"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?" ~goodreads
I love this cover, there is something that draws me to it. Especially since I like to stare at it and think, is that just a shadow behind her back on the wall or is it a wing. It wasn't just the cover that has enticed me to be excited about this book, I can pretty much be won over with the word Chicago. Yay landmarks and things I will actually know! I feel like New York has a tendency to be a hot spot for things happening in books, so I'm excited for the change of pace. Can't wait.
