Welcome to Phantasma. There are only two rules to the game. Stay alive. And don't fall in love. When Ophelia's sister disappears, there is only one way to save her. Ophelia must enter Phantasma, a deadly contest inside a haunted mansion, and claim its prize--a single wish. Phantasma is a maze of twisting corridors and lavish ballrooms, of demons and temptations. Ophelia will face nine challenges, each more dangerous than the last. There can only be one winner, and the other contestants will stop at nothing to eliminate their rivals. Every day the house creates new monsters. But just as Ophelia's fears threaten to overwhelm her, a mysterious stranger offers her a bargain. Charming, arrogant and infuriatingly attractive, Blackwell claims he can guide her through the lethal trials ahead. All he asks in return is ten years of her life. Ophelia knows she shouldn't trust him. Blackwell doesn't seem dangerous, but appearances can be deceptive. Worse still, she feels a dark and irresistible attraction drawing them closer and closer. Her life is on the line. But in Phantasma, the only thing deadlier than losing the game is losing your heart...

Jamie’s review

PHANTASMA

Haunted house meets gothic games and trials in this spooky standalone. It was all the rage on booktok and I was influenced when one content creator said "if you loved when Casper turned into Devon Sawa (IYKYK) then read this…" 😆🙋🏼‍♀️

I loved it until the end. Literally, the last 10 pages were so unexpectedly enraging, I had to reread them several times to make sure I understood wtf happened.

Both Blackwell and Ophelia were half baked as main characters. The devils and phantoms and all the paranormal people were confusing instead of scary. So many unanswered questions. I went on reddit to find answers and they were rioting over there lol.

That ending. We were done dirty, friends. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. I would have rated higher but the ending brought down my rating.

ENCHANTRA

Meh. I just never felt invested in the characters. Again. Genevieve and Rowin are fine, the games and trials are fine, the backstory is fine. Everything is just fine. I'm already forgetting this story, it's just kind of forgettable. Not BAD, but not great. It was entertaining enough and a good spooky season read, but I found it too similar to Phantasma.

Erica’s review

PHANTASMA

Meh…it was just ok for me. Also read during spooky season and it just kept reminding me of the Haunted Mansion Disneyland ride so I had a hard time taking it seriously. I just couldn't really connect with any of it and the MMC was also not for me. I also feel like it's not talked about enough that the MMC Blackwell actually treats the FMC Ophelia like shit when the big twist comes around. Jamie and I were both like - what a dick! But I swear no one ever talks about that! Then Jamie had to explain WTF we just read via Reddit. And I still didn't understand. Which is why Enchantra was a hard pass for me.
