This book felt like a warming cup of spiced coffee on a chilly day. I loved the premise of the story and thought that the plot was well paced. Dina and Scott were well rounded protagonists and I found myself really rooting for them. It was also so nice to see Dina's Moroccan background showcased. This book is the perfect cosy, magical read for an Autumn day and I would definitely recommend it for some wholesome and spooky fun!

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

This book was everything. The magic was simple and easy misunderstand not to mention cute as all heck. The fmc and mmc were both wonderfully well rounded and the spice was excellent. I read the book in one sitting and immediately went to pre order it. The whole atmosphere of this book was spooky, cosy, loving and engaging all at once. Excellent book.

A spicy, cosy witchy rom com, this will be perfect to read in October time. The characters were well rounded out and the romance was cute if a bit insta-lovey.

In Best Hex Ever, Dina Whitlock is a talented kitchen witch with a troubled love life due to a hex that hurts anyone who falls in love with her. She finds herself drawn to Scott Mason, a curator at the British Museum. As their connection deepens, so does the hex. Can Dina break the hex before Scott gets hurt?

I knew on page 5 that I was going to love this, as soon as I got to this quote:
"That sweater, fluffy as it was, wasn't hiding the muscles rippling underneath as he bent down to pick up the broken evil eye. What was a man with a body like that doing with tweed elbow patches and wire-rimmed glasses? He looked like a professor who moon-lit as a cage fighter."
Say no more!

This book was just incredibly easy to read, and exactly as predicted when I plopped myself down on the sofa to read it, I binged it in one go. It had that heartwarming, cozy feel of a paranormal romance that I just love. Baking magic - as if it couldn't get anymore wholesome! The main characters were strong separately and so well matched, with Scott's professional background in cultural symbols of luck. They had chemistry right from the start and while there is definite spice in this book, it was so well done and well balanced with the story and the romantic build up!

I can't believe that this is Nadia El-Fassi's debut novel. It was a perfect paranormal romance and I loved how Dina's Moroccan heritage was so evident in the story. It was so refreshing to see a different culture represented in this genre and I just loved Dina's family and how the magic works in this world.

I am really hoping that Dina's friend Rosemary gets her own book, since she has her own supernatural ability and there was a definite nod towards who her MMC would be. I definitely felt there was potential for more stories in this world, so I hope there's more to come! I'll definitely be inhaling more of Nadia's books in the future.
