Covers & Blurbs!

Check out the gorgeous cover Rachel Vincent has for her first YA novel, My Soul to Take.  This is definitely an eye catcher and people may have a hard time finding it when others see it on the shelves on August 1st.  If you have subscribed to Rachel’s newsletter, than you have already seen the cover for My Soul to Save and, in case you haven’t, that one is equally gorgeous (think blue instead of red).  I’ll post it once I see it on Rachel’s site.

Check out the snazzy new digs Bitten by Books has.  Talk about a complete site redesign.  I have to say, the new look is fabulous and if you haven’t stopped over yet, you really need to.  :)

Carrie Vaughn is treating us to an inside look into the vampire that is Rick, from the Kitty Norville series.  We can thank Subterraean Press for publishing his story, Conquistador de la Noche, before Kitty even gets to find out.

Jeaniene Frost has added an excerpt up for Destined to an Early Grave.  This book is phenemenal (and I’m still taking Rayna for picking me up the ARC at RT) and I was blown away by all the events that have taken place.  Jeaniene has also added the new wallpaper artwork to her site.

We have a blurb for Dev’s book – Blaze of Memory.  Nalini Singh has two Psy-Changling novels out this year and we finally get a peak at what she’s planning for Dev.

Dev Santos discovers her unconscious and battered, with no memory of who she is. All she knows is that she’s dangerous. Charged with protecting his people’s most vulnerable secrets, Dev is duty-bound to eliminate all threats. It’s a task he’s never hesitated to complete…until he finds himself drawn to a woman who might yet prove the enemy’s most insidious weapon.

Stripped of her memories by a shadowy oppressor, and programmed to carry out cold-blooded murder, Katya Haas is fighting desperately for her sanity itself. Her only hope is Dev. But how can she expect to gain the trust of a man who could very well be her next target? For in this game, one must die…
