4/5 ⭐️

Ophelia is a necromancer. In order to find her sister, she enters a deadly contest - Phantasma.

After much back and forth, I decided to give this paranormal, dark romance-fantasy a go. I try to stay away from horror, and this was on the verge of becoming too scary. The book initially depicts quite the horror scene, but that fades into the background quickly.

There are no particular standouts in terms of writing, plot or world building, which might sound bad but it's an easy read and a good time. And sometimes, you need just that. It started off slower than I'd hoped, but bonus points for being a standalone.

It took me a little while to get into this one. I literally had to put it down and come back to it. But it was worth the second chance because of Blackwell. Although I do have to say this is probably the third series this year I have read with the same sort of ending so I saw that coming but I was still okay with it.
