A Terra Das Sombras / O Arcano Nove (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Here I thought this book is full of scary stuff since it's about a ghost hunter. But I was wrong! Suze is a sixteen year old, moving to California with her mother, stepfather and stepbrothers. She isn't excited about moving to a new place especially since the new house is nearly hundred years old. Obviously, that will give you a creep, living in a house older than you. It means ghost and scary stories. That is normal for us, but for Suze, seeing ghost is way too normal for her. Suze can see, talk and touch ghost ever since she can remember. Her task is to help this helpless soul find their way to the 'light' and move on. As much as possible, she wants to avoid them. Hey, you don't want a non-paying job, right? But on her new room, she has a new roommate which in fact is a dead soul for hundred years as well. And to add heat on it, the ghost is hottie and a gentlemen that you can't resist. This book is so interesting that it only took me a few hours to finish. I really didn't put it down until I'm on the last page. And after reading, I went straight to GoodReads for a nice review! What I like about this book is the concept of the story. It's very rare to find a book about ghost. Maybe you have read loads of them but I didn't. This was my first, so pardon me if I got excited. The characters are great as well, except maube for Suze becausr I kinda got confused with her personality. It keeps on changing; she's straight-forward abd tactless and then she'll tell that she's a loser or something. I can't explain it but still I love her kicking attitude. Jesse is also lovable, in fact I want to see more progress with their tandem. Yeah, I know it's weird to have a thing with a ghost but if we're talking about Jeese, then it's another story!I will read the second, third and God knows how many books in this series. I just hope that I can find them all right away! Here I thought this book is full of scary stuff since it's about a ghost hunter. But I was wrong!

What do You think about A Terra Das Sombras / O Arcano Nove (2012)?
This book is the first book and second book of the Mediator Series! I love this book because the plot is good and it really appeals to teenage girls since there is a mix of romance, mystery and ghost. I read it many times and I'm never bored by it. Suze Simon can see dead people and she helps them make their way to the underworld. Only a few people can do so and they're called mediators. When Suze moved to California, she was hoping to escape from the ghosts and take a little break when there's one more ghost from the 1800s living right in her bedroom. His name is Jesse and he's the most handsome ghost Suze have ever seen. She allows him to stay right there and as Jesse helps Suze help dead people, Suze began falling for Jesse although she wasn't allowed to love ghosts. What can she do?

this book has the first two stories of the series. i read the first a while ago and now just read the second one. i remember really liking the first one and thought the second was just awesome! i loved all the action and the main character is one of my favorite girl characters because of her toughness and attitude that dosent annoy you like a lot of other girl characters do most of the time. i think i enjoyed the second better even though it's been a while from reading the first book to really decide but i definatly like this series and am excited to read the third.
