Is it possible to be haunted by someone who isn't even dead?

Suze is used to trouble, but this time she's in deep: Ghostly Jesse has her heart, but Paul Slater, a real flesh-and-blood guy, is warm for her form. And mediator Paul knows how to send Jesse to the Great Beyond. For good.

Paul claims he won't do anything to Jesse as long as Suze will go out with him. Fearing she'll lose Jesse forever, Suze agrees. But even if Suze can get Jesse to admit his true feelings for her, what kind of future can she have with a guy who's already dead?

Now, What I Thought:

Ahhhhh, If you guys liked Paul from book four, Darkest Hour, then your in luck! He has been (practically) bumped up to one of the main characters now. If you didn't like him, then sorry but you're going to have to put up with him for a little while longer.
A lot of stuff between Suze and Jesse happens. I mean after what happened last book with the kiss and stuff, you would think everything would be fine right? nope.
Jesse is a very complex person (??person???), so of course he's not going to just confess his undying love for her.. That would be too easy, which kinda makes me want to punch him in the face.
Im pretty sure I'm not the only reader who wanted to hurt Jesse at one point because he's just so infuriating. Talking about infuriating, Paul Slater (like I said before) does come back, and is now attending Suze's high school. I found myself very confused at some parts because, well, she has this 'undying' love for Jesse and always confesses it in her head but then she goes off and starts to feel SOME attraction to Paul? Now usually, I would relate and be like "oh of course! Sometimes you change the person you love blah blah blah" but see, she's getting attracted to Paul and does something pretty stupid -in my mind- and still can say she loves Jesse and no one else. I don't know.. I just didn't process that. Sounds very confusing, I'm aware, so please hurry and read the book so you can feel my pain :(

There's a hot guy in Susannah Simon's bedroom. Too bad he's a ghost.

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.

Now, What I thought:

This was such a nice, light read. I've been reading heavy-paranormal type books lately and they've always been series so when I saw this book, I decided I should give it a go. Im so glad I did because even though, yes it's about ghosts (paranormal) and yes it's a series buuuuuuttttttt it's actually so light and funny and it doesn't feel like you have to skim any parts just to get it over with. And I've done that on a lot of books, trust me, this was a relief! At first, I actually thought this was just one book and not a series. So I started reading it last night, I finished it in roughly 3 hours and when I noticed some stuff wasn't explained at the end of the book, I sort of panicked. Thats when I went on trusty Goodreads and found out there are currently 6 books!

Now, when I usually see that I have started a series and there are many books still to go... I tend to not read it or skim over half of it.. I have no clue why... But this book was so light and the humour in this book was unbelievable.. I was up at 2am last night, not really sleepy but tired nonetheless, I was laughing my head off! The main character Susannah is HILARIOUS! And the romance between the main character (16 year old) and the man (a GHOST) in this book wasn't finished and still left you hanging at the end, so of course it makes me want to read the other books to find out what could happen.
I say, read it, its a light fun book to read and if you think you would be interested in reading all 6 books, GO FOR IT! I am :)
