Thank you netgalley and the publisher for giving me an early copy of this book to read and review. All thoughts are my own.

Kaylie could write down her grocery list and I would pay big bucks to read it.

I thought I was obsessed with Phantasma and Blackwell but NO!! Rowin has me in the kinky chokehold possible. Dare I say this is my favorite read so far in 2025.

The plot was fun and very different from book one. I am inlove with all of the characters. I seriously need a book on each Silver sibling because they are incredible. The spicy was SPICY and I just wanted more.

I 1,000,000 percent recommend this book and also volunteer as tribute to be an early reader for book 3.

5 devilish stars!!!

Kalylie Smith has cast her spell on me the second time around! She wowed me with Phantasma and I continued to be enchanted, enamored, and dazzled by Enchantra! It is gripping, sexy, dark, dangerous, magical, and deadly. I was once again swept away and into the wonderful gothic world that Kaylie Smith has created. I enjoyed her cast of characters, the atmosphere, the setting (mainly in Italy), the danger, and the scent of romance in the air!

Enchantra focuses on Genevieve Grimm who intercepts an invitation meant for her mother and travels to Italy in hopes of attending a gala at a beautiful palace. But this is not Cinderella's story, it's Genevieve's story and it is far from a fairy tale!

She is met by Rowin Silver, a tall, dark, and handsome man who is incredibly rude and warns her to stay away. But she is determined, headstrong, and curious and enters the grand home. Apparently, no one warned Genevieve what curiosity did to the cat! What she finds is a dark family that is caught in a deadly and twisted game. She must play or be trapped there. She and Rowin come up with a plan and an allegiance. Genevieve will soon wonder if their wicked games will be enough to win?

Holy Moly! Fans of Phantasma will love Enchantra as well! As I mentioned it has the same dark, deadly, wicked, twisted, and sexy vibe flowing throughout the book. I was never a big fantasy book reader but there are certain authors who have cast their magical spells on me and Kaylie Smith is one of them!

I enjoyed the banter, the chemistry, the world building, the twists, the tension, the dread, the danger, and the vivid descriptions in this book. I also enjoyed the magical aspect and Genevieve's spunk and courage. Plus, this book ends in a way that in my opinion left room for another book in the series. **wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

Fans of fantasy, dark romance, enemies to lovers romance books will fall head over heels for this one. I know I did.

I was lucky enough to have both the kindle and audiobook version of Enchantra!!! Laura Horowitz narrated this book (she narrated Phantasma as well) and did a fabulous job of bringing the characters to life!!

Wonderfully written, dark, sexy, and left me wanting more!!!!

Oh my gosh. Kaylie Smith has done it again! The Wicked Games series is becoming one of my new favorites. I had no idea how she would spin this after the success Phantasma is. Especially with the games aspect. However, Enchantra was everything and more! Vivi went off on her own vacation to Rome, but quickly found herself outside of Enchantra’s gates when crows would not stop croaking at her to go to the estate. Vivi quickly meets Rowin Silver who is mysteriously handsome AND with a lip ring 🤭 Once inside Enchantra, Vivi realizes she can’t leave because of a curse placed on the estate which states any person who steps foot into the home becomes part of The Hunt, a game where you literally get hunted to the death. I loved all of Rowin’s siblings and also how the door is still open for each of their own stories. I wonder who’s next? Maybe Sevin? I can’t wait to find out!

Thank you to netgalley and forever publishing for an e-arc in exchange for my honest opinion!

I loved this book! I read the first book in this series and I was so excited to read the second one, the world is beautifully written and fun to read.

5 ⭐️ An Enchanting, Deadly Masterpiece!

Read: 5 🌟 Forehead kisses to the entire teams at Forever and Second Sky and Kaylie for inviting me to read Enchantra early, I’m in awe of this masterpiece!!

An Enchanting, Deadly Masterpiece!

Kaylie has only gone and done it again, and I’m simply in awe. This was a phenomenal masterpiece, five out of five fucking stars, pleaaase, understand if I could rate this higher, I absolutely would.

I absolutely loved Phantasma, it was one of my favourite reads of 2024, and Kaylie has only done it again with Enchantra; I simply was enchanted! This was uniquely different from Phantasma; from finding her own path, with everything that had happened in Phantasma, to wanting to learn more about the mystery surrounding her late mother, she goes to Enchantra, and meets Rowin, and his family, and thus entering a deadly new game.

Throw in my all time favourite trope; marriage of convenience, but one where Genevieve is trapped in a deadly game with her new husband and her in-laws, who are trying to unalive her.

This was gritty, fast paced; another page turning read that left me holding my breath after each hunt, and the twist towards the end, just wow. I loved it, I loved the appearances of my babies Blackwell and Ophelia!

Rowin, wow, just wow. Here I was salivating over Blackwell, and rightfully so, I always will, but tattooed, pierced and broody, shadow-daddy Rowin has entered the chat, and I love, love that man. Like I’m feral, obsessed and did I mention that he’s pierced, Genevieve, you lucky, lucky woman!

I loved their relationship, even when they were enemies, the angst and slow burn was addictive. I was about bursting at the seams whenever they were verbally sparring, because Genevieve was nobody’s fool. Their tender moments were so precious, and I especially loved when Rowin used his shadows on Genevieve!!

And can we talk about Rowin’s siblings? I’m obsessed with the Silver family, even if they were out to kill Genevieve. I have so many questions, so many theories, and I need more of them. Hopefully, there’s more to come! I need to process the last quarter of the ending, and everything surrounding Salem 🥹

Pre-read: I’m still pinching myself that the publishers sent me an arc of my most anticipated read of 2025 😭😭

This was such a fun sequel. Compared to the first in liked how the plot was more balanced with the spice. The ending was adorably sweet. I did feel like the "dark" aspect was a bit light compared to the first, but thier was more tension and build up with the relationship. I felt that thier was more loose ends at the end of this one which makes me hope the next one with pick up from where we left off.

Thank you for the arc opportunity!! I did enjoy reading this. It was fun to read about vivi and I really liked rowin’s character. Well done!

OH this was good! I was eating up it like no tomorrow. The mmc with tattoos, piercing and banter is crazy good. The chemistry between them was delicious and very intriguing. I have to say Kaylie is writing banger after banger. "marriage" due to fake dating is wild on its own. Touch her and die vibes were 100% Rowin motives. I still cant believe that this little trip of hers turned out to be more than it shouldve been.

Truly a good story to be read here and will be waiting for Kaylies next book!


A huge thanks to netgalley for this ARC.

I’ve been officially enchanted with “Enchantra”! Kaylie Smith has crafted the perfect blend of paranormal horror, enchanting fantasy, and sizzling romance. This book is a dark, delicious treat that kept me hooked from the very first page. I just had so much fun reading this book.

Let's talk about Genevieve. She's an absolute powerhouse. Her tenacity in the face of unimaginable adversity, especially when confronting the sinister force behind Enchantra, is truly inspiring. But she's not just tough; she's also incredibly caring. Smith beautifully balances these qualities, creating a protagonist who feels real and relatable.

And then there's Rowin. fans self Yum. A man who wields shadows for… let's just say, pleasurable purposes? Yes, please, may I have another! The chemistry between Genevieve and Rowin is off the charts. Their connection, despite the short time they've known each other, feels incredibly genuine. I was completely invested in their relationship.

The climax of “Enchantra” delivers on every front. Action? Check. Tension? Absolutely. Romance? In spades. And angst? Prepare to have your heartstrings thoroughly tugged. It's an emotional rollercoaster that culminates in a truly beautiful and satisfying ending. All plot threads are neatly resolved, yet Smith cleverly leaves the door open for future stories in this captivating world.

While I have to admit that “Phantasma” is still my favorite in the series (Blackwell, need I say more?), “Enchantra” is a stunning achievement in its own right. It's a must read for anyone who loves dark fantasy with a side of scorching romance. If you're looking for a book that will leave you breathless and begging for more, look no further.

Thank you to NetGalley and Second Sky Books for the ARC of one of my most anticipated books of 2025!

Phantasma was one of my absolute top reads of 2024, so Enchantra had some big shoes to fill—and I’m so thrilled to say it absolutely delivered!

This time, we dive into Genevieve’s story, and I was completely hooked from the beginning. It was fascinating to see how her personal arc unfolded alongside the enigmatic Silver family. While the book definitely shares the same haunting, gothic atmosphere that I loved in Phantasma, Enchantra still manages to carve out its own space. The themes felt slightly darker, more introspective.

The family dynamics, particularly between the Silver siblings added another layer of tension and intrigue to the story.

The only reason this wasn’t a full five stars for me was the ending—it felt a little rushed and came somewhat out of nowhere. I found myself wishing for a few more chapters to really let the conclusion breathe and settle. That said, it wasn’t a bad ending by any means—it still wrapped things up in a satisfying way, and left just enough threads for me to be curious about what might come next.

Overall, Enchantra is a stunning sequel that will absolutely satisfy fans of Phantasma.

Enchantra follows Genevieve Grimm on her Italian getaway where she tries to find out more information about her family. When she winds up at the estate of a mysterious friend of her late mother, her world turns upside down. Forced to participate in a deadly game, Genevieve finds herself captivated by her loathsome partner and tries to stay alive long enough to win.

If you love the movie Ready or Not like me, then this book is for you!! There are such strong vibes and similar scenes to that movie but with a more dark and magical twist. It was SO fun!! This was a great follow up to Phantasma. The author managed to create such interesting and captivating games that keep you on the edge of your seat. And the ending was so good. I really love how everything tied up and seriously hope there’s a third book!

Genevieve was a great mc, although I think I prefer Ophelia as I found her more relatable. But Genevieve is still so great and I loved how snarky and bold she was. She’s really strong and I loved seeing her hold her own. Rowin was everything!!! Such a swoony and lovely love interest! Their scenes together were so steamy and full of electric chemistry. I also really enjoyed Rowin’s siblings, especially Ellin. Also the familiars!! Such a cute and fun addition to this one.

Overall, if you loved Phantasma or love the movie Ready or Not, you’ll love this one!

Thank you to Second Sky and Netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

I am always cautiously optimistic with sequels to books I absolutely adore, but Enchantra did live up to the hype. Although I was not a fan of Genevive in book 1, I think this book was able to capture her in a way that provided much more insight. I enjoyed that this was also another game in the world, showing how expansive the devils networks are really. I would have loved to see Ophelia and Blackwell play more of a role especially among the devils and demons.

The gothic mysterious game play kept me most interested in continuing. Creating it more of within the family helped our side characters be more connected to the storyline than the previous game. I am excited to see more within this world and tying it all together.

When it comes to the love between Genevive and Rowan I thought it was the perfect balance of sass and lust that provided a slow burn within the game, the ending left me heartbroken after seeing how far they came and having to basically start over.

4.5 stars
thank you Forever publishing

I was excited for this book because I absolutely devoured Phantasma. This story follows Genevieve Grimm as she finds herself yet again at another mysterious house. That part was a bit hard to believe as well as the romance between her and the love interest Rowin. Ngl, I wasn’t into the romance or the main characters but I really loved all the side characters and how they interacted. The situation they found themselves dealing with kept me glued to the story to see how it would all turn out. I’m eager for another book that focuses more on the odd family dynamic and the answers they seek. 3 stars for the MC and 5 stars for the family.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc

Thank you so much to Second Sky and NetGalley for an ARC in return for an honest review!

4,25 stars - Hide and seek but make it sexy, deadly and occasionally terrifying

Living up to the first book of the series, and introducing an all new lovable cast I am now lowkey obsessed with, Enchantra was fun and exciting through the whole journey.

Genevieve is feisty and girly, and I loved getting to know her better. She’s stubborn, curious, a little reckless and altogether a lot of fun as a main character.
I especially loved seeing a female main character get to be girly and a little vain when it comes to her own looks, without it ever being presented or treated as something negative or detrimental. It’s just a part of her personality and something that is allowed to matter to her.

“But Enchantra was not made of gold. Just ruthless Silvers.”

The Silver siblings are officially one of my favourite sibling flocks in all of fiction. They’re hilarious, loyal, unhinged, and I would love to read more about them. Rowin was an excellent counterpart to Genevieve as the focus of this book, but I would give a LOT to see Sevin and Covin get their own stories as well. They won me over instantly.

“I know you must feel like things are out of control. Like you’re constantly being used or played with. That’s the nature of being under a Devil’s thumb.”

The game part of the book was exciting and made a great stage for the love story that unfolded between the two mains. The world of the paranormal that the author has created continues to be intriguing, and the costumes of the time period the story is set in continue to dazzle me.
I had a really good time with this book!

What a fun book! I was really excited to read this after the amazing time I had reading Phantasma, and it didn't disappoint.

I am in love with the world; it is gothic, mysterious and dark. It also had the same feeling as Phantasma, but at the same time it felt quite different and unique.

There was a nice balance of plot, romance and smut. I loved the premise of the games and it was quite jarring seeing all the brothers fighting to the death.

I really liked Genevieve; she was a confident and strong woman.
The relationship between Genevieve and Rowin was sweet and hot at the same time.
I loved all of the side characters (Rowin´s family); they all had really amazing personalities and little quirks and flaws that make them really unique.

The ending was very tense and I was so anxious throughout the last chapters.
I am so excited for the possibility of more books in this world, and I can't wait to read them.

Quotes:
“She’d long given up the hope that someone with a white horse would ever come to save her. But that didn't mean she couldn't be the knight in shining armor for herself. For them.”

“I want you to know, I really would have waited for you, right here, forever if that's what it would have taken. I would have stood in this spot until I could no longer distinguish my own soul from the shadows. Until your light came back to me.”

As someone who absolutely adored phantasma, I went into this with high expectations and I have to say I was not disappointed. The female main character was engaging and the fact that she represented women who were not “perfect” or stick thin was appreciated as well. The storyline was a lot of fun and I binged this book in just a couple sittings. Another great book from Kaylie Smith

If you enjoyed the first book in the series, Phantasma , you will like this as well. This story has it all hexes, demons, and a terrific plot. Our heroine stumbles upon a cursed house. Every year the occupants have to do competition held by a demon. The losers are stuck in hell until the year is up and the game begins again. Our heroine Genevieve enters the house only to find herself stuck with this year’s game. This is not normally a genre that I pick to read but I’m so glad I read this!

4.25⭐️
I loved Enchantra even more than Phantasma! I absolutely loved the vibe of this one and felt like the storyline hooked me way more. My one thing was that the “waiting and hiding” for most of the games got a little boring. We did get to see the couple really connect during those scenes, which was nice, but I was hoping that it was similar to book 1 with each game being different. Aside from that, I really loved reading this one!

In "Enchantra" by Kaylie Smith, I was thoroughly captivated by the unique perspective of Genevieve. The narrative is well-crafted and keeps the reader engaged from start to finish. Smith's ability to weave together intricate plotlines with compelling characters makes this book a must-read for fantasy enthusiasts. "Enchantra" is a brilliant addition to any library collection, and I would highly recommend it to those who appreciate imaginative and detailed fantasy worlds. I give it a full 5 out of 5 stars.

I was absolutely over the moon when I got approved to read this on NetGalley! Phantasma left me desperately needing more.

Enchantra is full of twists and turns. And the only way out of this game is by winning!

Lots of family drama, witty come backs, banter, gore and the ultimate house of horrors!

I absolutely love a dark romance and this book met every expectation.
