REVIEW: Remembrance by Meg Cabot

Title: Remembrance
Author: Meg Cabot 

Series: The Mediator, 7 
Publisher: Avon
Publication Date: February 2, 2018


Synopsis:
You can take the boy out of the darkness.

But you can’t take the darkness out of the boy.

All Susannah Simon wants is to make a good impression at her first job since graduating from college (and since becoming engaged to Dr. Jesse de Silva).

But when she’s hired as a guidance counselor at her alma mater, she stumbles across a decade-old murder, and soon ancient history isn’t all that’s coming back to haunt her. Old ghosts as well as new ones are coming out of the woodwork, some to test her, some to vex her, and it isn’t only because she’s a mediator, gifted with second sight.

From a sophomore haunted by the murderous specter of a child, to ghosts of a very different kind—including Paul Slater, Suze’s ex, who shows up to make a bargain Suze is certain must have come from the Devil himself—Suze isn’t sure she’ll make it through the semester, let alone to her wedding night.

Suze is used to striking first and asking questions later. But what happens when ghosts from her past—including one she found nearly impossible to resist—strike first?

What happens when old ghosts come back to haunt you?




Sonja’s Review


I cannot begin to tell you how ecstatic I was when I found out that Ms. Cabot had written a new book in The Mediator series that featured Susannah Simon completely all grown up and adulting! Oooh, I found The Mediator books when I was in middle school and it has always been my favorite series of hers — I just love and adore it! And then, of course, it took me forever to actually start reading Remembrance and then forever to finish it, but that was mostly because I didn’t want this little reunion (pun not intended) to ever be over. It really was a reunion, I loved revisiting Suze and Jesse and everyone — just being back in Suze Simon’s world was wonderful and I loved every second of it!

Remembrance was new and familiar all at the same time. There’s shenanigans, crazy antics, villains, and that same old humor. Jesse and Suze have some obstacles to face, but their connection is just as strong and true as ever — they’re solid and you never have to doubt them. I’m a little sad to say goodbye to Remembrance and these characters, but I sure had a great time seeing them again — I absolutely adored this book!
