Review

Ahhhhh!!! I’m in love with another book character! It’s been so long that this has happened, you can’t even judge me. How could I not to? Blackwell is muah🤌🏻

I haven’t been this enthralled with a book in a very long time. So happy!

Phantasma was wonderfully written, and descriptive in a way that draws you in and wraps you tightly into its dark and delightfully delectable, sexy and sinful world. The spicy scenes are SPICY and are perfectly balanced by a well thought out plot and excellently developed characters. The burn was slow but SO worth it. 5 seduced and intoxicated stars.

“In a different life, in a fair one, I would’ve kept you until my eternal soul withered away to dust.”

“Death she was familiar with. Living would be the real challenge.”

“A heart and a key would set me free,” it said. “But you should hope we do not meet again, angel.”

“I want to taste your sins.”

“The Devil had a wicked mouth and a voice as smooth as bourbon.”

“In all the darkness, in all the loneliness, you have been my one source of light,” he lamented as she began to come undone. “My soul will go to its grave with your name echoing in my mind.”

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, Blackwellclaims 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…
