Host tells the story of two beings caught in one body. The Wanderer is a special "soul" who has come to earth to teach as part of a parasitic movement that has taken over most of earths population. Melanie Stryder is the body the Wanderer is inhabiting. She is still present and is not ready to give up her body without a fight. Through memories the Wanderer falls in love with Melanie's boyfriend and brother and the two set off to find them in the Arizona desert. When they are discovered they are held prisoner until the camp of survivors slowly starts to accept "Wanda" as part of their group.
On the five star scale
Sap Factor (****) - Holy teenage drama. There are so many references to skin burning and fire when people touch I felt like I was back in high school.
Naughty Bits (*) - Aliens and humans are killed :(
Readability (****) - 624 pages. This book is an "adult" book but reads like a juvenile novel...quickly.
Final notes (****) - Overall the story was really interesting. There was some parts that were totally unbelievable/illogical even for sci-fi and the gushy was a little over the top but the story line kept you interested.

This was so much better than the overrated Twilight.
