize her abilities as a 'shifter' and has discovered terrifying things about her kind. And researching isn't the only activity the two alive teenagers get up to, either, and Suze can't confess it to Jesse. And Father Dominic, clueless about romance, has been doing some interfering himself, which may explain why Jesse has been acting weird around Suze lately. Will the hot Jesse and ghost-busting heroine Suze be separated forever? Or is it just meant to be? This amazing instalment will transport you to another world, where there are whirlwinds of passion, hate, mystery and secrets of soul transference. You can't miss it, buy it now.

I can honestly say that this book is my favorite young adult book and is part of my favorite young adult series. If you haven't already figured it out yet, Suze is a mediator(she can talk and touch ghosts who haven't passed on yet) and has been haunted by ghosts all her life, but now she's being "haunted" by someone who's alive and wants no one but her...*cough*Paul*cough* It's the funniest and best book! I luff it soooo much! Jesse is a major hottie and if your a total Jesse/Suze fan, you'll totally love the ending! but the ending is on such a big cliffhanger, it'll leave you craving for more and the next book does't come out until Jan. ... 2005! thats like a FULL year and some... *cries* T-T i can't wait that long... *sighs* well anyways, buy this book, you'll end up reading it over so many times, the libary or friend you'd borrow it from would start sending you nasty letters... >.>; lol but WARNING before you read this book, make sure you've read the other books in the Mediator series under Meg Cabots other name: Jenny Carroll otherwise it's spoiled... I know i really didn't give much of a summary, but trust me on this, it's such a wicked awesome book, BUY IT ... or else! o.O; whoa, got a lil carried away there... peace man...<br>>>moondragon<<

Susie Simon has an interesting life. She is just beginning the junior year of high school, has a fascinating job, a broody boyfriend, and has caught the eye of the handsome new boy in town.There are just a few glitches. The "job" is as a mediator, someone who helps departed souls find their place. Her boyfriend, Jesse, is a ghost, and the new guy almost got both of them trapped in another universe over the summer. Not only that, but he is currently running for her job as student vice president, and there is a newly displaced ghost lurking around in need of her help. This ghost might also have deadly plans for a living person, and Susie is finding that she needs none other than her nemesis, Paul's, help in making sure everything works out all right. To further her problems, she is attracted to Paul, and feels disloyal to Jessie as a result.***** Teen age life can be nasty business, and Ms. Cabot is wonderful at expressing this in a humorous, yet touching way. The romantic triangle forming here is fascinating, if less erotic, than two other triangles that have captivated older readers, the Stephanie - Ranger - Joe or Anita - Jean Claude - Richard, ones. Mothers can enjoy this book almost as much as their teen and slightly preteen daughters, and are encouraged to do so. Although I might have enjoyed it more had I read the other books in the series, I had no trouble picking up on the action. *****Reviewed by Amanda Killgore.

Susannah Simon is a mediator, someone who helps ghosts reach their afterlife. this book is the continuation of "Darkest Hour". Paul Slater, a mediator that met Suze at a place where she was baby-sitting is back. He enrolls into Suze's school and wants to teach Suze about being a mediator and what she can do. Suze hates Paul and refuses, but Paul doesn't give up. Eventually, Suze agrees to go over to Paul's place. Suze runs away from Paul after *something* happens. Jake, Suze's oldest stepbrother has a friend named Neil. Neil's brother Craig died and wants revenge on his brother, and it's up to Suze to handle the ghost.Jesse, a ghost that lives in Suze's bedroom has been leaving more often after their kiss. Suze thinks Jesse doesn't feel the same way about her because he decides to leave. Dopey, Suze's stepbrother throws a party where Paul and Jesse see each other again, and they fight. During their fight, CeeCee, Suze's friend becomes suspicious of Jesse, and comes to the conclusion that Jesse is a ghost. Suze goes into a different place, by thinking of it in her mind. She sees Paul. He tells her to learn more from him. Suze agrees but only if Paul stays away from Jesse. Paul says he will. Suze goes back into the real world and later sees Jesse. The ending of this book was the best!!! There has to be another Mediator book!!!

Suze Simon will tell you something right now. She's definitely haunted. But this time, it's not by someone who's dead. The opposite in fact. It's by someone, Paul to be exact, who is completely undead, but has the same connection as Suze does with the dead. Because, you see, he too is a mediator. The only problem is, is that Paul wants Suze the same way that Suze wants Jesse (the nineteenth-century ghost living in her bedroom), and he's willing to do anything to get rid of Jesse, including banishing him to the Great Beyond.Meg Cabot has done another amazing job bringing back Suze Simon (one of my favorite characters in literature), and making her as quirky as ever. Readers will relish in the newest adventures, and trouble, that Suze gets herself into, and be left begging for more. This is truly a must-read. ...
