this book was fun just like that first book! I dont think it brings anything new to the table but it's entertaining enough. the narration was great and dare I saw brings the book to another level!

Absolute crack! Whatever Kaylie has laced into this series has made it an unstoppable obsession. I'm more in love with Genevieve’s story than her sister’s! I absolutely love it when sequels are better than their predecessor. I’m so excited that there will be more from this series & can’t wait to get my hands on them! Also highly recommend the audio, Laura just adds that special pizazz giving the characters even more life.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bookoture Audio and the lovely author Kaylie Smith for this audio ARC of Enchantra!

Enchantra is the second book in the Wicked Games series (Phantasma) and follows the story of Genevieve (Ophelias sister) as she goes searching for answers about her mother, and herself, and ends up trapped in Enchantra, a high stakes cursed game similar to hide and seek except, well, more murdery, and the destination after death is hell itself. She's then forced to team up with Rowin, who, well... you'll see ;)

This book had me screaming from the beginning right until the end. Genevieve and Rowins chemistry far outmatches the chemistry between Ophelia and Blackwell, and I would give my left lung to be in that man's prescence. The banter between the two made me kick and scream like I was a teenager again, and her stubbornness reminds me so much of myself so she was such a relatable character for me

The game stakes are high, the tension is high, the spice is off the charts high, and if you loved phantasma you are going to devour this.

Once again Kaylie has smashed it out of the park and I'm very very excited for the next instalment! I will absolutely be buying a shelf trophy of this book.

4.5 ⭐️ If y’all loved Phantasma, you are going to eat up book 2 in the series!! Enchantra follows Genevieve, Ophelia’s sister, as she accepts an invitation from her mother’s mysterious friend - only to find herself trapped by a devil in a deadly game of hide and seek. To survive, she finds herself in a forced marriage with Rowin, as they try to find a way to win the game and break the curse trapping Rowin’s family in the games.

Slow burn, marriage of convenience (or marriage to survive 😅), enemies to lovers, and another book full of crazy games to survive- I will gladly read 100 more of these books. I listened to this arc, and thought the narrator did a fantastic job.

Thank you to NetGalley and read forever for the ALC!

This truly is a banger, the same magic that’s within the pages of Phantasma is also in Enchantra. I ate this up and Genevieve is my new favorite character. Enchantra follows Ophelia’s sister Genevieve, who finds herself in Italy drawn to a palace where someone is trying to keep her out. She finds her way inside and is now part of The Hunt. Another game hosted by a devil. A deadly version of hide and seek. There can only be one winner and she is playing with the ruthless Silver family who also happen to be wraiths. Only this time she is married to Rowington Silver out of conviene , they form an alliance where they have to fool everyone that they’re in love. There’s secret passages, deadly mazes, a fox, masquerade balls, piranhas, secret rooms, lots of mirrors and of course spice.

Because let’s be real we love a morally grey mmc who has shadow like powers and in this story the shadow wraith Rowin Silver who has a lip ring will have everyone crushing on him. I mean come on who doesn’t want a shadow daddy detangling their hair for him. What I love about this book is the found family, and the family dynamics of the Silver family. But most importantly Genevieve isn’t a chosen one, she has curves, confidence, asks a lot of questions, makes mistakes and we see her grow. Just like Phantasma this is a perfect book to read for the spooky/fall season.

Lastly the audiobook, omg its perfect Laura Horowitz deserves an award for her narration. This is a story I couldn’t stop listening to. She narrated Enchantra perfectly, I need to listen to all of her work. She just emobodies Genevieve so well.

Thank you second sky books for this ALC

This is the second book followed up from phantasma, which I rated 5 stars when I read it. Very good book. This book was good but not as good in my opinion.

Genevieve and Rowin agree to form an alliance. Fake dating. As the games go on, the relationship develops more but Genevieve isn’t sure if Rowin is playing games with her heart.

If you liked phantasma, you’ll enjoy this book.

Thanks netgalley and publisher for a chance to listen to this book for free in return for my honest opinion.

THIS. WAS. DELICIOUS.

I loved taking a trip down this incredibly convoluted game of devils, magic, and death. The narration for this audiobook was phenomenal and had me kicking my feet with glee. While I did think this was KIND OF a slower start, once the book took off about 20%~ in, it didn't stop until the very end. The twists, camaraderie among characters, and the spice were amazing. This series is so fun, and I can't wait for the third book!

Rowin and Genevieve are cute.

This book has fun moments 😊 and I did enjoy it.

I just didn't like it as much as the first one in the series. Mainly because I absolutely loved Ophelia and Blackwell but I didn't like Genevieve or Rowin as much.

I listened to the Audiobook and I enjoyed the narration and it kept me immersed in this world.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for an Audiobook ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

The way I absolutely DEVOURED this book!

I loved Phantasma, but Enchantra is my new favorite in the series! Kaylie Smith delivers in absolutely every way - each book just tops the previous one. I loved the way the characters played into the plot, and the banter!!! I absolutely adored Genevieve and her spark and fire, and Rowin is just everything. I hope we get peaks at him in the future, and at a few other characters that we were introduced to! I'm so curious as to whose story is going to be twisted by demons next!

Laura Horowitz's delivery of the story was absolutely fantastic! I love the depth that she gives the characters, and the inflections are always on-point. I know that whenever I see Laura's name it's going to be an instant favorite audiobook!

i loved this! i love this world so much, and kaylie smith is a genius. these books are totally enthralling and i love the magic system. plus the audio was AMAZING

Soo good! Dare I say better than the first book. I was not a fan of Genevieve in Phantasma, but now I love her! This book had it all! I never knew what was coming next. Kept me on my toes! I could not stop pistening

“Our vows may have said ‘eternally,’ but as I told you then, nothing is ever truly eternal. Except my longing for you.” ❤️‍🔥✨

This book devoured me. 🖤🔥 Following Genevieve (Ophelia’s sister from Phantasma), Enchantra took everything I loved about the first book and made it even better. The hunt in this book? Way more intense than the trials in Phantasma. The stakes are high—like love high. ❤️‍🔥 And the fact that the people of Hell are watching everything unfold through those eerie looking-glass mirrors? Obsessed. 👀

The Labyrinth vibes? Love, love, LOVE. 🌀✨ The environment is constantly shifting, keeping you on edge the whole time. It also gives Hunger Games energy with its brutal survival aspect and Ready or Not (deadly hide and seek) intensity. 7 deadly games—and everything is on the line. 😵‍💫🔥

Genevieve started off insufferable to me, but I grew to love her. She’s stubborn, strong, and her arc?? Chef’s kiss. ✨ Also, hello, curvy heroine representation—we love to see it! 🙌🏾💖 And Rowin? That guy. 🔥 A shadow-wielding MMC who’s 1 of 7 cursed siblings? Sign me up. Their fake relationship turned very real, and the tension was TENSIONING. 😮‍💨🔥 Touch her and die? Oh, he took that literally. 👀

Also—sibling drama, found family, two outcasts finding each other—ugh, my heart. 💔 I desperately need a prequel on Barrington Silver and Tessie Grimm—their story has to be insane. 👀❤️

I need more of this world ASAP, I’m soooo sat for book 3!!🖤🔥✨

I love this author and this series, it is so much fun!! Second installment in the wicked games series focused on Genevieve, and I loved her characterization and growth throughout the novel. Marriage of convenience is my favorite troupe, so I allllllwaysss eat it up. I loved the new cast of characters in the novel, and loved all of the fun sibling dynamics this had to offer. Overall, just had a really good time! I think I may have enjoyed more if I read versus listening, but felt that the audio narration was easy to listen to and engaging. Can’t wait for the next one!!!!

Thank you to Bookoture and NetGalley for an advanced listener copy in exchange for an honest review

I was absolutely BLOWN out of the water by this book and by the narration. This is probably one of my top listens of the year. NOt only was it well written but there were places I think that my heart STOPPED BEATING because of the tension. The peril, the decisions, the passion--Kaylie Smith sure knows what she's doing with these books!

*Enchantra* is the kind of book that pulls you in from the very first page and doesn’t let go. This book takes the intrigue and tension to new heights while still delivering on the unforgettable chemistry between its main characters.

Genevieve Grimm is a force to be reckoned with. After her sister becomes the head of the family, Genevieve feels like she’s adrift, so when a mysterious invitation to Italy comes her way, she jumps at the chance. But what she expects—a glamorous escape filled with passion and luxury—is quickly turned upside down when Rowin Silver, the fiercely handsome and brooding son of the palace’s owner, slams the door in her face. Rowin, though infuriatingly rude, is undeniably captivating, and their push-and-pull dynamic had me hooked. The tension between them is electric—she’s not about to let some arrogant man (gross) tell her what to do, and that defiance makes her such an enjoyable heroine.

The concept of the book is what really sets it apart. The Silver family is trapped in an insidious game of “hide and seek,” where only one person can win, and the rest face eternal punishment. Genevieve must decide whether to join the game or risk being trapped forever, but her best chance of survival is Rowin—who, despite his secrets and dark past, reluctantly becomes her partner in a fake marriage that serves as a cover for their alliance. The labyrinth they must navigate is both literal and metaphorical, as they face twisted challenges, mysterious family dynamics, and their undeniable attraction to each other.

This book was so fun and I loved how seamlessly it combines danger, romance, and mystery. The plot is fast-paced and filled with twists, but it’s the growing relationship between Genevieve and Rowin that really steals the show. I loved watching them go from enemies to reluctant allies, and their banter and tension were some of the best parts of the book. Rowin, the quintessential broody MMC, is so much more than just a handsome face—there’s depth to him that gradually reveals itself, and it kept me invested in his character until the very end. As for Genevieve? She’s an absolute powerhouse. She's fierce, independent, and unapologetically herself, which made her such a refreshing protagonist.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️
Instantly hooked
Banter: *chef’s kiss*
Marriage of convenience: Done right
Trials: savage AF
Plot twist: got me again, I did not see it coming!
I am so excited for everything to come in the future from Kaylie Smith

The audio was fantastically well done the narrator did an amazing job bringing all the characters to life, and telling the story
Thank you to Netgalley, and the publisher for allowing me the opportunity to listen to this one early!

Enchantra is just as fun as Phantasma but better because the found family trope will always be top tier.
I was hooked on this storyline once the marriage of convenience took place. This was so much fun, and I am eagerly awaiting book 3. Which brother will it be about, though? I wouldn't mind either tbh.

Laura Horowitz is a phenomenal narrator and had me so entertained and engaged.
Thank you Bookouture Audio | Second Sky Books for the ALC

I have loved the first book so ofcourse I was so excited to read Enchantra and I might have squealed when I got this to review..

I loved this book so much. Loved the story and I just couldn’t stop reading .

I do very highly recommend this book.

I give this 5 out of 5.

🔥 5 Stars – Utterly Addictive! 🔥

I don’t want to give any spoilers so I will leave you with this… Book 2 cranks up the tension with a deliciously dark hate-to-love romance, razor-sharp banter, and a found family dynamic that hits right in the feels. The stakes are higher, the chemistry is off the charts, and the narrator? Absolute perfection. If you love enemies who can’t stop sparring (or staring), moments that gut-punch you with emotion, and a story that refuses to let you go—this is the book to devour.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for the chance to listen to the audiobook of Enchantra by Kaylie Smith.

I was eager to read the sequel to Phantasma and Wow! What a fun read this was! Genevieve and Rowin are an explosive match! We have the opportunity to learn a bit more about their world as well as both of their families. The wicked games they’re playing was fun to experience.

The narrator, Laura Horowitz, did a great job voicing the different parts. She changed her voice to match the characters and emotions.

Overall, I recommend reading for a fun time!
