Remember Me Books in Order

The Remember Me series begins with Shari Cooper at the worst possible moment: she is dead, but she has not left the people or problems of her old life behind. Her death appears to be a suicide, yet Shari knows it was murder. As a ghost, she stays close to her family and friends while trying to understand what happened to her.

That gives the first book the shape of a murder mystery, but it is also a story about grief. Shari sees how her death changes the people she cared about, including her brother, Jim, and Peter, a boy connected to her in ways she did not fully understand while alive. The living cannot always see her, and that makes every attempt to help feel urgent.

Death is not the end here.

Pike builds the series around an afterlife with its own rules, dangers, and possibilities. Ghosts can be confused, lonely, protective, or trapped by the choices they made in life. Shari's journey brings her into contact with ideas about reincarnation, love that lasts beyond one lifetime, and the question of whether a person can ever truly get a second chance.

In The Return, Shari is offered exactly that chance. She comes back to Earth in another teenager's body, but without clear memories of being Shari or of the life she left behind. The new situation creates a different kind of suspense. She is alive again, yet vulnerable, and people who know about returning spirits have reasons to fear her.

The final book, The Last Story, follows the consequences of Shari's return and keeps the focus on the people still drawn into her unusual life. The series grows bigger than the mystery that starts it, but its emotional center remains simple: Shari wants to protect the people she loves and find a way to understand her own place in the world.

These are supernatural mysteries with a strong romantic streak. The books move between school life, family trouble, spiritual questions, and sudden danger, so they work best in order. Start with Remember Me, then continue straight through The Return and The Last Story.
