The Host By Stephenie Meyer

The Host  (The Host #1)

By Stephenie Meyer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“I held you in my hand, Wanderer. And you were so beautiful.” -Ian

Wow!!What a stupendous book by an incredible author...

Well I guess you already read the blurb which is very important as it holds the main story of the book.Here are the most signigicant part:

Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact and continue their lives apparently unchanged. Most of humanity has succumbed.

It's an amazing book.The author has created a whole new world which everyone lives in peace with each other but with what cost?Humans no longer exist.

Melanie belongs to the resistance.In other words she is one of the many humans that believe that these aliens have invaded our world and stole our lives.When Melanie gets caught by the Seekers,the healers decide it would be better if they gave her body in a soul that is capable of unlocking Melanie's memories.So they put Wanderer in her.But not everything goes as plant.Although Wanda can see some of Melanie's memories she can also hear her voice.Not good.Initially she is shocked by this fact but as time goes by they both become accustomed to each other.But Melanie wants both her body and family back.So when an extraordinary Seeker keeps following her,Melanie and Wanda know what to do.They try to find her brother and love of her life,Jamie and Jared.Nevertheless,none of them know what to expect of such a journey and surely what they find is beyond what they were looking for.

The Host was beyond anything I was prepared to read.It had so much emotion in every and each page.Especially the second half of the book.There was a variety of characters,each with its own personality,most important of whom were:Jamie,Melanie's brother,Jared,Melanie's boyfriend,Jeb,Mel's uncle,Ian ad Kail,two brothers that both tried to kill Wanda but as the story evolves they reconsider,The doctor,a real doctor which tales care of them but can't really do much considering the circumstances.There were so many characters and all were unique.I thoroughly enjoyed reading about them.

The Host is a must book.I definitely recommend it to anyone interested in this kind of books.It was a new experience for me as well,as it's the first time that I read such a book.I would like to read more though.There are some that say that Stephenie Meyer will write two more books for the series but nothing's sure.Here is the potential title of the second and third book:The Soul and The Seeker.

Blurb:

Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact and continue their lives apparently unchanged. Most of humanity has succumbed.

When Melanie, one of the few remaining "wild" humans, is captured, she is certain it is her end. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, was warned 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.

Wanderer probes Melanie's thoughts, hoping to discover the whereabouts of the remaining human resistance. Instead, Melanie fills Wanderer's mind with visions of the man Melanie loves - Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer begins to yearn for a man she has been tasked with exposing. When outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off on a dangerous and uncertain search for the man they both love.

Spirit Bound By Christine Freehan

Spirit Bound  (Sisters of the Heart, #2)

By Christine Feehan

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Spirit Bound is an amazing addition to the Sea Haven. series.This book tells the story of Judith and Lev's older brother Stefan.Both Judith and Stefan are tortured souls with a tormented past.They come together at the most sensitive time.Well,not exactly but something like that.

Stefan is in a new mission,one that includes tricking Judith into believing that he is someone else,someone he would like to be,someone who could freely love and live but the truth is that non of this is true.Not for Stefan.Dtefan believes that he's uncrupulous,a man without emotions and loyalty but when he's with Judith everything is different.He feels.Everything.

On the other hand,Judith is amiable,gentle,polite,kind and full of life.Despite her hunted past she survives and leads a happy but yet lacking life.Being with Thomas,aka Stefan,fulfills her.They desire the same things,want and need the same things.

In this book we also get to see the bond between the sisters and how well they communicate with each other.We also see how Lev and Rikki's realationship has progressed and how protective they are with each other.

It's a stupendous book that explores the many angles of love and pain and the tiny line that seperates them.In order to read it you should previously read Water Bound so that you understand what's going on.I absolutely recommend this book and I can't wait to read the following book in the series

Blurb:

Lethal undercover agent Stefan Prakenskii knew a thousand ways to kills a man—and twice as many ways to pleasure a woman. That’s what made him look forward to his new mission: arrive in the coastal town of Sea Haven and insinuate himself in the life of an elusive beauty who had mysterious ties to his past, and a link to a dangerously seductive, and equally elusive master criminal who wanted only one thing: to possess her.

Judith Henderson was an artist on the rise—an ethereal, and haunted woman whose own picture-perfect beauty stirred the souls of two men who have made her their obsession. For years she has been waiting for someone to come and unlock the passion and fire within her—waiting for the right man to surrender it to. But only one man can survive her secrets, and the shadow she has cast over both their lives.
