Review: Not nearly as captivating as her Twilight Saga, most the characters are extremely forgettable. The writing is mediocre and it matches the storyline. The storyline was a twist on an old classic, pod people taking over the world. This plot had potential to be a great story, but its long and drawn out. Meyer needs to shorten this book by 300 pages and it'd be a much better read.
Synopsis: Aliens take over the world, they are silver almost worm like creature implanted into humans brain. The alien host has to deal with the memories from its former human. One alien, Wanderer, struggles in a constant mental battle with her human host, Melanie. Eventually, she succumbs to her human and goes in search of her brother and the man she is in love with.
Wanderer stumbles on a hidden human colony living in the desert including the two men she was looking for. The humans debate whether or not to kill her; she may be bringing the other aliens to wipe out their rebellion. After a time they begin to trust her and incorporate her into their world. She begins to sympathize with the humans, and doubt the decisions of her species to just take over another. Wanderer becomes a great ally, she teaches them about her species and even helps them on raids into civilization.
