When outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off on a dangerous and uncertain search for the man they both love…ĬLASSIFICATION: While marketed as Stephenie’s ‘first novel for adults’, the violence, language, and what little sexual innuendo that can be found in “ The Host” is extremely tame and is quite suitable for teens and younger readers. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a human that she should be turning over to the Seekers. Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions and memories of the man Melanie loves- Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Wanderer knew about the challenges of living inside a human-the overwhelming emotions, the glut of senses, 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 Stryder is such a human and after she was captured, her body was given to Wanderer in hopes that the invading ‘soul’ might be able to determine knowledge of other rebels. Most of humanity has succumbed, but pockets of resistance exist and it is the Calling of the Seekers to stamp out any insubordination. PLOT SUMMARY: Earth has been invaded by a peaceful species that take over the minds of their hosts while leaving their bodies intact. “ The Host” is Stephenie’s first novel for adults. Since then, the author has released two #1 New York Times-bestselling sequels in “ New Moon” and “ Eclipse”-with the fourth volume “ Breaking Dawn” scheduled for publication August 2, 2008-while “ Twilight” has been adapted into a film ( Official Twilight the Movie Website ) that hits theatres Decemand stars Kristen Stewart ( Jumper, The Messengers, Panic Room) and Robert Pattinson ( Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire).
