The Host by Stephenie Meyer

Melanie Stryder refuses to let her entire being be taken over by an alien. Our earth has been invaded by "souls"-- silver beings able to enter and take over a "host". Melanie was part of a resistance against these invaders, one of the hand full of true humans left.

The world, overrun by this unseen enemy becomes a brutal place. True humans must steal and hide so not to be discovered and implanted with a soul. The problem is, the only way you can tell, for sure, someone is not a soul is to see if their eyes are reflective.

The soul implanted in Melanie is called the Wanderer. She had been to nine planets throughout the universe, all taken over by the souls, but had never experienced the color in such definition as through a humans eyes.

Melanie puts up a wall protecting her memories from the Wanderer so she can not tell anyone of the people or location for the resistance. Instead she fills the Wanderer's mind with pictures of her brother and Jared, the man she loved.

This was a very interesting book. It's definitely not a light read but if you are a fan of science fiction or Twilight you will love this book.

Twilight Series, Stephenie Meyer

Twilight, which is a book many people have read, is filled with suspense and romance. After Twilight comes New Moon, in my opinion a severe disappointment after Twilight, which you shouldn't read if, at that moment, you want to feel happy. Eclipse is better than New Moon but not as good as Twilight. Breaking Dawn is by far the best.

Stephenie Meyer is also the author of The Host.
