The Ghosts of Gwendolyn Montgomery by Clarence A. Haynes

adventurous funny mysterious medium-paced

Publication Date: June 17, 2025

Narration: 4.5/5🌟

Story: 4/5🌟

This was such a fun read, with so many secrets, and hidden agendas. I went into this completely blind, and I LOVED every minute of it! Fonsi was the character I truly loved in the story. I felt more connected to how he felt dealing with the men in the real world, and how he just wanted his mother to understand that he was special too. The scene with Amade was spicyyyyyyyy, and I was throughly entertained!!! I also enjoyed the cousin/friendship dynamic that was slowly rekindled between Fonsi and Gwendolyn. My girl Gwendolyn just couldn’t catch a break! Gwendolyn is the character who really went through the most intense moments of loss, manipulation, confusion, and just overall lack of genuine love. But through everything she perseveres and shines brighter than she ever had before, and truly remembers who she REALLY is….and that’s, THAT GIRL!!!! 

The narrators did an amazing job and really brought the characters to life, especially during the Spanish dialogue. I loved Fonsi’s voice in the story. The voices were so good, that some parts of the story really gave me the chills… and I had to finish reading when I saw a little sun shining through the curtains. 

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, Clarence A. Haynes, and Hachette Audio for the opportunity to listen to this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
