The Ghosts of Gwendolyn Montgomery: A Novel
by Clarence A. Haynes
dark
emotional
medium-paced
Loveable characters:
Yes
Thank you to NetGalley & Grand Central Publishing for this e-ARC!
First of all, the COVER? Gorgeous.
I immediately wanted to read it & I was not disappointed!
When I seen that the genres were LGBTQ+ & multicultural interests surrounding Afro-Latinx spirituality… I knew that this read would have me SAT.
This fast-paced story takes you from the dual perspectives of the FMC & MMC. Both characters were written with such layering personalities that I walked away with a soft spot for both of them.
There were references from my hometown, PG County, & that’s always a plus.
The references to Black spirituality felt familiar and authentic. I enjoyed that element the most. It isn’t something you see too often and done well like the author did with this novel.
It was an enjoyable read and one that I would recommend if you are into Black sci-fi x fantastical elements with a heavy sprinkle of Latinx culture and spirituality references.
