Product Description
pEverything is going great for Suze. Her new life in California is a whirlwind of parties and excellent hair days. Tad Beaumont, the hottest boy in town, has even asked Suze out on her very first date. Suze is so excited that she's willing to ignore her misgivings about Tad... particularly the fact that he's not Jesse, whose ghostly status#8212;not to mention apparent disinterest in her#8212;make him unattainable./p pWhat Suze can't ignore, however, is the ghost of a murdered woman whose death seems directly connected to dark secrets hidden in none other than Tad Beaumont's past./p

 mediator fan December 29, 2008
i love this whole series. i am a 16 year@old girl and i absolutely love them. it is a bit of romance that meets action that meets mystery. they are fun to read and you wont be able to put them down. i hope you have as much fun reading them as i did. they are worth the money.
Best so far July 3, 2008
High school cali girl/ 10th grader Suze Simon wakes up in her bed with a blood curdleing scream. Its a ghost, screaming and sobbing uncontrolably. "You have to tell Red he didn't kill me." Suze trys to put two and two together and looks up Red and finds Red Beaumount. When Suze schedules a meeting with Red Beaumount, she meets Marcus, Red's brother. Red thinks, well Red B. thinks he's a.... but he's not. But Red really is... And Marcus really tries to... and Jesse saves... and [blank] killed others too.br /br /So as you see its really a good mystery, and trust I revealed nothing to you, so you have to read it to answer these blanks!
 Pretty Good Urban Fantasy June 19, 2008
I really like Susannah's character because she kind of sassy and a "kick butt" kind of girl. She's got a really strong personality but it has many of the issues that a teen girl faces...being embarrassed...wanting a boyfriend, and all that.br /br /All in all, this is turning out to be a solid series in the genre of urban fantasy and I highly recommend.
Not as great as the first book March 18, 2008
The novel starts off with Suze being at a pool party. While Suze is at this pool party, she meets an attractive guy named Tad Beaumount. After the party, Suze wakes up in the middle of the night to a screaming ghost of a woman. The woman tells Suze to tell someone named 'Red' that he didn't kill her. br /br /With the help of her friends CeeCee and Adam, Suze tracks down a multi-millionaire businessman with the nickname of Red. Suze also finds out that Tad Beaumount is the son of this multi-millionaire. Jesse warns Suze not to get in contact with Red and that it would only cause trouble. Suze ignores Jesse's warnings and gets in contact with Red. Soon Suze finds out that Jesse's warnings were right and that things are not as they seem. br /br /'The Ninth Key' Was a really interesting book but I just don't think it was as great as 'Shadowland'.br /Don't get me wrong, I definitely enjoyed this book but it could have been improved a bit. br /There were events that were very suspenseful and had me on the edge of my seat but most of these events were kind of un-necessary (You'll have to read the book to find out because it would spoil the book if I said why they were unneccessary). br /I also agree with another reviewer that said that this book would have been better if it had been a short story or if it had been a part in the first book.
A Good Sequel August 6, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Book #2 in the Mediator series by Meg Cabot opens about a week after the first book ended. Suze, mediator at large, is suddenly visited in the middle of the night by a screaming ghost begging her to tell "Red" that she knows he didn't kill her. With a cryptic message like that, Suze checks around to find out who might be called Red, leading her to a prominent businessman and his hunky son, Tad. Delivering her message is easier said than done, and Suze becomes uneasy when she's rushed out of the strange home of Red Beaumont (even though she's definitely attracted to Tad). Imagine her surprise when the ghost reappears, accusing her of not delivering the message at all, and she runs into a second ghost who tells her Beaumont is responsible for HER death. What's going on? Does Suze have the right person? Is Red Beaumont a cold-blooded murderer? Is he a vampire? What about Jesse, the hot ghost living in her bedroom? Will Tad ask her out? br /br /This is a very good sequel to the first book in this series. Suze is finding an ally in Father Dominic, a fellow mediator, and her circle of friends is growing in her new home. We also meet her father, a ghost who has traveled across the country to give his daughter advice. This story, while of course focusing on the mediator aspect, also brings Suze into a more complex mystery and shows us her survival skills outside of her ghostly talents. There's a pretty good twist towards the end, and the tension between Suze and Jesse is intensifying. This is a fun series, not meant to be taken too seriously, and I look forward to reading more. Surprisingly well done, if you enjoy paranormal romance and suspense, you'll definitely like this one.
