Grade 7-10 - This sixth entry in the series focuses on Suze Simon's attempts to save the love of her life, ghost Jesse, and on her continuing adversarial relationship with another mediator named Paul. The narrative incorporates ghosts, time travel, and romance, and somehow stays grounded in some sort of reality. The characters are engaging, the plot is kicky, and the humor is actually funny. Fans of supernatural series books and the author's "1-800-Where-R-You" titles (S & S) will find a lot to like here. - Amy Patrick, New York Public Library

Book Description
Suze has gotten used to ghosts. They wake her up in the middle of the night. They haunt her locker at school. She's even spotted a few down at Carmel Beach. Suze is a mediator, after all, and communicating with the dead is all in a day's work for her. The last thing she ever expected was to fall in love with one: Jesse, a nineteenth-century hottie.
But when she and Paul Slater, himself a mediator of undeniable power (and dubious intent), discover that the powers they share aren't limited to helping ghosts resolve their earthly woes, but can also be used to determine whether or not they become ghosts in the first place, Suze can't help but freak. Not because she suddenly knows how to alter the course of history, but because Paul can, too. And Paul would like nothing better than to prevent Jesse's murder, keeping him from becoming a ghost and allowing him to live a natural life at last ... but in the nineteenth century. Meaning Jesse and Suze would never meet.
Suddenly, Suze is faced with the most important decision of her life: allow the only guy she's ever loved to have the life he's always longed for ... or keep him anchored forever in half-life at her side. Will Jesse choose to live without her, or die to love her?
