Enchantra Paperback – 8 April 2025

✨ Enchanted estate✨ Deadly game of hide and seek✨ Fake relationship✨ Shadow fox familiar ✨ Grumpy MMC x Sunshine FMC✨ Gothic dark fantasy Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️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!

👻 book 2/? ongoing dark fantasy romance🍑 open door spice👻 deadly games of hide and seek🍑 fake marriage👻 shadow daddy MMC🍑 ‘my wife’👻 devils, magic, curses, Hell🍑 spicy shadow daddy magic~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

Both of the books in this series have been superlative. Chock full of the most engaging & memorable characters that you find yourself cheering on from the sidelines. The world building is excellent, also, leaving you curiously unable to date the timeline which adds to the pervading magical feel. If you have any inclination to fantasy books then these two are an absolute must to add to your library. I can't wait for the next one to drop.
