It’s a fun, and sometimes gory, instant attraction romance in a horror setting. The world is high magic, largely revolving around a hierarchy of supernatural creatures ranging from poltergeist to necromancer to devil.

The main character, Ophelia, must navigate Phantasma — a lethal game where the prize is anything you can dream of, if only you can progress through nine rounds of torture, each one designed to mimic a different circle of hell.

I absolutely devoured this book. The world is unique and I am dying to know more about how the supernaturals, the magic system, everything works.

Fairly spicy, featuring a brat with a praise kink and a ghost who wants nothing but the most enthusiastic of consents.

Warning: contains adorable, loyal ghost cat companion.
