The Host by Stephenie Meyer
This afternoon, I finished reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer. The Host is the first novel Stephenie has written that isn’t part of the Twilight Saga.
Stephenie Meyer has outdone herself again. She’s a fantastic story teller and very good at character development. You can’t help loving the characters and the story. I enjoyed the story very much and it has definitely been added to my list of favorite novels. 
Earth has been taken over by souls that are symbiotic in nature and require a host body to live. They take over civilizations to make them better by creating a Utopian society.
Once a soul’s inserted into a host body, the host fades away. Earth is the first society in which opposition to an inserted soul has occurred and Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away when Wanderer’s inserted into her body.
As Melanie and Wanderer learn to live with one another, Wanderer finds herself wondering where she belongs. She’s a soul, but she starts to show compassion for the humans because of Melanie’s memories and refusal to be erased. The story explores many aspects of love and acceptance as Wanderer finds her true place in the world.
