Mediator: Darkest Power by Meg Cabot

Suze Simon, our favorite mediator, is forced to get a summer job: watching whiny eight-year-old Jack. While on the job, Suze finds out that Jack can also see ghosts. Suze helps him realize that the ghosts only want his help. Jack then gains more confidence which affects his brother Paul who asks Suze out on a date. She, however, rejects his offer because the only man on her mind is Jesse.

At home, Suze's stepfather and brother start to dig in their backyard and find letters addressed to Jesse from Maria de Silva, his supposed fiance. Problems occur when her ghost pops up and threatens Suze. Not wanting to worry Jesse, Suze stays quiet, only to find that Jesse doesn't show up when she calls him because Jack has exorcised him at Maria de Silva and her husband Feliz's request. Knowing there is only one way to get Jesse back, Suze tries to be exorcised herself.

Will Suze be able to save Jesse? Or will there be more obstacles like Paul in her way?
Meg Cabot's books are simply addicting.

The Mediator: Reunion by Meg Cabot

Suze and Gina, her best friend from New York, go to the beach to soak up some sun. While there, they get thirsty and decide to head over to a market for some drinks. Suze, however, finds more as she sees four formally-attired ghosts. With research, she finds out the are the RLS Angels and that they were accidentally rammed into by Michael, another student. Now, with only revenge on their minds, they will do anything to get Michael to join them in death.

By trying to protect him, Suze gives Michael the impression that she likes him and wants to pursue a relationship with him. Doing more sleuthing, Suze discovers that Michael's sister is in a coma because of the RSL Angels.

Now that Suze knows the truth, what will happen when she confronts Michael? And what are those weird feeling she has for Jesse?

The third book of Meg Cabot's Mediator series is even more action-packed than the first two.
