Reader reviewed by Stephanie

Susannah Simon has just moved across the country to live with her mother, her new stepdad, and her three stepbrothers. She loves the town of Carmel and the Pacific Ocean, but she has MAJOR problems with the house. Particularly as there is a very hot ghost sharing her new bedroom with her.

Suze is a mediator. She sees ghosts and tries to help them move on to the next life by helping them complete a task. Sometimes, however, she is forced to resort to violence. And violence and force will turn out to be everything as she deals with her most vicious ghost yet at her new school: Heather, who committed suicide when her boyfriend broke up with her.

Heather is determined to do anything to regain her old life, and she thinks Suze is taking over her rightful place at school. Heathers increasingly violent nature forces Suze to reluctantly make plans for an exorcism, something that she never likes to do, and something that she hopes Jesse, her ghostly roommate, will stay away from, no matter how much he doesnt want her to do it.

Meg Cabots excellent MEDIATOR series has a catchy start in this first book. Suze is a character, and Jesse the quintessential perfect man. Suzes interesting interactions with the people in her life will amuse readers for the whole entire series. I highly recommend these books.
