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.
At first, I confused with the story. it’s so blur everywhere. Kinda boring, too. But I keep on reading and the story became interesting and more interesting. Though, there aren’t much fighting sequences. Much of the story is the talking or the thoughts. Meyer is still use first point of view in this book. Maybe, it’s her brand.
The story become funny when Jared and Ian know they’re in “rectangle” loves. I said rectangle because it is likely four people than three: Melanie, Wanda, Jared and Ian, with the two girls in one body. Poor Jared and Ian. How can they do something with the one they love when the other girl is listening? It’s funny, though.
Though, this is a happy ending story (sorry, spoiler). So everybody (main characters) have their owns happy life and love.
