There was no plot in this installment. The entire book was a repetition of two things:
I love Jesse so much, but he's been avoiding me since we kissed.
Paul is scary and left me for dead, but I'm also kind of attracted to him.
Seriously, that's it. Over and over and over.

Still holds up now that I'm 23 instead of 13. I'm more sympathetic to Suze this time around, having actually met guys like Paul now and seeing how deceptive they can be - but he is still extra-creepy.
Also, CeeCee is the best. I missed her in the fourth book.

I know this one really sets up the next one and I love the original ending of the series, but I really hate Paul. I guess I've just never been into the bad boy thing and I've never fully understood why girls are. Plus i hate the way Jesse and Suze's getting together is so drawn out. that being said, I do love the fist fight Paul and Jesse have.

I swear, this series just get better and better. In this installment of Suze’s life in Carmel, California, the delectably dangerous Paul Slater reenters her life just when she thinks she will never see him again. Paul is the Devil in a hot bod—or so Suze believes as she recalls the past summer when Paul tried to kill her and make her ghostly sweetheart, Jesse, disappear forever.
Paul claims to know what, exactly, they are, why they communicate with ghosts and what else they can do. But Suze doesn’t know why he’s so intent on teaching her about their similar powers. Unless he’s lonely…? Is that why he so creepily continues to talk to her even after her many rejections of him? Is that why he kisses her the day he invites her over to his place under the pretense of learning more about mediators?
Meanwhile, Suze’s relationship with the hot ghost who haunts her room, Jesse, has been awkward and littered with silences. It seems to have been this way ever since they kissed several weeks ago. Despite the strain in their friendship as a result, Suze can’t help but fall more in love with Jesse every day, even though she knows that loving a guy who’s been already dead for 150 years won’t bode well for her future. To make matters worse, once Jesse finds out that Paul has recently transferred to Suze’s school, there could be the blowout of a lifetime, as two hot, headstrong forces collide with one another in a battle for, much to her surprise, Suze’s heart.
HAUNTED is full of fun and romance with a paranormal twist. I am a hearty proponent of the impossible romance between Suze and Jesse, but Paul definitely makes this series all the more interesting. Gotta love Meg Cabot and her wonderful characters.
