The Host, Stephenie Meyer - Blog Tour

Greetings!

It is my turn at A Circle of Books to Host The Host. Thank you Miriam from Hachette Book Group for providing me the review book, tour materials, and organizing this fantastic tour.

Today's Tour will include:

  1. Book Information
  2. Author Information and Web-site.
  3. A Giveaway! (I have three copies)
***My review will post separately tomorrow.

Please visit A Journey of Books Sunday, June 14th for the next stop on the Tour
and
Love Vampires on Monday June 15th for another stop.

Book Description:
The author of the Twilight series of # 1 bestsellers delivers her brilliant first novel for adults: a gripping story of love and betrayal in a future with the fate of humanity at stake.

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

Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, 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.

Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts 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 yearns for a man she's never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.

Featuring what may be the first love triangle involving only two bodies, THE HOST is a riveting and unforgettable novel that will bring a vast new readership to one of the most compelling writers of our time.
