Title: Illuminate
Autor: Aimee Agresti
Release date: March 6, 2012
Haven Terra is a brainy, shy high school outcast. But everything begins to change when she turns sixteen. Along with her best friend Dante and their quiet and brilliant classmate Lance, she is awarded a prestigious internship in the big city— Chicago—and is sent to live and work at a swanky and stylish hotel under the watchful eyes of a group of gorgeous and shockingly young-looking strangers: powerful and alluring hotel owner Aurelia Brown; her second-in-command, the dashing Lucian Grove; and their stunning but aloof staff of glamazons called The Outfit.
As Haven begins falling for Lucian, she discovers that these beautiful people are not quite what they seem. With the help of a mysterious book, she uncovers a network of secret passageways from the hotel’s jazz-age past that leads her to the heart of the evil agenda of Aurelia and company: they’re in the business of buying souls. Will they succeed in wooing Haven to join them in their recruitment efforts, or will she be able to thwart this devilish set’s plans to take the souls of her classmates on prom night at the hotel?
I don’t even know where to start with this one. I think the cover is gorgeous and I like that it hints at what the book is about. Also I love the idea of secret passageways in the hotel. It sounds like this book will be a great mix of romance, mystery, and paranormal. I can’t wait!
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
Illuminate sounds so good. I can’t wait to read it. Plus it has a girl-in-a-dress cover and I love those. Great pick!
I am over the girl-in-a-dress-cover, but I actually really like this cover. I think mostly because of the colors.
I’m really excited for this one too, Katy 🙂 it looks really good!
And I agree with you, the cover is super pretty 🙂

Oh- it started out sounding all contemporary and then BOOM– paranormal. Love it.
I just LOVE the lettering on the cover. So gorgeous. I’m a bit hesitant over this one because the beginning of the synopsis sounds so typical, but other aspects of it sound pretty cool. I guess we’ll see!
This was such an awesome book! The whole internship thing in the hotel was a perfect change from the usual high school setting.
And you’re right, the cover is awesome!
