The Host series by Stephenie Meyer consists of two books. The first is titled ‘The Host,’ published in 2008, and the second book, ‘The Soul,’ is a sequel that was released in 2020.
‘The Host’ follows Melanie Stryder, a young woman whose body has been invaded by a parasitic alien known as a ‘Soul.’ The story explores themes of love, identity, and the struggle for survival in a world where humanity is on the brink of extinction.
The sequel, ‘The Soul,’ continues Melanie’s journey and further develops the complex relationships between the characters. While the series is shorter than Meyer’s more popular ‘Twilight’ saga, it has garnered its own unique fanbase and tells a richly woven narrative that blends science fiction and romance.
