I was hooked from the first chapter! I was so moved by the endearing loveable characters.
The found family trope is absolutely charming and made for such a perfect sounding board for the main character.
I loved that the exterior/facade of the MMC was in fact the opposite of who he wanted to be, and it was interesting seeing how he was vulnerable to his agent (something you don’t always discover upfront in a story) I really liked him from the off and it helped me empathise and root for him.
I had such a good time reading this and simply ate it up!

I really loved The Best Hex and so I was excited to read Love at First Fright and it really didn't disappoint. It was such a wholesome read that had this cosy feeling about it while also dealing with some tough topics and some very well written spice.

I finished this book in two sittings once I started I couldn't put it down, though it did have a third act breakup which isn't always my favourite thing to read about it certainly didn't take away from my enjoyment of reading what is such a gem of a book.

Thank you so much to Publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read and review this book before publication, these are my honest thoughts and opinions.

I really liked the writing style of this novel, and the concept was really cute. I loved Rosemary in the first book, and was delighted to see her get her own story. I love all the parts of this book about her friendship group, and getting to see her succeed.

While I really enjoyed this book, I did think there was a slight emotional disconnect for me between the two leads, perhaps it felt a little bit rushed at times and they went from disliking each other to love very quickly. The conflict at the end was also quite rushed, and I just couldn't find it believable.

Overall though, I did enjoy this book and I'm looking forward to any new story the author releases! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Love At First Fright is a cozy but spicy paranormal/supernatural romance, and while it's connected to Best Hex Ever, you don't need to have read that book to enjoy this one! It definitely works as a standalone. Rosemary is a horror writer, whose book is being made into a film, and she's always been able to see ghosts. Actor Ellis is not who Rosemary wanted for the lead role in the slightest, but their relationship quickly develops.

I did really enjoy the main characters, and I loved the message about sexuality positivity. It's unfortunate that this book has a third act breakup because they're not really something I like in romances unless there's like a proper, realistic justification for them. I'm a bit on the fence about whether this one was necessary.

I did binge it in one go though over an evening and had a really fun time with it!
