A continuing series that highlights books recently acquired by publishing houses for future release. Each post features a book we’re looking forward to, and a book we’re . . . not.

The Cherry:

John Lockwood and Charles Lockwood’s The Siege of Washington, an account of the nerve-wracking 12 days in April, 1861—following Virginia’s secession and until the arrival of Union reinforcements—when it seemed possible Washington D.C. might fall into Confederate hands.

The Pit:

Michele Bardsley’s Never Again, the next two books in a new paranormal series beginning the story of a cursed witch, who has the power to heal any wound but only at great cost to herself, and the Wizard of Nevermore, and her ex-brother-in-law who was almost killed by her sister, and is now the only person she can turn to for help—if he’ll give it.

Got all that?
