The Host

What if everything was taken from you in the blink of an eye? I just finished a really great book and I thought I would share. I had a few friends recommend this book called The Host. Interestingly enough the author is Stephanie Meyer, the author of the Twilight Series. And yes, I read all of the Twilight books and absolutely loved them. Now the movies on the other hand... haha Anyways. I decided I would give this new book a chance.

The Host is an epic story in which an alien race comes and takes over Earth and all its inhabitants. These aliens called "Souls" have come to Earth to inhabit the bodies of humans and erase their memory. Almost all the humans on Earth have been inhabited by these "Souls". Melanie Stryder is one of the remaining humans. She eventually gets caught by Seekers, the Souls hunting down the few remaining humans. A soul named Wanderer then gets implanted into Melanie. The interesting thing is that Melanie keeps fighting and her presence is very much alive, even with the Soul inhabiting her body. The book is about Melanie fighting to break free, and the relationship that develops between her and the Soul inhabiting her body.


It ended up being a really great book! I definitely recommend it. Also, it is going to be a movie this March. I'm already really looking forward to seeing it :) Check out the trailer!

Until next time,

XOXOXO
