"Looks like I'm not the only one who's gone native."
So, yeah. Two Meyer books in a month, I know. But unlike the ups and downs the Twilight Saga had, The Host was a book I pretty much fell in love with the moment I picked it up. What happens when we really aren't alone in the universe, and aliens literally take over our bodies? What if some memories, some people, refuse to fade away? This is what we deal with throughout the book, right along with humanity, the universe, and of course love, but it's even better because technically the characters falling in love don't really see one another ... at least, not both of them.
Honestly it's hard to make an accurate description. You should just read the book!
Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of human hosts while leaving their bodies intact. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, didn't expect to find its former tenant refusing to relinquish possession of her mind. As Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of Jared, a human who still lives in hiding, Wanderer begins to yearn for a man she's never met. Reluctant allies, Wanderer and Melanie set off to search for the man they both love ...
