Summary: The Only Negative Review
Review: The second installment of The Mediator series is full of fun, action and romance (something new for Suze)! Suze is of course a mediator, a person who can see ghosts and she helps them move on to the afterlife, but it doesn't make it any easier if the ghost appears in Suze's room screaming at the top of her lungs in the middle of the night! She only asks Suze to tell "Red" that he didn't kill her, but didn't give anymore info leaving Suze basically clueless. Not only that, she also acquired "monster hands" when she accidentally grabbed some poison oak, had to take care of this wild, ugly cat by the request of the ghost of a little boy and also got a reading done by her friend Cee Cee's psychic aunt with unexpected results! But her investigation of "Red" continues when she meets another female ghost leading to Suze being asked for a date by this cute, rich boy named Tad and getting her first kiss!
All is not well, however, when she finds out that Tad may be in a family of killers and vampires and that she has actually got the wrong "Red". Things got out of hands in the end when murder was planned for our mediator though Suze may finally realise who "Red" really was.
This does live up to its predecessor with the plot twists and funny incidents - I particularly liked Jesse's (handsome ghost haunting Suze's bedroom)reaction to Tad and Suze's adventures with the cat. We get to find out a bit more of Suze's stepbrothers and the meaning of the Ninth Key which is actually a card in the tarot deck. The story never bores and though a great book on its own, if you like this then you should read all in the series, cos why not, it's fun!

Summary: There's No Such Thing As Ghosts.
Review: Yeah, right. High school sophomore Susannah "Suze" Simon wishes that she was like everyone else and couldn't see ghosts, well, except for Jesse, the hot ghost who lives in her room. Anyway, Suze has only lived in California with her new stepfather and stepbrothers for two weeks and her life has already been a whirlwind of events - pool parties, dates with hot guys, exorcising killer schoolgirls, you know, the usual. Everything is going well until a woman shows up one night screaming and begging Suze to find "Red" and to tell him that he isn't responsible for her death. Right. Tracking down a murderer is never easy, but tracking down someone who didn't murder someone isn't exactly easy either. Luckily, Suze is able to find out that "Red" is actually Tad Beaumont's father. Too bad that Tad is gorgeous, rich and one of the most popular guys in the area - and he even asked Suze out! Now, if only Suze can get at Tad's father and give him the message, she can get on with her social life. Unfortunately, once she does get in to see him, Suze finds out that Tad's father thinks he is a vampire and totally creeps her out. Suze knows that she has to do something to make Tad see that his dad and his uncle aren't exactly playing with a full deck, but she sure can't tell him how she knows! This was a fabulous addition to the Mediator series and a great sequel to Shadowland, especially since they are so close timewise. Suze is in fine form in this book and lets nothing and no one get in her way. Sure, she gets scared, but when she gets scared she usually gets angry, too, so it is pretty entertaining. The supporting characters are great in this book and the story just sucks you in. If you haven't read Shadowland (the first book in the Mediator series), you will still understand what is going on, but I highly recommend that you read all of the books in the series as they are excellent!
