The Host

This is Stephenie Meyer's first book geared towards adults. It is a great story about a time when these aliens (souls) take over much of the planet. When the souls attach themselves inside the human body most times the human consciousness dies but not with Melanie. The soul put in her body must decide who she is loyal to and if her people are doing the right thing by taking over Earth.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes science fiction mixed with a little romance. A+

The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox

I just finished this book and it was GREAT! It was definitely sad, but I didn't sob or anything while I was reading; it definitely gives you a heavy heart though. I would recommend the book to anyone who wants to snuggle up on the couch and read a great book.
This is the story of Esme Lennox's life. It travels back and forth between the present and Esme's childhood. Once you get to know all of the characters it is a lot easier to follow. The book is full of twists and turns that are not the norm in most books.
