Best Hex Ever

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

When it comes to love, sometimes the recipe needs a little magic.


Dina is a skilled kitchen witch and café owner, serving magic-infused pastries to her loyal customers. But it’s hard not to feel something is missing when you’re cursed to hurt anyone who falls for you.

Scott is a museum curator, recently back in London after a brutal breakup 2 years ago, and looking to make up for all the time he missed. He’s determined to be perfect best man at his best friend’s upcoming wedding, but his plans take an expected turn when he meets the bewitching maid of honour.

After a weekend in the countryside full of peculiar hedge mazes, palm readings by candlelight, and a midnight Halloween ritual, there’s no denying the chemistry between them. But there’s just one problem: the hex still holds, and Dina knows that Scott is in danger.

Can Dina break the spell before it breaks both their hearts?

Perfect for fans of Talia Hibbert and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, Best Hex Ever is a cosy, and spicy spellbinding fantasy romance from an exciting new debut voice.
