THE HOST by Stephenie Meyer (Due out May 6th.)Review by Emily of Deliciously Clean Reads and Whimsy
I never thought an author could make me cry over a dying alien...but that's Stephenie Meyer for you. I mean really, how many authors do you know who could capture the heart of the world through a vampire romance? Well, The Host's plot is every bit as cheesy-sounding. Yet, there I was, crying...enthralled...unable to put it down.
The Host started out a little rough for me. It is written from the perspective of a parasitic alien who has just entered into a human body. At first, I couldn't help but be a little turned off by the sci-fi aspect of the plot...but by about page 40, I was completely sucked in. Stephenie Meyer is talented at taking an out-there plot and making it ridiculously compelling and romantic.

I'm totally looking forward to reading this--but the cover is a little freaky. I have a thing with eyeballs.
Stephenie Meyer must have a thing with eyes, too. First, she wrote about vampires with liquid gold eyes and now aliens with reflective eyes.
