Episode Title: Enchantra – Chapters 1–17

Description: We’re back with a brand-new series! The Romantasy Roundtable crew embarks on a new gothic romantasy journey with the highly anticipated sequel to Fantasma, Enchantra by Kylie Smith. Amanda, Kim, and Rick discuss the book's first 17 chapters, following Ophelia's sister, Genevieve Grim, as she enters a whole new world of paranormal chaos. From a mysterious new love interest and a deadly scavenger hunt to ancient curses and a whole lot of questions about who is who, the crew breaks down the introduction to the Enchantra world and Genevieve’s new role in the hunt. Expect discussions on chaotic book boy names, the difference between an acceptable and unacceptable "okay" movie, and a very wholesome “soup” scene.
