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.

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.

Amazing story
This book does not get the credit it deserves. An amazing story with lots of action, science fiction and romance.

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.

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.

Great book!
I’ve read this before and loved the story. The concept is so neat! The narrator was not very good though, so that was disappointing, but I got through it because I knew the story was good!
