Summary
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.

Excellent
I felt the narrator did an outstanding job with all the characters voices. The unfamiliar inflections and tones that the narrator uses with Wanderers voice in the first part of the book, I think was intended to illustrate the fact that Wanderer was alien and not used to the language..she changes this as the book progresses. Anyway, I did not find the narrators voice irritating at all..I very much enjoyed this book and would recommend it as an easy, enjoyable and entertaining listen.

Great story! The narrator could be better
The story itself is one of my favorite books! It tackles so many deep and philosophical themes. And it really takes you through an emotional roller coaster! I recommend it to everyone! The narrator I wasn’t a big fan of, I felt it was to monotone

I am a sap
listen I loved twilight as a preteen I waited for every book launch, I hated the movies and as I was going out of twilight The Host dropped. I don't know why it's like a comfort story for me but it always is I could read it and then immediately read it again. it's better written then Stephanie meyers other novels, it's movie adaption was an even worse travesty than the twilight movies but I honestly love it so much it's a guilty pleasure and this reader has a nice voice not irritating and a nice cadance.

Incredible
My sister told me about this book, so I looked for it on Audible and downloaded it. Started to listen and for the first hour wondered what my sister was on about then it grabbed me. From then on could not stop listening! The end entirely satisfying too, with the possibility of more.....

Captivating
I don't 'do' vampire stories so I had not come across this author before. I'm not sure why I bought the audio book - except that it is long - I like complicated, involving plots.
If you don't buy anything else this year or next, buy this. It is a wonderful story - the only thing wrong with it is that it is only 23 hours long! I finished it in record time and mourned the fact that there was no more. If there is a sequel - then I will be the first to rush out and buy it. The narration is wonderful - I loved the inflection used for Wanderer.
It is a beautiful story of love and hope and flawed humanity. BUY IT - I promise you won't be disappointed.
