Hello to the whole community of Hive!
Reading is one of my favorite hobbies, so today I will tell you about my extraordinary experience with the book called Shadows at Dusk by the author Anne Stuart.
This was a gift given on September 25, 2017.
Shadows at Dusk tells the story of a chilling house called the House of Shadows, so that by the mid-fifties a terrible crime scene of the actress Brenda Lorillard and Ted Hughes is presented. After what happened, several communities decided that it would be good to inhabit that home, however most quickly moved away from it as they witnessed some sounds, and movements of objects, implying that the place was totally haunted. Many thought that perhaps it was the souls of the couple haunting the place.
One day Jilly Meyer (lover of ancient architecture) owner of the current house, daughter of Jackson Dean Meyer and sister of Dean (characterized by being someone quiet) and Rachel-Ann (mentally unstable, empties her sorrows into alcohol and cigarettes) decided to keep it, she really did not care if she was bewitched or not. Jilly had fallen so much in love with the place that she had forgotten how unstable it was, she knew that soon her beloved would be knocked down by her millionaire father to build a better building.
The plot is increasingly interesting and quite tangled, which presents the face of both stories, that of the main protagonist and the couple who had died in that place.
After so many scenes. Jilly realizes that she had fallen in love with Jackson's right-hand man, Coltrane; a new character, who is characterized by being a very attractive and strong man. Coltrane decided to be Jackson's right-hand man in order to pay for what he had done with his mother; to kill her.
No one knew what he wanted, only his being. He became the vengeful man to someone who really didn't want to hurt anyone. He planned to take it out on Jackson's beloved daughter, Rachel-Ann, because he was more special to her than his other two children.
The truth of the matter is that Jackson the cold, scary and vengeful father was in love with his own daughter. This was discovered by Coltrane himself, who also found out that Rachel-Ann was his sister, except for Jilly and Dean. Everything intensified even more, arriving at the day in which Jackson died drowned in a pool that was in the front part of the house when he tripped over himself and hit his head abruptly on the edge of where the content was (highlighting that it was there that Coltrane and Ranchel-Ann's mother died, who was drowned by the evil Jackson)
Jilly and Coltrane decide to be together. Rachel-Ann saw what her father intended to do with her, which was to take her away from the city; she felt calm enough to know that she would no longer have him. Having the opportunity to meet the right boy. For his part, Dean chose to live his life.
Finally, with the couple. Brenda decides to confess to Tedd what happened that day. Emphasizing that his ex-wife had murdered her, when Brenda entered the house he was already lying in bed dead. Brenda looked out the window and saw Adele, the ex, running around with her hands full of blood.
Brenda could not tolerate Tedd's death and decided to kill herself with the gun that Adele had killed her beloved. Meanwhile, the House of Shadows was sold for a movie theater.
Without further ado, I hope you have enjoyed this short plot of this great book.
THANKS FOR READING ME! ❣️
¡GRACIAS POR LEERME! ❣️
¡Hola a toda la comunidad de Hive!
Leer, es uno de mis hobbis favoritos, por eso, hoy les contaré mi extraordinaria experiencia con el libro denominado Sombras al Atardecer de la autora Anne Stuart.
La misma fue un regalo obsequiado el 25 de septiembre del 2017.
Sombras al atardecer cuenta la historia de una escalofriante casa denominada la casa de las sombras, por lo que, para mediados de los años cincuenta se presenta una terrible escena criminal de la actriz Brenda Lorillard y Ted Hughes. Después de lo sucedido, varias comunidades decidieron que sería bueno habitar ese hogar, sin embargo la mayoría se alejaba prontamente de ella ya que presenciaban algunos sonidos, y movimientos de objetos, dando a entender que el lugar estaba totalmente embrujado. Muchos pensaban que quizás eran las almas de la pareja rondando por todo el lugar.
Un día Jilly Meyer (amante a las arquitecturas antiguas) dueña de la actual casa, hija de Jackson Dean Meyer y hermana de Dean (se caracteriza por ser alguien callado) y Rachel-Ann (inestable mentalmente, vacía sus tristezas en el alcohol y cigarro) decidió quedársela, realmente no le importaba si estaba o no hechizada. Jilly se había enamorado tanto del lugar, que había olvidado lo inestable que estaba, ella sabía que pronto su amada iba a ser derribada por su millonario padre para construir una mejor edificación.
La trama es cada vez más interesante y bastante enredada, el cual presenta la cara de ambas historias, la de la protagonista principal y la pareja que había muerto en aquel lugar.
Después de tantas escenas. Jilly se da cuenta que se había enamorado de la mano derecha de Jackson, Coltrane; nuevo personaje, el cual se caracteriza por ser un hombre muy atractivo y fuerte. Coltrane decidió ser la mano derecha de Jackson con el objetivo de pagar por lo que el había hecho con su madre; asesinarla.
Nadie sabía lo que él quería, solo su ser. Pasó a ser el hombre vengativo a alguien que realmente no quería hacerle daño a nadie, él pensaba cobrársela con la hija querida de Jackson; Rachel-Ann, debido a que él era más especial con ella que con sus otros dos hijos.
Lo cierto de todo es que Jackson el padre frío, tenebroso y vengativo estaba enamorado de su propia hija, esto fue descubierto por el mismo Coltrane enterándose además que Rachel-Ann era su hermana, menos Jilly y Dean. Todo se intensificaba aún más, llegando el día en que Jackson muere ahogado en una piscina que se encontraba en la parte delantera de la casa al tropesarse el mismo y golpear bruscamente su cabeza en la orilla de donde estaba el contenido (resaltando que fue allí donde murió la madre de Coltrane y Ranchel-Ann, quien fue ahogada por el malvado Jackson)
Jilly y Coltrane deciden estar juntos. Rachel-Ann al ver lo que su padre pretendía hacer con ella, que era llevársela lejos de la ciudad; se sentía lo suficientemente tranquila al saber que ya no lo tendría a él. Teniendo la oportunidad de conocer al chico indicado. Por su parte, Dean elije vivir su vida.
Finalmente, con la pareja. Brenda decide confesarle a Tedd sobre qué había pasado aquel día. Resaltándole que su ex-esposa la había asesinado, cuando Brenda entró a la casa ya él estaba tendido en la cama muerto. Brenda se asomó en la ventana viendo como corría Adele la ex, con sus manos llena de sangre.
Brenda no podía tolerar la muerte de Tedd y decide suicidarse con el arma que había asesinado Adele a su amado. Mientras tanto, la Casa de las Sombras fue vendida para una sala de cine.
Sin más que decir, espero y hayan disfrutado ésta corta trama de éste gran libro.
These days reading doesn't seem as popular as it used to...Sure, people read, but more often than not the masses feel more inclined to listen to a podcast or watch a video. I like podcasts when I'm driving, but reading is my thing...I read a book a week, or so. It's great to see a young person so passionate about it.
Keep up the great work.
Hello @galenkp. Thank you very much for your words, very much appreciated.
And yes, I love to read, and thank you for appreciating it. I have a great library of books hehe, a little bit of everything. Truly, throughout my journey on the platform I will not miss any anecdote or reflection of each one of them.
A hug, and let's continue being great readers. ❣️
You're welcome...I came across you through my #weekend-engagement post from last week...Someone suggested I check you out...I did, and like what I see. :)
Keep it up!
This book is deep really a sick father to feel that way, if I'm reading about this book the right way correct me if I'm wrong
Hello @polarmystro. I totally agree with you. Jackson is a very evil character and hated by everyone around him except Rachel-Ann and Dean. I really love the plot of the book, I think I've already leafed through it like three times. Every time I re-read it, I get something new. Beyond the negative side, I would say that there is a great moral behind everything.
Everything in life pays off, Jackson believed that he could continue to do wrong to others, so life itself took care of organizing everything, and that family members were able to follow their lives in the right way.
Greetings, a hug
Thanks for the hug (:
