This review is from: Ninth Key (The Mediator, Book 2) (Paperback)

High school sophomore Susannah Simon - Suze for short - is getting used to her new home in southern California following her mother's remarriage. It's a pain living in the same house as three annoying stepbrothers, but at least she's making friends at school and even has met a guy who seems interested in her. But as usual, her role as a mediator - a human who helps guide wayward spirits to their final resting place - gets in the way of her social life. One night, the ghost of a woman appears to Suze, begging her to tell "Red" that he wasn't responsible for her death. Suze does some asking around and comes to the conclusion that the woman means "Red" Beaumont - who, unfortunately, is the father of Suze's prospective boyfriend! Of course she's upset that the only guy who's ever asked her out may be the son of a murderer. But nothing can prepare Suze for the web of intrigue she uncovers, which includes a corrupt businessman, a string of disappearances, and possibly even a vampire! This entertaining teen series combines mystery, suspense, and humor for a great read. I'd recommend that all of Meg Cabot's fans give this great series a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suze has a new challenge, February 19, 2001

This review is from: Ninth Key (The Mediator) (Mass Market Paperback)

When Suze is comfronted by a screaming ghost asking for her to find Red and tell her that he didn't kill her, she knows she has to act. SO when she finally finds a Red, named Red Beaumont, she shocked to find out that he's the father of the first guy she's even dated, Tad Beaumont. But as she continues into this case she finds herself involved in something much bigger. Is this what she was supposed to do? Or has she found herself involved in something a little too supernatural.

Just like the last book in the series this book was entertaining and a great ghost story. Don't always go for the obvious answers, becasue you never know what to expect. This book is just as good as the last. Even though another book hasn't announced for the series I hope another one is at least in the works!
