Description

After losing her father and nearly losing her life when their ship sank off the coast of Cornwall, Adelaide Hampton Parke is faced with a terrible dilemma. Her stepmother has demanded that they immediately set sail for New York but the very idea of stepping foot on board another ship and facing the uncertainty of a Transatlantic crossing leaves her paralyzed with fear. Not to mention that her relationship with her stepmother is contentious at best and she's been given only six months to return to New York and find herself a husband or be put out of the family's Park Avenue home to make her own way in the world.

Salvation comes, unexpectedly, in the form of a telegram from Eldren Llewellyn a Welsh lord and the sole owner of a mining empire. He'd partnered with her father in multiple business ventures, and upon the man's death, proposed to Adelaide in order to spare her the ordeal of returning home in her stepmother's less than tender care. But as she travels to his remote estate in Snowdonia, Adelaide comes to realize that his ancestral home, Cysgod Lys, literally the Shadow Hall, is filled with secrets and dark things she cannot name. Fear is her constant companion and she begins to wonder if her new husband is her savior... or her doom.

    It’s a cliffhanger. Too bad because it had a good story line.

    The story is interesting but unfinished. It may be two or three books before we actually see an end. Had I wanted a chapter book with only the beginning chapters it would have been pretty good, but NOTHING has been resolved in this book. I won’t buy a second by this suthor

    I thought the book was great, but I’m very disappointed that the author did not end the story! Will we be offered the next book in the series as a “freebie” or will we have to purchase it to continue the story?
  • Good read.. but the story isn’t finished

    Am not so much into paranormal novels.. really like reading this novel. but I should point out that the story isn’t complete, this seems to be only part 1 (out of 3). Would definitely want to find out what happens...
  • Not a standalone book

    This was a freebie through BookBub. The story feels very contrived as if the author can’t decide if the shadows are ghosts, demons, or a curse. It ends abruptly in a cliffhanger. I’m not that invested in the story to buy into the series.

    I would have skipped this read had I known the story would be continued into the second and third book. It’s a personal preference to avoid sequels.
  • Don’t be lulled...

    as this is not a stand alone book. It does not end with a resolution.
