The Host by Stephenie Meyer
Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a
species that take over the minds of their human hosts while leaving
their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed. Wanderer, the
invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, knew about the
challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the too
vivid memories.
But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect:
the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her
mind. Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of the man Melanie
loves-Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate
herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never
met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they
set off to search for the man they both love.
Featuring what may be the
first love triangle involving only two bodies, THE HOST is a riveting
and unforgettable novel that will bring a vast new readership to one of
the most compelling writers of our time.
