I finished this book in one sitting last night, it had such a strong hold on me that I couldn’t sleep until I got to the end! The premise, the spooky vibes, the sexual tension, and the ending?! Immaculate. Can’t wait for more of my friends to read this so I have someone to scream about it with!!

If you love spooky things, ghosts and Halloween this book is for you! Ophelia and Blackwell have my heart forevermore. This is for everyone who’s ever wanted both spice and blood!!!

ALL THE STARS I LOVED THIS BOOK. I finished this in less than two days and I didn't want it to end! I seriously hope there will be spin-offs with some of the characters because I NEED more of this world, immediately.

Prepare to be swept into the whirlwind that is Kaylie Smith's Phantasma, a romance that doesn't just tick the boxes but explosively bursts through them with a fascinating blend of blood, passion, and a gothic ambiance that chills just as deeply as it entices. From the moment you dive into the shadowed streets of its haunted house setting, the story grabs you with a ferocity that is both gripping and gloriously paced.

Smith's characters are exquisitely crafted: sometimes irritating, sometimes untrustworthy, more than likely doing something slightly evil, yet undeniably lovable. The darkness perfectly matches the bloody undercurrents of the plot, creating a smutty, visceral experience that is both disturbing and delightful.

And let's talk about the house - Phantasma itself. It's a character in its own right, dripping with mystery, haunted hallucinations, and (hot) demons. Every description of the haunting corridors and eerie rooms contributes to an atmosphere thick with suspense and seduction, pulling you deeper into the story's thrilling embrace.

This book is an absolute must-read for anyone who’s ever had a deep My Chemical Romance phase, found their first crush in Casper, adored Danny Phantom, has a thing for white-haired hotties, or thought Matthew Lillard in Scream was peak crush material. It’s for the goth and emo souls who cherish a romance that makes their toes curl and their hearts scream with delight, and let's be honest, it's for everyone else too because it's just that good. It resonates with the echo of our darker, more passionate selves, making it a perfect blend of terror and allure. So, if you're looking to capture that thrill of gothic, emo romance—with a hefty dose of spine-chilling adventure—look no further. Phantasma promises all this and more, making it an unputdownable tribute to the darkly romantic soul in all of us.
