The Host by Stephenie Meyer

While waiting to be able to see Indy 4, I spent the weekend relaxing and mostly reading. I dove into The Host by Stephenie Meyer, best selling author of the Twilight series. It's a Sci-fi novel, and her first book aimed at adults. It's Sci-fi for people who don't like sci-fi, a story of what it means to be human. I adored this book!! I stayed up until three in the morning Saturday night reading, and reached for my glasses and the book the minute I woke up. I could not put it down! Thanks to Darling Diva for introducing me to this fantastic author. The Twilight series is great, and The Host was so satisfying. It's been awhile since I had a book like this that I could. not. stop. Reading!

Here's Amazon's description: 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.
