I was worried going into this that I wouldn't love Vivi's story as much as I loved Ophelia, but I was wrong. It loved this just as much! And I loved Rowin as much as I loved Blackwell. I'm so excited to see what book 3 brings!

This was fun! It took me a while to get into it but once The Hunt started I was hooked!! Looking forward to more reads from Kaylie Smith!

I had an opportunity to read eARC of this amazing second book Enchantra by @kaylsmoon from @secondskybooks @readforeverpub
This book is following the Genevieve, sister of Ophelia from Phantasma. I loved this book! I read it within 24 hours of receiving the email. Again! This book is giving gothic vibes. Genevieve has been secretly writing to a stranger who knew her mother and when he invites her over, she landed in a predicament leading to a marriage of convenience and set of trials/games. This one is more life hide and seek! If you get caught, you de. This book has plus size representation with found family and siblings dynamics.
Phantasma was one of my favourite book of 2024 and now Enchantra is my favourite for 2025 so far! We meet Rowin Silver in this book who is the undefeated player of the game. He is forced to play the game to save his mother.
Misunderstood by his siblings, he still continues to find a way out. When he is offered a chance to partner up with Genevieve, he sees an opportunity to finally get rid of the demon.
The plot has a game which a devil forces the family to play, each sibling gets to choose the theme and if you get caught, either you k*ll them or they k*ll you. The residents of hell are the audience that watches the game. The concept, execution and character are perfectly written.
I would recommend this book to everyone who loves spooky and deadly vibes with a mix of magic and grumpy characters.

Omg Kaylie did it again!! I devoured this book in 24 hours. I didn't think any character could top Blackwell, but Rowin is right up there with him. Enchantra pulled me into the world right away and the plot was paced well, and the characters were well developed. It definitely lived up to my expectations and I can definitely see this being a book I re-read over and over again.

“Genevieve Grimm’s first murder was in the heart of Rome”

“She was going to get away from this house, this family, if it killed her”

“You’re going to tire yourself out long before you hurt me, trouble”

I absolutely loved Phantasma so I knew this book would have brought me back to that same excitement and thrilling sensation I was feeling while reading book one. I was interested by the character and curious to see what her journey would have brought forward. And I was right. Genevieve is such a funny, bright, determined, curious and impulsive character to follow. And Rowin … oh my friggin goodness that man !!!! Shadow daddy to the power of three!!! I am obsessed. Everything in this book made me excited. From the action, the narrative, the way the scenes are following smoothly one another without any interruption that feels forced. The banter between the two main characters and their spicy scenes , which , to be fair , compared to those of Ophelia and Blackwell were stronger and way more in quantity (of course always appreciated). And the way this man treats her … oh my friggin goodness, what is it that this author puts in her book boyfriends that always makes me head over heels in love with them? Please, tell me the recipe!!! Reading this book a bit much further away from Phantasma made me want to reread that book all over again and whenever the two characters were mentioned I felt butterfly and giggles in my stomach. But these two new characters bring forward a new kinda grumpy/sunshine dynamic with forced proximity and marriage of convenience, in another kinda Caraval setting that will make you feel magic and love and respect and excitement all in the same page. I’m so glad I got to experience this book !!!! Now I need physical copies of all of them !!

“Sometimes I think it’s best not to chase after things. Sometimes all we can do is let them go and hope they come back on their own”

“She’s mine”

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

liked this one just as much as the first! It has a great mix of adventure, danger, magic and spice! I hope she keeps writing this series for a long time!

This book was a blast to read. When I heard Genevieve was getting he own book I couldn't be more excited. I enjoyed the setting, the atmosphere, and the characters. I like that Genevieve is a fat character but there is no fatphobia which is refreshing to read. Rowin was a wonderful Shadow Daddy love interest and the whole Silver Family I know want a book with Ellin, Grave or Sevin.

Overall, this was a fun, suspenseful and cozy romance fantasy with high stakes. I can't wait for more from Kaylie.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a copy of this book! 😊 this was me trying a genre I don’t normally read and finding that maybe dark romance fantasy isn’t for me. I liked the premise of this but I wanted more of the trials and plot. There was a little too much spice for me. I liked the characters but felt I was missing some depth with them. Overall I enjoyed this just not my favorite thing I’ve read.

ENCHANTRA switches gears and puts Genevieve front and center as she goes off to an Italian tour, searching for answers of her own. She finds herself at yet another mysterious estate, much like the one in the previous book, only this time around the consequences are even more dire. Forced to participate in the residents’ wicked games (after forcing her way into the villa, no less), Genevieve is fighting for survival while also trying to protect her heart from a certain someone.

Fast-paced, immersive, and darkly magical, Enchantra is a delightful follow up to Phantasma. While it still holds the charm that I fell in love with in the first book, this one has an altogether different feel as we have a new setting, new manor, and new cast of characters. From the first book I wasn’t sure how much I would like Genevieve. She seemed vapid, self-centered, and without a care in the world, other than her needs. I’m glad to say this book changed my perception of her and I ended up LOVING her character.

The ending alludes to more to come in this phenomenal world, and I for one will be waiting with bated breath for anything else by this author. I adored this book and I absolutely adore Genevieve and Rowin. 5 stars. Pick this series up if you enjoy:

➸ Enemies-to-lovers
➸ Forced proximity
➸ Strong FMC
➸ Mysterious MMC
➸ Dark magic
➸ Medium spice
➸ Immersive, mysterious world
➸ Deadly games

Witchy, romantic, and packed with secrets — Enchantra gave me major “Hocus Pocus meets ACOTAR” vibes. Some tropes felt familiar, but I didn’t mind; the lush world and slow-burn romance kept me hooked. Perfect if you're in the mood for magical drama and found-family feels.

Genevieve Grimm heads to Italy to try a connect with an old acquaintance of her mother’s when she’s suddenly sucked into a devil’s ruthless game. Forced to marry in order to best conquer and win the game, Genevieve and Rowin must convince everyone of their short and passionate romance. Genevieve and Rowin slowly begin to confide their dark pasts and true motivations they bury deep within. As the different challenges test them, Rowin and Genevieve begin to realize how stronger they are together. But will they be able to outsmart the devil and win the game?

With a dynamic and enthralling cast of characters, you can’t help but be transfixed and obsessed until the you get to the end. I am eagerly anticipating the next installment!

Last year, I decided to try more genres and jumped into a Phantasma buddy read. I was obsessed! When I heard there was a book 2, I couldn’t get it soon enough! This one is more of a spinoff with the sister, Genevieve, invited to Enchantra, a cursed palace in Italy. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect after book one, but this book kept the same energy and kept me completely enthralled. A new shadow daddy, a new deadly game, a new budding romance, it has all the same elements of Phantasma that I desperately missed! Honestly Enchantra dialed up the romance story a little more than its predecessor. It was so fast paced and I couldn’t get through it fast enough. I loved the ending and hope to see more of these sisters!

Sadly I had to DNF at 52% \ this book just didn’t give me the same vibes as Phantasma did and the FMC was insufferable

I was really nervous coming into reading this book because of how much I loved Phantasma. I was worried that Genevieve and Rowin's story wouldn't live up to Ophelia and Blackwell's... BUT I was wrong and pleasantly surprised. While I would recommend reading Phantasma before Enchantra so you have the background on Ophie and Blackwell, it's not entirely necessary.

Genevieve has found herself at a cursed castle in Italy. Upon arriving, she's greeted by an arrogant, but incredibly attractive, man. She has now found herself locked in this castle on the eve of an annual fight-to-the-death competition between 7 immortal siblings. This isn't just any competition either. It's run by an incredibly powerful and evil devil. Once a sibling is killed, they are dragged back to Hell for the year to do this devil's bidding. The only way for her to *hopefully* remain alive is to marry a man she's just met. Rowin and Genevieve must team up to put on the show of a lifetime to appease the devil running the competitions and its spectators. However, the first rule of Enchantra is to never, ever trust your heart...

First of all, if I thought I couldn't like an MMC in this series more than I liked Blackwell... I WAS WRONG. Rowin. Is. Everything. The shadows. The tattoos. The piercings. The mouth on that man. I loved him.

Enchantra was really fast paced an SO fun (the banter is top knotch). Rowin's family dynamics were interesting... I enjoyed his siblings and their antics and meeting their familiars. I'm looking forward to hopefully learning about the rest of his siblings in future books!!

What to expect:
- Grumpy x Sunshine
- Fake Marriage
- One Bed
- Shadow Daddy
- Touch her and die
- Found family
- Curvy FMC
- Deadly games

Thank you to Kaylie Smith, Second Sky/Forever and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I loved 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗺𝗮 and was so excited to see where 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮 would go as it follows Ophelia’s sister, Genevieve Grimm! Genevieve desperately wants answers, but instead finds herself locked in Enchantra, with the Silver family, forced to play a game of hide-and-seek for the Devils’ entertainment. The plot had similarities to the first novel of the 𝗪𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, in the sense of more games with some paranormal characters and a luscious romance, while being its own story! I LOVED Genevieve and Rowin, and their marriage of convenience. It’s slow-burn bliss. The Silver siblings were an unexpected addition that I found entertaining and endearing! I think 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮 has now gained the number one position for favourite of this series!

First and foremost, thank you to the publisher for providing an e-ARC of this title. Having thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the series; I was thrilled to receive an early copy of the sequel. It was a highly anticipated read, and I’m pleased to say it more than lived up to expectations. One of the standout elements for me was the beautifully developed found family dynamic, which added both emotional depth and warmth to the story. I cannot wait for the third installment—this series continues to impress. A solid four-star read!

I loved Phantasma (Wicked Games #1) so much when I read it last year! This was one of my most highly anticipated reads of 2025. I was so nervous that it wasn’t going to live up to my expectations, but I am happy to report that it exceeded them all! I actually loved this one even more than Phantasma!! 🥲 Kaylie Smith has definitely made it onto my list of auto buy authors with her captivating writing 👏🏼 I love that we got the same dark gothic atmosphere and games like the first one but it felt completely different. Each round of The Hunt had me on the edge of my seat. The tension, the banter, the characters, the vibes… all of it was perfection 🤌🏼

*♡Thank you to to Kaylie Smith and Second Sky for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion♡*

If you loved Phantasma, then you will love this. High stakes, forces proximity, fake marriage, grumpy/sunshine, possesive MMC and slow burn.. with a few "she's mine" moments sprinkled throughout!

I went into Enchantra blind as I didn't want to ruin any of the story, and Kaylie Smith did not disappoint!
I loved the Genevieve and Rowin and how they're relationship progressed throughout the story. Their feisty back and forth banter helped to heighten the delicious slow burn, and the payoff from this was delightfully hot!
Extra points for a cute familiar in the form of Umbra the fox :)
The story was intriguing and mesmerising from start to finish, and the ending was *chefs kiss*. I always love when characters from the first book make an appearance, so when we had scenes with Ophelia and Salem I was kicking my legs with glee.

I was a huge fan of Phantasma and Enchantra did not disappoint.

This book had me hooked! Enchantra is such a fun mix of danger, romance, and magic. Genevieve is a total badass, and Rowin? Yeah… he’s infuriating and impossible not to love. The whole cursed palace vibe is super cool and eerie, and the fake dating twist? Chef’s kiss. If you're into morally gray love interests, high-stakes drama, and a bit of spice, you’re gonna fly through this one. Definitely a new romantasy fave!

The second book in the 'Wicked Games Series'. Enchantra had big boots to fill after reading Phantasma! It was a spicy romantasy that I couldn't wait to dive into.

I did wonder whether Enchantra would be as good as Phantasma, but I soon realised it was just as good, if not better! I never thought that Genevieve and Rowin could knock Ophelia and Salem down as they did, but they did just that!

The world building, the characters, and the games...all top notch!! I was besotted by Enchantra, from beginning to end. This made it feel like I had only just started reading even though I was at the end. Oh my word, Kaylie Smith is creating a stellar series! I can't wait to see what's next!
