I loved this book just as much as the first one! Genevieve and Rowin's story was exciting and had me on the edge of my seat! The narrator was great and east to listen to. I can't wait to read the next book in the series!

Where do I start with this review? I suppose it will have to be with an apology. An apology to Ophelia and Salem ... Vivi and Rowan have knocked you off the pedestal and claimed it for themselves. I adored this warring couple.

From the minute they met each other, I was hooked on them just as much as they were on each other. The adult games of hide and seek, where someone must die, were just a side plot to me. I was invested in them. Their cute games of two truths and one lie just melted me. Especially with some of the truths and lies! Then the ending, the twists, I was gasping it couldn't be. The meeting and then the ring, and I was cheering. Cryptic, I know.

Rowan and Genevieve make the ultimate sacrifices for each other, and I had no idea it was going to play out the way it did!!

Gosh, despite being 443 pages long, I felt like I had only read 20. I couldn't believe it was over when it was, I was so absorbed in the book that it made time fly. I mixed read this, part audiobook and then read a tiny bit. But it was worth it. I loved this more than the first (Sorry again, Ophelia,) it was the perfect follow-up. I am itching to get the 3rd book!!

So much to unpack without realising there was at the end of the book. It's going to be fun 3rd one!

I want more and more and more!! One of my top books of the year so far!!!

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to listen to the audiobook... The narrator was again on point throughout the book and really portrayed the characters perfectly!!

I want to preface that this book is even better than Phantasma was!!! The whole storyline had me on the edge of my seat whilst simultaneously kicking my feet and melting!!

The mouth on Rowington Silver 🫠🫠🫠🫠 I think I have a new favourite Shadow Devil book boyfriend!!!

I love how the storyline threw them both together and we watched them grow together throughout the deadly games... The spicy scenes are to die for... I melted into my seat a few times...

Absolutely fantastic and probably the best book of the year so far!!

I absolutely LOVED Phantasma when I read it last year. I’ve been obsessed ever since… seriously, I’ve been telling everyone and their pet to read it. So, I literally SCREAMED when my ALC request got approved. Big thank you to @netgalley and @secondskybooks (shoutout to Noelle 🥹) for giving me one of my most anticipated reads of 2025: Enchantra by @kaylesmoon.

Yup, so it’s official… Rowan Silver has claimed the title of my new book husband. He is actual PERFECTION, and I can’t wait for everyone to meet him. Another sexy shadow daddy with major “touch her and die” energy. He’s got a wickedly delicious mouth and knows exactly what to say. His dynamic with Genevieve is chaotic in the best possible way. Just like Phantasma, the tension is intense, and there’s a lovely slow-burn happening.

The games of hide and seek (they call it ‘The Hunt’ in this one) had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The stakes felt incredibly high, especially when Rowan’s family was involved. The narrator delivered every voice and accent brilliantly… I was a bit skeptical at first, but they did an amazing job. Kudos to them!

Kaylie’s writing remains flawless. I expected plot twists (just like in Phantasma), but I was genuinely caught off guard by what happened. The last few chapters literally BROKE ME but also fixed me. Let’s just say I was very happy with how it concluded.

I feel like the spice level got upped in Enchantra. My mouth was literally OPEN at times, absolutely gobsmacked by how spicy AND FUN the scenes were! My dark fantasy girlies who love spice are going to LOVE THIS BOOK!

I will definitely be reading the book once it’s released because I’m sure I missed a few important details. Since I have hearing loss, audiobooks can be a bit tough for me so I can’t wait to experience it again in!

Thank you Bookouture Audio, and Netgalley for sending me the Audiobook for Enchantra for an honest review.

Laura Horowitz once again killed it as the narrator. It's always so mindblowing how she can muster up all these different voices and sound so good every time. Especially playing male parts. HOW 🤯 She can do no wrong! Great pacing. Clear and easy to understand/follow.

In regards to the story, it unfortunately did not hit like the first, but that's not to say that I didn't enjoy the book. It still kept me entertained, giggling, and kicking my feet. Especially with our new Shadow daddy. I also loved finally getting to know Genevieve in this installment. She's such a strong, sassy, relatable character. I loved how she gave everyone hell and took no one's crap. The banter and spice was top tier. The only thing I found lacking were the trials in this book. The trials in Phantasma had me on the edge of the seat at all times, but with Enchantra, it had me a bit bored. Too much sitting around. I almost didn't care for it and found myself skimming thru parts, wanting for something exciting to happen.

Thank you to Bookoture for the alc, all opinions are my own.

For a cut throat murder game in a gothic mansion, this wasn’t all that interesting to me unfortunately. The games were not high stakes, with the brothers forced to compete each year, and the names really just made the whole thing less interesting.

The marriage of convenience turned instant love was very sudden, with just clashing of spicy scenes.

Without a doubt, Phantasma is the standout of the series so far. However, Enchantra holds its own, maintaining a steady pace throughout, with a few moments that kept it from being a perfect 5-star read. But that ending?! It sets the stage for the next *hopefully* book(s) in the series in such an exciting way! 👏🏻

What I absolutely loved? The Silver siblings. Sure, they were crass, ruthless, and all trying to kill Genevieve, but who doesn’t love a high-stakes manhunt with a marriage of convenience, AND a dash of devilish intrigue? I couldn’t get enough of it! 🙋🏻‍♀️

What let me down? The manhunt itself. While the stakes were high, it felt underwhelming at times. There was just too much downtime during the hunts, which made the action feel a bit slow. The spice also felt strangely placed at times, breaking the flow. But those letters at the end?! Swoon.

I’m incredibly grateful for the chance to experience Enchantra through both the eARC and audiobook. Being able to switch between the two as needed, and the narrator was excellent! Huge thanks to Bookouture Audio and Second Sky/Forever for this impeccable reading experience.

What a great follow up to book 1! I love that we got the sister's story so much! This was a very enjoyable audio, i didn't find myself needing to take a break at all. I cant wait to be able to re-listen when I can read along with my physical!

I enjoyed Phantasma (even though the games were a little lackluster). Overall, I still enjoyed this one, but the games were underwhelming and the romance went from 0 to 100 so quickly. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the spice in this one (and I'm not gonna lie, I had to google some visuals IYKYK). I really liked the ending, but I wish it wasn't so abrupt. 3.5 stars.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ALC of this book!

Amazing dark fantasy!!! The narrators did an amazing job bringing the characters to life. These dark and dangerous games pit siblings against siblings. I felt the family's pain and despare. Loved the ending!!!

If you enjoyed Phantasma and want more smutty life or death competitions but this time with a marriage of inconvenience, Enchantra is exactly what you’re looking for.

There is instant attraction between Rowin and Genevieve, but also she’s super mad at him for not letting her into the estate and then also forcing her to marry him and compete in said deadly competition.

There is banter, there is touch and die, there is spice. There are also cute animal familiars!

I feel like Phantasma focused more on the spice and Enchantra focuses more on the relationship. Regardless, I will gladly throw down a mug and shout another for every book in this series!!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Second Sky Books for the review copy of the audiobook. I had such a great time and Laura Horowitz did such a good job with the narration!

Enchantra" Review – My Perfectly Chaotic Love Letter to Genevieve, Rowan, and Deadly Games

I *thought* I loved Ophelia… and I *do*, but now that I’ve spent time with Genevieve, I realize she’s the second half of my soul—like, if Ophelia and Genevieve fused together, they’d basically create *me*. No choice but to love her. 😌

And ROWAN. Omg. The swooning I did?! Unmatched. The broody, shadow-wielding, *grumpy yet protective* king of my dreams (except I’m totally joking because I love my husband… mostly 😂). IYKYK, but *Phantasma* has been my top read in the last two years, mainly because of Sinclaire (*chef’s kiss*), but Rowan… let’s just say he’s a solid backup. 😏

The deadly *hide-and-seek in a cursed Italian manor* vibes? IMMACULATE. The marriage of convenience that turns into something more? OBSESSED. The tension, the banter, the gothic setting—it all had me *devouring* this book. Kaylie Smith’s writing is *so* good, and I love how she creates these magical, eerie, *twisty* worlds that you can’t help but get lost in.

Oh, and that ending? 😭💀 You *cannot* beat that kind of romance.

Genevieve (paranormal mortal) finds a strange invitation addressed to her deceased mother. She accepts the invitation and unfortunately arrives on the one day she can’t so easily escape. Unknowingly, she’s entered in a deadly game of hide and seek (with a few twists). Her only chance of survival is to get married to one of the brothers of the estate, Rowin.(Immortal)

The games were great. Not as much action as you would think but given that it’s basically multiple rounds of hide and seek there is a lot of downtime where the two MCs get to know each other better. There’s plotting, betrayal and sacrifice.
True enemies to lovers although in my opinion the slide from enemies to lovers was a little choppy. Despite that, I actually enjoyed this book more than Phantasma. The ending was surprisingly sweet and I was worried if it had gotten any sweeter I would’ve cried. Loved the dark found family element with a few familiars too. Could absolutely visualize this book becoming a movie. I’m happy to hear there’s a third book coming out.

Love love love love love this book. I think I might like this book more than Phantasma. I lterally did not want to stop listening and before I knew it was finished.

Read book one in a very short amount of time. This one was fun! I loved the game aspect again, and I liked how There are so many more characters for this story. Would have loved to see Ophelia more but this book was also exciting.

I was so excited for the second book after Phantasma and couldn’t wait to read more about Genevieve. I wondered how it would follow but loved the direction this took us in. I feel she is the strongest sister so she has to play the harder games! I really love the games on both books and find it very refreshing and different o other books. Really easy to follow and amazing side characters. I can’t wait for the third instalment.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for an advanced listening copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Phantasma was one of my most memorable reads of 2024 - It took me by surprise how much I enjoyed It and thought about It after the fact. I had high hopes for the sequel and I might have enjoyed It more! The audiobook was such a great way to enjoy this story. I could really see It play out and could totally picture this being a series. A very broody MMC and a very stubborn FMC in a forced marriage to save her life before they enter deadly games hosted by a devil? This was so fun! The ending was just too sweet 😭🩷🩷🩷

Finished this at 2.0 Speed so I can get it over with lol.

This isn't a bad book but it also isn't anything new. If you are looking for a basic shadow daddy and trials then this is a quick book to read.

I could not connect to any of the characters and the relationship felt like it was based on lust and nothing else. I really wanted more out of this but it turned out like every other romantasy book that is out lately. If I was brand new to the genre I would've probably liked it more.

ENCHANTRA 💜 ALC 🎧

ABSOLUTELY HANDS DOWN 5⭐️ I loved Phantasma and didn’t think it was possible to love Enchantra more. I listened to this on audio, the narrator was fantastic and managed to capture each character perfectly. Would definitely recommend listening to the book!

“The Hunt” which are the deadly games, are enticing and entertaining. Rowan the MMC is handsome, has incredible whit and banter, he’s cheeky and adore him. I LOVE that it follows Genevieve, seeing more of her character and the development which I LOVED.

The cheekiness of the back and forth between the FMC & MMC just had me laughing and yearning after them. The slow burn TENSION was just amazing. Incredible story line and I’m so excited to get the physical copy!

Things I LOVED

💜 DEADLY GAMES
💜 SHADOW DADDY MMC (touch her and die vibes)
💜 ENEMIES TO LOVERS (the banter and TENSION had me HOOKED)
💜 DEMONS & BLOOD WRAITHS

Thank you so much Second Sky for the ALC
