However, the new host is unlike any body she has ever inhabited before. Wanderer is an older soul, she has lived in seven worlds before choosing Earth as her new home, and being inserted into her new host. Not to say that the alien parasites are inherently evil, or soulless body snatchers–they are a peaceful race that years for only one thing: experience. The souls move from planet to planet, colonizing, inserting themselves into different creatures, to experience and live their lives in stolen bodies. She is a soul–an alien creature that attaches to a host body, and lives out the host’s natural life. Wanderer is something of a celebrity amongst her kind.
Meyer’s Twilight series, and could not wait for her first forray into adult fiction. Why did I read the book: I am a huge fan of Ms.
As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.įeaturing 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. Unable to separate herself from her body’s desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she’s never met. Melanie fills Wanderer’s thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves-Jared, a human who still lives in hiding.
But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn’t expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind. 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. 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. The author of the Twilight series of # 1 bestsellers delivers her brilliant first novel for adults: a gripping story of love and betrayal in a future with the fate of humanity at stake.
