Can't Wait for These Books to Come Out!

After reading the Shadow of the Wind and The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, I have to confess, I am hooked to them. They were so very good that I read the Shadow of the Wind again right after finishing The Angel's Game. Surprisingly, there are certain things that've missed my scrutiny during my first run with Daniel Sempere. That's the trademark of a good author, to be able to weave a tale full of surprises every single time you turn the pages! And now, there appears to be two new books by none other than one of my favorite authors, Carlos Ruiz Zafon! 

Yes, The Prince of Mist and September Lights will be coming to us soon, and the synopses of both novels make me even more eager to get my hands on them!

The Prince of Mist - Carlos Ruiz Zafon

A mysterious house with an unimaginable secret…
It is war time, and the Carver family decides to leave the city to settle in a small coastal town where they have bought a house. But from the moment they cross the threshold, strange things begin to happen. In the mysterious house lives the spirit of Jacob, the son of the old proprietor who drowned years ago.

With the aid of their new friend Roland, Max and Alicia Carver begin to summon the Prince of the Mists — a diabolic creature who has emerged from the darkness to settle a debt from years past.
Soon the three young people find themselves in an adventure of sunken ships and enchanted statues that will change their lives forever.

Feeling intrigued? Well, there's more! The cover for the English version of September Lights isn't out yet, so here's the Spanish one.


September Lights - Carlos Ruiz Zafon

A mysterious toymaker who lives as a recluse in an old mansion, surrounded by the mechanical beings he has created ...an enigma surrounding strange lights that shine through the mists that envelop the small island on which the old lighthouse stands...a shadowy creature that hides deep in the woods...these are the elements of a mystery that bind will bind 14-year-old Irene to Ismael during one magical summer spent in the Blue Bay. He mother has taken a job as a housekeeper for the toymaker, Lazarus, but his house contains more secrets than Irene and Ishmael have bargained for.
