Very few people haven’t heard of author Stephenie Meyer and her wildly popular Twilight books. This four book series details the lives of vampires, werewolves and mere humans in a cleverly spun tale. The books have since been made into extremely popular movies and have attracted a whole new set of fans. But Ms. Meyer has written another book about other worldly creatures, and they aren’t vampires. No, her other book is about aliens, but they are just as intriguing as the Cullen’s!

Stephenie Meyer started out writing her tale of vampires living among humans with the goal to pay off her family’s van. Who knew that a quest to make ,000 would mushroom into an entire phenomenon! Ms. Meyer’s vampire story is well written and hard to put down. She has created cultures that really don’t exist, but after reading the book you want to believe they do. The same holds true for her book, The Host. Once again she creates a culture and a setting that is so completely believable you wonder if it is really going on around you!

While The Host has not received the incredible press attention that the Twilight books have, it is just as well written and intriguing as they are. In this book, Ms. Meyer draws the reader into a world where aliens are taking over the human race. However, they aren’t scary, creepy looking aliens like you would imagine. Instead they are ‘souls’ who take over the barbaric human bodies and live among us.

The goal of these alien souls is to leave each planet they conquer a more peaceful place than it was when they arrived. Part of the process is assimilating the role of humans as other members of their race find more human bodies to host the souls. Of course this means killing the human to take possession of their body, but the souls see this as a necessity. As the aliens begin to take over, life becomes more peaceful and calm.

Sounds great right? Well, maybe if you are around to enjoy it! However, the goal of the aliens is to get rid of all the humans. As a result there are people hiding out and trying to survive. That is where the story begins. A human named Melanie is trying to survive when she is taken. An alien soul named Wanderer is implanted in Melanie’s body. But this is where things don’t go as planned. Melanie’s mind is still active and aware.

This story takes you through life with the alien Wanderer trying to come to terms with sharing her host body with its previous occupant. Wanderer has never questioned her role as a soul, but now she is starting to doubt the mission as she feels the human emotions that Melanie shares with her.

Once again Stephenie Meyer has written a book that you will not be able to put down. Her style of writing is so intricate and detailed you will find yourself running through the desert along with the characters. With this book, Stephanie has shown that she is capable of writing about more than vampires. Yet again, she has created a world that is complete fiction but it feels so real.
