Waiting On Wednesday #10

26 Oct 2011


"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine , that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


Author: Aimee Agresti
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Expected Release Date: March 6th, 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? Illuminate is an exciting saga of a teen’s first taste of independence, her experience in the lap of luxury, and her discovery she may possess strength greater than she ever knew.

Gorgeous cover! I'm a sucker for such beautiful covers <3 Looks like the plot will be quite interesting as well - working at a stylish hotel? That sounds interesting! Oh, and there'll definitely be hot guys! Haha

  7. Haha I'm a sucker for beautiful covers too! Much as they say 'don't judge a book by it's cover' they make it sort of difficult when they design such gorgeous eye candy. So excited to read this, it sounds amazing!
