The Host— Stephenie Meyer

An invisible enemy plagues our world. Humans have become hosts to an invasive species that takes over their minds, leaving their bodies intact so they can continue with seemingly normal lives. The human race has almost completely succumbed. The capture of Melanie, one of the few people who remains "in the wild," seems to be the end. Wanderer, the invading soul in Melanie's body, received all sorts of warnings about what it means to inhabit a human body: the overwhelming emotions, the exuberance of the senses, the persistence of memories. There's only one unexpected problem: a host who refuses to vacate her old body and lose control of her mind. Wanderer investigates Melanie's thoughts to discover where human resistance is hiding. Instead, Melanie floods Wanderer with the vision of the man she loves: Jared, a human fugitive. Soon Wanderer, unable to distance herself from her body's desires, will be divided between fulfilling the task entrusted to her (finding Jared) and her true feelings. Forced by circumstances, Wanderer and Melanie will become allies in the dangerous search for the man they love. Stephenie Meyer is one of the most important writers today. On this occasion, she presents a captivating and unforgettable novel about the persistence of love and the true essence of human beings.
