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.

"A LOT better than Twilight"

"I'm not going to lie the first time I read this book I didnt really like it. But something kept nagging at be to read it again. There is so much detail and the book is so unique and unlike anything I have read in syfy. I'm in love with it and have read it since multiple time. I just love the resentment and friendship between the main characters. I can't get over the one of a kind aspect of the alien species and how they have plains for the worlds the consume. Just leave it to Stephanie Meyer to flip our expectations of a subject and make it one of a kind and perfect. Absolutely one of my favorite reads. I laugh and cry and marvel everytime I read it."
