"One Giant Book" | The Host Part 1
05/09/25 • 53 min
"I guess there’s really not that many different alien storylines."
Stephenie Meyer's 2008 book The Host is a behemoth. Kellie and Daphne take on the first half of the alien invasion story in part one of our first two-episode special. It's unexpected in a lot of ways, not least of which is how much we're enjoying it so far. Will Melanie's human spirit triumph over Wanderer, the soul inside her? Tune in to our next regular episode on May 23 to find out how it all ends!

"It’s maybe the worst book I’ve ever read in my life."
Sorry in advance to the Hush, Hush fans, but needless to say, we had some thoughts about Becca Fitzpatrick's 2009 novel. Namely, "why" and "how?" Daphne and Kellie talk fallen angels, nephilim, teen romance, unlikeable characters, terrible worldbuilding, and yes, tacos, in this supernatural episode.
