About this listen

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. 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.

Could not put it down!

I follow the narrator and decided to listen because of her. 10/10 best narrator ever.

The story though?! So so so good. I don’t want to drop spoilers but it is definitely a high recommend!

I also love that this book is a stand alone. The whole story is here; I do not have to wait months or years for the end of the whole story.

Wow! What an ending!

In Phantasma author Kaylie Smith expertly blends tension, mystery, and desire. The competition set in the haunted mansion setting was such a cool way to tell Ophelia’s story.

Ophelia’s determination to save her sister is compelling, and with each trial of the competition we we see her resilience deepen. Smith’s writing draws you in with detailed descriptions and a palpable sense of dread, making it hard to put the book down.

I loved the dynamic between Ophelia and Blackwell. Blackwell’s arrogant, seductive demeanor makes him irresistible. Just the perfect blend of cocky and talky! It was easy to see why Ophelia’ fell for him.

The dual narration was the perfect complement to this intriguing story. It was great to have both perspectives on the MCs’ experiences in the house.

I really appreciated the care that the author took in shaping Ophelia’s character, particularly her OCD and inner shadow voice. It was done truthfully and in a way that is respectful to individuals living with OCD.

Amazing Story & Amazing Narrator

This story was amazing to listen to! The representation for OCD was so incredible and so eye opening to everyone who does not suffer from this! It was gut-wrenching and beautiful. Laura did an amazing job narrating! I was literally getting chills listening to it. Well done!

A voice that does it all!

This audio was my first ever and let me tell you, it completely CHANGED MY WAY OF READING! I loved how the narrator could grasp the emotion of both female main character and male main character. I felt completely immersed in the story and couldn’t stop reading because of it. Absolutely recommend listening while reading, it makes it so much more atmospheric!!!!

Narration was amazing!

The narration was amazing! Only thing is that I absolutely HATED the FMC’a voice. It sounded so bratty and naggy, like she was on the verge of wanting to argue with everyone for the sake of arguing.

The story was interesting and I haven’t read a book like this before, so it was a refreshing palate cleanser.

Spice was good and purposeful!

Overall a quick, easy read at that I enjoyed!

Omg! This book is mind blowing good!

At the beginning of I was a bit confused if I liked the narrator, but so far not only she grew on me but it made sense the accent and everything! The lore is so accurate and the OCD battle of the FMC! I believe this is my favorite cartoon book now in the dark gothic fantasy!
