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.

Wow what a twist!

I loved this from start to finish. I am normally one of those really annoying people that guess the twist within the first few chapters, but this kept me guessing right until the end! Amazing work!

Great autumnal read

This book was such a good time - gothic vibes, spooky themes, an intriguing FMC and MMC, and the perfect amount of spice and love confessions. I wanted more!

Can’t wait for book 2.

Laura Horowitz did an amazing job with the audiobook narration!

Spooky and amazing

I went into this story blind, I didn't know what to expect. But from the beginning it caught me, I found everything that happened interesting... from the prologue I was like WHAT? LOL Ophelia, girl we need to talk all the time wanting to "stick out my tongue" girl, are you 5 years old? Her sister hated her at first not going to lie. Blackwell vampire vibes for sure haha but amazing obviously. The spice was just right for the story, on point. It was a bit easy to guess where the story was going, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the ride. I would have liked to explore the phantasma world a bit more, because it was very interesting. I'm a little angry at how she "discovered" that the necklace was the solution. I don't know, they could have explained it a little more in a more organic way. It was a nice story. I would have liked it to be a duet narration.

Brilliant performance and story

Love the narrator, she captured all the emotions. Plot and story for a standalone was so good. A Darker and adult version of Caraval

Wow it Totally consumed me!

Oh my goodness what a book! I wasn’t sure on the first few chapters whether I was going to like it but once it got to phantasma I got right into it & by half way through I was completely engrossed!! I need more… I would have liked more background & maybe more at the end but overall what a great read :)

Great vibe, enjoyable adventure

This was a really good listen. Is it matching the hype? Maybe. I am not 100% convinced as something seems ti be missing from the story, and it felt a little too fast paced at times; I would have liked the story to dig deeper with some of the characters, the main characters’ history, etc But still, I had a really good time listening/ reading it and I really recommend it if you like a good games and trials, gothic romance.

The narrator does a wonderful job in bringing the characters to life.

Exciting in the broadest sense of the word

Excellent fantasy love story with enticing spicy scenes. Laura Horowitz narrates this story “effortlessly” and with fluidity between the different characters.
