To say I’m heartbroken this book is over is an understatement. I’m DEVASTATED. This story was SPECTACULAR. Dare I say better than Phantasma? Because I think it was. This book has me in a chokehold. Vivi and Rowin are EVERYTHING. There was so much action, gore, spice. The hunts? Oh my god I’m obsessed. This story had so many twists and turns. It kept me on the edge of my seat and had me in its grasp from the first sentence. I am absolutely in love with Enchantra. I would give this 20 stars if I could. Hands down one of the best books I have read in 2025! I appreciate the opportunity to read this before its release.

This book was just as good as the first. I absolutely adore this series! I loved Rowan and Genevieve’s story, their banter was so fun! If you love marriage of convenience, found family and deadly trials, you will love this book!

I loved this book just as much as the first one. This is a standalone novel, so you don’t need to read the first one before you read the second. It’s the perfect kind of dart romantasy I adore!

I honestly don't think I can fully put into words how much I loved Enchantra!

I adored Genevieve, and how strong headed she is! when she is turned away from Enchantra...she is not taking that as an option and managed to find her own way in, something that would change her life forever.

And then we meet Rowin... the handsome, stubborn man that he is who quickly had me swooning over him too (When you read it, you will understand!)
He comes up with a plan to help them both succeed, a plan which forces them into close proximity, and ultimately sparks begin to fly between them!

The excitement I had for this book was unreal, and I am so so happy to say it exceeded all of my already sky high expectations!. The story was incredible, and the characters were brought to life beautifully... I loved every single thing about this book!.

*Thank you to NetGalley and Second Sky Books for providing me with an ARC of this book in return for my honest review.

Wow I don’t have the words to say how much I enjoyed this book.

This book was so immersive. It felt like I stepped through a portal and into the beautiful Italy setting of this book.

This is my first book that I’ve read by Kaylie Smith and all I have to say is that I definitely have a new auto buy author. I immediately want to read Phantasma after this. (I know it’s technically the first book and I read the second first but I did not feel as if I missed anything at least because her writing was done so well.)

I absolutely loved the fmc, Genevieve. She was so curious and stubborn. I could see so many parts of myself in her. My heart absolutely ached when I read about her feelings of just wanting to belong somewhere. I feel like we can all resonate in some part with that.🥹 She was also so strong and did not back down from a fight no matter if people thought she wouldn’t make it. I loved seeing her prove people wrong.

I know we all love a mmc with shadow powers and Rowin did NOT disappoint. I can definitely say he’s my fav mmc with shadow powers.🤭 He was also so snarky and protective. I absolutely loved it!!

Genevieve and Rowin had such great sizzling chemistry. - He smirked. “Are words the only claws you’ve got?” “Come closer and let’s see,” she crooned. - This is just one example of the absolute amazing banter they had. I loved seeing them slowly warm up towards each other to the point where they would risk their lives for each other. Romance is certainly not dead in this book. 🤭 And don’t even get me started on the small caring things Rowin did.🥹

This book absolutely blew my breath away.

This book is a must read for all fantasy lovers, especially ones who like trials or the movie Ready or not!🤭

Thank you so much to the author, Kaylie Smith and Second Sky/Forever for an e-arc of this book! I can’t wait to see what the future brings for more Kaylie Smith books!

I loved Phantasma and was so excited when I saw the next book was coming! This series is a true masterpiece! I loved Ophelia in the first book, now we learn more about her sister Genevieve. Enchantra sounds, well, enchanting!

Arriving at a field in the middle of nowhere, she followed the instructions from the invitation letter she found at home so it must be the right place - finding out the Manor only showing itself to those it wants to. She comes face to face with the Manor as it appears from nowhere. The fact the invitation isn't addressed to her but to Tessie Grimm - her mother, is ok, right?! Same family, same rules!

Genevieve or more affectionately known as Vivi, finds herself caught up in another game, one that traps her unless she forfeits. There are multiple nights of games, alongside the Silver's who are cursed to play the game for eternity. Of course there is magic, demons, tricks, lies and..love?

I was sucked into this story and read it slowly to savour each and every character. Rowington and Genevieve are my faves but they all have their own quirks, Grave the grump, Ellington the healer, Sevington the trickster. I love them all and I love the fact they have animal companions. Umbra is the cutest!

This series is well worth a read and look forward to more from Kaylie!

3.5 stars.

I didn't love Phantasma as much as I was hoping, and really wanted Enchantra to redeem it for me.. and while I did enjoy Enchantra a smidge more, I did feel it was exactly the same story as Phantasma.

Enchantra had great premise, and I did seem to like all the characters a lot more, and thought it was a lot easier to read and get a grasp on who was who and what was happening throughout.

I am sure everyone who loved Phantasma will love Enchantra just as much - I just am unsure if this series is for me.

I've gotten a physical arc of this one, which is my preference, so I'll be reviewing it elsewhere when I finish reading!

Once again reading I find myself absolutely obsessed from start to finish.
In my review of Phantasma, I mentioned Poe being my favorite character -because ghost cat- so to have a soul fox named Umbra made my entire life.
I absolutely loved following Genevieve and, to quote Rowin, the trouble that always seems to find her.
Rowin and his siblings being different wraiths was a interesting turn that I didn't expect but absolutely loved. Once again I find myself adding a new shadow wielding boyfriend to my list... On top of a blood wraith boyfriend, which I genuinely need a book on Sevin going to the Daemonica and the absolute chaos that will happen there to find a cure for their mother
I definitely give this five stars and can't wait to own the physical copy. Fantastic read from start to finish and an amazing second instalment to Phantasma.

Thank you Netgalley and Second Sky/Forever for this Arc read!

Oh my gosh, I’ve been blown away once again! Enchantra is the second installment in the Wicked Games series, and it did not disappoint!

I loved the first book, and once again, I fell in love with both the FMC and the MMC. Murder trials in an old house in Rome with a dark, broody man with piercings? Count me in!

I do think this book was a lot less bloody and predictable than the first one, but nonetheless, it was such a fun and easy read and I couldn’t put it down. I really enjoyed the banter between Genevieve and Rowin and loved all the chaos within the Silver family. Each member had such a distinct personality.

Genevieve embraces her femininity and everything pink and frilly but she definitely has a bite to her, which was so fun! Rowin was more of the standard dark and broody type, but he still stole my heart.

Also, special mention to all the familiars. They were just too darn cute! I just wanted to smooch Umbra’s forehead! And to Knox… I kindly hope your bed catches on fire in the middle of the night. :)

Kaylie Smith just knows how to write a really enjoyable book.
I had high hopes for Enchantra after really enjoying Phantasma and it didn’t disappoint, it was so fun. I didn’t quite know how this story was going to go after the ending of Phantasma but it kept the same energy but with a different experience. I loved the energy of our FMC, the banter with all the characters, I was swooning for our MMC!
I can’t wait to see what Kaylie Smith gives us next

“𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕.” “𝑨𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒓?” “𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒏’𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰’𝒗𝒆 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆,” 𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒈𝒓𝒖𝒇𝒇𝒍𝒚. “𝒀𝒐𝒖’𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒓.”

I read this SO FAST!!! I was thrilled to dive back into the haunting world of ghosts, demons, and necromancers that Kaylie Smith created… and THIS TIME with an enemies-to-lovers marriage of convenience?! 💍🔥 Do you need more convincing?!

“𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆. 𝑳𝒐𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝑺𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒔,” “𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒘𝒊𝒇𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒃𝒍𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒅, 𝒅𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌?”

First off, you don’t need to read the first book to understand this one (personal opinion), but I highly recommend it! 📖✨ It follows the sister’s journey through her own twisted games, and you get a few delicious sprinkles of connections from book one.

The story? A cursed game of hide and seek with demons 👀💀 and the winner from the family doesn't suffer in Hell. And who’s stuck in the enchanted nightmare that is Enchantra? Our beloved Genevieve🖤 After finding an invitation meant for her mother and getting kicked out, she refuses to take no for an answer. BOOM. She’s trapped, and her only way to survive? Marrying Rowington aka shadow daddy 🖤✨ BUAHAHA enter forced proximity, forced teamwork, and undeniable attraction 🔥🔥

“𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒊𝒕,” 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒍𝒚. “𝑰 𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒆.” 𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝒈𝒂𝒛𝒆 𝒏𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒅. “𝒀𝒆𝒔, 𝑰’𝒎 𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒆.”

The tension? IMMACULATE. The way they had to hide together, play the deadly games, and tiptoe around their growing attraction drove me INSANE (in the best way possible)💜

Oh and the spice scene exists in this book and trust me.. they do not disappoint.

“𝑰 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒎𝒆.” 𝑯𝒆 𝒔𝒎𝒊𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒅. “𝑰’𝒎 𝒂 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑯𝒆𝒍𝒍, 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒖𝒔𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆.” “𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒃𝒆𝒅, 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒆.”

What I loved most about Enchantra? Genevieve’s journey of self-discovery. She wasn’t just uncovering her past, she was also embracing the present, realizing that even though she didn’t receive the care, love, or attention she deserved, the ones who truly matter will always give it to her. 💜✨ AKA ROWINNNNNNN THAT IS A MAN.

The twists and turns of the game made this so much fun to read. I cannot imagine what’s coming next, but I need it ASAP!!!!!

This book was so much fun and I loved the way it built on Phantasma whilst still being a standalone novel!

I loved the trials and games anspect, especially the hide and seek vibes. I found that it added another level to the story and kept me engaged with the characters. I absolutely loved getting to see the POV of Vivi and her link with Rowin as it developed across the book and the trials.

I didn’t feel safe for a moment whilst reading! There were so many twists that I didn’t see coming which I absolutely love in a fantasy novel and it kept me engaged throughout. I got through this book super quickly purely because I found it so intriguing and the writing was so strong.

Thank you so much to the author, the publisher and to NetGalley for allowing me to access this ARC, I loved it.

Enchantra was a spellbinding blend of danger, deception, and slow-burn romance that had me hooked from the first page. Genevieve was a fierce and determined heroine, and her chemistry with the brooding, enigmatic Rowin crackled with tension. The cursed palace was as mesmerizing as it was treacherous, creating a setting that felt both dreamlike and nightmarish.
The twists were relentless, the stakes were high, and the fake dating trope was executed to perfection. Every moment between Genevieve and Rowin had me questioning whether their love was real or just another deadly illusion. The writing was lush, the romance deliciously angsty, and the ending left me breathless.
This was such a great follow up to Phantasma! For fans of dark fantasy and morally gray love interests, Enchantra was an absolute must-read.
Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Thank you Netgalley and Second Sky for providing me with an ARC of Enchantra.

I absolutely LOVED this one. I didn’t think Kaylie would be able to top Blackwell, but then she served us Rowin AND all of his equally hot and broody brothers? I was SAT. I loved the confidence the FMC had, but also the emotional growth that carried on through the plot. The games were super high-stakes and the smut was serving. I hope Kaylie plans to continue with this series because I need more!

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

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.

What a fantastic companion to Phantasma! I just love how this author writes. Like Phantasma, this sucked me in immediately and I was hooked. This was so much fun and so good.

I will preface this review with the fact that I did not read book one. I went in blind for this one and I was really surprised. I thought this series was darker, more fantastical but it felt more like a fantasy rom-com? Idk, doesn't matter. It was entertaining, I was not bored and I enjoyed the interaction between characters. The ending was particularly touching and really makes me want to go back and read book one.

Thank you so much to Kaylie, Second Sky/Forever and Netgalley for the opportunity to review this title. I attest that I am leaving my review voluntarily and honestly.

I was more than ready to read Enchantra. I enjoyed Phantasma so much that I was ready to read about Genevieve's story. 



We may have a previous interpretation of Genevieve in Phantasma, but there is way more to her. She isn’t irresponsible. Genevieve just wants to belong, especially within family. She has always been the odd one out since Genevieve is just the spare. This is why Genevieve enters the game again unexpectedly. 



Yeah, I know. What do you mean Genevieve enters the game again but unexpectedly? Well, Genevieve receives a special invitation addressed to her mother (who is dead), so she had to go through and ask her questions. It’s just that once you enter the premises, you have entered the deadly games between Silver siblings. That’s how Genevieve enters the game and ends up getting married, but a fake one, though.



Rowin and Genevieve may be married in name, but their chemistry and tension with each other are off the charts. And it doesn’t help that they are constantly fighting with each other, which makes the banter top tier. I know that I am enjoying every bit of their relationship. I just know that their relationship will work in the long run. Rowin and Genevieve make sense.

An absolutely amazing follow up to the viral sensation of Phantasma!! I think everyone is going to love this story just as much, if not more than book one🥰
