Series:Series: Mediator book 7

In this 7th installment of the Mediator series, mediator Suzannah Simon has to deal with many things. First there is her new job at her old school as a guidance counselor, besides being engaged to Dr. Jesse Da Silva. She finds out that real estate magnate and old fling of her, Paul Slater wants to demolish her childhood home, something she isn't that happy about. And then she has to deal with the ghost of a little girl who had an tragic accident when she fell of her horse years ago.  The ghost almost kills Suze, so on firsthand she thinks this is an evil ghost, but during the storyline of the book, she finds out the history of this girl and her sister, and why this girl can't move on to the next world, and she discovers that the girl didn't have an accident, but was murdered.Time for Suze to unravel the truth and bring the murderer to justice!

It is quite a while ago that I read the 5th book in the Mediator series, and I missed out on the in-between novel The Proposal, so I had to dig a little in my memory to remember the characters of it. This book was a little harder to read as a standalone as the author let's Suze reference to things happened in the previous book(s), as for example with Paul Slater and Jesse, where some points where a little lost on me.

Now for the storyline and plot: the idea for the plot was good. But the sharpness and tension got lost in chatter, way too much chatter from Suze. It slowed down the story and made it go nowhere on many points. It would have been a much more exciting if the scary ghost of the girl was more deepened out. Therefore I was a bit dissapointed in this book, it didn't had the high speed, excitement and sparkle of Meg Cabot's other books. I also wasn't sure in the beginning if the book is aimed to a middle grade/young adult or to an adult audience, I can now say it is definately the last one, as there are some scenes in this book that are certainly not suitable for younger readers.
