Shadowland by Meg Cabot

Suze is a mediator -- a liaison between the living and the dead. In other words, she sees dead people. And they won't leave her alone until she helps them resolve their unfinished business with the living. But Jesse, the hot ghost haunting her bedroom, doesn't seem to need her help. Which is a relief, because Suze has just moved to sunny California and plans to start fresh, with trips to the mall instead of the cemetery, and surfing instead of spectral visitations.

But the very first day at her new school, Suze realizes it's not that easy. There's a ghost with revenge on her mind ... and Suze happens to be in the way.


I love this book.  Plain and simple.  I cannot believe I missed this when it first came out (forever ago!!) because my teenage self would have read the entire series at least 10 times by now.  The main character is sassy but smart and just crazy enough to constantly be putting herself in danger and then narrowly escaping it.

Keep in mind this book is totally for chicks.  There's boy gossip and hot guys and dating mishaps (#firstworldproblems much?!?) so the actual storyline is not that intense, but it is a nice break from all the serious contemporaries I've been reading lately.  On top of everything each book is only about 300 pages so I've been averaging about one book a day - which is pretty good for this working girl!

All in all, this book series is very light and fun.  It's a really good travel read or beach book, there's not too much thinking involved, but there is just enough mystery to keep you invested.

5 stars!!
