1: Shadowland
I am a book lover, and I'll read almost anything. This Book (series really) is one of my favorites. The writing isn't brillant, but sometimes the storyline counts more. Its about a girl who moves from New York to California. All she wants is to start over, but wait... there's a ghost of a 150 year old cowboy in her bedroom. It's funny, but serouse at the same time, sort of like reading a book by Fred and George Weasly. Well that was how the language was anyway.

A great start to an even better series. This book really opened the door up on this series to me. I'm only working on the third book but I know the rest of the books in the Mediator series are going to be just as great.
Suze has to move with her mom to LA with her moms new husband and 3 boys. Her dad died when she was younger and he still hasn't moved on. she meets that best looking ghost shes ever seen. And even if she won't admit it, shes totally in love with him. And he even saves her life when the ghost heather goes crazy because shes mad she killed herself and now shes taking revenge on the reason she killed herself in the first place.
I highly recommend!

3: my type
This book was awesome. I enjoyed every part of it, and I was interested in the topic about mediators. The only one thing that I do have to criticize about this book is that the main character isn't catholic. I am, so in many ways, I found her beliefs conflicting with my own. It was nothing too extreme, but I wasn't fully comfortable with it.
Although, the fact that the preist was the principal made up for it. The story line is well-written. I found Suze's character perfect in the way that she was realistic and not the type where the author just makes them perfect. If you're looking for something to enjoy, pick this book up. It is finish in a day material.

5: Great Read
Suze Simon is a 16-year-old girl who can see, touch, and talk to ghosts.
The story begins with Suze Simon moving from New York to northern California to live with her mother, stepfather, and three stepbrothers. Suze intends to live a different life from the one she lived while she was in New York-meaning she does not want the company of ghosts but she soon learns that there is no escaping her job as a mediator.
When she arrives at her new home, she discovers that there is a ghost living in her room. Desperate to start a new life that doesn't involve talking to ghosts, Suze pretends to not see ghosts while her mother is around. She learns that the ghost living in her room is a 150-year-old ghost named Jesse who happens to be very attractive.
On her first day of attending her new school, Junipero Serra Catholic Academy, Suze is surprised to see that there are no ghosts around. What with Junipero Serra being a very old school, there should be plenty of ghosts around. Suze then learns that the reason there are no ghosts around is because Father Dominic, the principal of Junipero Serra Catholic Academy, is a mediator himself. Father Dominic had managed to get rid of all the ghosts that were hanging around the academy, that is, except for one.
The ghost of a girl named Heather continues to haunt the school and she proves to be a very powerful ghost who will stop at nothing to get her revenge.
'Shadowland' is an entertaining, suspenseful, and funny thriller that 'pulls' you in right from the beginning and doesn't let go until the last sentence of the book.
I enjoyed the character of Suze and also the funny dialogue. The characters of the book were believable and easy to relate too. This is one of the best books that I've read in a long time.
