Summary: A good read
Review: I have really enjoyed the Mediator series with Susannah Simon. The books blend mystery, a ghost story, romance, and suspense! I usually read author, Sherry A. Mauro but this writer is just as good. Now I want to read "The Princess Diaries"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another great book by Jenny Carroll!
Review: I have to say, this was the first and one of the only books that made me cry. And like Suze, I dont cry over just anything. I really really liked it, and the end made me go out and buy the book the next day. Well anyway, in this book Suze gets this summer job, where she meets another mediator. And also her dad makes this kind of sad and gruesome discovery in their back yard. But then Jesse dissapears which is the sad part. This book reveals most of Jesse's past, and has a surprise ending. Trust me when I tell you that this is a stellar book you do not want to miss out on!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love it!
Review: I loved the Mediator series and the 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU books. In the Mediator series the main character is Susannah. I love how she starts talking fashion while kicking ghost butt. Also she is funny in the way she thinks.

In the book she likes a ghost named Jess. She always does somehting to protect him without telling him about it and ends up getting them into even more trouble then they alredy are in.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Really Great Read!
Review: I really like all of Jenny Carroll's (aka Meg Cabot) books, but this is one of my favorites.
This book is the fourth in the Mediator series, and i really like it. Here's some things about the book:
-You find out more about Jesse's death
-You get introduced to Paul, a guy who'll hang around Suze for a while, a guy who may look good, but not such a good influence
-Suze finds out more about mediating (or is it shifting?)
-Jesse's knife-wielding ex-fiance, Maria De Silva, is here, along with her slave-driving, uber icky husband
-Suze gets a nice bruise on her forehead the size of Texis, afer getting thrown off a roof.
Interested? Well, get reading! This is a really good book, and very funny. (...)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a must read for jesse fans
Review: I thought that this was a wonderful part to the Mediator series. A must read for Suze and Jesse fans! Since everyone already wrote a little about the story, I'll just say that you should read it too! Hopefully there'll be another book to this series,and I can't wait for the next 1-800 ones.

Summary: Darkest Hour
Review: In Darkest Hour, sequel to Reunion, Susannah Simon is once again forced by her birthright to give up any pretense of relaxation. Now her sixteenth summer is bad enough in that she has to work at Pebble Beach Hotel and Golf Resort, but there is and attractive and interested guy named Paul and she's stuck wearing the ugly and unflattering uniforms provided. It doesn't help that the fiance of the love of her life, Jesse (who also happens to have died about 100 years ago), woke her up with a knife to her throat and told her to stop her stepdad and stepbrother from digging the hole in the backyard for the new hottub. But before Susan did anything of the sort a skeleton was found. Presumably Jesse's. And now Jesse has disappeared. Not only this but the little wierdo at the resort, Paul's little brother, turns out to be a mediator minus the self preservative instincts. He has told anyone who will listen that he can see dead people and is terrified of them. Now Susan has to fend off the two ghosts who murdered Jesse, his fiance and her husband, train an incompetent mediator, hunt down Jesse, and keep her summer job. I'll bet she can't wait for school to start again.

As with all Jenny Carroll' other books, this was a superb book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK!
Review: It's summer vacation, and Suze is stuck at a job talking care of the most boring kid ever, as well as having a uniform that makes her [behind] look big. But when her step brother and father find the remains of Jesse, the hottie cowboy ghost that she happens to be in love with, his ex-fiance gets a REALLY [angry] because Suze is postitive Maria killed Jesse. Now she's get a deal with her and her evil, slave-driver ghost husband.

This book was sooooo good! I was cracking up like, the entire time. It was really intresting with a great plot. After I read this book, I looked through the whole store and they did not have ONE book from the series, I had grabbed the last one, which was pretty frustrating. Anywayz, this book is really good and *so* funny. It's one of the best books for teens out there!

Summary: Absolutely Fabulous!
Review: It's Suze's 16th summer - her first in California - and she was all set to spend her time sunning on the beach and just generally hanging out, but her stepfather insisted that everyone work or go to summer school. So Suze is trapped working as a babysitter at the Pebble Beach Hotel. This is not as bad as it would seem because she does make $10 + tips and can get a killer wardrobe for school the next year. Too bad this total loser keeps requesting her as his babysitter. Well, its not that Suze doesn't like Jack, its that she doesn't like his older brother, Paul, seeing her in her stupid pleated khaki shorts that make her butt look like a wide load, but Suze is trying to make the best of it.

Suze is finally able to pry Jack away from the TV and down to the pool where she discovers that Jack is a mediator, like herself. Suze figured out when she was really young that no other adults could see the dead people so she just didn't mention it to anyone - not even her mom. Jack hadn't figured this out at quite such a young age and so had spent a lot of time in therapy. Unfortunately, Suze wasn't able to spend as much time as she would like with Jack because Maria de Silva, a woman long dead, showed up in the middle of the night holding a knife to Suze's throat and threatening to kill her if she didn't stop her father and brother from digging the hole in the backyard. As if she is going to give into some hoop-skirted skank who ordered Jesse, the hot ghost who haunts her room, killed 150 years before! While trying to get Jack to act normal, convince Jesse that she wasn't in love with him, really, get revenge on Maria de Silva and avoid Jack's creepy, but hot, brother Paul, Suze finds herself in for a very interesting summer vacation...

This is the 4th book in The Mediator series and it is just as good, if not better, than its predecessors. Suze is an awesome main character and readers will identify with her right away (aside from the seeing dead people thing, that is). She is hilarious, but always has a very rational reason for doing what she does. Too bad no one else ever understands what is going on inside her head but herself. Anyway, this makes for some very interesting choices on Suze's part and it is fun to see her interact with the other, not-really-normal characters in the book. If you haven't read any other books in the series, you can start with this one, but the series is so good that you should run out and buy them all for yourself!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Turning point in this great series!
Review: It's Suze's sixteen summer---her first in sunny California---but instead of relaxing and getting a tan, she's stuck working as a baby-sister at a hotel resort, not to mention the boy she is babysitting, Jack, turns out to be a young, budding mediator or that his older brother Paul does have some boyfriend potential. Things start going from okay to bad when Suze is awakened by Maria de Silva---the ex-finacee of the 150 year old hot ghost that shares Suze's bedroom, Jesse---with a knife to Suze's neck, telling Suze to stop her stepdad, Andy, from digging up Jesse's body from her won backyard. Suze has a good idea that when the body of Jesse is discovered she might lose him forever, but she isn't about to help Maria de Silva. Suze knows, however, Maria de Silva will do anything to stop the digging, even if it does mean killing Suze. As Suze digs deeper into the mystery surprising things happen in a world that Suze can't control, and helping Jesse might even risk certain death to herself, but Suze is ready for the challenge. Wow! What can I say? The best Mediator book yet with revelations at every corner that are more shocking that before. This is definitely a pivatol book in the series and a turning point. The cliffhanger ending makes you want the next book like crazy. Unfortunately Haunted: Mediator #5 isn't coming out until January 2003! I am really going to die waiting!!
