Cabot's successful and beloved "Mediator" series graduates from the YA genre into a long-anticipated adult installment, seventh in the series (after Haunted and Twilight). Susannah, or as her fan base knows her, Suze, is now engaged to Dr. Hector "Jesse" de Silva. For those unfamiliar with the story, Jesse was a NCDP (noncompliant deceased person) with whom Suze fell in love. She has long had the gift of seeing and talking to ghosts since high school. Now, though, our protagonist is trying her best to have a normal adult life after graduating college and becoming a guidance counselor. However, both old and new ghosts, including her ex-boyfriend Paul Slater, put a wrinkle in her happy ending.
VERDICT This novel stands well enough on its own, but a desire to read the whole series is irrefutable, and some may find it a little daunting to start with an ending of sorts. Cabot's great writing, as always, is captivating from the beginning, replete with fun and mysterious personalities. Fans of the series will be rewarded for their patience to hear from these characters again. [See Prepub Alert, 8/24/15.]
