A fun read

I loved this book. I'm not a teenager and didn't know it was aimed at that age group when I downloaded it. But I was engaged from the first paragraph. The narrator is perfect for the character Suze. I'm actually going to get the rest of these because I enjoyed the first one so much. Guilty pleasures I guess.

my favorite book from high-school

I read the first 2 books in high school and never forgot about them so I thought to listen to them all now that winter is around.

Exciting, funny and perfectly told!

Unsurprisingly, the narrator went above and beyond in bringing this great series to life. Each character was voiced distinctly and very much close to how I imagined them to sound like. I loved it all and hope that the 5th book 'Haunted' will finally be recorded by Johanna as I am having withdrawals!

Great youth novel from the 90's

It brings me back to the decade of Ghost whisperer and high school in the mid nineties. Great theme. Good characters. Who doesn't love a fun ghost story? Not intensely scary but that's good with kids listening in. I love reading this series over the October season along with some good classics.

Great Series

I've loved this book for many many moons. I used to borrow them from the library as often as I could. The story is fantastic, but the performance isn't great. Nothing like how Suze should sound, she sounds southern not from New York and she has a weird 1930's trans Atlantic vibe. Its sadly really distracting, and the cadence is off so many times, she puts the emphasis on the wrong words. Usually I can look past a poor performance, but not this time unfortunately. I'll probably just have to borrow them from the library again like when I was in high school to experience this series again. I'll be returning this one.

Amazing

Most beautiful book yet. can't wait to listen to the next one. I Loved it.

I've always loved these books!

So glad the narrator was well read for this! These books have been a favorite of mine since HS and I'm so happy to get back into them through audiobooks!

Young adult? Only because it's not dirty

I gave this book a try because I like the paranormal genre, and honestly, because it was on sale for $4.95. I will give new authors a try for that price, and this book was a very good choice. The main characters were teenagers, but the writing was in no way juvenile. The book followed the paranormal romance/mystery genre pretty closely with the only difference being that it wasn't dirty. I guess that's what made it young adult, but it in no way effected the storyline. I really enjoyed it, and will probably try another book in this series.

A quick and easy listen.

This will always be a fun go-to from my childhood. It remains fun each time I listen to it. The story is cheesy and expected, but is executed well. Johanna Parker's voice is easy to listen to, making this a great listen for relaxing at home or entertaining at work.

Entertaining Listen

Short but sweet (and a little creepy too). The book had a serious Buffy thing going about it (not that I'm complaining), Buffy with ghosts.
