“Meyer has, like one of her vampires, turned into something rare and more than merely human: a literary phenomenon….The way she manages the reader’s curiosity, maintaining tension and controlling the flow of information, is simply virtuosic….People do not want to just read Meyer’s books; they want to climb inside them and live there.”―Lev Grossman, Time

“An epic story of love, family, and loyalty. . . . The Host is The X-Files meets Days of Our Lives.”―Carol Memmott, USA Today

“Meyer is more interested in relationships than in flashy genre conventions. . . . Her affirmative life lesson is disarming.”―Jeff Giles, Entertainment Weekly

Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of human hosts while leaving their bodies intact.

Featuring one of the most unusual love triangles in literature, THE HOST
