The Christmas Lights: A Gorgeous Christmas Romance Full of Love, Loss and Secrets eBook : Swan, Karen: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

There is no need to swear in novels, plenty more adjectives can be used. Wont be reading any more by this author

A long ago holiday drew me to this book and I was not disappointed! The traditional outstanding beauty of the country with a modern twist as we see inside the lives of that new phenomenon ‘social influencers’ who make a career & megabucks out of living their lives ‘online’! But is it all ‘the fairy tale’?Set against the stunning backdrop of the Norwegian wilderness all is not what it seems! Add an online stalker to the mix and you have the recipe for a new ‘Scandi noir’! A perfect read for this time of year!

I loved the unexpected in this story, the little things you think you have guessed which turn out not to be quite right. I twists and turns which keep you glued to the pages and make it such a brilliant read.Set in Norway in December, amongst the snow and ice, I felt I was right there watching the story unfold. By the time I had finished my heart was racing and I had shed a tear or two.It did take me a little while to warm up to Zac, Bo and Lenny. They are free-spirited world travel bloggers, living the dream life and I found them hard to like at first. However, as the story unfolded and their characters and backstories became apparent I became totally engrossed in their tale. As well as Signy's story, which runs throughout the book. The characters were well developed and definitely believable.This is yet another really well written, riveting read from Karen Swan. I loved reading it and found it so hard to actually put down. I would recommend reading this curled up in front of a fire on a winters evening, though anytime is a good time to read such a well-written story.

Karen Swan has done it again. This is a gorgeous, festive Christmas read full of romance but also so much more - an intriguing historical subplot, suspense, escapist glamour, stunning, evocative Norwegian landscapes and a real page-turner of a book. Also, I was really pleased to see that after her last book, A Greek Affair, slightly dialled down on romance, the chemistry between the hero and heroine in this new novel was much more of a focus. Gorgeous!

A very interesting insight to modern media
