The Host
by Stephenie Meyer

Last fall I fell in love with Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Series. It was after that love affair, while surfing her website that I was introduced to The Host. Her website posted the first chapter of her new book and I read it and knew I wouldn't like this book. She may be able to trick me into liking vampires BUT there was NO way I would fall in love with aliens. Nope. I was pretty sure that not even Stephanie Meyer could make me go that far.
Well I am happy to admit I was wrong. I do love aliens, Soul's in Meyers world. I love their kindness and love for peace. I found myself rooting for the enemy. Meyer is not only creative but a GIFTED storyteller who creates characters you can help but love.

The Host


So I read all day and into last night and I finished the host and...it was FANTASTIC! I really, really liked it! It was unlike any books I have read. The story narrator/heroine is kind of the bad guy (she's a body snatching alien). But she is also a really great character so you find yourself rooting for her and against her at the same time. I just kept thinking, what in the world is going to happen? and that made it a real page turner. Some really good romance and serious suspense. So so so good. A must read!
