Publisher Description

Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a species that takes over the minds of their human hosts while leaving their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed.

Wanderer, the invading 'soul' who has been given Melanie's body, knew about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the too-vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.

Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves - Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never met. As outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off to search for the man they both love.

The story is good.. the narrator is not

Whist the storyline is quite good, this is the first time I haven’t been able to get past an average narrator.

In the past I’ve found annoying voices can be forgotten when the delivery or storytelling is of great quality but she was not skilled at either.

The ‘voices’ she puts on for the characters are ridiculous and she’s injected her own disjointed style of speaking for certain characters that aren’t portrayed to speak like that in the books or movies.

It’s incredibly frustrating trying to listen and enjoy the story. Do yourself the favour and buy the hard copy.
