This week, we tiptoe into Phantasma by Kaylie Smith — a book that asks, “What if your family drama came with actual demons and a mansion that wants to eat you?” We follow Ophelia Grimm, a necromancer with OCD, a deadpan sense of survival, and the questionable choice to bargain with a flirty phantom who literally costs her years of her life.

Join us as we break down the cursed house, the unhinged trials, the morally ambiguous ghost-boyfriend, and why wishes in fantasy novels should come with warning labels.

Come for the dark magic, stay for us yelling, “Ophelia, PLEASE stop making deals with hot supernatural men.”
