Critics Review

Best Hex Ever is a hard act to follow, but Love at First Fright does it so well! Wonderfully warm, deliciously sexy and beautifully inclusive, I loved this every bit as much as the first. * Sangu Mandanna, bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches *
Love At First Fright is the perfect mix of sweet, sexy, soft, and spooky - horny in all the best ways without losing its tenderness, honesty, or sensitivity to the messy realities of grief, shame, anxiety, and show business. Rosemary is a dream of a protagonist, Ellis’ determination to make her happy is a delight, and the full cast (and crew) of minor and supporting characters add a richness to an already brilliant story. A must-read for anyone who delights in the potential of queer allegories in horror, believes every old building deserves at least one dramatic ghost situation, and isn’t afraid to acknowledge that there’s strength - and power - in submission. * Shelly Jay Shore, USA Today bestselling author of Rules for Ghosting *
Charming, witty, and bingeable! Love At First Fright is my newest 5-star read. * Stephanie Archer, author of The Vancouver Storm Series *
By turns absolutely sizzling and surprisingly tender, Love at First Fright offers a delightful escape into a world full of movie stars, best-selling writers, sapphic ghosts, old haunted British mansions, and much delicious kink. I adored it! * Jamie Pacton, co-author of Homegrown Magic and author of The Absinthe Underground *
Addicting and adorable, sweet and sexy, Love At First Fright is a delicious treat! * Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop *
El-Fassi is a master of cosy spice! Love At First Fright strikes a perfect balance between wholesome and smutty, featuring El-Fassi’s trademark chemistry (the tension!), magic, and delightful friendships. The back-and-forth antagonism between Rosemary and Ellis is delicious. El-Fassi’s exploration of D/s play is thoughtful, emotional, and erotic. A low stakes, high spice read for fans of enemies-to-lovers ft. a Stern Brunch Daddy. * Brigitte Knightley, author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy *
From the first ghost to the final page, this paranormal romance between a haunted horror author and her way-too-hot leading man had me smiling, and often blushing. Such spooky, swoony, and warmhearted fun. * Rebecca Podos, co-author of Homegrown Magic and winner of the Lambda Literary Award. *
