Story
She used to work for the US government, but very few people ever knew that. An expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it doesn't even have a name. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning. Now she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. They've killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. They want her dead, and soon.

Story
Elena Gilbert is a high school golden girl, used to getting what she wants. And who she wants. But when the boy she's set her sights on - the handsome and haunted Stefan - isn't interested, she's confused. She could never know the real reason Stefan is struggling to resist her: Stefan is a vampire, and Elena's in danger just by being around him. What's more, Stefan's dark, dangerous vampire brother Damon has just arrived in town. And wherever Damon goes, trouble always follows.

Graceling tells the story of the vulnerable-yet-strong Katsa, who is smart and beautiful and lives in the Seven Kingdoms where selected people are born with a Grace, a special talent that can be anything at all. Katsa’s Grace is killing. As the king’s niece, she is forced to use her extreme skills as his brutal enforcer. Until the day she meets Prince Po, who is Graced with combat skills, and Katsa’s life begins to change. She never expects to become Po’s friend. She never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace—or about a terrible secret that lies hidden.

Story
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder - much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?

Story
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue - Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is - she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

Publisher's Summary
Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the too vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.
Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves - Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.
Featuring what may be the first love triangle involving only two bodies, The Host is a riveting and unforgettable novel that will bring a vast new readership to one of the most compelling writers of our time.

Unexpectedly Enjoyed!
After Twilight, I wasn't sure what to expect from Meyer but this book is really enjoyable and believable for me. It isn't too sappy but the romance is there, for sure. #Audible1

This is one of my favorites
I originally read this years ago, and fell in love with the characters. Therefore I try to read it once a year. This is very much a story that is centered on the characters, and the mind of the main character. I love seeing how every character evolves throughout the story, and I hope that someday there will be a book two.

Favourite book
Used to be my favourite book when I was younger so I decided to go back to it to see if it was still my favourite.
Still as amazing as I remember! I absolutely love this book. Its so captivating. Slow start, I'll admit. But still great.
the narrator seems a bit too...old to be reading first-person as a young 20-year-old.

Excelent performance and one of my favourite books
I had read this book before listening and Kate Reading's performance brought it to life in new ways while also being very appropriate for the characters, which are many. This book has much better writing than the Twilight saga too, which I like but is undeniably cringy at (many) times.

beautiful story.
I loved the book, the movie and now the audiobook. The characters are so we'll developed and her description of the world they live in is rich and complex. The narrators voice for the seeker is a little irritating but so is the character. Will definitely be a reread in the future.

My new favourite novel!!!!
This story fantastically depicts an Earth reality where humans are commandeered by a higher life form. Many aspects hit close to home and the truth, making it an easy stretch to contemplate this valid alternative. The story is riveting, and the basis is love. you can't go wrong with this delightfully plausible alternate... or not so alternate reality!

Was an absolute fantastic book
Watched the movie years ago and liked it this blows the movie outta the water. Now i want a stand alone sequel (same universe diffrent cast of characters) or a gender bend like she did with life and death.
