Ninth Key (The Mediator #2)

MY THOUGHTS
I read the first book a few months ago and I enjoyed it! This isn't a dark ghost story, more of the fun variety, and it has a common plot, but I enjoyed it!

Suz is trying to be semi normal, but the fact that there's a mediator prevents that. Again. This time she's woken by a screaming woman, a ghost, who needs Suz to tell "Red" that he didn't kill her. Suz has no idea who this "Red" is, so she asks around. Turns out "Red" is the nickname of Tad Beaumont's dad. Suz ends up much deeper when the billionaire dad could be making people "disappear". And possibly insane. On the brightside, Suz is now dating Tad Beaumont, the hottest guy in school.

From what I understand, based on other reviews, this isn't the best book in the series, but it's still good. Suz is a very great narrator. She's very spunky and I absolutely love her sarcastic voice! This book gets really, uh, messed up as it goes on, which is why I have odd feelings towards it. It actually takes an oddly dark turn, but also doesn't feel as serious. This book has a wholly fun vibe to it, even when things get dark, for some odd reason.

There is a love interest, per say, in this book. But it never really goes anywhere and it also takes a back seat to everything else. Tad, the love interest, was really boring and kind of dumb. Suz says herself in the book that the only thing she really likes about him is his looks. Honestly, Tad's just there because of the plot and because Suz can't be with Jesse.

IN CONCLUSION
All in all, this was a fun book! These books are really quick and easy reads! I have all of them sitting on my shelf ready for me to read, so I'll be binge reading the rest of them soon!

Suze is back, once again, and now she has an interest in Tad. Not Jesse, which really is too bad, I was hoping that they'd get back together soon. It's somewhat frustrating. Right, back to the review:

Suze's life is thrilling so far. After finding out that she is a Mediator, a.k.a. a communicator to the dead, her life's taken a new turn, this time into the world of parties and boys. Unfortunately, then have to end up as living boys.

Read, you won't regret it.

The Ninth Key was another story about Susannah, a mediator. Suze ie being awoken in the night by the screaming of a woman, asking Suze to tell someone that they didn't kill her. Someone named Red. The only Red Suze knows is the father of a hot guy named Tad. Though Suze iswarned that she shouldn't mess with Red Beaumont, Suze does anyways. And suddenly, Suze is stuck in a puzzle of Red's past and it's connection to his brother Malcolm.

I think The Mediator series is really enjoyable to read. Suze is a girl who likes to do things her own way and it's fun to read about all the crappy stuff and complicated situations she gets into by doing it her way.

This is the second book in the mediator series by acclaimed author Meg Cabot. This is my favorite series she has written so far. I tells the story of sassy teen, Susannah Simon and he special ability to interact with the dead.

Suze has finally settled down into her new house after moving clear cross-country to sunny California to live with her mother, stepfather and stepbrothers. Its not long after though that Suze has to get back to business.

One night Suze is awoken by a shrieking woman begging her to tell Red that if wasnt his fault. Through a little detective work Suze discovers that the Red in question could just be the father of her prospective boyfriend.

I liked this book- Meg Cabot! Duh! The entire series is full of humor, adventure and romance. Highly recommended.
