Paragraphs from the book mentioned in the Companion[]
Page One[]
If I stopped here and listened to the seductive suggestinve suggestions of my host, I would truely be a traitor. That was impossible. I was a soul. And yet I knew what I wanted, more powerfully and vividly than anything I had ever wanted in all the eight lives I'd lived. The image of Jared's face danced behind my eyelids when I blinked againest the sun - not Melanie's memory this time, but my memory of hers. She forced nothing on me now. I could barely feel her in my head as she waited - I imagined her holding her breath, as if that were possible for me to make my decision. I could not separate myself from this bodies wants. It was me, more than I'd ever intended it to be. Did I want or did it wants? Did that distiniction even matter now? (Reference in the book: Wanderer, deciding to go into the desert in search of the beloved Melanie, whose body she inhabits, - The Host)

What was it that made this human love so much more desirable to me than the love of my kind? Was it because it was exclusive and copricous? The souls offered love and acceptance to all. Did I crave a greater challenge? This love was tricky; it had no harrd-and-fast rules - it might be given free, as with Jamie, or earned through time and hard work, as with Ian, or completely and heartbreakingly unattainable, as with Jared. Or was it simply better somehow? Because these humans could hate with so much fury, was the other end of the spectrum that they could love with more heart and zeal and fire? I didn't know why I had yearned after it so desperately. All I knew was that, now that I had it, it was worth every ounce of risk and agony it had cost. It was better than I'd imagined. It was everything. (Reference in the book:_unidentified_)
