Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that take over the minds of human hosts while leaving their bodies intact. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, didn't expect to find its former tenant refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.
As Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of Jared, a human who still lives in hiding, Wanderer begins to yearn for a man she's never met. Reluctant allies, Wanderer and Melanie set off to search for the man they both love.

My Review:
I just have such a good time reading this story! It really is too bad that this isn't actually going to be a series, because I want to spend more time in this world with these characters-there's so much that we could explore and learn. Alas! But I have such a great time with the story that we have!

Wanderer has never stayed at a planet for more than one life. She keeps on going to the next planet, not finding a place to call home. But she finds one, here on Earth. But humans are still resisting, including Wanderer's body, Melanie.
Her relationship with Melanie, and with Ian, Jared and Jamie, as she forms bond with humans, realizes what the souls are doing to humans is wrong, as she deals with these conflicting emotions, it was such a great story! Wanda is so peaceful, and she tries her best, even when it's not in her best interests.
They really did form a family, though it was easier since they did have blood family in the first place. They're survivors, and the place that we leave them is good, with hope for the future. But again, I do still wish we could get those sequels that were mentioned!
Loved reading this book again, it never disappoints!
