Phantasma by Kaylie Smith

4.75

adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book is FILTHY and DEPRAVED, and I loved every second of it. What to look forward to:

High-stakes, dangerous puzzles themed after the 9 circles of hell
DELICIOUS and devious ghostly MMC
Interesting and intelligent necromancer FMC (& not a teenager, thank god)
GRIPPING plot and STEAMY spice

My one and only complaint is that the ending and a couple of the challenges felt very rushed compared to the pacing of the rest of the book. I almost wish it was a duology, so some of the ideas could have been explored a bit more.
