Product Description
Suze is used to trouble, but this time she's in deep: Ghostly Jesse has her heart, but Paul Slater, a real flesh -- and -- blood guy, is warm for her form. And mediator Paul knows how to send Jesse to the Great Beyond. For good. Paul claims he won't do anything to Jesse as long as Suze will go out with him. Fearing she'll lose Jesse forever, Suze agrees. But even if Suze can get Jesse to admit his true feelings for her, what kind of future can she have with a guy who's already dead?

 Generally, an interesting book. September 1, 2008
Haunted, by Meg Cabot, is just one book in a series chronicling Susannah Simon's multitudes of adventures. From the beginning, Susannah seems just like any average high school girl. Unlike ordinary school girls, Susannah is a mediator, a liason between the living world and the dead. Her job is to help the ghosts still on earth reach their final resting place. One ghost, Jesse, is still stuck on earth, and Susannah just happens to be in love with him. To make things complicated, Paul, a fellow mediator, shows up one day at school. Paul, contary to his seemingly innocent looks, has tried to kill Susannah and trap Jesse in an alternate world. Susannah now has many thoughts on her mind. First, what is Paul doing at her high school? Secondly, does Jesse possibly love her too? The only downside to the book is that it is slightly predictable. Other than that, it is a well written book.
 Exciting page-turner March 21, 2008
In 'Haunted', Paul Slater from book #4 makes a reappearance and Suze is even more certain of the fact that her first impression of him was wrong. Paul is a mediator and seems to know more about the gift than Suze does. At first, Suze is disgusted by Paul and wants nothing to do with him but as time goes on, she finds herself wanting to know more about their shared gift.
At the same time, Suze's feelings for Jesse grow stronger. She remembers the prophesy of her having only one love, made by the psychic she saw while she was still living in New York. Jesse seems to be who she truly loves. Throughout the book Suze is torn because she loves Jesse but he doesn't seem to feel the same way and she knows that they couldn't possibly have any kind of future together. Paul however, does seem to have feelings for her and he's alive. Paul claims to be able to send Jesse on to his next life for good but agrees not to, as long as Suze will go out with him.
As the book goes on, Suze sees that she cannot trust Paul. Paul tries to get Suze to realize that she will not have a future with Jesse and will stop at nothing to send Jesse away forever.
I really enjoyed this book. It was an exciting, fast paced book and I could not put it down. The book ends with a cliffhanger that makes me wish the book had gone on a little longer.
There were a couple of things I didn't like about the book. For one, I really wanted to know more about Jesse's history. What are the details of his death? Also, Paul didn't reveal a whole lot about his and Suze's shared gift. I'm guessing that this will be covered in the next book.
Overall, I really liked 'Haunted'. This book ties with the 4th book 'Darkest Hour' for my favorite book out of the Mediator Series.
Haunted Homework December 28, 2007
I'll admit, when I started reading this, I felt a little lost. I think there was a book before this one, but I could follow the story based on that assumption. Most holes were filled in, which made it easier to follow.
I really did enjoy the story. The names, actually, made the book more interesting for me. Being a person who usually reads manga, names such as CeeCee, or Susannah, or Paul.
Being a romantic, I loved the triangle between Jesse Suze and Paul. Trust a girl to unknowingly lead two men on while thinking the guy she loves hates her. A classic, and almost cliche. It would be, if Jesse weren't a ghost. That was probably my favorite part. Suze was in love with a ghost, and the ghost didn't want to hold her back but couldn't let her go!
I couldn't help but get all jumpy and smiley while I was reading the last chapter!
