Alicia S (193 KP) rated Under the Northern Lights in Books

Dec 21, 2018

Mallory, a professional photographer, is making her annual flight up to Alaska to enjoy the remoteness and the capture images of the wildlife she loves so much. What she didn't expect is for her plane to go down in a remote area after unexpected weather hits her. Left without any supplies, badly injured and surrounded by danger, she assumes this is the end. Seconds away from death, a mysterious man, living alone in the mountains saves her life.

After spending years alone, having given up on society and life in general, Michael can't help but find himself growing more and more appreciative of Mallory's presence as they face the harsh realities of living in remote Alaska together. Stuck until Spring when he can finally fly them out and to safety, they must learn to live together, relying on each other in this remote land.

SC Stephens has an incredible way of writing that completely rips your heart out, yet you just can't turn away. She hooked me years ago with her Thoughtless series (still my all-time favorite) and she has once again created a beautiful story about survival, faith, and love. Highly, highly recommended!

The best Nazi/Bigfoot movie you'll see this year!

I was intrigued when I first read about this film. Not since "Saving Private Ryan" has a movie's plot been so well conveyed in its title alone.

I never thought I would be watching a story about love and regret based on the film's premise and first act. The movie is all over the place at times and doesn't really know what type of film it wants to be, but if you just accept the unusual premise the film works as entertainment alone.

The old man regrets some of the choices he has made in his life, but also stands by them at the same time.

The movie is told both present day 1987 and in flashback during World War II. The premise being the man who killed the head of the Nazi party who spread disease throughout the world is again called upon to eliminate another menace threatening global safety.

I could see how some could totally hate the idea and execution of this, but I found it different and delightful.
