The Host

The Host is by Stephanie Meyer. She is also the author of the Twilight series. The Host is a VERY different book from the Twilight books, it doesn't have vampires, but it DOES have love and romance, and two people who can't be together fall in love. The host is about "souls" who choose a planet, and recieve a host, or body, to live in. Once the Host dies, souls recieve a new host or, like Wanderer, move on to a new planet. Wanderer's host, Melanie, refuses to give up full control of her mind. What starts out as a rivalry, becomes a good and close friendship. Melanie leads Wanderer to the safe house here crazy uncle Jeb created, and they discover something much different form what they expected. This book is 619 pages long, but don't let that scare you.
