THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED RETURN OF
MEG CABOT'S BESTSELLING MEDIATOR SERIES FEATURING FAN-FAVORITE GHOST WHISPERER
SUSANNAH SIMON
You can take the boy out of the
darkness.
But you can’t take the darkness out
of the boy.
All Susannah Simon wants is to make
a good impression at her first job since graduating from college (and since
becoming engaged to Dr. Jesse de Silva). But when she’s hired as a guidance
counselor at her alma mater, she stumbles across a decade-old murder, and soon
ancient history isn’t all that’s coming back to haunt her. Old ghosts as well
as new ones are coming out of the woodwork, some to test her, some to vex her,
and it isn’t only because she’s a mediator, gifted with second sight.
What happens when old ghosts come
back to haunt you?
If you’re a mediator, you might
have to kick a little ass.
From a sophomore haunted by the
murderous specter of a child to ghosts of a very different kind—including Paul
Slater, Suze’s ex, who shows up to make a bargain Suze is certain must have
come from the Devil himself—Suze isn’t sure she’ll make it through the
semester, let alone to her wedding night. Suze is used to striking first and
asking questions later. But what happens when ghosts from her past—including one
she found nearly impossible to resist—strike first?
My Review
This book. That’s all I can say. This book. It just brought
back so many memories from my junior high/high school days, back when I read
the entire Mediator series and was undeniably obsessed with everything Meg
Cabot ever wrote. I picked up this beautiful continuation of Suze’s story, and
it felt like I had never left her world.
Major kudos to you, Meg, for making it easy for your readers
to jump back into such a great story. Suze was the same semi-hot-headed,
do-it-her-way girl that we left back in book six, only now, she’s an engaged
woman. Her fiancé is none other than the super sexy Jesse de Silva… Excuse me,
Dr. de Silva. Mmm… I was, and still am, so excited that those two are still together
and getting their happily ever after… or are they? Read the book, and you’ll
find out. (Mwahaha.)
As for the plot of the book, it was a bit darker than some
of the past Mediator books, but this one is targeted towards an older, more
mature audience, so this makes sense. Nonetheless, I couldn’t believe how much
the storyline flowed with the previous installments’ tone. It seriously felt
like I had just picked up and read the first six books, but in reality, it’s
been at least four or five years since I’ve reread those puppies.
All in all, if you’re a fan of the Mediator series and Meg
Cabot or even just paranormal romance books, I’d definitely suggest picking up
this book. And, if you haven’t read the original six books, make sure to read
those first. Believe me, you won’t regret these ghostly reads.

a copy of this book from the library. This in no way affected my
opinion/review.
