The Host is a science fiction by Stephenie Meyer, the author of the famous Twilight series. The fiction was adapted as a major motion picture in 2013. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of human hosts while leaving their bodies intact. Melanie Stryder, a teenage girl, who has been captured by the "Wanderer", and is going to be invaded by a new soul. The invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, didn't expect to find its former tenant refusing to relinquish possession of her mind. As Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of Jared, a human who still lives in hiding, Wanderer begins to yearn for a man she's never met. Reluctant allies, Wanderer and Melanie set off to search for the man they both love. Featuring one of the most unusual love triangles in literature, THE HOST is a riveting and unforgettable novel about the persistence of love and the essence of what it means to be human.
