Kaylie Smith has delivered another breathtakingly addictive read with “Enchantra,” proving once again her mastery of the games and trials genre. I often find it challenging for authors to maintain suspense in such narratives, knowing the protagonist’s survival is a given, and vividly portraying high-stakes action can be a hurdle. However, Kaylie navigates this brilliantly, exceeding even the high bar set by her previous work, “Phantasma.” The subtle nods to “Phantasma” sprinkled throughout “Enchantra” were a delightful treat for me, but the latter shines brightly entirely on its own.
The initial clash between Genevieve and the brooding Rowin Silver is electric, setting the stage for a tumultuous and utterly captivating journey. Rowin embodies the irresistible “shadow daddy” trope, and every possessive endearment had me swooning. Yet, it’s Genevieve who truly steals the show for me. Kaylie has crafted a heroine who is not only relatable with her insecurities but also fiercely independent, witty, and incredibly brave. Her curvy physique and sharp tongue make her a refreshing and empowering protagonist.
As Genevieve and Rowin navigate the treacherous and beautifully described labyrinth of the deadly game, their forced alliance under a fake courtship blossoms into a sizzling attraction. The tension is palpable, heightened by the constant threat of the game and the secrets Rowin guards closely. “Enchantra” expertly weaves together thrilling action, undeniable chemistry, and a compelling mystery, leaving you breathless and utterly obsessed. This book is a must-read!

Kaylie has done it again! At this point I would gladly read her grocery list!
Phantasma was one of my favorite reads last year so I had really high hopes for Enchantra and it did not dissapoint! I already loved Genevieve in her sisters book but I love her even more now! I love how she’s outspoken, confident and just unapologetically herself.
I really love the found family trope and I think this book has one of my favorites now! All of Rowin’s siblings have stolen my heart and don’t even get me started on Umbra his shadow fox familiar!
The tension and the slowburn was delicious and I’m really big on banter so I was very pleased with the fact that there is plenty of that between everyone!
I inhaled this book and was giggling and kicking my feet up constantly and pterodactyl screeching at the end (sqealing does not cover the sounds I made!) The vibes were kinda like Phantasma but also very different if that makes any sense! I can’t recommend it enough and I can’t wait for the next book!

It says something when you have an Early copy of the book but still go and purchase the finished version to have on your shelf. This was one of my highly anticipated books for 2025 and it did not disappoint!!
Many times when I’ve read a fantastic book the second one goes through different levels of a sophomore slump, especially when the series is to continue on. Not only did that not happen this book surpassed Phantasma!
One problem I had with Phantasma, which was one of my favorite books of 2024, and prevented me from giving it 5 stars was that it had too much spice in it. Now I didn’t mind spice but the plot and writing was so good it didn’t need as much as it had as it took away from the story.
Thankfully, in Enchantra that did NOT happen. It was very well balanced where the spice supported and uplifted the plot appropriately. I loved the relationship between Rowin and d Genevieve and how it built throughout the book. The games were even more engaging than what she and her sister had to endure in Phantasma.
I am so incredible thankful to have gotten a complimentary audio ALC from Second Sky, and particularly Noelle H through NetGalley to read which gave me the opportunity to voluntarily leave a review.
At first I wasn’t sure about the Narrator, Laura Horowitz but I couldn’t put my finger on why when I first started listening. I had been so excited to start it that when o got access at 5:15am I started it immediately. I made it to 20% and exhaustion won out so I went back to bed.
I decided to start it from the beginning again when I was able to sit down and listen again. I am so glad so did because Horowitz did a fabulous job! It was such a great example of how your experience listening to a book can be completely transformed depending on your mood and tiredness or lack there of.
Horowitz did a great job with all the different voices and I appreciate that she didn’t choose a high pitch for Genevieve despite her being a young woman. She also spoke a a fairly natural pace, a little on the slower end of typical, at the 1x speed. I did bump it up to 1.25x but no further as I didn’t want to rush listening.
The book comes out on April 8th 2025 and I can’t wait to get my physical copy! I also can’t wait until the third installment which is expected the fall of 2025.
My rating system since GoodReads doesn’t have partial stars
⭐️ Hated it
⭐️⭐️ Had a lot of trouble, prose issues, really not my cup of tea (potentially DNF’d or thought about it)
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meh, it was an ok read but nothing special
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really enjoyed it! Would recommend to others
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding! Will circle back and read again

I was so happy to be back in the world of Wicked Games! Once again, we get a wicked and captivating story.
Genevieve Grimm has felt lost since her sister took over as the head of the family. When a mysterious friend of their mother’s invites her to Italy, she accepts. Maybe she shouldn’t have. Now, she is caught with Rowin and his family in an insidious game of hide and seek, where only one can win. Will she survive another devil’s game?
She writes, and I will read it. That’s how much I love this author and her writing. I loved Enchantra, maybe even more than Phantasma. It’s another deadly game, but I love how the hide-and-seek aspect makes it unique. This book was definitely a lot more romantic than its predecessor. Genevieve and Rowin communicate. Secrets are revealed, and vulnerabilities crack open. By the end, the romance felt truly earned. Like Vivi says, “If you don’t mean it, you can keep it.” One of my favorite scenes was when they played Two Truths, One Lie.
She may not always think before acting, but I loved Vivi (Genevieve) and her personality. I was curious about her in Phantasma, and I wasn’t disappointed. She will survive no matter what. She isn’t shy about her curves and her sexuality. She totally destabilizes Rowin! Rowin—oh my god—I loved his evolution throughout the book! We get to discover him alongside Vivi, and my heart melted. He goes from cold to fire, passionate with Vivi. Not only is he a shadow daddy, but he will also steal your heart with his “my wife” and his “touch her and die.” I should not forget the name he gives her: Trouble. I LOVED IT SO MUCH! The ending was pure torture!
In conclusion, I’m obsessed! I would definitely go for an arranged marriage with a shadow daddy on a Tuscan estate, complete with a giant hedge maze, deadly games, and a cursed found family. (Doesn’t mean I would survive the game XD) Who’s coming with me to this estate? There are still six single siblings left!
You will find in this book:
👪Found family but make it murderous
💍Arraned Marriage/fake dating
🎭Masquerades, ball gowns, and piranhas
😈Touch her and die
🌓Shadows vs sunshine
🦊Cute animal companions
by Kindle-Kunde
Vivi is just the right amount of smartmouthed and such a troublemaker. Rowin doesn’t need to match her energy nor does he try to cage her. He is just proud of her and she is a bright Summer day on the creek.
The family is hilarious and as much as they play the game, they love each other very much. Their traditions are exactly what one could hope to find in a hellish house like Enchantra.
Do yourself a favour and read this book. And if you haven’t, read Phantasma too. There won’t be any regrets.

~My Thoughts~
Oooookay this book. Wow.
I enjoyed book 1 and understood the hype but didn’t have my mind blown. Then I started reading Enchantra and lemme tell you. THIS was what I was looking for 😍
Genevieve, who was alright as supporting cast in book 1, really comes into her own in this. Her personality, whilst difficult at first, was perfect for the vibe of Enchantra, leading me to actually love her come the end.
Rowin, our MMC. Sigh. He joins the book boyfriend shelf. He was such an interesting MMC to read. His whole motivation and backstory was so cool and had so many layers, he was just written so well.
Also Rowin’s siblings? Every single one of them were just awesome. Truly some of my favourite supporting cast from a book. Despite this being a standalone story, I fell completely in love with all of the siblings (Sevin and Covid are both standouts, can they have their own books pls).
And the spice? SINFUL. SIN. FUL. SO GOOD OMG I was fanning myself the entire time. Rowin the man you are. Just one word to describe him: piercings. And if your mind went somewhere, then yeah. You would be right 👀🤭 Also the relationship between the MCs was really perfect. They just worked so well together.
The plot of the story was brilliant. Different variations of hide and seek? Genius. The stakes were high, the tensions were high, the quality was HIGH. So enjoyable. I ate it UP

I loved book one, but this book felt like it expanded the world and characters to a whole new level, and I’m now so excited for the next one! Frankly give me a book for each of the Silvers please 🙏
☠️🖤☠️🖤
Premise:
Genevieve Grimm heads to Italy to seek out a man who had been writing to her dead mother, in hopes of understanding her place in the paranormal world.
However the day she enters his home, Enchantra, happens to be the day an annual hunt from hell begins. Where the cursed immortal Silver siblings fight to the death. And the only way out for a mortal, is to win.
But the game is only for the Silver family. Therefore, in order to join the game and not be killed instantly, she must marry the mysterious Rowin Silver and enter as his wife.
☠️🖤☠️🖤
I adored it!!! My chaotic thoughts:
☠️ The world: I feel the first book just touched the surface of the hellish creatures we could meet, but this book opened our eyes fully! And not only did we get an adventure to Italy, we also got to see hell!
🖤 The romance: I do love a fake marriage, especially when the two characters bicker so much. The banter was everything! I loved their dynamic, and Vivi’s brattish and confident nature. I highlighted so much of their dialogue 🤣 And I know we see a lot of shadow daddies in romantasy, but Rowin gives a lot of them a run for their money…
“Shadows can only be seen in the presence of light. I worry when you leave, there will be no one left to see me.” 🫠
☠️ The games: I loved these games which were essentially rounds of hide and seek but with an enchanted dagger! Good old family bonding! They were a lot easier to follow than the last book but still addictive. And gave us lots of banterous and hot downtime 🥰 Plus there were twists I did NOT see coming!
🖤 The family: I demand a book for each of the Silver siblings! Never have I fallen in love with so many side characters… send help!! You can already see parts of their personalities and trauma coming through and I can’t wait to see what happens to each of them 🥰 Plus I loved the return of Ophelia and Salem. With Salem just adoring Ophie 🥰🥰🥰
Ughhhhh please can I have book 3 now 🙏🙏🙏 I have many theories… But I know for sure that Sevin will not disappoint 😍
☠️🖤☠️🖤
Also notes on the audio narration: Laura Horowitz could narrate every book for me frankly! Her range of voices, taking on the Italian vibes at times and so many different family members is so impressive. And not one felt out of place, making it such an immersive listen! 5 stars for her as always 🫶
