I did not read them, but here's a good review I found on Amazon:
"From School biblioteca Journal
Grade 7-10–Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries, turns her attention, in the style of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, to the paranormal and the unknown. In this first book in the series (HarperCollins, pap. 2004), we are introduced to 16-year-old Susannah Simon, a black-wearing, latte-drinking, New York native, transplanted to Carmel-by-the-Sea, California and Mission High School after her mother remarries. Susannah has the powers of a mediator, a conductor of troubled ghosts who return to complete unfinished business and who need to be escorted back to where they came from. Susannah is soon in the thick of events. She encounters a teenage ghost who committed suicide and now torments her ex-boyfriend, a boy from the 19th century, and matches wits with another mediator (the school principal, Father Dominic). Suze also must deal with other teen dilemmas such as clothes and a new step-father and step-brothers. Cabot perfectly captures teenage angst and adventure with her ironic, yet sensitive and evocative writing. Actress Johanna Parker accurately conveys the emotions of the characters. With its unique blend of sassiness, adventure, and heart, this título would make an excellent addition to teen collections in school and public libraries.–Larry Cooperman, Seminole High School, Sanford, FL - Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Hope it will be helpful!
