A great sequel to “Phantasma”! I thoroughly enjoyed Genevieve’s story. Some parts were a bit repetitive/similar to Book 1 (trials), but it’s still a great standalone book. There were a lot of formatting errors for the ARC, which did make it difficult to read, but this likely will be fixed for the final version!

I would like to thank NetGalley and Second Sky/Forever for allowing me to read an eARC of this book.

I have been a fan of Kaylie Smith ever since reading Phantasma, and I was so excited to find out this book was coming out and to get my hands on a copy to read! Enchantra is Book 2 of the Wicked Games duology, and is full of morally gray love interests, spunky heroines, some fake dating, enemies-to-lovers, deadly games and lots of secrets. If you love books by Kerri Maniscalco and/or the movie Ready or Not, this book is for you!

The story follows Geneveive, who receives an invitation to go to Italy. But when she arrives at the palace, she is told by the handsome Rowin, the owner's son, to leave and not return. Does Geneveive listen? Of course not. And then Geneveive realizes her mistake, as she is pulled into a deadly family game of Hide and Seek. She and Rowin must work together if she has any hope of escape. It's win or die, and you can trust no one, not even your own heart.

This book (series) will be your next romantasy obsession! I highly recommend it to anyone who likes sark romances and a little bit of spice in their reads. Add this one to your TBR! You won't be disappointed!

"Ready or Not" meets ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART and THRONE OF THE FALLEN in this deliciously dark sequel to PHANTASMA. The stakes were even higher, the vibes even more impeccable, and the romance even steamier. I loved the setting, the whimsical prose, and the twisty high-stakes competition, and I can't wait to see where the series goes next!

Smith is the only writer to match the magic of Stephanie Garber for me but combines that charm with spicy romance and gory dark fantasy plots. The only small gripes I had were that the start was a bit slow and there were a lot of characters to keep track of; while some readers enjoy large casts, it's not my absolutely favorite. 4 stars for this delightful read that I binged in 24 hours!

Thank you to Second Sky Books for providing me with an early copy in exchange for an honest review.

What a spectacular sequal to Phantasma! Enchantra quite possibly surpasses her predecessor in new and devious ways.


This story focuses in on the younger of the two Grimm sisters Genevieve. On a mission to Italy Vivi goes in search of people like her, lead only by letters sent to her dead mother. Instead of finding answers she ends up trapped in another devil's game. Trapped in a house with an Immortal family tasked with killing each other for the entertainment of devil's and demons, Vivi does everything she can to survive even losing hear very heart and soul.

I adored so much about this book. The new angle on the games/ trials. It felt familiar but different enough from Phantasma to not be repetitive. Genevieve has some heavy character development and its lovely to have a FMC who is a regular size. The highly disfunctional family that is the Silvers had me constantly wanting to learn more about them. I am excited that book 3 has been set up, there is so many lose ends left to tie up and answer I need!

You will love this if you love

Okay where to start ?

The vibes of this were immaculate and I loved every second. It was creepy and dark.

I was a bit disappointed in the so called "game" of this book. It was so boring and not much happened..there wasn't much excitement.
They just ran to a room and played hide and seek the whole time.. not even hide and seek just running to a room and staying there for hours at a time. The whole time Genevieve and Rowan would play the same game which was two truths and a lie and then they would screw. It was so copy and paste every single round.


Genevieve also got hurt nearly every round and was near death to which rowin had to bargain to save her from it. The relationship between them didn't feel very genuine ? It felt forced in my opinion it was strictly a sexual relationship. I cringed at so many parts of the spicy scenes and I just skimmed for most of those parts.

The siblings of the silver family were the highlight of this book especially sevin.. he was my favorite and he had the banter and comedic relief this story needed.
It was also nice to see a cameo of Ophelia and Salem near the end of the book.

Overall I thought this book was ok, I didn't enjoy it as much as phantasma but if you want the vibes this is perfect.

Thank you netgalley for the arc.

I really like Phantasma Book one but I Loved Enchantra. This book had me captivated right from the start. I didn't want to put it down. It is fast paced with constant action and fun entertaining games. There is the perfect amount of spice, laughter and stress. This is hands down one of my favourite books of the year. I love Rowin but I also want mini stories about all the siblings. They would make the perfect novel. Especially Graves. Overall this gave my umbrella Academy meets beast games feels. No one is safe everything maters and everyone has power.

This was a fun follow up to Phantasma, and I must say I think this one is an improvement on the first! The second book follows Ophelia's sister, Genevieve, who has traveled to Rome after receiving an invitation from one of her mother's former acquaintances. Genevieve hopes to find answers about the necromancer bloodline and magic, and what it means for her to have magic as the second (Spare) daughter.

She arrives at an estate at an inopportune time. It turns out her mother's former acquaintance is the familiar of a demon, and that demon forces his 7 immortal children to compete yearly in the Hunt where they fight to the death, except since they are immortal, they are cursed to serve the demon in Hell for the rest of the year until the next Hunt. The familiar accidentally locked his children into this eternal and hellish competition in exchange for medicine for his ailing wife, who is also a demon! Genevieve is trapped on the estate and forced to fight to the death, but since she is mortal the stakes are that much higher for her. She's forced into marriage to one of the familiar's sons, Rowin, because of course there's a marriage "loophole" in the demon's game - if they can both win, they both earn their freedom. Rowin hasn't lost the Hunt in 15 years, but he has ulterior motives and how can Genevieve survive this Ready or Not situation against immortals with magic, deadly enchanted rooms in the estate, and a demon of Hell who wants to watch her suffer?

Overall, this was entertaining. I enjoyed this more than the first one because it was slightly less smut which made the plot better, imo! And this one is clearly setting up for something bigger in the upcoming books. One thing I noticed, however, is that there were some things that were mentioned but kind of just left hanging. Rowin is one of 7 children, and he has a twin, Remi, and they despise each other. Does this get resolved or explored with any serious depth? No! And I fear that the next book will not be following Remi or Rowin but maybe one of the other Silver siblings...who knows. One of the weaknesses from the first book was tying threads together. There are definitely some holes in the plot like the first, although not as bad. Hopefully this improves as the series continues.

Absolutely loved! This was such a fun time. We get trials, a steamy fake dating romance and mystery. Plus it's set in Italy.

I thought the trials were unique and clever. The plot was fast moving and kept me intrigued. The romance was set up well and I really enjoyed the dynamic between Geneveive and Rowin. Their banter was fantastic and their chemistry was off the charts hot. Plus the steamy scenes really delivered *phew*.

If you liked the movie Ready or Not but would like it with a fantasy element, look no further than Enchantra. Readers are gonna devour this one!

This series is genuinely everything. I knew as soon as I read Phantasma that I needed the next installment asap. Rowin is top tier and everything a girl could want. I mean... deadly games always win me over but throw in the estate and the way imagery was used throughout to make things so realistic? Yes please. Genevieve could be frustrating at times lol but hey, I'm not always the smartest either. Enchantra took hold of me and kept me entertained throughout.
This was so different from Phantasma but and I loved both so much. I'm now determined that Kaylie can do no wrong with romantasy.

ALLLLLLL THE FEELINGS 😭🥺 this book was everything. One thing Kaylie will always deliver is banter! The sass in this one is unmatched. I lost count of how many time I choked on my water from some of these lines 😂🤭 and don’t even get me started on all the micro tropes I WAS SAT! (I will keep my review vague until a few weeks after release day ❤️)


I just received the ARC this morning and I already finished!! I am beyond thankful for receiving a copy. If Kaylie writes it I’m going to read it 👏

An entertaining romantasy follow up to Phantasma. At first I was not sure I liked the FMC as much as her sister in the previous novel, but she quickly grew on me. A similar plot line including elements of drama, thriller, fantasy, romance, and mystery. I couldn't put this book down.

BOOM SHAKALAKA YES GODDDDDDD

Plot: 10/10
Vibes: off the charts

I love both Grimm sisters, but I think I especially love Vivi more. Her beautiful portrayal of digging yourself out of your own head and trusting that you have a heart worth fighting for really resonated with me. To see her accept her self worth and strengths was amazing to read.

I’m a SUCKER for marriage of convenience and this was 😋😋😋 Rowington is a down bad man and I love to see it. Seeing both of them come into their own together was also amazing to see.

This book was so good! I loved the concept of this game. I also enjoyed how Genevieve held her own and didn’t fully rely on Rowin the entire time. I really enjoyed my time reading it!

I was so excited to snag an early copy of Enchantra! I absolutely loved Phantasma and had been counting down the days until its release, so I was thrilled when I saw it available as a Read Now on NetGalley.

I really enjoyed getting Genevieve’s story, though I have to admit it didn’t grip me quite as much as Ophelia’s did. I devoured Phantasma in a day, but this one took me longer—mainly because I wasn’t as invested in the games. The idea of siblings being pitted against each other made me feel more sympathetic toward them rather than excited for their fates like I was in the first book.

That said, once I hit the halfway mark, the story really picked up for me. I loved watching Genevieve and Rowin’s relationship develop, as well as seeing her slowly win over the Silver siblings. The journey to Hell and the trick rooms in the game were fascinating, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the plot. And, of course, the spice spiced—hello, Shadow Daddy!

Overall, this was a fantastic read. I also loved the brief appearances from Salem and Ophie! Huge thanks to NetGalley and Second Sky/Forever for the eARC. Enchantra is a solid 4.5 stars, rounded up.

thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advanced copy. all opinions are my own.

first, let me say i genuinely loved this. it’s fun, fast paced, and the perfect read to just turn your brain off and enjoy. i want to be very clear that i highly recommend this book.

my real problem is that i really loved phantasma, and this was very different from phantasma, so all my complaints aren’t really complaints. enchantra is much more generic romantasy, and the horror element is a lot lighter, with lower stakes. it’s also surprisingly light on the spice for most of the book. it’s a great book in its own right, but don’t go in expecting another phantasma like i did.

that being said, the writing is strong and overall it’s very addicting. i found vivi a great main character, and i very much look forward to seeing more of rowin’s family in future books!

Enchantra is an absolutely captivating read that hooked me from the very first page. If you loved Phantasma as much as I did, you'll be thrilled with this latest installment. The author has truly outdone hers, creating an experience that feels both fresh and familiar, with new surprises around every corner.

One of the most exciting aspects of Enchantra is the new game introduced within its pages. The intricacies of the gameplay are fascinating, and it adds a unique layer of tension and excitement to the story. Alongside this, we're introduced to a whole host of new characters who are vibrant, complex, and so vividly described that I can already imagine the stunning character art they’ll inspire. The author’s ability to bring these personalities to life is nothing short of brilliant.

The world-building in Enchantra is an absolute masterclass. It’s seamlessly woven into the storyline, immersing readers without ever feeling like an info dump. The settings are rich and dynamic, serving as the perfect backdrop for the compelling plot. Speaking of which, the plot itself is an intricate and well-crafted tapestry. Every twist and turn kept me on the edge of my seat, and the stakes felt incredibly real. And the characters? They’re so relatable and well-developed that it’s impossible not to form a deep connection with them. You’ll laugh with them, cry with them, and root for them every step of the way.

For those who enjoy a bit of heat in their reads, Enchantra certainly delivers with just the right amount of spice. It’s tasteful, exciting, and fits naturally within rather than overpowering it.

I wholeheartedly loved this book. I can confidently see it becoming as beloved and popular as Phantasma. Enchantra is a triumph in every sense of the word, and I can’t recommend it enough!

I had so much fun with this one that I binged it in a day! Genevieve was so relatable and I think I’m slightly obsessed with Rowin now. I was initially worried that this would be too similar to Phantasma, but was quickly proved wrong. Would definitely recommend :)

Kaylie Smith did it again, but this time 10x better than it was the first time.

For anyone who read ‘Phantasma’ and loved it, be prepared for the epic sequel ‘Enchantra’- a swoon-worthy and sexy fantasy romance filled with twists and turns.

I did not expect to be charmed and absolutely seducted by this book the way I did. But it was an absolute masterpiece. ‘Enchantra’ now takes the story on Genevieve, Ophelia’s younger sister that went missing in the game, Phantasma, in book one. Genivive has her qualms and worries going on- especially about her mother- that leads her to a place called Enchantra. There she accidentally stumbles along the wrong kind of people, finding herself trapped until the game is over…and a marriage of convenience with the hottest man alive (Rowington).

This book has everything one could possibly want, banter, marriage of convenience, ‘that’s my wife’ trope, one room, angst and found family. This was a WONDERFUL book that had me aching for more in this universe. Kaylie Smith truly outdone herself with this one and I’m obsessed!

Ready or not - I was NOT ready for this masterpiece.

Enchantra brought the gory suspense, clever plot and a smoldering marriage of convenience romance that is just to die for.

Genevieve stole my heart - yes I know, never ever trust your heart - with her troublesome yet wickedly clever mouth. A plus-size FMC that knows her worth and doesn’t let her size minimize her confidence or place in this world. The fact that she was a bigger person did not play on her insecurities at all and I absolutely loved that. A true representation! 👏🏼

In need of an Umbra of my own thank you very much.

I absolutely loved Phantasma and to have read both of these all time favorites as ARC’s feels like I’ve won the lottery ❤️‍🔥 This is a deserving sequel that truly stands on its own and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

THANK YOU Second Sky and NetGalley for the review opportunity!

Kaylie Smith weaves a story that is as darkly enchanting as it is merciless. The tension is electric, the romance smolders, and every twist pulls you deeper until Enchantra owns you completely.
