No I agree, I think it's ugly. In fact, I think nalissa's is way better. They should have asked her permission to use hers because it blows the actual cover out of the water.

Ok good I'm not the only one, the cover just looks awkward even the preview orange cover they had first just to publicize it looked better. And Nalissa's is better.

Wow. Thanks guys! I really appreciate it.:)  I'd even let them use it for free…

I actually redid the type in blue.. since she's a cop… and she's a cool kind of "heat."

I guess the artwork featured is more in tune with what we've seen on his "previous covers." (Shrug) But I don't feel the love.

Love it with the blue! :D You really need to harass some people to let them use your cover for Castle. lol.

I think Nalissa’s cover is better too, and also more in line with Castle’s other covers, but maybe he got stuck with this cover as some kind of passive-aggressive punishment for divorcing his blood-sucking ex-wife

Hmmm, is that so? I don't know why the crazy woman would want to compromise her cash cow, though, since she does seem to still be representing him. Foolish on her part.

I agree Nalissa, the blue looks awesome and is more fitting with the rest of the cover. I wish they would use yours! :D

This is random mirella but I like your avatar. :)

MichyGeary made it hahaha

didnt want to make the wrong guess but Michy has billions on her LJ, ran into it. LOL. She's a ninja. Her name keeps popping up everywhere.

Did anyone read the synopsis on amazon? I found it kind of disturbing… mainly because he's writing himself into the Nikki Heat story which seems… weird. Kinda like the "Mary Sue" syndrome. It's not giving me a good feeling.

A New York real estate tycoon plunges to his death on a Manhattan sidewalk. A trophy wife with a past survives a narrow escape from a brazen attack. Mobsters and moguls with no shortage of reasons to kill trot out their alibis. And then, in the suffocating grip of a record heat wave, comes another shocking murder and a sharp turn in a tense journey into the dirty little secrets of the wealthy. Secrets that prove to be fatal. Secrets that lay hidden in the dark until one NYPD detective shines a light.

Mystery sensation Richard Castle, blockbuster author of the wildly best-selling Derrick Storm novels, introduces his newest character, NYPD Homicide Detective Nikki Heat. Tough, sexy, professional, Nikki Heat carries a passion for justice as she leads one of New York City's top homicide squads. She's hit with an unexpected challenge when the commissioner assigns superstar magazine journalist Jameson Rook to ride along with her to research an article on New York's Finest. PulitzerPrize-winning Rook is as much a handful as he is handsome. His wise-cracking and meddling aren't her only problems. As she works to unravel the secrets of the murdered real estate tycoon, she must also confront the spark between them. The one called heat.

That (the one currently on this site till I have time to update it) isn't “theirs” it's just one I created for using on this site until they had something

Ok that makes sense. It just stood out more cause of the color. But the cover their using just seems a unbalanced. I mean credit to the person who did it, something just seems off a little. I guess the city and her should have been a bit closer set together and a bit of outline color.
