This is the best Mediator book so far! In the three previous books, it was always according to a model great times - ghost - a boy who wants to have a date with Suze (and is in some relation with that ghost) - ghost is beaten with some consequences to that boy. And of course there was Jesse, somewhere, usually telling Suze not to do something dangerous what she obviously does so he helps her. (And I mean every word of it in a good way, I enjoyed every single book.) But now, finally, Suze knows h More...

Well, kali ini Suze liburan musim panas. dan karena ini California, maka pekerjaan untuk musim panas gampang di dapat, dan Suze pun bekerja di salah satu hotel, sebagai babysitter.

Babysitter? well yeah, aneh kan? hehehe bayangkan seorang Suze yang sradak sruduk mengasuh anak kecil. lol

but siapa di sangka anak kecil ini punya bakat yang sama dengan Suze. don't ask me what :P

Kali ini musuh Suze tak lain dan tak jarang dan tak sering dan....... adalah Maria de Si More...

REVIEW

A triple decker review. This is what you end up with when a series is so good that you read the books one right after the other.

In Ninth Key, Suze spends a good part of her time trying to figure out if Tad Beaumont (aka Red) is responsible for a murder. While the interactions between Suze and Tad were nice, I was much more drawn to the scenes with Suze and Jesse. Remember Jesse, he’s the ghost who lives in Suze’s room. Less Red and more Jesse! There are some completely unexpected twi More...

Susannah "Suze" Simon is not having the most satisfactory summer. Instead of tanning on the beach, she's been forced by her parents into becoming a babysitter for an exclusive resort in Carmel California. Her charge, whiny Jack Slater, is no ordinary eight year old. He's a mediator like Suze. In addition to mentoring a new mediator, Suze has many, many other problems.

Despite everything she's done to resist it, she's fallen in love with Jesse, the ghost who haunts her bedroo More...

Während ihrer Sommerferien arbeitet Susannah als Babysitterin in einem Hotel und lernt dort den 8jährigen Jack kennen, der ebenfalls ein Mittler ist, aber noch nichts davon weiß. Susannah führt ihn – auf ihre Weise – in die Geheimnisse eines Mittlers ein. Natürlich ist Pater Dominic damit nicht ganz einverstanden und bringt ihm das für ihn wesentliche bei.
Jedoch macht Jack einen fatalen Anfängerfehler, der Susannahs Leben durcheinander bringt.

setelah sebelumnya agak ngerasa bosen ama "reunion", sekarang bener2 dikejutin lagi ama sensasi mediator karangan meg cabot ini. gila deh, emang tipikal meg cabot abis yang mendadak munculin tokoh baru yang perannya nggak kalah penting juga, malah bikin konflik yang wow lagi!

pas bab-bab awal buku k4 ini, aku ngerasa temponya lambat banget. yaah, agak monoton. ngebahas kesibukan musim panas Suze sebagai penjaga anak di hotel yang bisa dibilang mewah di california. disinilah di More...

Okay. Let me start by saying that I don't really write reviews. It's not that I don't think my thoughts are valid, but that they are not really original enough for others to be interested. But, I really liked these books in middle school.

With the knowledge that I had really liked these in middle school, I bought the series for my now middle school aged younger sister. She really likes them. That's great, right? Well, I just finished reading a few "classic" sort of books for More...

Being a teenager who sees dead people (a mediator) can be a challenge to your social life and your well-being. Smart, savvy, Brooklyn born, northern Californian Suze has an additional problem. She's in love with a ghost. Jesse, the 150 year old dead guy living in her house, is a hunk. It's not clear to her why he continues to linger.

Her summer job is equally uncool. She gets up every morning and puts on unfashionable kahaki shorts and babysits at a local upscale resort. The k More...

Ceritanya lebih seru daripada sebelumnya. Kali ini Suze dapat partner baru lagi dalam dunia per mediator-an selain pastor Dom yaitu bocah 8 tahun bernama Jack yg sama-sama bisa melihat hantu.

Cerita masih sama seperti buku-buku sebelumnya, tentang hantu-hantu psikopat yang walaupun udah mati tetap punya keinginan membunuh. Kali ini sasarannya Suze langsung, bukan cowok-cowok yang ditaksirnya, tapi langsung ke Suze, karena ini adalah hantu Maria de Silva. Cewek mantan tunangan Jesse y More...

This is book four in The Mediator series; I have read the first three books some time ago bur for some reason I stopped reading them. I am not sure why, but I do know it was not because I did not like this series. I do like it and I have enjoyed reading it very much. Anyways, the other day I was at the library when I came across the forth book in the series, it was right there on the table. I picked it up and started reading it there in the library.

It is Suze's first summer in California but instead of lounging and hanging out with friends she finds herself working at a hotel as an in house baby-sitter. But it seems like having a good summer is the least of her problems when the ghost of Maria de Silva Jesse's ex fiance woke her up in the middle of the night with a knife threatening her to stop the construction in their backyard or else it would cost her her life. Suze has a pretty good idea of what is buried there - the body of Jesse; the More...

This is the best series! I look forward to each one as they show up in the mail from RecordedBooks. Johanna Parker, who also narrates the Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire series, is a fab voice for Suze and the other characters in this YA paranormal series. Suze is 16 and can talk to ghosts or rather they demand attention from Suze since she is one of the few mediators out there. They help ghosts get to the other side when they get lost or don't realize they are dead.
Suze loves Jesse, t More...

This was the best book so far!!! My quick review as usual:

(My first two are spoilers, sorry.)

<spoiler>
1. JESSE ACTION!! FINALLY!! Even though it was at the end (and was just one kiss), I've been waiting for that for like FOREVER! Almost as long as Suze!! And I thought the whole "Okay, no talking, I'll just kiss you" thing was so cute!!
2. Again, HE CAME BACK FOR HER! YAY!!!

Ashley rated it:

One of the best of the series. Reasons includ:
* Paul is an interesting complication to the Jesse/Suze relationship.
* Great finally getting more information on Jesse's background and the reason for his death.
* Love the romantic element, Suze leaving her body to bring Jesse back to earth.
* More butt kicking and supernatural action.
Ticks the boxes for me. :)

I'm on the fence about giving this a 5. It's about a 4 1/2. I think I'd love it if I were a teen. I think it was written when I was a teen though. :) It is a bit dated. I'm amused at the references to Janet Jackson and Highway to Heaven. I'm not sure teens of this decade can appreciate those references. I can though. I tried to read it through my teen eyes and for that I give it a 5. I wish I would have found Meg Cabot when I was a teen. I'm sure I'd have loved everyone one of her books. I More...

I am loving this series! The idea and the main character put together creates a funny and creative book to read and they're not that long. I can't wait to read the next 2!

Suze's life in California has been anything but normal. Well, it wasn't that normal in New York either, but this past year she has had the help of her fellow mediator, Father Dom, and Jesse, the mysterious 19th century ghost who has been living in her bedroom. It's been Suze's job as a mediator to help the dead More...

These books are really such easy reads! Lots of plot development in this one. I don't exactly know if I like the direction this is all going... this new mediator shows up... and let's just say he isn't the nicest person on earth. Once again, I love all the brother-sister moments in the book. Like when Sleepy acts all old brotherly and gets mad at Suze for liking some gangster (and such). Or when Suze gets all mad on Dopey's behalf. Or when Doc is just too sweet. I personally feel that they don't More...

This review is generally for the whole Mediator Series by Meg Cabot. I picked up these books back in middle school, it was one of the few things i read. I was very fond of Meg Cabot, and i still am. With an exception of the fact that i grew out of her cheesy Princess Diaries books and moved on to more of her young adult work like Queen of Babble.

I read this series such a long time ago, and I've read them countless of times since then. It was and continues to be my favorite series de More...

Endlich ist Band 4 auf deutsch erschienen. Und innerhalb von 3 Stunden war er leider schon verschlungen.

Sofort ist man wieder in Susannah´s Welt, als man nie Abschied nehmen musste. Vereinfacht wird dies auf den ersten Seiten, die eine kurze Wiederholung der letzten Highlights zulassen.

Eigentlich könnte Susannah richtig glücklich sein, müsste sie nicht zwischen einen Ferienjob oder dem Sommercamp wählen, nur am Strand abhängen mit Freunden funktioniert nicht im Ackerman More...

"When the nineteenth--century ghost of Maria de Silva wakes her up in the middle of the night, Suze knows this is no ordinary visitation -- and not just from the knife at her throat, either. In life, Maria was the fiance of Jesse -- the same Jesse who was murdered a hundred and fifty years before. The same Jesse Suze is in love with.
Maria threatens Suze: The backyard construction must cease. Suze has a pretty good idea what -- or rather, who -- Maria doesn't want found. But i More...

I guess I may have been too harsh in my short updates about this book. It was actually pretty interesting. Better than the first two books in the series. But I still like the 3rd book better. I felt like this book was like the previous books where Suze meets a new boy and a deadly ghost. However, there was much more than that in this book. Suze meets new people and learns more about Jesse's past.

I liked the first parts and the last parts. The middle part kind of bored me and made me pu More...

Membaca mediator, membuat saya jatuh cinta pada tokohnya yang terkesan keras dan nekat. Suze selalu tidak ragu-ragu melakukan apa yang ingin ia lakukan.

Alur ceritanya dan bla bla lainnya bisa dikatakan ala Meg Cabot lah. Ia pandai melakukan alur cerita yang membuat kita tertarik untuk membaca akhirnya, meski masalahnya SEPELE.

I believe that the real significant action started in this book. With the presence of Paul Slater, the storyline got more interesting.

In this book, Maria de Silva Diego threatened Suze and ordered her to stop her stepfather and stepbrother from digging in the backyard. Suze suspected that perhaps, Jesse's murdered body was buried there and Maria didn't want her image to be tarnished by the news of her ex-fiance's murder.

Paul Slater was bad news. He was adamant at pursuing More...

I had another (much better!) review written at first but Goodreads didn't save it inbetween and when I clicked the star rating it was all gone so I had to rewrite it.

I’m disappointed with Darkest Hour, especially since I didn’t like the 2nd and 3rd book of the series as much as the first one and was hoping this one would be better. The storyline was interesting enough I guess and it promises a few interesting things for the last two books but the last few chapters to be good isn’t en More...

So, what would I know about classic literature? I've been so immersed in teen reads these past few years that I probably wouldn't know a GREAT piece of literature if I read one. But I do know the teenage genre, especially fantasy, and this series is really fun. Interestingly enough, the original book came out in 2001, ten years ago, and Books-a-million currently has it on their recommended list for this March. The series has staying power. Only two more left in this series, and with the ad More...
