Phantasma (Wicked Games, 1)

AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER & BOOKTOK SENSATION

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 . . .

A Court of Thorns and Roses meets Caraval in this seductive fantasy adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author of Enchantra. With steamy romance, a sexy morally gray love interest, OCD rep and jaw-dropping twists, Phantasma is perfect for fans of Rebecca Yarros, Nisha J. Tuli and Carissa Broadbent.

The print edition includes custom gold foiling on the cover!

Enjoyable read. Ophelia was an interesting character with the shadow voice and powers. Looking forward to Genevieve’s story next.

This book has a little bit of everything from fantasy to suspense to romance. The New Orleans setting gives spooky vibes that I thoroughly enjoyed and the family secrets made everything mysterious. It took a little bit to start picking up on the concept but once we are about to start the competition I was so excited to see what was going to happen. I really enjoyed Ophelia’s character and I enjoyed seeing her grow into herself. The challenges are disturbing but in a way that I oddly enjoyed. Blackwell was an amazing morally grey MMC and i loved the connection between him and Ophelia. One of my favorite things though is the twists because I thought I knew what was going to happen and I still somehow got surprised. Ultimately, I am a HUGE fan of this book!

started off a bit slow for me, but it was still interesting enough that I kept going. I am so glad I did. I need a Phantom boyfriend in my life. I have to say the character growth for Ophelia was probably one of my favorites that I have read. she went from a timid, sheltered, frightened young woman to a strong, assured, badass necromancer. I really enjoyed this one and cant wait to dive into Enchantra.
