Suze at first is annoyed with the living arrangements and tells Jesse (he told her his name after she called him 'amigo') to move on or find some other house to haunt, because now she is living there.

She describes him as an exceedingly hot ghost who happens to be already living in their house, and he doesn't seem to need her help. When Suze tries to get settled into her new room, she finds a ghost sitting on her window seat. But she has hardly settled in when her skills are put to the test. Suze feels that now that she is in California and she can start fresh, with trips to the mall instead of the cemetery and surfing instead of tending to lost souls. She gets three stepbrothers in the deal, whom she nicknames Sleepy (a senior), Dopey (a sophomore like Suze), and Doc (12, and, according to Suze, going on 40, as he knows more than an encyclopedia), but to the rest of the world they're Jake, Brad, and David. At the beginning of the story Suze moves from New York to Carmel, California, because her mom remarries to Andy Ackerman after Suze's father dies ten years prior. And it isn't easy - not all ghosts want to be guided. Which means she spends a lot of time directing the unhappy dead into the afterlife. There's a ghost with revenge on her mind. Which is a relief, because Suze has just moved to sunny California and plans to start fresh, with trips to the mall instead of the cemetery, and surfing instead of spectral visitations.īut the very first day at her new school, Suze realizes it's not that easy. But Jesse, the hot ghost haunting her bedroom, doesn't seem to need her help. And they won't leave her alone until she helps them resolve their unfinished business with the living. Suze is a mediator - a liaison between the living and the dead. There's a hot guy in Susannah Simon's bedroom.
