*Thank you to NetGalley for this audiobook ARC*

This was my most highly anticipated book of 2025 after devouring Phantasma and needing more more more!
Enchantra had me hooked from the first few chapters and the constant flow of adrenaline throughout the book was so satisfying. I had the best time listening to this. Genevieve is a fierce, no holding back FMC and the trope enemies to lovers was written for her. HEAVY on the enemies part! Rowan was delicious. Sultry with his words and immediately protective of Genevieve. The hunt that is Enchantra was so beautifully crafted, it kept me on my toes the whole time. Every game was more intense than the last one and equally addicting. I loved the siblings interactions with each other. Seven and Grave are my favorite side characters. I have found my favorite series to date. The audiobook was phenomenal. The writing, the storyline, all the different characters. I can't express enough how good this book was.

Enchantra is an equally amazing sequel to Phantasma. I loved every single moment of it!
We get the same gothic, eerie and magical vibes which are found in the mansion Enchantra and with the same occult presence I loved in Phantasma! There are demons, wraiths, phantoms, familiars... the paranormal world really expanded in this book. The world really sucks you in and immerses you making you feel like you're in a fairytale turned wrong.

As for the romance...ummm Rowan and Genevieve literally have my whole heart. Literally all of my favorite tropes were in this book!
- Hate to love
- Forced proximity
- Marriage of convenience
- Deadly trials
This all lead to such a sizzling relationship full of heat and tension and a lot of amazing spice.

The ending was so sweet as well and I found that it wrapped up really well. I'm so excited for book 3!

As I audiobooked this I also have to say that the narrator did an amazing job! She is so expressive with her voice and really captures all the emotions really well. She has become one of my favorite narrators to date.

Enchatra was such a fun and enchanting read. It followed the story of Genevieve after the events of Phantasma. I wasn’t sure how the story would continue, but we still see the same broody/dark MMCs and deadly games in Enchantra.

I really enjoyed the dynamics of the Silver family and how they are completely twisted and borderline psychotic but also supportive of each other. The ending is fantastic with a HEA but also a cliffhanger leading to book 3!

The audiobook was FANTASTIC. I loved it so much. This book was so great. It really drew me in and so happy. Genevieve’s story was phenomenally done.

I love an interlinked series & I just knew I'd love this book. Genevieve was one of those characters I just wanted more from in Phantasma & now in her story she delivered.

Laura Horowitz narration was excellent as always & she just brings something extra to these books.

No nonsense FMC, dark & secretive MMC, marriage of convenience, sibling banter, games & trials. This book has so much going for it. A fab listen.

Phantasma was one of my top reads and top recs last year and I was so loud about my obsession with Genevieve! So it’s no surprise that 𝘌𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢 was one of my most anticipated reads of this year.

Now picture my reaction when I received both an ALC for the audiobook AND an ARC of 𝘌𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢. Screaming, crying, throwing up levels of excitement.

𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝐼 𝐿𝑜𝓋𝑒𝒹 ♥
⊹⊹𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘮…duh! I am ride or die for her. Her attitude, that sharp tongue, the energy?? She is me and I am her!
⊹⊹𝘙𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯 + 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦: the banter? the tension? the slow-burn romance? I was feral! Their chemistry was explosive in the best way.

And we can’t forget about Laura Horowitz. She bodied the narration. Her take on Genevieve? *chef’s kiss* She brought every character to life with so much personality and nuance. I binged the audiobook in a single day because I physically couldn’t stop listening.

Thank you Forever, Second Sky, Bookouture, and NetGalley for the gifted audiobook and physical copy.

Enchantra was such a fun and addictive listen! I really enjoyed the gothic fantasy vibes, the fast pace, and the chemistry between Genevieve and Rowin. Laura Horowitz did an amazing job narrating—she brought every character to life and kept me totally hooked. The banter between the main characters had me smiling constantly, and the spicy scenes were definitely a highlight. I loved Genevieve as a main character—she was relatable, strong, and not your typical fantasy heroine. Rowin was your classic broody, morally gray love interest, and yes, he was hot. The whole fake dating/forced proximity situation was done so well, and the world of Enchantra with its deadly games and curses kept things tense and exciting. While I liked Phantasma, I think this one had stronger character dynamics. The atmosphere wasn’t quite as rich, but the story made up for it. This was a great audiobook experience, and I’m already excited for book three!
Very grateful to @bookoture for my alc , opinions are my own

Marriage of convenience? Devils’ playground? Broody groom? Feisty heroine? Say less.

This book is darkly delicious in all the best ways. We pick up shortly after Phantasma—Ophelia’s in devilish domestic bliss while Genevieve is spiraling, searching for answers about their mother’s past. That search lands her smack in the middle of a twisted, high-stakes game where the only way out is to marry a wraith who is desperate for his own escape. No big deal. Oh—and the estate? A looking glass for devilish spectators in the Silver family’s annual hunt. No one’s leaving untouched.

Last year, I fell hard for Phantasma, and Enchantra might be even better. I tore through the e-ARC and audiobook like my soul depended on it. Wickedly atmospheric, sexy as hell, and packed with tension that lingers—this book is gothic paranormal romance perfection.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy!

I am SO HERE for this dark and whimsical world that Kaylie has created! I was pulled right into Rowin + Vivi’s story and I CANNOT GET ENOUGH! Bring me ALL the Kaylie books because I am here to devour them.

I was in love with Phantasma but Enchantra is seriously just as good and I am always down for a marriage of convenience. I loved how protective Rowin is and every time he said she’s mine or my wife i was 😮‍💨🥵

Vivi reminded me a lot of myself and I loved how sassy she was! She was exactly what Rowin needed.

I also loved the familiars and Silver family moments. I felt like they added so much to this story! 💕

One of my favorite books from 2025 so go grab it RIGHT NOW 😈

I absolutely loved this book! Rowin is my new fav! That mirror scene was so unexpected and so hot tbh. I had to turn my audio down in the car, ha! I listened to the audiobook arc for Phantasma and absolutely loved it. The narrator did an amazing job. I love her work so much and the life she brings to the characters. 5/5, I loved this book just as much as the last. Possibly more!

Genevieve Grimm se ha sentido a la deriva desde que su hermana se convirtió en cabeza de familia. Así que, cuando un misterioso amigo de su madre la invita a Italia, acepta. Llega a su gran palacio esperando pasión y magia, decadencia y lujo... quizás incluso un baile de medianoche. Ella no espera que el despiadadamente atractivo hijo del dueño le cierre la puerta en la cara. Rowin y su familia están atrapados en un insidioso juego, donde sólo uno puede ganar.

Este libro es todo lo que nos dio Phantasma, pero mejorado. Una atmósfera gótica, una protagonista muy inteligente, un interés amoroso misterioso, y una trama muy envolvente. Los personajes secundarios que conocemos en este nuevo libro son todos muy interesantes.

5/5⭐
5/5🎧(solo) Laura Horowitz como siempre hace un trabajo impecable dando vida a los personajes con su actuación.

Another amazing narration from @laura_horowitz_narrator. Definitely 5⭐️ for the audiobook. She always keeps me engaged with the story and the characters. Everything comes to life in her narration.

4.5⭐️It’s Genevieve’s time to shine. Considering she’s always felt under her sister’s shadow, it’s hard for her to feel her own worth. A letter arrives inviting her to Enchantra. She survived Phantasma. How much worse could Enchantra be. She arrives to be stopped at the door. When she sneaks in, she doesn’t expect to be trapped into a challenge of siblings called The Hunt. Genevieve must now run throw and maze of thorns and marble. The only way she can survive is to strike a deal with Rowin. They will do this together. But Genevieve can’t ignore the attraction she has to Rowin. But he’s just trying to win The Hunt. He doesn’t really care about her. Or does he?

Thank you to @netgalley @bookouture @secondskybooks and @kaylsmoon for the advanced listener copy. I’m so incredibly grateful.

The Grimms are back and this time we get Genevieve’s story! She gets a mysterious invite to Italy and when she arrives expecting a dazzling time, she’s met with a more than grumpy Rowin who doesn’t want her there. She soon finds out that Rowin and his family are playing a dark game of hide and seek where everyone but the winner will be trapped in hell until the next competition. She’s forced to join the game and her best bet at survival is with Rowin so they decide to enter into a “courtship” since they’re able to play in pairs.

I LOVED Phantasma and was so excited to listen to this next book! I had an absolute blast with it. It did have a different feel than book one but I have zero complaints, the different vibe was necessary I feel. I love the dark games in these games so much!

The narrators did great at portraying the characters.

Thank you so much to Kaylie Smith and Bookoutre Audio for providing this free ARC. This is my honest review. Happy pub day!!

Damn, if only I could use more stars to rate this masterpiece- cuz 5 won’t cut it. Oh my LORD how I loved this book!!! I had the pleasure of simultaneously listening to the ALC, and reading the ARC, and this immersive experience was absolutely mind blowing. I didn’t want it to end, and tried to make it last as long as possible. I’m already feeling bereft without these characters and this beautiful world. 😩 Phantasma has been my entire personality since I read the arc last year. I still think about it constantly, and I’ve never been able to shake it. And I’m not sure what sorcery Kaylie is dabbling in, but I somehow loved Enchantra even more! And that’s truly saying something.

This story picks up after the events of Phantasma, and centers around Genevieve Grimm, who has accepted an invitation from a mysterious friend of her mother’s. She travels to the estate of Enchantra, hoping to find answers about her mother‘s death, and perhaps become acquainted with some kindred spirits. But Genevieve unknowingly traps herself in the cursed mansion, and is forced to partake in a deadly game, along with a family who has been stuck in a never ending loop of torment.

Genevieve must team up with the insufferable Rowin, who makes her blood boil… for several different reasons. They have to convince everyone that they’re in love, and holy hells this was absolutely delicious. 🥵 Guys- the freaking BANTER!! I simply passed away from their heated exchanges. As they maneuvered their way from one game to the next, their attraction and bond grew deeper, and it was equal parts heartwarming, and hot as hell. I loved watching two characters, with walls built around themselves, slowly let their guards down and develop mutual trust. The way they found solace and comfort in each other was fcking beautiful.
And I fell in love with every one of Rowin’s siblings. Their dynamic was pure gold- they bickered, and viciously competed against each other, but you could still feel the love. And the way Genevieve slid seamlessly into this found family situation just melted my heart. 🥹

The tension. The enemies to lovers. The fake relationship that turned into so much more. The action and clever games. The chemistry and SPICE!! 💀 I just can’t say enough about this book, and I’m already chomping at the bit to be back in this world. If you haven’t read Phantasma yet, get on that STAT, then dive into this beauty. I envy anyone who gets to read these books for the first time.

🎧And as for the audiobook, the incomparable Laura Horowitz was SHEER PERFECTION. I’m at a loss for words on how to describe her performance- she just nailed it, and beautifully coveyed every emotion, ever morsel of angst, every hint of sorrow and fear. She had me feeling ALL OF IT. She BECAME each and every one of those characters. And her freaking man voice… it’s utterly to die for. She does spice like no other, and I was MELTING. 10/10 all day long. 👑👏🏻👏🏻

💫Thank you @secondskybooks @foreverpub & @bookoture for the ARC and the ALC!

A deadly game of hide and seek in a darkly enchanted palace set in Italy, Enchantra will draw you right in, wherther you are ready or not! When they say you should never make a deal with the devil they are not kidding around. Genevieve Grimm is no stranger to dark games after surviving Phantasma, but she defintiely gets a lot more than she expected when she's invited by a mysterious friend of her mother to Italy, only to find she has stepped into another deadly game. The only way to survive is to marry Rowin Silver and play as a pair in the deadly game that his family has been trapped in for years. Kaylie Smith creates the most amazing and unique worlds. Rowin and Genevieve definitely start off as enemies, but with their lives on the line, "pretending" to be smitten newlyweds is required and everyone is watching....everything. Forced proximity definitely works in their favor and as the games progress so do their feeings for each other. The games continue below the surface and Genevieve knows Rowin is keeping secrets along with the rest of the family. This story is dark, twisty and spicy and you will defiitely be drawn in and it definitely sets the stage for the next book, which I predict will involve both sisters and their beaus!

Laura Horowitz is back to narrate book two and her voice just add the perfect haunting edge. She is also able to capture the essence of all the characters that just adds so much depth to the listening experience.

I never thought I could love a book more than Phantasma, but I was wrong! This book has completely captured my heart and soul! Genevieve has bewitched me with her funny, sarcastic, and fierce characteristics. She is a refreshing change from the typical MFCs found in most romantacy novels.
When Genevieve enters the House of Enchantra, she quickly realizes it’s a dangerous game, much like Phantasma, only dark, dangerous and filled with deadly games full of peril. She came to Enchantra seeking answers about her curse and a way to break it, but what she doesn’t expect is to be forced into a marriage with the devilishly handsome Rowin. Yet, if she wants to survive and win, she has no choice but to except her fate.
The chemistry between Genevieve and Rowin is absolutely perfect and steamy! I also enjoyed the dynamics between Rowin and his family, their utter distruction of each other all while they are all pursuing the same goal… freedom. It added an unexpected layer of is heartbreak to their story.
And the narration by the incredible Laura Horowitz was on another level! Her voice brought the characters to life in such a way that I not only wanted to own the book but the audiobook as well, so I could listen to it time and time again!
Genevieve and Rowin will always have a special place in my heart, and their story will play on an endless loop in my mind.

Words cannot describe how much I loved this book! After reading Phantasma I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one! This story kept me on the edge of my seat and it was nearly impossible to stop listening to it. Laura did an amazing job narrating this story and I truly love her voice acting! Rowin has made his way to the top of my favorite MMCs and I can't wait to see what comes next for his family. I absolutely loved this book and I am so excited to see what Kaylie comes out with next!

OVERALL BOOK REVIEW:
chef’s. kiss. #WELLYES. this was everything i wished it to be and more. i am unhealthy levels of obsessed with genevieve and rowin. this book was a blast — i loved enchantra and the hunt. the game was so screwed up (queen kaylie writes really terrifying paranormal competitions like a BEAST) and all too captivating. some of the kills came out of left field and i was like HELLO. anyway, so awesome and fun. i was locked in. the romance?!?! yeah i need some water because i need to cool down. GIRL. rowington silver you sexy wraith! i am all about this man! i highlighted every single time the word “wife” came out of his mouth because i was simply so down bad. also every time he called her “trouble.” he’s just THAT GUY. and miss vivi was servingggggg!!!! a mortal locking down an immortal will always be iconic. tbh i love the entire silver family (the siblings, i lowkey don’t care about barrington at all) and cannot wait to get more moments of sevin and grave in book three. the plot twist was more like a double plot twist and had me running through my house with my kindle. i love a secret. i had such a good time with this book and will miss this world so much. 10/10 please let kaylie smith write in this universe forever.

thank you forever for the ARC!!!!

AUDIO REVIEW:
while i loved this book and read it in hybrid form, i was more inclined to read my digital galley than the audiobook. i didn’t find the audio engaging despite the story itself being very much so, which made my desire to listen a lot lower. the narrators were fine, but could have used more inflection and oomph in their delivery. however, again, the book itself was good and in technical terms the audio was very good with volume consistency, clarity, etc.

“Shadows can only be seen in the presence of light.”

5 ⭐️

💜I loved this book so much. Genevieve is trying to track down answers about her family and her mother’s past and ends up stuck in a deadly game of hide and seek. The Silvers play the game every year to entertain the devils and in exchange Knox keeps their mother alive who is dying of crimson rot. Genevieve’s only chance at survival is to marry Rowin Silver who’s won the last 15 years of the game. & I mean Rowin is 🥵 so she got herself a pretty good deal.

“The light is wherever you are.”

• marriage of convenience
• curves FMC rep
• shadow wielder MMC with piercings
• deadly games
• found family
• fox familiar

I’m already so excited for Wicked Games # 3.

Thank you second sky books, bookouture audio, and NetGalley for the ARC and audiobook!
