We’re starting this spooky month by celebrating the publication of Best Hex Ever by debut author Nadia El-Fassi! The romantasy is out now with Del Rey in the UK in hardback, and Dell Publishing in the US in paperback.

Kitchen witch Dina Whitlock runs a cafe in London, an expert at serving magic-infused pastries to customers. But when it comes to romance, she’s cursed with a hex to hurt anyone who falls for her. Museum curator Scott Mason just returned to London, wanting to make up for the time he missed after a brutal breakup two years ago. At a wedding as maid of honour and best man, there’s no denying the chemistry between Dina and Scott. But the hex still holds, Dina is falling hard and Scott is in danger. Will Dina be able to undo the hex before it’s too late?

Nadia is half-Moroccan and half-Australian working as a Commissioning Editor at Orbit Books UK in London. Best Hex Ever is their first novel.

Congratulations Nadia! UK readers can get your copy here and US readers can get yours here.
