The Mediator: Shadowland by Meg Cabbot


 Rating: 4 Stars
*Mild Spoilers* To be honest I didn't realize she wrote The Princess Diaries,not that I read them.I never really expected to like ghost books much so I was in for a supprise,I totally enjoyed this one!I've always loved witty and sassy heroines, who don't take nonsense without giving you their special of knuckle sandwich!And Suze fits the bill.

So now Suze just moved to sunny California from crowded New York since her mom had remarried.It was easier for them to move since her mom was a reporter when her step-dad was a carpenter with three kids,boys to be a bit more specific,would be more harder.

At first sight she nicknamed her new brothers Dopey,Sleepy and Doc,which pretty much covered their personalities.Doc,his real name was David, is my favourite!He was probably,no definitely, Suze's favourite stepbrother as well.
Suze was hoping to get away,or at least to get a break, from her normal routine.She's a mediator,she solves ghosts' problems and send them off wherever it is that they're supposed to go.They usually come crying and screaming for her help-literally- and there's no way she can refuse,them ghosts don't give in easily.Sometimes she's forced to get physical with certain stubborn ones,you remember that knuckle sandwich I mentioned?


As soon as she stepped into her new room she met her first ghost of the season,Jessie.He doesn't seem to need her help at all.She doesn't look forward to sharing her room with this ghost boy,who happened to be a hottie!So she told him to get lost,which he did...for a while.
Suze found out that she wasn't the only mediator in town,oh no she wasn't alone.Father Dominic,the principal at her new school(Catholic), is the only mediator,other than herself, that she knows of.Father Dom was trying to help a former student,Heather,now a ghost to move on.So Suze decided to take things into her own hands,oh yeah she could handle this after all she's been in the business for years,she's practically a professional right?Uh huh.Yeah well,things didn't turn out so great as she'd planned.

So in the end Heather got a one-way ticket to the afterlife.Adios.But there was still Jessie who refused to leave Suze's room,on a permanent basis that is.So she decided there had to be rules.In short we know she has a crush on Jessie and he has a crush on her ,yeah a ghost I mean how weird can you get but it's kinda sad.

Well I can't wait to get my hands on the next book in the series.I started this book last night and finished is only this morning.Yup I'm hooked!
