OBSESSED!!! The sequel to Phantasma was fantastic!!! I was obsessed with Phantasma and Enchantra was just as amazing!

I loved getting more of Genevieve and I lovedddddd Rowin!!! I was also happy to see Salem and Ophelia again!! So that was awesome.

The plot twist really got me and my heart had dropped and it was done very well!!! The back and forth banter between Rowin and Vivi were top tier and just their relationship itself!!! The story is very similar to Phantasma but it was still different! And Rowin's PIERCINGS!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH

Did I enjoy this one just as much as book one? Yes absolutely I did. This is one I read and got as an ARC on here that I just had to go get Tuesday for new book release day! Ready or not except it’s a marriage of convenience and now you’re trapped in a competition to the death with your new in-laws. Second… This book was so fun!!!! I loved the games aspect, and it takes place in Rome. The more I think about this book, the more I love it. Kaylie Smith just knows how to write really fun, sexy books. Now, the spice wasn’t as good to me as the spice in Phantasma, but I liked the MMC better in this one. Fans of Phantasma will love Enchantra as well! As I mentioned it has the same dark, deadly, wicked, twisted, and sexy vibe flowing throughout the book. I was never a big fantasy book reader but there are certain authors who have cast their magical spells on me and Kaylie Smith is one of them!

OKAYYYYY...

This was another good time!!!

Favorite Quotes:
"She's mine,"

"The light isn't something you need to chase, Genevieve. The light is wherever you are," he told her.

"I'm a creature of Hell, worshipping is not usually in my nature." Then he lowered himself between her legs and flicked his tongue out to taste her. "But for whatever time you remain in my bed, I will make it your shrine." HELLLLLL YESSSSS

"He touched my wife without permission," he bit out. "I'd have killed him for less than that.

"Nothing is eternal. Except for the fact that you've ruined me.

"Shadows can only be seen in the presence of light," he told her, the words agonized. "I worry when you leave, there will be no one left to see me."

"Love. Loathing. Same passion, different names," he told her. "And how easily and swiftly the line can be blurred, don't you think?"

Omg this book!!! Absolutely ate it up!
And this is coming from someone who absolutely adored Phantasma. Very rarely a second book hits just as hard as the first one in the series, so I was a bit sceptical but oh boy, was I wrong.
I loved every single moment of the book and Genevieve’s journey! I particularly enjoyed how the author was able to create something unique and original while setting in a way that felt coherent with the first book in the series.
Reading avoided the Hunt was brutal but the Silver family dynamics made up for it!
I absolutely love reading about family dynamics and these siblings were certainly entertaining. The family tea was immaculate as well as their devotion to each other.
Genevieve and Rowin were quite the pair! Going from strangers to husband and wife in a matter of hours certainly set the scene for wonderful banter and bickering. Right up my alley.
I loved their budding relationship as well as their personal development throughout the game.
The plot twist took me for a turn in the best way possible.
This was the perfect mix of plot, character dynamics and smut!!
Absolutely one of my favourite reads this year. Highly recommend.

I was so excited to get my hands on the advanced copy of this book. I devoured Phantasma and couldn’t wait to dive into Enchantra. It did not disappoint. This book was so dynamic and fast paced. I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to see more from Kaylee Smith in the future. This book was delicious. With lots of tension and fantastic characters. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves some fantasy and a good demon romance.

This was fantastic and so much fun! I couldn't wait to get my hands on this after the first one, and this did not disappoint. This was fast paced and exciting, packed with so many things I love (shadow daddies).

Exactly what I was looking for with a second book! This was spicy and tantalizing and fun. I love the vibes that Kaylie has created for this entire series and the characters are just so perfect. This book is unputdownable. I loved every moment of it.

KAYLIEEEEE. Another master piece!!! Like honestly chef’s kisses. I adored Viví. Like honestly her character was everything I needed her to be- confident, anti damsel need no man, and gorgeous obviously. The characters - The Cursed Silvers - were amazing and made me start hoping for more interactions. I loved the precipice of the Demon reality tv show for the fake horror piece of this novel. I genuinely wish I had more back story for some of the other characters. I loved Rowin, my broody grumpy man was def what I needed in this marriage of convenience to survive our situation. I loved their slow burn and the spice was FUEGO. I loved book 1, but this was amazing!!!

“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.”

🩸He nicknames her Trouble
🕯️She likes to bite
🩸He ✨uses✨his shadows
🕯️He’ll kill for her
🩸Two Truths and a lie
🕯️ Masquerade
🩸 Plus size rep
🕯️Labrynth vibes

Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable read and I highly recommend this series.

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!
