The Host


The Host
by Stephenie Meyer
.
Aliens have invaded Earth and the humans lost. Years after the successful invasion, a group of rebel humans who did not succumb to the initial assault are in hiding in the Arizona desert. Wanderer, an alien who was recently implanted in one of those humans (who was captured during a failed raid to find other free humans) becomes involved in the plight of those same humans when her host body's soul refuses to leave.
.
Even when captured and invaded by Wanderer, Melanie will not leave her body. She will do almost anything to stay and try to protect both her brother, Jamie, and her soulmate, Jared. These two men dominate her thoughts, which eventually means that they dominate Wanderer's thoughts, as well.
.
Together, they search out the humans in hiding, only to find themselves in danger from those same humans who suspect that Wanderer is a spy sent to destroy them all. Melanie and Wanderer must work together to help the very humans who want to kill them, while trying to gain their trust. They must also fight the jealousy that's caused when both Melanie and Wanderer find themselves in love with Jared.
.
Can they find a way to save themselves, the humans, and the aliens without sacrificing themselves in the process?
.
Fans of the Twilight series, by Stephenie Meyer, will find The Host to be both different and familiar.
