The Grosvenor’s Ghost

by Ruby Frisenda

Two years, five months and twenty-two days. That’s how long HRH Prince Arthur has been gone for. A lot can change in that time—a lot has changed. But as the clock chimes midnight on New Year’s Eve, and Arthur is spotted on British soil for the first time, their perfectly curated lives are about to change. Lady Phoebe Cadogan has moved on. Herself and Digby Beaufort II have been on the front cover of every headline and magazine for two years. Things are different now. She’s made new friends, lost old friends and built new relationships. They’ve made a life together now, Digby and Phoebe. And although she may still long for the boy she fell in love with when she was five-years-old, can she really bring herself to walk back into Arthur’s life? The Grosvenor name is on the line. Scandals have been made and ghosts have followed Arthur back to London. But they have a love that was carved on the walls by the Greek Gods before us so nothing can keep them apart…right?

Are you joking?… I just wasted so much time reading this for that ending?… I was angry through this entire book because truthfully it’s the dumbest plot. Phoebe is an idiot. The self sacrifice and self sabotage was so unnecessary. She’s actually a horrible person. And Arthur?… he is the exact same. It’s like watching two of the worst people justify every heinous crime with “but it’s love.” I regret reading this.

Can’t say I liked this one better than the first book. And I know that sounds weird because it’s literally them doing the same thing to themselves all over again but this time I think I was tired of the whole act. Maybe it’s because I really want to like Arthur and Phoebe, I want to see them be with each other because they say they truly love each other but why did we spend more than half of the book with them knowing that but doing nothing to have that. And involving someone else for no good reason. I felt like it was a waste of time. Honestly I think I’ve lost taste for them and at this point their toxic is bad for even themselves. I see only one option for them, stay together and frustrate each other until they realise that they don’t really love each other and it’s more like a trauma bond.
I also was not happy about so many things that were raised but we’re not explored. Like why bring it up if we’re not going to get explanations for it. I don’t think I’ll be reading book 3 except if there’s some growing up on their paths. But overall it started out great but they lost me in book 2

This book was very good, I just didn’t love it as much as the first one. I feel like we didn’t get as much of a storyline. We kind of just focused on most of the same things for every chapter. It wasn’t as emotional, beautiful, and drama filled. Even before the last chapter, it felt unfinished. I get it’s a cliff hanger or whatever but it just seemed poorly done. But I still loved the characters and loved hanging out in this world for a bit. I will definitely pick up the next one when/if it comes out.

what an absolute fucking shitshow. was told by the author herself that this book would help explain the whole condom fiasco in book 1 but of course, there was no explanation, just a bunch of utter crap. arthur is a cunt and phoebe pisses me off. will not be reading book 3
