**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | A Hauntingly Beautiful Tale: "The Ghosts of Gwendolyn Montgomery"**

If you’re looking for a story that grabs your heart and doesn’t let go, *The Ghosts of Gwendolyn Montgomery* is it. From the first chapter, I was pulled into the eerie, yet enchanting world of Gwendolyn and her hidden past. The author masterfully blends suspense, drama, and just the right amount of romance to create a page-turner that’s impossible to put down.

The story’s atmosphere is rich and moody, but it’s the characters that shine. Gwendolyn is a beautifully complex protagonist—grappling with her past while facing ghosts (both literal and figurative) with incredible resilience. I found myself rooting for her through every twist and revelation.

The pacing is perfect, keeping you hooked as the layers of mystery are peeled back. And the ending? Wow. It was both satisfying and thought-provoking, lingering with me long after I closed the book.

If you enjoy stories with depth, emotion, and a hint of the supernatural, you’ll fall in love with *The Ghosts of Gwendolyn Montgomery*. This is storytelling at its finest. Highly recommend!

This is a five star read across the board. It is thrilling, suspenseful and has a really unique spin. This urban fantasy has a good amount of spookiness and mystery, while also being full of heart and emotion. I loved the internal and external conflicts that she is facing while trying to deal with a day job and supernatural obligations. I think this book is so well done and I cannot wait to read what the author writes next. Their perspective and ideas seem to be very refreshing.

This was an ARC I took my time reading and enjoyed every second of. There was humor, intrigue, stakes, excellent haracter development, computer talk, and it made my palms sweat!

I loved this book so incredibly much and am excited to check out other books by them and follow them on their journey as this author is incredibly talented.

The cover took me immediately as it’s gorgeous and I love the bright bold colors. Everything about this book is a work of art and I am so grateful I was able to read it before its release! I highly recommend this one.

Thank you to Net Galley for giving me a free eARC copy to read. This is my own honest feedback I am leaving voluntarily. Thank you!!!

This is an absolutely brilliant novel that I absolutely adored from start to finish. Its deep and emotional and has a mysterious heart. Gorgeous imagery.

The Ghosts of Gwendolyn Montgomery was a great read that kept me on my toes. I loved the way that Haynes weaved indigenous diasporic knowledge into the novel. It was packed full of conflict: family, romantic, spiritual, to name a few. It is told from two POVs and once the individual stories combine its a wild ride to save NYC. I really enjoyed it.

I went into this book not really knowing what to expect and wow y’all, this was really good! I won’t say too much because I don’t want to spoil it, but the mystery and metaphysical lore of El Intermedio really built this story. At first I was like ehh where are we going? Then I was invested in finding out what the source of the spooky presence was over NY. But when that plot twist hit? It hit!!! Loved the dual POV. Loved the jumps back and forth in time. Loved the characters and world building. Really enjoyed the writing overall.

If you like ghost stories with a lil humor and surprising spice, then this one is for you!

Thank you to NetGalley, Grand Central Publishing and Legacy Lit for granting me a copy of this E-Arc. All opinions are my own.

This is the kind of book where i had no idea where it was going but was compulsed to hold on tight to see, and wow was the journey worth it. This is a strongly driven character narrative and every introduced character was well written. Honestly I could probably enjoy more time in this world seeing how their relationships change after the events of the book if given the chance. That being said I really enjoyed everything about this book, the lore, humor, mysticism and the storytelling were all really well developed. I truly had fun reading the book and am looking forward to seeing what Mx. Haynes comes up with next.

Ok first can we get a moment for the cover of this beautiful book. I loved everything about it and read this in one sitting. I just couldnt put it down. I love magical realism and entering a beautiful fun world like this. I also love the Bronx and loved that it was mentioned in this book. I needed a urban fantasy style world to jump into and this was it. Perfection.

The Ghosts of Gwendolyn Montgomery by Clarence A. Haynes is a beautifully crafted tale of history, mystery, and redemption. Set in a sprawling, haunted estate, the story explores the secrets of Gwendolyn Montgomery’s life and the lingering spirits tied to her past. Haynes’ evocative prose and richly atmospheric setting immerse readers in a world where the lines between the living and the dead blur. With a compelling mix of intrigue and emotional depth, this novel is a must-read for fans of gothic fiction and poignant storytelling

From the very first page, I was completely captivated by the world the author so skillfully built. The mix of mysticism, suspense, and dark humor drew me in instantly. Gwendolyn’s life as a powerful New York publicist with a hidden, mystical past was fascinating, and her journey into the realm of the dead was both gripping and mysterious. The author is an exceptional storyteller, weaving unexpected twists, rich characters, and mounting tension that kept me eagerly turning pages. I particularly enjoyed the balance of glamour and danger in Gwendolyn’s life, with Fonsi adding the perfect amount of supernatural drama. This book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a thrilling, otherworldly adventure. It’s truly unforgettable!
