Northern Lights: The Compass Series Book 1

Just when you think Lise Gold can’t possibly surpass the brilliance of Fireflies, she delivers her Christmas novella Northern Lights.Breathtakingly magical, Northern Lights take the reader on a festive journey to the snowy climes of Norway. Here our two protagonists, Hannah and Kristine, meet on a 5 day Christmas break hoping to see the elusive northern lights but perhaps also to find something else…Lise Gold is possibly one of the best descriptive writers out there. The celestial phenomenon of the mystical aurora borealis is so intricately described that I almost felt like I was there, witnessing the awe inspiring and spectacular light show. We are also treated to some fascinating Nordic folklore, discover the delights of Norwegian cuisine and are thoroughly immersed in the sensory tingling descriptions of the holiday season in this mystical land.Other worldly, truly original and ice meltingly hot, Lise Gold has given her readers a truly sparkling gem of a novella that positively oozes holiday romance – also love the cookie recipes at the end, what a lovely touch.

I really enjoyed the setting of the story and the love interest development. I am looking forward to reading the next book.

There's a lot to like about this Christmassy tale (even though I read it in April!). Nice characters and interesting to learn, through the story, more about how Christmas is celebrated in Norway. There's also a sweet and sexy romance between the two gay girls who find themselves on the same trip - Hannah and Kristine have enough about them to feel invested in their happiness. The price (99p when I got this) is also to like and I'll definitely be back for part 2!

Little story to wrap yourself in a blanket a read. Enjoy the fun of Christmas in Norway.The sights, the sounds, the smells, all remind you of the happy season.Great to meet Hannah and Kristine. Looking forward to reading the next installment.

Having done a trip to Norway and all the places mentioned, this brought it all back to me. But apart from all the memory jogging this was a great love story. Highly recommended.

I absolutely loved this story. From the very first page i was hooked. First book to have read by Lisa gold but definitely won't be the last

A lovely feel good book with well developed characters and a good story line. A genuine pleasure to read. Lise Gold is fast becoming one of my favourite authors.
