Waiting on Wednesday

"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. It lets us all gush about what soon-to-be released books we are jumping-up-and-down excited for. 
The Mirk and Midnight Hour 
by Jane Nickerson
hitting shelves March 14, 2014 from Random House
description:
Jane Nickerson's second novel, also set in the "Strands" world, is based on the Scottish 'Ballad of Tam Lin,' and is set in Mississippi during the Civil War. Violet Dancey, a 17-year-old whose father has left to fight in the Civil War, is forced to confront Thomas, a hurt Union solider near her home. She must decide how to approach the enemy--and how to deal with her growing attraction to him.
My thoughts: Loved Jane Nickerson's debut Strands of Bronze and Gold, so I'm excited to hear about this book!  I'm sure it will be another beautifully done historical tale!
