π For me, βThe Hostβ by Stephenie Meyer was so much better than what Iβd expected!
π It is a sci-fi romance novel set in a dystopian world which has been invaded by an alien race of parasitic βsoulsβ that occupy the bodies of humans and erase their memories.
π After Earth was attacked by this alien race, most humans fell prey to the souls that occupied their body and mind, while very few managed to go in hiding.
π When such a soul invades Melanieβs body, it tries to coerce information from her, but Melanie must fight back. She must prevent the soul from gaining control of her mind and finding information of where her loved ones are hidden, to protect them.
π This turmoil between Melanie and the soul that was trying to dominate her brain, the way the soul tries to dig up her memories and Melanie tries to fight it by preventing herself from thinking about her loved onesβ¦. I probably canβt even explain it. It was just something that was so incredibly unique to read! I have seen this kind of concept in sci-fi movies, but translating that into a book, depicting that sort of internal strife and conflict in writingβ¦ itβs nothing like Iβve ever read before!
π The plot might not be entirely original, but the execution π. I have absolutely no idea why this book isnβt popular. It is honestly one of the rarest of the rare books Iβve read. Although written by Stephenie Meyer, I couldnβt see any hint of βTwilightβ in this book. Itβs hard to believe itβs been written by the same author. Iβve been anticipating writing the review of this because I donβt think I can stress it enough that this book is indeed a masterpiece and totally worthy of your attention.
