Penguin has put a page up for Hit List. I like the cover better than the cutting implement covers of late. I wish they gave us more than a one sentence synopsis, though.  6/7/11

McMillan has a page up for Kitty's Big Trouble. Just a synopsis though, no excerpt. 6/28/11

Kelly Armstrong has a page up with cover art and blurb (but no excerpt) for Spell Bound (Savannah) (Women/Otherworld Bk 12)   7/26/11

Nalini Singh has a page up for Archangel's Blade, but just a blurb for now, with a promise of an excerpt to come.

Hyperion has a page up for Heat Rises, the next Nikki Heat book, but no blurb or excerpt. Entertainment Weekly has a blurb for it though, and it sounds like a pretty good set up.
