Vintage Bookworms: Past, Present, & Future #9

Past, Present, & Future Reading Pile is a new feature on my blog where I "hopefully" post every Monday to keep track of the books I've read the week before, what I'm currently reading and which books I hope to start and finish during that week.

The Past

There is currently no books in the "past" for me, since I'm still reading the same book as last Sunday, sadly. I've been sick since last week, but I'm getting better!

The Present

Illuminate, by Aimee Agresti

(Gilded Wings, #1)

Publisher: Harcourt Children's Books

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?
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.

I haven't been able to read much this week because I haven't really felt like reading because I've been sick. I really enjoy reading this book though, it's really good and unique! I have a little under 200 more pages to read. I really want to finish this by the release date on Tuesday, I'll hopefully have my review up on Monday, so watch out for it! =)
