To save her missing sister, Ophelia enters a deadly game inside a haunted mansion where the prize is a single wish. Two rules: stay alive, and don't fall in love. Dark romantasy with spice.
Our take
Nine circles of hell, one wish, and a devilish host
A haunted New Orleans manor, a game built on nine deadly trials, and a heroine who can't afford to lose: that's the hook, and hundreds of thousands of readers took it. Fans single out the gothic atmosphere, the trials modeled on Dante's circles, and the sparky banter between Ophelia and her charming, untrustworthy guide. Her OCD, written as a whispering shadow voice, earns real praise for feeling honest. We picked this one as the perfect October read for 99 cents: moody, fast and properly spicy. Some readers wanted more plot between the steamy scenes, and the middle trials can sag.
