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.
It's ok it took a long time to get into it, but once I did I couldn't put it down. I think I read the first 10-12 chapters then set it down for like a week. I picked it up again last night and was determined to read it and I did, and I got engrossed in it. I can totally picture this book as a movie and it would probably make more sense if it were a movie at least in the beginning.
I am conflicted on the whole Jarred/Ian thing because come if you read it I am sure you know why. But I like it that Wanda stayed and hooked up with Ian.
I don't think I would own this book, but I am proud to say that I am pleased I read it and finished it.
