Stephenie Meyer's first adult novel now in PB. Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that takes over the minds of their human hosts while leaving their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed. Wanderer, the invading 'soul' who has been given Melanie's body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human, but there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind. With a love story to rival Bella and Edward, THE HOST will be loved by Meyer fans around the world!
