The Mediator Series by Meg Cabot

A wonderful book I read this summer was The Mediator Series:Twilight by Meg Cabot. In this book The main character Suze can see and talk to ghosts,The people who have powers like hers are called mediators. Suze is an aggressive yet helpful young lady. Suze focuases on helping ghosts get to the next life.Her peer Paul Slater is also a mediator.Unlike suze Paul likes to steel from the ghost and mock there problems,he often tells suze that a mediators job is not to help ghosts just to listen and mock.The next character is Jesse De Sliva.Jesse is a ghost who died 150 years ago when he was 20 years old.Jesse is a sensitive and caring young man,with a passion for helping people.
The main conflict of this book is that both Jesse and Paul are in love with Suze.Suze however does not know who to choose.She loves Jesse but he is a ghost and can not give her a decent life.Jesse can never be introduced to suze's parents,he can never get married or have children with her,and he will never grow older than 20,not that it matters because only mediators can see him anyways.Jesse would always be Suze's little secret almost like an imaginary friend.Paul on the other hand is gorgeous ,wealthy,and human.Paul has every thing suze would ever need, there is only one problem he's a huge jerk.The message Meg Cabot is trying to portray is that true love concurs all ,and that if you are mean to people you wont get anywhere in life.
Cabot uses foreshaowding alot in this book.She uses it well and it adds to the unique genre of magical realism.Her foreshawding keeps you on your toes and wanting to turn the page.Cabot uses ambiguity,foil character,and a great setting.For foil characters Pauls jerkyyness makes Jesse better,and for setting the old house Suze lives in was a perfect place for her to meet Jesse.I love this book and i would deffently recomend it to girls my age.
