I liked this when it first came out. The writing style is more similar to the Twilight books than I remembered, but once I accepted that, I enjoyed it on reread. I liked the tension and dynamic between Mel and Wanda, and it got even more interesting once you threw Jared and Ian in there too. I did not remember that Jared is 26 and Mel is 17 when they meet - and I did not like that! And there's some weird age things about the ending too. But unlike the Twilight books, it wasn't mainly about romance. The story itself was interesting, and there are some thought-provoking ideas here about invasion, conflict, and the idea of the body, the soul, and what makes a person.
