“Nothing is ever truly eternal…except my longing for you”

This was SO much fun.

Enchantra follows Genevieve after the events of Phantasma as she seeks further answers and comfort following her mother’s death.

This is absolutely Ready Or Not coded and I mean that in a very good way. Genevieve finds herself trapped in what is essentially a murderous game of hide or seek with a cheeky little generational trauma twist

I loved every character in the book. The siblings had such a complex and intriguing dynamic. I especially loved Sevin (I’m praying the next book is about him)

“Do you have a favourite game I should know about?”
“I really enjoyed the one where I ask you to do something, and you simply refuse to f*cking do it.”

The romance, the banter, the spice 🥵 I absolutely adored the relationship between Rowin and Genevieve. I had so much fun watching them wind each other up. And can we talk about the sexy game of Simon Says?!!!

“If you don’t play correctly, you’re going to get punished.”
“That only makes me want to do it more.”

Thank you eternally to Second Sky for providing me with a proof of Enchantra. All opinions are my own.

I got this as an arc from Second Sky on Netgalley and it has since come out. Words cannot express how much I adore this series. Usually the second book in a series is a struggle book but not this one. It was so good, I liked it more than the first one. I absolutely connected with Genevieve on some level and I loved the Silvers. And familiars? Yes please.

Omg omg omg! What a book. I loved the first book in this series Phantasma. It was the first fantasy book in a while that really had me hooked and book 2 was as good.

The story was fun and deadly from start to finish. Vivi is a strong female character who doesn't need anyone to save her. She doesn't take no for an answer and she believes in herself. I love her strength and confidence.

Kaylie is exceptional at world building. The Silver estate and how it changed for the games was fascinating. Kaylie's description is so vivid I felt like I not only knew the labyrinth in the garden but that I had been there myself.

Rowin and his siblings were a blast. As one of 6 siblings (all brothers) I get the big family dynamics. loved Ellin and Sevin the most. I loved how Ellin and Vivis relationship unfolded. Being the only girl is tough and I really connected with Ellin on that front.

This was everything I want from a gothic fantasy romance book and more!

I switched between the audio and the ebook version of this book and the narration on the audio was fantastic. I found myself listening more and more even though it is slower than I read because I just loved listening to the narration!

“Shadows can only be seen in the presence of light. I worry when you leave, there will be no one left to see me.”

When I heard about this book releasing, I did not think that it could match the energy of Phantasma, but here we are. My oh MY am I addicted to this world! Our poor Genevieve was stuck to marry a stranger and then forced to play a cursed and deadly game of hide and seek alongside him and his siblings.

Enchantra had the same deadly and addictive qualities as Phantasma but was unique enough to feel like its own story. The stakes were high. I felt for several of the siblings and the never ending game they were in. The fact that it all unfolds like a gameshow for viewers where they watch through mirrors was so fun!

Geneieve is fierce, courageous and didn't take shit from nobody. Rowin is your typical morally grey, arrogant shadow daddy- why does this never get old btw? Their tension and banter was perfect and Rowins little fox Umbra omggg so cute especially when it got attached to Vivi

I am super invested in this world and am so excited that there was set up for another book. I need answers on who it will be about right now!

Absolutely loved phantasma and had high expecations for this one, and guess what, I ended up loving this one as well!

I gave this a 4 star while I gave phantasm 5 stars, but I think that was all because of Blackwell

Getting to know Ophelia’s sister, Genevieve, was interesting. She did make some pretty stupid decisions, but the story was well crafted. Rowan was great as the story progressed.

Loved this book so much! The manor, the chase, the secret rooms with as much whimsy as they had horror. Genevieve was a funny FMC and I liked the family dynamic that she found herself in! Would 💯 recommend to my 18+ book club!

4.5 ⭐️

We finally have Genevieve’s story!

I honestly didn’t know how it was possible to bring the same energy of Phantasma to Vivi’s story, but with Enchantra, it definitely delivered.

Genevieve’s on the hunt for answers and a place she feels she belongs. Enter a shadow wielding, tattooed immortal Wraith, a dysfunctional family (complete with animal side kicks), who are chained to a yearly game labelled ‘The Hunt’, a Devil, and the glorious estate of Enchantra, with its hedge mazes and secret passageways nestled in the Italian countryside of Tuscany.

Our shadow-wielding, tattoo-covered Wraith, Rowin, did everything he could to keep Vivi from getting too close to Enchantra, given the timing of her arrival. But Vivi’s stubbornness landed her right where he didn’t want her to be.

Now she’s stuck in the middle of The Hunt, a twisted, annual death match where the resident family goes full Hunger Games for some reality tv style entertainment for Hell’s devils. Her one shot at surviving? Marry the shadow-wielding stranger and hope they both survive 🫣

I LOVED Vivi. She was no damsel in distress, and waited on no man to save her. With a fiery personality, curves for days and stubbornness that could rival my own, she was a breath of fresh air to read about.

Rowin’s possessive streak in this book? Chef’s kiss. No matter how hard he tried to play it cool with Vivi, the man couldn’t help himself. Add in the shadow-wielding powers and the tattoos? Yeah, Kaylie knew exactly what kind of menace she was creating 😏

There was a lot more romance in this book compared to Phantasma. As Vivi and Rowin are married for the sake of Vivi’s mortal life, their relationship needed to work for them to survive. There’s vulnerability, COMMUNICATION (add a star for that alone) and puddle-inducing acts of service. I could not get enough.

I’m so excited to see where the Wicked Games series goes next!

There is something about Kaylie’s writing that is so addicting and good to me. I fear no one does it like she does!!!!!!

Genevieve just makes sense to me. As a younger sister, o relaaatteee to how she feels about her mother and Ophelia’s relationships and her own. The desire to want to find yourself, to not relate to how your family feels. She’s just so relatable. I will defend her with my life.

ROWIN!!!!! ROWINGTON SILVER. hey so this is the hottest man. The “my wife vibes” are immaculate truly. Hes everything you want for a MMC… a lip ring, dark hair, and tattoos. Possessive but not controlling. Always ready to please Genevieve. Please he’s so hot and everything to me.

To me, this felt a bit easier to digest gore wise. I am the world’s biggest baby okay so Phantasma was WILLDDD to me. And the blood scene was hot but also freaked me out. Whereas this one just had me feeling hot fr. The mirror scene is !!!!!!!!!!!

Kaylie Smith is and always will be an icon to me. An auto buy author forever!

I didn’t think I could love a book as much as I loved Phantasma and this was absolutely incredible. High stakes, filled with demons, and this complex, devilish Silver family.

Imaginative, dark, tense, and as with Phantasma, strangely romantic. Ophelia's sister faces her own trials while looking for secrets of the necromancer legacy. But all is not as she plans - devils and demons, trials and deals, and surviving a yearly hunt among wraiths changes everything. And yes, still strangely romantic.

Enchantra  -

I am absolutely spellbound by Enchantra! I adored Phantasma and loved Enchantra equally as much!

Following Vivi & Rowins story was full of as many, if not MORE twists and turns as Phantasma was.

Kaylee does an incredible job of creating such unique worlds and bringing these characters stories to life. The way she pours so much authenticity into her character relationships makes them feel so relateable. Each character has their own flaws and personality traits that some authors cab struggle putting into words. With Vivi and Rowin though, each interaction or inner dialogue felt very unique to them which in turn made it easier to sympathise with them individually.

The premise of Enchantra was also quite reverting, I was instantly drawn into the story and the struggles Vivi faced just getting into Enchantra. The author Kaylee has a beautiful way of not, in layman's terms, ' info dumping ' . We don't get a whole bunch of information right at the start, instead it's expertly weaved through the story in a organic way.

There were a couple of plot holes I'm not sure if maybe I misread something or didn't fully grasp the meaning that irked me a little, more so when the story was at its peak.


[[[ SPOILER ALERT ]]]  Specifically when Knox said he would take all Vivis memories when she left his vault - he also said all the other siblings had also agreed to this in the past, to keep his treasures a secret. So how was Vivi able to recall the Soul Locket when she created the plan with Rowin & Grave?Also at the start of the book another sibling also mentioned another treasure they had their eye on and were after that if they won? How did either remember if they made a deal all their memories would be wiped after they left the vault?

Other than that, I really really enjoyed the book! I loved the brutality of the siblings killing each other in such creative ways, it really drove home how they had been trapped in this cycle for so long that everything else had already been attempted.

I found the romance aspect of the story quite fresh and I loved how Vivi was so self assured and proud of who she was. In her words, ' Obviously ' 😅🥰.

Thankyou so much allowing me the privilege of reading this as an ARC, I have absolutely LOVED reading this series so far!

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!

Absolutely loved this book!!!!!! Rowin is absolutely everything you would want out of a book boyfriend! Can’t wait not wait for the next book she releases!!!!!

If you talked to me about books since last year, there's no way you weren't told Phantasma was one of my favourite reads in 2024. Enchantra follows right where that left off, with the same energies and I'm so here for it.
Marriage of convenience with dysfunctional found family? Just when I thought things couldn't get better than book 1! Absolutely amazing and entertaining and so much fun!
I just love, love, love all the fun, dark, twisty masquerade balls and animal companions and all the jazz that comes with the deadly situation Genevieve finds herself in.
Also, Genevieve is amazing. I loved Ophelia and now I love her sister, too. And I love Rowin and his full touch her and... vibes.

If you love dark, twisted romance and gothic settings, this is for you.

This is the 2nd book of Wicked Games. I enjoyed the first book a lot so of course had to sign up for this book.
Genevieve got an invitation for a place in Italy. There she meets Rowin and he doesn't want her there and slams the door in heer face but she finds a way in.
Rowin and his family are playing a deadly game and she is caught in it, In order for her to win she needs Rowin's help and they must make it look like they are in love.
There are so many deadly games ahd Rowin's family tries to kill her.
It s fast paced and alot of thrills throughout the book. Rowin and Genevieve have an attraction that they both are fighting.
Thank you to NetGalley and Second Sky for the book to review.

HOW WAS THIS BETTER THAN PHANTASMA?? HOW KAYLIE???😩😍😍

I absolutely loved Rowin, adding him to my top 10 book boyfriends immediately. I can’t wait for book 3 in the Wicked Games series, I’m getting the vibe that it might be about Lucy? Or maybe Ellen. GAH 😩 I need it now!

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️ (Rowin is…🤌🏼)

Some tropes to expect:

💀 Forced Marriage
💀 Fake Relationship
💀 Deadly Trials
💀 Enemies to Lovers
💀 Shadow Daddy
💀 Past Relationship Trauma
💀 Indentured Servitude
💀 Plus-size Representation


Thank you so much to Forever/Second Sky and Kaylie Smith for this eARC and chance to read and give my honest review! I can’t wait for book 3 and know that I will request it IMMEDIATELY the second it’s available.

I was excited when I saw that Kaylie Smith was coming out with another Wicked Games book because I enjoyed "Phantasma". From the start, I was hooked into this story! I couldn't wait to see how Genevieve's own adventures would play out as we only had glimmers of her in the last. Kaylie Smith writes an immersive world that makes me feel as if I am walking along the pages with her characters, for what the estate was, it sounded like a lovely place to visit. Rowin and Genevieve were so fun to watch their relationship unfold on the pages, fake dating/marriage is one of the tropes I gravitate towards! While this story can be completely read on it's own, I liked meeting back up with Ophelia too. I have not been able to stop thinking about this book since I finished. Thank you to Second Sky and Forever Pub for an advanced copy! All thoughts and opinions are my own!

Absolutely loved this story! I was so happy that it didn't have the same story just different characters but a whole new fresh take on this world. I am so in love with these characters and world!

Also, that is a beautiful cover!

Hell, am I in for a book hangover!

I absolutely adored Phantasma, and now I am absolutely besotted with Enchantra!

This time round, it's Ophelia's little sister Genevieve's turn to be the heroine of the hour, when she decides to pay a visit to her mother's old friend Barrington Silver's estate 'Enchantra' in Italy. Unfortunately, it turns out that the family is cursed to play a game to the death once a year and low and behold, Genevieve's visit could not have come at a worse time.

The tension is high, and the game is afoot in this thrilling (and spicy) romantasy right from the start. Due to being the second installment set in this world, we get thrown right into Genevieve arriving at the estate without needing the heavy world building that Phantasma started with.

The Silver siblings all have their own sense of self, and their own individual characterisation, although I'd have liked to see more from Wells, Covin and Remi. Hopefully in future books set in this world we will see more from them as well as Salem and Ophelia.

And if you like broody, tattooed and pierced shadow daddies? Rowington Silver DELIVERS!

Thank you so much to secondsky/forever for the advance copy of this book via Netgalley.
