Love At First Fright

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.

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!

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.
