- A dark fantasy romance filled with a mysterious hunt, dangerous games, and an eerie, magical atmosphere. Perfect for anyone looking for a spooky, immersive read! Why I Picked It Up: I picked this one for my spooky reading challenge on Seekquel, and I also wanted to continue the series. And honestly, it was such a good choice for the season! What I Loved: I REALLY loved the concept of this book, especially the hunt and how original each night's challenge was. It kept things interesting and made the story feel unpredictable. The atmosphere and world-building were also amazing, and I loved how immersive everything felt. The pacing was another highlight for me. It was fast-paced and addictive, and I found myself wanting to keep reading to see what would happen next. And the ending? WOWWW. The twists really added to the experience! 👀 I also absolutely loved the sisters. Their dynamic was such a lovely part of the story, and I really enjoyed their interactions. 🤍 The Romance & Characters: The chemistry was definitely there! I loved the dynamic between the characters, and the enemies-to-lovers aspect worked really well for me. Their banter and interactions made the romance even more enjoyable. My only issue was that, at times, the relationship felt a little too focused on lust rather than love. I would have preferred a bit more emotional depth to balance out the spice. What Didn't Work For Me: There was a little too much spice for my personal taste. While I enjoyed the chemistry and the romance, I would have preferred fewer spicy scenes and more focus on the emotional connection. Tropes & Vibes: Dark fantasy romance, enemies to lovers, magical hunt, sister dynamics, gothic atmosphere, eerie vibes, and an addictive plot. Overall, 𝘌𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢 was such an addictive and atmospheric read! I loved the concept, the originality of the hunt, the sisters, and the twists. Despite the spice being a little too much for my taste, I had a great time reading this one. Definitely a great pick for spooky season! 🕯️📚✨
- I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Enchantra by Kaylie Smith will fuel your desire for a dark romantasy. One which features complex relationships intriguing and complicated puzzles coupled with the enemies to lover's trope. Prepare for a hazardous journey into the supernatural world where survival is the ultimate goal. Enchantra is the second book on Kaylie Smith's Wicked Games series. Wow! What a sequel? After my experience with Phantasma I had high hopes for Enchantra, and she did not disappoint. Enchantra follows Genevieve Grimm the younger sister of the heroine from Phantasma. In this installment Genevieve intercepts an invitation meant for mother. Unfortunately, her mother died and so she decides to take up the invitation. This decision led her to Tuscany, Italy. On her arrival she got caught up in a deadly game of hide and seek in an enchanted mansion. A game which led to a marriage of convenience and one where survival is not guaranteed. I had lots of fun with this one. The characters despite their dysfunctionalities made the story a treat. The heroine and the hero made a perfect match. It took me sometime to warm up to Genevieve, but when I finally did, I enjoyed her role. Feisty, argumentative and brave, poor Rowin didn't know what hit him. Their romance was intense. They both had baggage. Geneive needed to stay alive at all costs and Rowin had ensure her safety. These issues served as a barrier to their attraction, but not for long. Rowin's siblings added a little more zing the situation. Getting to know the family will leave you with the desire to be a part of them, dysfunctionalities and all. Enchantra is a solid addition to the Wicked Games series, and I look forward to the next book.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
- First of all i love Genevieve and I resonate with her mean little sister energy so much. Like yes girl do whatever you want the world is literally your oyster. No but fr tho i resonated with a lot of aspects of her and I really enjoyed her personality. Now Rowin????? Whewwwie. So glad we got an italian stallion this go around. #needthat. Now the plot - I wasn't sure how she was going to follow up phantasma but this plot was so unique and truly a level up from the last book. I am so excited to see where the next one goes. With that demon saying that they're coming after Salem in the end i'm thinking maybe the next one will be a whole family affair??? ugh i love this series
- I don't know why I keep trying with this! It has to be the cover, that's what lured me on for both this and Phantasma. And as with Phantasma, DNF. How can such a promising plot be THIS boring? And don't get me started on the FMC... she kept getting on my nerves!! As much as I loved Ophelia, I disliked Genevieve. Someday I will find the right modern fun goth story, but this is not it!!
