Reunion Plot Summary
Covers the whole plot, including the ending.
The Haunted Classroom
Susannah Simon, a high school junior and a 'mediator' who sees and talks to ghosts, is new to Carmel, California. On her first day at school, she immediately senses a strong ghost presence. She soon meets four teenage ghosts—Maria, Janelle, Kelly, and Penny—who call themselves the RLS Angels, after their school, Robert Louis Stevenson High. They focus intensely on a living student, Michael Meducci, blaming him for their deaths in a car accident. The Angels tell Suze they plan to get revenge on Michael, and Suze, despite not wanting to get involved in other ghosts' unfinished business, feels compelled to protect him.
Initial Attacks and Growing Concern
The RLS Angels quickly try to harm Michael. Their first attacks are subtle but dangerous, like making objects fall or creating tripping hazards. Suze intervenes repeatedly, using her abilities to block their attempts or warn Michael, who does not know about the ghost threats. During these interventions, Suze learns more about the Angels' personalities and their collective sadness and anger. She also starts to feel a connection to their sense of injustice, even as she tries to understand their actions and stay detached, which becomes harder.
Michael's Past and the Accident
Needing to understand the Angels' pursuit of Michael, Suze starts investigating the car accident that killed them three years earlier. She learns that Michael Meducci was indeed the driver that night. Public records and local rumors describe a tragic drunk driving accident, with Michael as the only survivor. The Angels tell Suze their version of events, highlighting Michael's reckless driving and their belief that he caused their deaths. Suze, however, finds inconsistencies in their story, especially regarding Michael's reaction and trauma.
Jesse's Introduction and Skepticism
While dealing with her new school and the ghost drama, Suze meets Jesse, a handsome and mysterious student who also sees ghosts. Jesse is a more experienced mediator and gives Suze advice, though his approach is often cynical. He first dismisses the RLS Angels' claims, suggesting ghosts often twist the truth or hold grudges based on incomplete information. His skepticism challenges Suze's initial acceptance of the Angels' story and encourages her to look beyond appearances, pushing her to investigate the accident's true events.
Escalating Threats and Michael's Vulnerability
As Suze continues her investigation, the RLS Angels grow impatient. Their attempts on Michael's life become more aggressive. They try to push him down stairs, cause him to swerve while driving, and even try to drown him. Suze is constantly alert, physically putting herself between Michael and the unseen forces. These interventions wear her down, physically and emotionally. Michael, unaware of the true nature of his near-misses, becomes more isolated and withdrawn, thinking he is having extreme bad luck or paranoia.
Uncovering the Truth About the Accident
Through her own detective work, talks with the Angels, and subtle clues from Michael, Suze uncovers a key piece of information. She learns that Michael was not driving drunk and that someone else tampered with his car. The Angels themselves, in their clouded memories and anger, had missed or misunderstood important details. Suze realizes the accident was not Michael's fault, but a deliberate act of sabotage. This changes her view completely, making the Angels' pursuit of Michael a tragic misunderstanding instead of justified revenge.
The Real Culprit Revealed: Tad Beaumont
Following the car sabotage trail, Suze's investigation leads her to Tad Beaumont, a seemingly charming but manipulative student. Tad had a history with one of the Angels, Maria, and strongly disliked Michael. Suze discovers that Tad, in a fit of jealousy and anger, tampered with Michael's car that night, intending to harm Michael but accidentally causing the deaths of all four girls. This discovery shocks Suze and the Angels, who now realize they have been targeting the wrong person for years.
Confronting Tad and Convincing the Angels
With the truth, Suze confronts Tad Beaumont. He first denies everything, but Suze's firm belief and the spectral presence of the Angels, now aware of his betrayal, start to break his facade. Suze also has the hard task of convincing the RLS Angels that Michael is innocent and Tad is their real killer. This is a difficult conversation, as their grief and anger have been aimed at Michael for so long. However, the clear evidence Suze presents, along with their own fragmented memories, eventually sways them, and their focus shifts to Tad.
The Angels' Revenge and Tad's Fate
With their anger redirected and purpose clear, the RLS Angels, led by Maria's fierce determination, get their revenge on Tad Beaumont. They haunt him constantly, causing terrifying experiences that mimic the fear and chaos of their own deaths. The Angels do not physically kill him, but they drive him to his limit, revealing his guilt and forcing him to confess or break down. Ultimately, Tad faces justice, either through his confession or the strong evidence Suze gathered, finally bringing peace to the Angels.
Aftermath and Lingering Connections
With Tad Beaumont exposed and facing consequences, the RLS Angels finally find peace. Their unfinished business is resolved, and they can move on. Suze, tired but relieved, thinks about the ordeal. Michael Meducci, though still unaware of the ghost intervention, slowly starts to recover from his years of trauma and isolation, sensing a change in his luck. Suze and Michael share a moment of quiet understanding, a bond formed through the unspoken dangers they faced. Suze, however, continues her life as a mediator, always connected to the ghost world.
Principal Figures
Susannah 'Suze' Simon
Protagonist
A teenage mediator who can see and interact with ghosts.
Suze is a strong-willed, sarcastic, and compassionate high school junior who has the unique ability to see and communicate with ghosts. This gift, which she calls 'mediating,' often puts her in difficult and dangerous situations. Despite her desire for a normal life, she feels a strong sense of responsibility to help the spirits she encounters, even when it puts her at risk. She is intelligent and perceptive, able to piece together clues from both the living and the dead to uncover the truth.
Relationships: Michael Meducci (Initially a target of ghosts she protects, later a person she empathizes with and saves.); Jesse (Fellow mediator and potential romantic interest, offers cynical advice and support.); RLS Angels (Ghosts she initially tries to placate, then helps to find justice.)
Michael Meducci
Supporting
The living target of the RLS Angels' ghostly revenge.
Michael is a quiet, withdrawn, and seemingly unlucky high school student. He was the sole survivor of the car accident that killed the RLS Angels three years prior, and has lived under a cloud of guilt and suspicion ever since. He is unaware of the ghostly forces targeting him, attributing his near-death experiences to extreme bad luck. He's initially portrayed as sullen, but beneath his withdrawn exterior is a traumatized young man struggling to cope with a horrific past he doesn't fully understand.
Relationships: Susannah Simon (His unwitting protector and the catalyst for uncovering the truth about his past.); RLS Angels (The ghosts who believe he is responsible for their deaths, though he is unaware of their presence.)
Maria
Supporting
The fiery and determined leader of the RLS Angels.
Maria is the most vocal and aggressive of the RLS Angels. She holds the deepest grudge against Michael Meducci and is the driving force behind their attempts at revenge. Her strong personality and unwavering conviction in Michael's guilt make her a formidable spectral presence. She is fiercely protective of her fellow Angels and embodies their collective anger and desire for justice, even if misguided. Her backstory reveals a connection to Tad Beaumont.
Relationships: RLS Angels (Their leader and motivator in their quest for revenge.); Susannah Simon (Initially confrontational, later trusts Suze to help them.); Tad Beaumont (Her former boyfriend and eventual killer.)
Jesse
Supporting
A fellow mediator with a cynical outlook on the ghostly world.
Jesse is a charming, somewhat mysterious, and experienced mediator who attends the same school as Suze. He has a more detached and cynical view of ghosts and their unfinished business, often advising Suze to avoid getting too involved. Despite his aloof demeanor, he provides valuable insights and occasionally assists Suze with her ghostly encounters. He possesses a dark sense of humor and a pragmatic approach to the supernatural, which both frustrates and intrigues Suze.
Relationships: Susannah Simon (Fellow mediator, friend, and potential love interest; provides advice and occasional assistance.)
Tad Beaumont
Antagonist
The charming student responsible for the RLS Angels' deaths.
Tad Beaumont initially appears as a charismatic and popular student, well-liked by his peers. However, beneath this facade lies a manipulative and vengeful individual. He harbored a deep-seated jealousy and anger towards Michael Meducci, stemming from a past rivalry involving Maria. His actions are driven by a desire for revenge and control, leading him to commit a heinous act of sabotage that resulted in the deaths of the RLS Angels. He is a master of deception, able to hide his true nature for years.
Relationships: RLS Angels (The victims of his sabotage, particularly Maria.); Michael Meducci (His intended victim and rival.); Susannah Simon (His unwitting investigator and eventual accuser.)
Janelle, Kelly, and Penny
Supporting
The other three RLS Angels, Maria's companions in ghostly revenge.
Janelle, Kelly, and Penny are the other three ghostly teenagers who died in the car accident with Maria. While Maria is the most vocal, these three support her in their collective quest for revenge against Michael. Janelle is often depicted as more quiet and thoughtful, Kelly as more emotional and prone to fits of despair, and Penny as the most easily influenced but also fiercely loyal. They represent the collective grief and anger of the accident victims, bound together by their shared tragedy and desire for justice.
Relationships: Maria (Their leader and friend.); Susannah Simon (The living mediator they communicate with to achieve their goals.)
Themes & Insights
Justice and Vengeance
This theme looks at the difference between justice and vengeance, especially in the RLS Angels' actions. At first, the Angels want revenge on Michael, thinking he killed them. Suze's job is to lead them to real justice by finding the actual killer. This theme explores how sadness and anger can blind people to the truth, and how true justice needs a full understanding of facts, not emotional payback. The Angels' journey from seeking revenge to getting justice for their deaths is a main part of the story, shown when Suze convinces them that Tad Beaumont is the real villain, redirecting their ghostly anger.
“They want justice. But they think justice is revenge. And revenge isn't always fair.”
The Weight of Unfinished Business
This theme explores how unresolved issues tie spirits to the living world and the psychological toll it takes on them. The RLS Angels are stuck in anger and relive their last moments because their deaths were not avenged. Their inability to move on comes directly from the injustice they suffered. Suze's role as a mediator is to help these ghosts find closure, allowing them to finally transition. The Angels' constant presence, their attempts at revenge, and their inability to find peace until the truth is revealed all highlight the impact of unfinished business.
“Some ghosts just don't know when to quit. Or maybe they can't. Not until whatever's holding them here is done.”
Perception vs. Reality
The novel often plays with the idea that what seems true is not always the whole story. The story begins with the RLS Angels believing Michael Meducci caused their deaths, a view supported by local rumors and Michael's own guilt. Suze's investigation slowly uncovers layers of this belief, showing that the accident was not an accident at all, and that Michael was a victim, not the culprit. This theme is important in showing how easily people can misjudge others and how deep-seated assumptions can hide the real situation, for both the living and the dead.
“The dead aren't always right, Suze. Sometimes they're just as confused as the living, maybe more so.”
Empathy and Responsibility
Suze's character shows empathy and the responsibility that comes with special abilities. Despite not wanting to get involved in the RLS Angels' affairs, her natural empathy for both the vengeful ghosts and their living target, Michael, makes her act. She feels a duty to protect Michael and help the Angels find the truth, even though it puts her in danger. This theme highlights the challenges and rewards of caring for others, and how understanding different viewpoints can lead to good, even when dealing with the supernatural.
“It wasn't my fight. But then, when did that ever stop me?”
Plot Devices & Literary Techniques
The Mediator's Sight
The supernatural ability to see and interact with ghosts.
This is the primary plot device, defining Suze's character and driving the entire narrative. Her ability to see, hear, and even physically interact with ghosts allows her to be the only one who can understand the RLS Angels' plight and intervene in their attempts on Michael's life. It sets her apart from ordinary humans and places her in a unique position to solve the mystery. Without this ability, the ghosts would remain unseen, and their revenge plot would unfold unchecked, leading to a very different outcome.
Unreliable Narrators (Ghosts)
Ghosts providing information that is incomplete or emotionally skewed.
The RLS Angels act as unreliable narrators for the initial understanding of the car accident. Their memories are clouded by trauma, anger, and a sense of betrayal, leading them to firmly believe Michael Meducci is their killer. This device creates the central mystery, as Suze must sift through their emotionally charged accounts and compare them with objective facts. It forces Suze, and the reader, to question initial assumptions and delve deeper to uncover the true sequence of events, highlighting how even the deceased can be mistaken or biased.
The Red Herring
Michael Meducci is initially presented as the clear villain.
Michael Meducci serves as a significant red herring in the plot. The RLS Angels' unwavering belief in his guilt, coupled with his own withdrawn and haunted demeanor, strongly suggests he is responsible for their deaths. This misdirection keeps the reader, and Suze, focused on Michael as the antagonist for a substantial portion of the story, only to reveal later that he is a victim himself. This device heightens the surprise and impact when the true killer, Tad Beaumont, is uncovered, making the resolution more satisfying.
Foreshadowing (Michael's 'Bad Luck')
Michael's near-death experiences hint at unseen forces.
Michael's frequent and increasingly dangerous 'accidents' serve as a form of foreshadowing. While he and other living characters attribute these incidents to extreme bad luck or paranoia, Suze (and the reader, once aware of her abilities) understands they are the direct result of the RLS Angels' ghostly attacks. This device builds suspense and highlights the immediate danger Michael is in, propelling Suze to act and uncover the truth before it's too late. It subtly confirms the ghostly presence even before direct interactions.

Reunion FAQ
What is the central conflict Susannah Simon faces at the beginning of 'Reunion'?
Susannah Simon, a 'mediator' who can see and interact with ghosts, is thrust into a dangerous situation when a group of four deceased teenagers, known as the RLS Angels, begin terrorizing her classmate Michael. The Angels blame Michael for their deaths in a car accident and are actively trying to kill him, forcing Suze to intervene and protect him from their spectral attacks.
Who are the RLS Angels and what is their primary motivation?
The RLS Angels are four ghostly teenagers: Maria, Brad, Heather, and Paul, who died in a horrific car crash. Their primary motivation is revenge against Michael, whom they believe was responsible for their untimely deaths, and they are relentlessly trying to drag him into the afterlife with them.
How does Susannah's ability as a mediator complicate her daily life and her efforts to help Michael?
Susannah's ability to see and communicate with ghosts isolates her from her peers, as she often appears to be talking to herself or reacting to unseen entities. When dealing with the RLS Angels, she must physically intervene in their ghostly attacks, which often looks strange or even violent to onlookers, further complicating her social interactions and making it difficult to explain her actions without revealing her secret.
What significant revelation shifts Susannah's perception of the RLS Angels' anger?
Susannah discovers that the RLS Angels' deaths were not accidental but rather the result of murder. This revelation transforms her view of their vengeful actions, as she can now empathize with their fury and desire for justice, understanding that their anger stems from a profound betrayal rather than a simple accident.
Who is the true killer of the RLS Angels, and what is their motive?
The true killer of the RLS Angels is Michael's older brother, Tad. His motive was to silence Maria, who was pregnant with his child and threatening to reveal their relationship, which would have jeopardized his future and reputation. He orchestrated the 'accident' to eliminate her and, by extension, the other passengers who were witnesses.
Were there any subtle clues foreshadowing Tad's involvement before the big reveal?
Yes, subtle clues included Tad's overly protective and sometimes aggressive behavior towards Michael, his discomfort whenever the car accident was mentioned, and his strange reactions when Susannah was investigating. His quickness to dismiss theories or redirect conversations away from the details of the crash also hinted at his guilt.
How did Susannah piece together the truth about the 'accident'?
Susannah pieced together the truth through a combination of communicating directly with the RLS Angels, who had fragmented memories and growing suspicions, and by investigating the physical evidence and witness accounts herself. She also observed discrepancies in Tad's behavior and statements, which ultimately led her to confront him with the Angels' spectral assistance.
What role does Michael play in the unfolding mystery beyond being the initial target?
Beyond being the initial target of the RLS Angels' revenge, Michael serves as a crucial emotional anchor and an unwitting pawn in his brother's cover-up. His initial guilt and confusion make him vulnerable, but his growing trust in Susannah and his own dawning realization about Tad's character become instrumental in exposing the truth.
How does Susannah's empathy for the RLS Angels evolve throughout the story?
Initially, Susannah views the RLS Angels as dangerous antagonists, driven by misguided revenge. However, as she uncovers the truth of their murder, her empathy grows, transforming her role from just a protector of Michael to an advocate for the Angels, seeking justice for their wrongful deaths. She begins to understand their rage and helps them find peace.
Discuss Michael's psychological journey from guilt to understanding.
Michael initially carries immense guilt, believing himself responsible for the accident and the Angels' deaths, leading to a state of fear and self-blame. As Susannah reveals the truth about Tad's involvement, Michael experiences a profound shift from guilt to shock, then betrayal, and finally a complex understanding of his brother's dark actions, which is crucial for his emotional healing.
How does Tad's psychological profile as the killer manifest throughout the narrative?
Tad exhibits traits of a manipulative and self-preserving individual, capable of extreme deception to protect his image and future. His actions are driven by a fear of exposure and a lack of remorse, manifesting in subtle threats, gaslighting, and a cold indifference to the suffering he caused, all masked by a veneer of normalcy and concern for his brother.
What is the psychological impact on Susannah of constantly being surrounded by the dead?
The constant presence of ghosts, particularly vengeful ones like the RLS Angels, places a significant psychological burden on Susannah. It leads to social isolation, as her experiences are incomprehensible to others, and forces her to confront intense emotions like fear, anger, and sorrow from both the living and the dead, making her world both lonely and dangerous.
Does the book suggest that revenge, even for a just cause, is always destructive, or can it lead to resolution?
The book suggests a nuanced view. While the RLS Angels' initial vengeful acts are destructive and dangerous, their desire for justice, once properly directed and understood, ultimately leads to resolution. Their spectral assistance in exposing Tad's guilt allows them to find peace, implying that justified anger, when channeled towards truth and justice, can be a catalyst for closure, rather than purely destructive.
How does the ending provide closure for both the RLS Angels and the living characters?
The ending provides closure by exposing Tad as the killer, bringing justice for the RLS Angels. Once the truth is revealed and Tad is apprehended, the Angels, particularly Maria who was the primary victim, are able to find peace and move on. For the living, Michael is freed from his false guilt, and Susannah successfully navigates a dangerous situation, reinforcing her role as a compassionate mediator and allowing her to continue her life with a sense of accomplishment.
What themes of responsibility and accountability are explored through Tad's actions and the Angels' pursuit of justice?
The book deeply explores themes of responsibility and accountability through Tad's deliberate act of murder and his subsequent attempts to evade consequences. The RLS Angels' relentless pursuit highlights the idea that even in death, victims seek justice for wrongs committed against them. It underscores that actions have profound repercussions, and true accountability is essential for ultimate peace, for both the living and the dead.
How does 'Reunion' challenge traditional perceptions of ghosts as purely terrifying entities?
'Reunion' challenges this by portraying the RLS Angels not just as terrifying, but as complex beings driven by understandable human emotions like anger, confusion, and a deep desire for justice. Their 'haunting' is a desperate cry for help and truth, making them sympathetic figures once their story is understood, rather than merely malevolent spirits.
What is the significance of the title 'Reunion' in the context of the story?
The title 'Reunion' carries multiple layers of significance. It initially refers to the RLS Angels' desire for a 'reunion' with Michael in death. More profoundly, it signifies the reunion of the truth with the past events, the reunion of the Angels' fragmented memories to form a complete picture, and ultimately, the emotional reunion of justice with the victims, allowing them to finally find peace.
