Reunion (The Mediator, Book 3)

As Suze desperately fends off each attempt on Michael's life, she finds she can relate to the Angels' fury. Because their deaths turn out not to have been accidental at all. And their killer is only too willing to strike again.

Susannah is still adjusting to life on the west coast with her new family. To make the transition easier on her, her mother and stepfather let her best friend Gina come for a visit. This is not quite the vacation Gina was planning on. With Suze busy trying to stop four teenage ghosts from getting revenge on the guy who caused their deaths, Gina has to find other ways of amusing herself.

This is a fun, not too serious series for teenagers interested in the paranormal. Also, any of "The Mediator" books are good for a first time reader of the series, because although it does build off of the previous books, there is enough recap throughout the book that you'd never be lost. This actually can be a little annoying to someone who is already familiar with the story, because there is no handy recap first chapter or short summary that you can skip over. Even still, it is an absorbing, fun read that lets you forget yourself, if only for a little while.

This book was defiently worth the 5 month wait. Its just too bad I'm going to have to wait another 5 months for Darkest Hour. Anyway I liked how they brought Gina into this book. And even sorta liked the RLS Angels the "beakons of thier community" Definetly worth reading. Also read the Meg Cabot books they are by another pen name of Jenny Carroll.

While at the beach with her best friend, Gina, Suze just happens to see four teenagers dressed up for the prom trying to steal a twelve-pack of beer. Now the guy at the counter isn't an Einstein, but he's bound to notice them trying to steal it, but he doesn't and that's when Suze get a good look at them, and realizes that they're ghosts. And Suze, being the lucky person that she is, just happens to be a mediator, someone who can see dead people. It turns out the four were killed in a car accident and are out for blood. The person they blame for their deaths is Michael Meducci, who isn't the most popular guy in school. In order to protect Michael from the four teenagers, who have been dubbed the RLS Angels, she's going to have to date him. This isn't exactly making her like being a mediator. But Suze, Father Dominic, and Jesse find out that the RLS Angels might not be wrong about Michael. And if their suspicions are true a member of Suze's family might be the next ghost she sees. This book is definitely worthy of being in the series and I recommend it to fans of the series.

Jenny Carroll's (a.k.a. Meg Cabot) books just keep getting better and better. Her novels enjoy suspense, romance, humor, adventure -- almost every genre is incorporated.

Sixteen-year-old Susannah (Suze) Simon is a mediator. That means that she can talk to ghosts. The only people who know are her principal, Father Dominic, and (eventually) her best friend. She just moved to California in January, soon after her mother married Andy Ackerman. She now has three step-brothers, and is going to Junipero Serra Mission Academy, a Catholic school.

In this particular book, Suze's best friend, Gina, is visiting her in California from New York, where Suze used to live. Four students at Robert Louis Stevenson High School were just killed in a tragic accident -- but it might not be an accident.

Carroll gives the reader no more information than he/she needs, and keeps the reader guessing until the last twist is taken.
