As the plot takes a very long time to move along, we get well acquainted with this hotel through Haven, who is instructed to learn all that she can about the inner workings. Even the somber passages become alive by the intimidating ambiance Aimee has given it. We begin with exploring this majestic hotel: The elegant decor, the perfect employees, the vibrant night club - it's all described wonderfully with enough details to make you visualize all of this beauty. Soon after they arrive, however, Haven starts to notice things are a bit… off. Haven and two class-mates, one of them being her best friend, are chosen for an internship at an over the top luxurious hotel. Although it failed to wow me, I was left enthralled by the mystery, and fascinated by the glamor. Illuminate, with its enchanting cover and alluring premise, gives us a tale full of beauty, mystery and deception.
