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.

Love Laura as a narrator, I recognised her from tiktok! She really brought to life the story and I listened in a few days! Couldn’t get through it fast enough! Will be getting the next one

I was not expecting to like or enjoy this much a gothic romantacy, and this was great.
I gave it 4 stars because I wanted a bit more tension between the characters but what was delivered was absolutely fantastic.
The Audiobook is chef’s kiss! No wonder it won the best audiobook of 2024, Laura Horowitz is a great narator.

3.5 stars. There was so much I loved about this book, especially at the beginning but as it continued there were a few fundamental things that put me off. Though all in all it's an enjoyable read, certain things seemed forced, rushed and certain decisions the FMC made were entirely bizarre and infuriating. I still reccommend it for a fun, easy time.

Story was cool and interesting, however the FMC was… well a bit of the damsel in distress thing of always needing help instead of figuring things out was a little tedious after a while but good book.

Fabulous gothic romantasy ! Throughly enjoyed this book. The characters are so good and the gore and gothic theme just makes it so much better

A real page turner
