* Excerpts, First Chapters, and Sneak Peeks

 
Some of the books on my Anxiously Awaiting list have excerpts available at the author's or publisher's websites.

Next up that I'm really chomping at the bit for is:

• The second Night Huntress World book. I am intrigued by Mencheres, and I am looking forward to learning more about him.
• The eleventh Women of the Otherworld book. Savannah is growing up, and I'm sure Kelley Armstrong will give us a good story out of it.

I would love to have an ARC for any of the books on this list, or on my Anxiously Awaiting list. See my Review Policy for more information about sending books for review.
