Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for a copy to review.

Ok, this author speaks my language. In the first book of this series, I felt so connected to the main character due to the OCD rep - I have OCD and the main character was still strong and capable. At that point, the author had me so I went into the sequel ready to swoon. I was not disappointed. Kaylie Smith does trials and games like no one else. There is an element of uniqueness that sets them apart from every other trials/games.

Kaylie’s characters are always strong with flaws which is relatable and easy to root for. The male characters are morally gray but you still root for them. So far, I am loving this series so keep them coming! 4.25

This book was such a delightful surprise. The characters felt so real and warm that I couldn’t help but root for them with every page. Each had their flaws, yet that only made them more lovable. I adored the banter, the small moments of vulnerability, and the way their growth unfolded. It’s a story that lingers in your heart long after you finish.

I really enjoyed this book, it felt faster paced and a bit darker and spicier than the first book in the series. I liked the trials aspect, and the way it was both similar in some ways and very different in others, to Phantasma.

There were parts to the story that I felt could have been explored deeper, such as the family's history, and the relationship with their parents. But I really enjoyed the complicated interactions between the siblings who clearly cared very deeply for each other, despite being trapped in this seemingly endless cycle of killing each other every year so the entertainment of the citizens of Hell. The relationship between the main characters was deliciously complicated, a very unique twist on a marriage of convenience trope.

I'd definitely recommend this book to romantasy readers who enjoy a spicy romance full of devilish characters.

I really liked this book. It had a lot of the same elements of Phantasma but also felt different enough that it felt like a separate story. I loved all the siblings and how they all interacted together. Genevieve was a fun character even if she never listened to anyone. Rowan was an absolute delight and I loved him immediately.

Arranged marriage, wicked games with an insane family, and most importantly? A shadow wielding, tatted, pierced and devious MMC!

These books are fun and pure vibes — don’t start overthinking things, just enjoy the ride and you’ll have a great time!

Hmmm is book 3 Sevin? Because if so, I’m SO in!

If you enjoyed Phantasma then you will not be disappointed by the sequel. I loved the characters, and I was so engaged with their romance. I loved the trials, and the twists and turns kept me guessing at every point! I’m usually the kind of person who guesses the ending of a book, but I can honestly say I was surprised by the ending of Enchantra!

Enchantra completely swept me off my feet—it’s vibrant, magical, and utterly addictive. I loved how immersive the world-building was; every detail felt alive and enchanting. The characters were wonderfully complex, and their relationships added so much heart to the story. I found myself turning pages nonstop, fully invested in their journey, and came away feeling thrilled and satisfied. This book is pure magic from start to finish.

Enchantra by Kaylie Smith was a glorious follow up to Phantasma!

I wasn’t sure if it would be able to keep up against Ophelia and Salem’s story, but Genevieve and Rowin were next level. Whenever the two of them would let go and just be physical, it was a spectacle. This is especially true of Genevieve. She has no issue with being straight forward about her desires. She is a confident woman, and no one will shame her for being vivacious.

What Makes Genevieve Special?
Genevieve Grimm is a bad @ss, smart-mouthed, spit fire of trouble. She’s the younger sister in a family with a legacy to uphold. Feeling like the “spare child” she was somewhat neglected growing up. Which causes her to make some risky choices in order to find answers about her specter nature. She was naive when she found Enchantra, looking to find someone who would be just like her. It’s undeniable that she finds precisely what she needs.

Another devil, another game.
Much like Phantasma, Enchantra is an evil game with dire consequences for Genevieve. The deadly game is orchestrated by a different demon with his own sickening motives. In Enchantra, she finds herself much more vulnerable than her time in Phantasma, and she’s forced to rely on Rowin for survival from the moment the game commences. Of course they think that they’re faking their spicy chemistry as a show for the spectators of Enchantra. It isn’t long before they realize that the attraction is real, and they really like the attention.

I enjoyed this title quite a lot. The combination of one of my favourite tropes, complex sibling relationships, magic houses, violent games, and hot sex made this an extremely fun read.

I appreciated the continuity from Phantasma, and found Genevieve to be an extremely plausible younger sister. She grew from impetuous and annoying to something (more) akin to brave and likeable by the end. There was a fair bit of the wounded bird needing saving cliché, but the steamy sex made up for it.

Gah I have no idea why I waited so long to read the arc of this I received! I think I was worried it wouldn't live up to the first one, but I couldn't have been more wrong!! I absolutely loved this book! Kaylie Smith is so creative and innovative. I have loved her ideas for romantasy and cannot wait to read her next one and find out which character we were introduced to that will receive the next book!! Genevieve and Rowin were the cutest! I loved their story development and love story. Sometimes they feel unrealistic in romantasy but this one was perfect!! Do not wait to read this series if you haven't already!!

Big thank you to Kaylie Smith, Second Sky/Forever, and NetGalley for an eArc to read and review!!

this book wow i am addicted!!! I love the trials, enemies to lovers, demons!!! I can’t get enough of this world.

Enchantra was a dark, sexy, and twisted ride from beginning to end. I loved Enchantra even more than Phatasma and I can't wait for more books in the series. Genevieve was an absolute firecracker of a character and Rowin was the perfect grump to her sunshine.

Well everyone, Kaylie Smith has done it again. After how much I absolutely loved the first book, I just had to get my hands on this one, because I knew that I would love this one just as much, if not more. And I was completely correct. Taking a step away from the Phantasma games, we now find ourselves in a game held by the Silver family, where they have to kill each other, and the last one standing, wins the game. After accidentally becoming a part of the games, Genevieve ties herself to Rowin Silver, one of the members of the family, to attempt to survive the games, and free Rowin from the game. The game was basically a glorified hide and seek, with murder, and it was so interesting and unique that I just devoured every word. Even what was happening between each round grabbed my attention and didn't let go.

Genevieve was such a good, strong main character that was able to hold her own, even as she was trying to battle and protect herself against the rest of the Silver Family. Rowin was SUCH a well written character, with a lot of layers and personality. As a couple, there was a bit of build up, due to a pretend marriage between the two, and a lot of tension but the romance was SOOOO good when they finally cracked.

Thank you to Second Sky/Forever, Kaylie Smith, and NetGalley for the eARC of this book. This is my honest review.

I have left this on my TBR for longer than it deserved. I loved Phantasma, but I wasn't sure how Enchantra could recapture the magic. I owe Kaylie Smith an apology because this book was just as good as Phantasma, and in fact better. Smith literally tortures her protagonists, and Genevieve's story is so much darker than I imagined it could be when we met her in Phantasma. She doesn't have Ophelia's intrusive thoughts, and the horror is far more domestic than Phantasma, but the stakes feel even higher. The moment when Vivi enters Enchantra's doors was riveting. Like seriously who are all these people and why are they so stabby?! The humor of their lack of hospitality is endearing, and Vivi's unwavering faith in herself is such a contrast to Ophelia's self-doubt it only makes their sibling dynamic more real.
The games themselves are murderous, basically choosing different rules for a deadly game of hide and seek each round. It is simple, but I was still curious each round what the new rules would be and how Vivi was going to survive despite impossible odds. And the spice here is spicy. Smith killed it with the games, world-building, creating unique characters, and romance. It made me want to reread Phantasma.
Speaking of which, you probably should do that before reading this one because I was unclear at first on a few details I'd forgotten from Phantasma, and it mattered.
There are still unanswered questions at the end, like the rift between one set of twins, but it makes me want to read more from Smith and put more faith in her next time to deliver as promised.
I read both the ebook (thanks for the breakdown of Wraiths at the beginning!) and the audiobook. Laura Horowitz is such a great romantasy reader. I always love listening to her books with her wide range.
Huge thanks to NetGalley and Second Sky for this ARC! I really enjoyed reading this in one day 💖

A wild game where an immortal family plus a mortal in-law must fight to the death to stay out of he'll.
This is the definition of rivals to lovers with a good dose of forced proximity and a marriage of convenience and enough scorching spice to keep you turning the pages.
All of you will love seeing Genevieve's development as she goes from longing to belong to kicking butt and taking names.
The plot twists in this will keep you guessing until the end, and when you think it can't get any spicier, you will spontaneously combust.

First off, it’s been a while since I’ve read Phantasma, but the two books were separated enough that I could make out the details. Kaylie Smith has a beautifully unique way of writing that really captures the readers attention. The paragraphs flow smoothly, the imagery is strong, and the characters seem like old friends.

Genevieve and Rowin have the perfect enemies to lovers trope. While Genevieve is far from the innocent girl many think she is, Rowin is dark, mysterious, and brooding. As soon as he’s introduced in the story, I can already tell they are a perfect match for each other.

As expected, Kaylie Smith gave another incredible game, filled to the brim with devils, otherworldly creatures, and intrigue. The whole idea of Barrington being a familiar to a powerful devil and trying to break free, but ending up cursing his children to play an annual game called the hunt is brilliant.

I found this book somehow to be more mysterious than the first. I’m really looking forward to reading the next installment!!

I was terrified to start this because even if I loved Phantasma, the romance was not my favorite. However, this one blew my mind!
The characters were well thought out and I enjoyed their development. Umbra is my fave side-kick ever and even the villain was interesting to read about.
Great writing and fun plot! Loved that the spice was not as frequent and we got to see a little bit of a slower burn.

This was such a fun read, love the concept, love a shadow daddy, love the romantasy! The storyline was great too!

I didn't think I could possibly enjoy this book as much as Phantasma but I loved it so much more. Genevieve is such a fun character. I had no idea where the twists were going.

I was so excited to read about Genevieve and get a new book! Genevieve was such a fun character in book 1 and I loved her even more in book 2! She's so feisty and sassy. I also loved how moody and broody Rowin was.
