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

My first Kaylie Smith book
Published by Taliesin , 9 months ago
I love how it brings a new idea to the Gothic genre of books. The two main characters are well developed. I also love how Inferno possibly influenced the book. As I was reading it, soon I started to notice how part of it would go up and down: some parts were better than others. I like how the author added a tricky mental disorder to the storyline. There are only a couple of books I've known that show OCD is not a good thing for the person with it and people around them. As I was reading the last chapters, it kept me on the edge of my seat. The ending was okay for a dark romance.
