Illuminate by Aimee Agresti
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.Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick by Joe Schreiber
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.
Perry Stormaire is a normal high school senior– he is busy applying to college and rehearsing with his band –until he agrees to go to the prom with the Lithuanian exchange student who is staying with his family. It turns out that Gobi Zaksauskas is not the mousy teenager that she seems but rather an attractive, confident trained assassin. Instead of going to the prom, Perry finds himself on a wild ride through the streets of New York City as Gobi commandeers the Jaguar his father lent him for the prom in order to take out her targets. Perry learns a lot about himself – and ends up with some amazing material for his college application essays.Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey

Marrying a vampire definitely doesn’t fit into Jessica Packwood’s senior year “get-a-life” plan. But then a bizarre (and incredibly hot) new exchange student named Lucius Vladescu shows up, claiming that Jessica is a Romanian vampire princess by birth—and he’s her long-lost fiancĂ©. Armed with newfound confidence and a copy of Growing Up Undead: A Teen Vampire’s Guide to Dating, Health, and Emotions, Jessica makes a dramatic transition from average American teenager to glam European vampire princess. But when a devious cheerleader sets her sights on Lucius, Jess finds herself fighting to win back her wayward prince, stop a global vampire war—and save Lucius’s soul from eternal destruction.

The dresses!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Vivien, it's definitely the dresses. Dancing the night away comes in second.

ReplyDeleteThe dresses, most definitely.
ReplyDeletePicking out the dresses! And I like the proms that have live bands :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, the dancing with all my girlfriends and being happy the year was done :)

ReplyDeleteAu Revoir, Crazy European Chick looks AMAZING. I'd be sold by virtue of the title alone, but the premise is awesome, too!
ReplyDeleteThe dinner before prom, because we could all have fun eating good food!
ReplyDeleteOh, and as far as my favorite thing about prom goes...getting all dolled up and taking the pictures is definitely the best.
ReplyDeleteThe dresses and dancing with friends.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part about prom is the way you seem to connect with a bunch of people you don't usually talk to, all through music and dancing. I love burning the calories away and dancing with my shoes off!
ReplyDeleteThe expectations
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about prom was getting dressed up and the excitement that you felt before
ReplyDeleteThe magic of dressing up, seeing your *childhood* friends transformed into dashing young men and exquisitely-garbed young ladies ... every familiar face is suddenly that of a stranger, with the promise of the future impressed upon each heart. [hmmm ... I seem to wax rather prosaic today lol]
ReplyDeleteI love the dresses, getting dressed up and getting hair done. Its a magical night. Tore923@aol.com

ReplyDeleteI loved getting all dressed up. I'm such a girl!
ReplyDeletePretty dresses :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the unusual outfits created out of duct tape, cardboard, paper bags, soda can tabs, and other recyclable materials. (commenting as Justine)
ReplyDeleteThe memory whether good or bad can always be remembered as a great story of your 'prom night'
ReplyDeleteI really like when the proms have themes, like midnight in paris, etc. I also really like when some schools let their proms be more of a costume party!
ReplyDeleteI'm also going with the dresses. I'm not really one for dresses but I'd make an exception for these kind :)
ReplyDeleteThe dresses and the dressing up! Everyone looks so elegant
