What starts as a glamorous Italian getaway for Genevieve Grimm quickly spirals into a deadly game of magical hide and seek because in Enchantra, losing isn’t just embarrassing, it’s eternal damnation.

Kaylie Smith’s spicy fantasy romance throws you into a palace of peril, secrets, and seduction.

Genevieve, tired of being overshadowed in her own family, arrives looking for a fairytale escape… and instead finds Rowin Silver, her gorgeous, infuriating, and possibly cursed new nemesis. He’s a walking red flag in designer boots and unfortunately, her only shot at surviving the nightmare she's stumbled into.

Why you’ll be obsessed:

Enchantra is a darkly seductive thrill ride full of deadly beauty, biting banter, and enough sexual tension to melt marble.

Fans of Throne of Glass, Cruel Prince, or Hunger Games with a hellish twist will eat this up and beg for more.

Good book, just not for me. Too much spice & not enough plot in my opinion.

I absolutely devoured *Enchantra* and I’m still reeling! Kaylie Smith delivered something fresh and addictive, different from *Phantasma* but with all the feels I love. The enchanted Italian estate and deadly game of hide and seek had me hooked, and the marriage of convenience between Vivi and Rowin—*chef’s kiss*.

Rowin’s sarcastic, brooding vibe mixed with his shadow powers had me swooning nonstop, and Vivi is a fierce, confident badass who stole my heart. Their slow-burn chemistry and the sibling dynamics gave the story so much heart. I NEED a book for each Silver sibling!

The stakes were high, the tension electric, and the game’s magical reality-show twist was brilliant. The ending felt rushed but that cliffhanger?? I’m still not over it. Plus, the Ophelia and Blackwell cameo was the perfect treat!

If you love enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn romance, shadow magic, and fierce heroines, this is a must-read. Mature themes ahead—check trigger warnings. Can’t wait for book three!

This was a perfectly adequate sequel! Like the first I was confused at times at picturing what was going on but I love the imagination behind it

Absolutely LOVED! I actually enjoyed this even more than Phantasma (which I didn’t think was possible!!). Pick this up now and please read it!

I had an Advanced Listener Copy thanks to NetGalley and I am just now getting around to finishing it. I loveddddd the MMC but something was missing for this to be a 4 or 5 star read. I would have appreciated more of the games aspect like the first book. Can’t wait for book 3!

I really wanted to like this. I loved Phantasma so I was expecting to have a blast with this book but I just couldn't get into it. The story felt like it was a regurgitation of the first one but the plot didn't feel as well thought out for this set of characters. I will still continue to read this author's work, I just didn't enjoy this.

I will say that the narrator did a great job.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 🤌🏻🖤✨ Enchantra is everything. A darkly addictive masterpiece I’ll never stop recommending! Kaylie & Second Sky Books - thank you for letting me read this incredible book. 🥵

We all know my thoughts on Phantasma.. if you haven't seen my summary, just open Enchantra and it's there. *Pinch me moment* 😍🥹

📚 My second book review within The Wicked Games series👇🏻

"This book has completely consumed me - in the best possible way. Receiving it felt like a true honour, and I’ve read it more than three times already... it’s that unforgettable. It’s not just a story - it’s *my* ultimate gothic paranormal romance.

The eerie charm of an Italian palace, a cursed game with deadly consequences, and a fake romance that spirals into something deeper, it’s everything I crave in a dark fantasy!

Genevieve is sharp, fierce, and endlessly compelling. Rowin is the kind of mysterious, brooding love interest you fall for despite yourself - moody, magnetic, and hiding more than he lets on.. 🥵 Their chemistry is electric, and the twisted, high-stakes game they’re trapped in adds an edge that keeps you holding on for dear life!

This book is rich with atmosphere, dripping in tension, and layered with secrets. It’s haunting, seductive, and totally unforgettable. I’ve been recommending it to everyone I know, and I’ll keep doing so—because reads like this don’t come around often. Well done Kaylie - you've done it once again." 👏🏻

I loved everything about this- If you liked Phantasma i think you would struggle not to like this. It was such a fun and fast paced read. The narration is paired so well with these books.

A shadow daddy, enemies to lovers and a fake marriage; a recipe for energee to devour a book and lemme tell you I ATE IT UPPPPP.

The progression of Rowin and Vivi's relationship was SO MUCH fun to watch. The tension and chemistry between them was practically wafting off the damn pages from the very first meeting. I LOVED the banter between them too and holy shit the MOUTH on Rowin???? Had me giggling and kicking my feet. I loved how their feelings developed, it wasn't too fast or too slow, it was the perfect speed, for me at least. Vivi is also such a wonderful character. I adored watching her grow/change little by little to become the badass bitch that she is. I already loved her from the first book but getting to be inside her head really just made me love her even more.

Also, SEVIN?? Oh man, if the next book isn't his I will be rioting. I loved him SO BAD, he had me dying in every scene he was in. Honestly though. Rowin's entire family was so interesting, I NEED to know more about them all. The ending definitely was setting up for the next book and frankly I need it NOW.

Kaylie Smith has made my love for romantasty anew and honestly instilled a soul aching need for the rest of this series that I will harbor until I get my grubby little hands on them. I'm also very happy to report that this book did not suffer the curse of the 2nd series book. 5 fucking stars.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this audiobook ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve been sitting here for … well weeks at this point trying to put into words how amazing this book was/is. Kaylie has an amazing ability to drag you right into her worlds and the next thing you know you’ve reached the end and you’re speechless because … wow! I SO enjoyed getting to know Genevieve more in this book and fell in love with her character. I also fell in love with a lot of the side characters and I will be beside myself if they don’t get their own books eventually! I need MORE! 5 star read yet again. 😍

Enchantra swept me away in a single sitting! After Phantasma became one of my favorite reads last year, I wasn’t sure if this follow-up could match my love for Ophelia and Blackwell’s story. But Genevieve gets the spotlight this time, and though she started off a bit bratty for my taste, she seriously grew on me. Rowin is absolute book boyfriend material. He’s patient, respectful, and incredibly hot, especially during the very spicy scenes (which he navigates with constant care and consent, a total win).

Laura Horowitz’s narration is just magic. I already love her work, but I swear her “guy voice” is better than half the male narrators I’ve listened to: deep, expressive, and somehow hotter than it has any right to be. She really brought Rowin to life. No major twists here, but the pacing and romance had me hooked. I’m already counting down the days until book three.

I liked Phantasma but Enchantra was INCREDIBLE. The storyline really worked for me and the romance was done super well. I am normally not the biggest fan of enemies to lovers but this one was *chefs kiss*. Laura Horowitz absolutely killed this audiobook! Definitely need to check out more from her. So excited to see what is next from this author!

Thank you so much to Bookouture Audio and Second Sky Books for allowing me to be an early reader. All thoughts are my own.

I really wanted to love Enchantra because I loved Phantasma last year, but I really struggled with it, if I'm honest.

I listened to the audiobook (courtesy of Netgalley), but I really struggled to get into it. The first third of the book could not hold my attention at all. I restarted it on four different ocassions thinking it was me and perhaps I just wasn't in the right headspace for it at the time, but I don't think this was the problem. Speading it up to 1.5 helped (I never speed up audio books, but this one was read so slowly it was painfull), but i think the reality is the first third of the book in general was just too slow paced for my liking. It did pick up pace for the second half which I enjoyed much more, but the plot was nothing new.

It followed the same formulaic pattern of most enemies to lovers romantasies these days, and felt like just another rehash of Phantasma and the Caraval Series by Stephanie Garber but with different character names.

In summary if you like a formulaic enemies to lovers romantasy with very little fantasy and world building you'd probably enjoy this, it's got great ratings from others, but for me, I'm starting to get bored of reading the same plot line over and over, that's takes half the book before anything really gets going.

YES YES YES!!! GIVE ME MORE!

Kaylie Smith has done it again with her addictive gothic romance books. Enchantra is a slower burn compared with Phantasma but still so addictive. It has the same deadly and addictive story that was in Phantasma. The stakes are high in this book, Genevieve must marry a stranger and then play the deadly games of hide and seek with her new husband and his siblings. I like how the author incorporated the viewers watching it all play out like a tv gameshow. I loved Geneieve and Rowin together, they balance each other out.
I cant wait for more books in this series!!

Thank you to the author and Netgalley for the opportunity to listen to an ALC!

I absolutely loved Enchantra!

The writing style drew me in right away—beautifully descriptive and full of atmosphere. It’s a fantastic follow-up to the first book, building on the world and characters in all the right ways.

The chemistry between Genevieve and Rowin was electric; I could really feel the passion and tension between them as their fake romance started to feel all too real.

I’m completely hooked and already counting down the days until the next book in the series!

this book was incredible and I LOVED the audio! Rowan and Vivi are one of my all time favorite couples and the ending to their story had me sobbing 🥹 in the best way. I thought this would be a continuation of Phamtasma, but I was pleasantly surprised that this one was about the sister’s love story instead because Vivi is hilarious. I loved these characters, especially Rowin’s crazy family, and the forced proximity of the competition made for some steamy moments! I just cannot wait for the next one to come out! all these couples have been top tier and I can’t wait to read what else the author creates!

Enchantra was a fast-paced and enjoyable read. I listened to the audiobook version and found the narration captivating - it really brought the story to life. I actually enjoyed this even more than Phantasma. The marriage of convenience trope is always a favourite of mine.
However, the trials felt a bit repetitive.

If I hear the word trouble one more time 🥴 This book lost a star from me for the amount of times he called her trouble it took some of the enjoyment from the story for me was so repetitive and cringy just didn't work the way it was supposed to. I enjoyed the story and the characters as much as Phantasma but that one issue took from my enjoyment. I will definitely still continue the series.

I listened to this on audio and it was well read and I followed along and enjoyed listening to it.

Thank you to Netgalley, Bookouture Audio and Kaylie Smith for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

After reading the kindle version of this i can say I enjoyed this just as much on audio. The narrator did a great job of bringing the characters to life and the vibe was perfect.
