BEST STEPHENIE MEYER BOOKS

These are three best books by American bestselling author, Stephenie Meyer, Twilight (2005), The Host (2008) and the Chemist (2016).

Twilight: In the first book of Twilight Saga, we first encounter Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. Edward is a vampire who is fondly in love with Bella, a human. The pair must survive their forbidden relationship that develops in a small town with a mysterious group of vampires.

The author admits that the idea of writing Twilight was sparked by the dream she had on 2nd of June 2003. It was a dream about a young beautiful human girl and a handsome vampire who was deeply in love with her but also thirsted for her blood. Based on this dream she wrote what would later become chapter 13 of the novel.

While the book has come under some scrutiny in years based on it’s immense popularity, this is a good vampire novel and paints a unique world. The characters are well drawn and the drama is formed by its intensity.

The Host: Melanie Stryder refuses to give up; the earth has been invaded by alien species that take control over the minds of the humans while leaving the host body intact.

The invading “Soul” named Wanderer did not expect to find the previous tenant refusing to give up the possession of her mind. As Melanie begins to fill wanderer thoughts with several visions of Jared, a human on the run, Wander begins to yearn for a man whom she has never met. The two hesitant allies, Melanie and Wanderer, set off in search of a man they both love.

The Chemist: Working for a secret government agency, one so secret that they don’t even have a name, is a difficult job. Especially when they decide you are a liability and come for your life. On the run, never staying in one place for too long, she’s seen the only person she can trust killed. This is no way to live. She knows things that they just can’t handle her knowing.

When offered a chance at redemption by her former handler, she has no choice but to take it. The job is dangerous and not made any better by a potential love interest. This unique heroine has to use all the skills she’s acquired in hopes of surviving.

This book is considered a huge jump in the quality of writing for Stephenie Meyer and is her transition into adult writing. She’s grown with her audience from the young adult Twilight to the more mature The Host and has firmly put herself in a more adult world with The Chemist. Forget what you think you know about Meyer’s writing, The Chemist is a darn good book.
