Best Hex Ever

DEBUT El-Fassi’s first novel holds strong portent for future successes. It is a sexy cozy featuring Dina Whitlock, a bisexual kitchen witch who is living under a hex. Her London café, where she serves sweets and drinks infused with magic, is thriving, and she and her two best friends are deep into the enjoyable days of celebrating a wedding. However, anyone Dina loves romantically is doomed to suffer. The hex was born when a much younger Dina used her magic to compel her ex-girlfriend to return to her against her will. After watching those she falls for get hurt, Dina has no choice but to reject the charming attentions of Scott Mason, a British Museum curator who drops into the café and, through the plots of her friends, rooms with her during the wedding. Haunted by the hex, her fear of telling her parents about her sexuality, and falling dangerously deep for Scott, Dina will have to confront her fears and herself if she is to cast a spell for a happy ending.
