About this ebook
Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that takes 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.

4 stars instead of 5 due to the fact that the first few chapters didn't catch my attention at all. It wasn't until i decided to just carry on reading that i realised how good this book is! One of the best i've read, loved the story line!

The book was one of my Favorite books. It takes you into a direction other then Twilight. I would say all of Stephenie Meyers books are great books to read over and again and would recommend.

Started of a little slow, the first 100 pages I had to push myself to get through, so glad I did though because it was a fantastic book, give it a read you won't be disappointed.
