The
Host-
A
species of altruistic parasites has peacefully
assumed control of the minds and bodies of most
humans, but feisty Melanie Stryder won't surrender
her mind to the alien soul called Wanderer.
Overwhelmed by Melanie's memories of fellow
resistor Jared, Wanderer yields to her body's
longing and sets off into the desert to find him.
Likely the first love triangle involving just two
bodies, it's unabashedly romantic, and the
characters (human and alien) genuinely
endearing.
