Would you enter a whole house to find a sibling? This is Phantasma. And it is Phantastic. 

We have Ophelia looking for her sister Genevieve in a haunted house competition for which there can only be one winner. Ophelia must face nine trials to win and in the process find her sister. These trials are mind breaking, gory and outright scary and ophelia gets the help of Blackwell, a phantom stuck in the haunted house. His assistance comes at a price of losing a decade of her life to him while there is a passion between them. Their romance is forbidden, she’s a necromancer and he’s a phantom basically they come from two different realms. 

Her OCD is the worst I have ever seen. I literally felt for her.  I love the story because it is heavily descriptive. The way the MC’s meet is so cute even in moments of gory scenes. 

The plot twist!!!!!!! I had no clue that, that would happen. Whoa. Mind blown. So impressed. Take all my stars. All the characters, the trials amazing!!!!!!
