Perfect for you if...

You love morally grey love interests and don't mind a bit of darkness mixed with your romance, especially when the banter crackles with tension.
You're after that ACOTAR energy: high stakes, spicy scenes, and a protagonist who has to choose between survival and her heart.
You want a fast-paced plot that doesn't stop for breath, with twists that genuinely catch you off guard and leave you desperate for the next book.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your romance squeaky-clean or without the darker supernatural elements woven throughout.
You're looking for a standalone that wraps everything up neatly, because this is book one of a series and it absolutely ends on a cliffhanger.
You need a love interest who's straightforwardly heroic rather than someone who trades in bargains and keeps secrets.

About this book

Phantasma is the first book in the Wicked Games series. When Ophelia's sister disappears, she must enter Phantasma, a deadly contest held inside a haunted mansion, to win a single wish that could save her sister's life. Phantasma is a labyrinth of corridors and ballrooms filled with demons and temptations. Ophelia must complete nine increasingly dangerous challenges while competing against other contestants who will do anything to eliminate her. The house generates new monsters daily. As Ophelia struggles, a mysterious stranger named Blackwell offers to guide her through the trials in exchange for ten years of her life. Charming and arrogant, Blackwell may not be what he seems. Ophelia finds herself drawn to him despite her better judgment, creating a dangerous attraction that complicates her mission. The story includes OCD representation and explores themes of trust, survival, and the risks of falling in love in a life-or-death situation.
