Meet the Panelists:
Nadia El-Fassi: A half-Moroccan, half-Australian author, Nadia El-Fassi captivates readers with her unique blend of spicy romance and fantasy.

Her debut novel, Best Hex Ever, is a spellbinding story that combines magic and romance.
About Best Hex Ever: Best Hex Ever introduces readers to Dina Whitlock, a skilled kitchen witch who infuses her London café’s pastries with magic. However, a hex complicates her love life by cursing anyone who falls for her with bad luck. When Scott Mason, a world-traveling curator returning to London, becomes enchanted by Dina, he must navigate a weekend of magical events and a growing connection with the charming witch. With a wedding approaching and the hex looming, Dina must find a way to break the curse before it affects both their hearts. This cosy fantasy is perfect for fans of Talia Hibbert and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.

About Rewitched:Rewitched follows Belladonna Blackthorn, a witch who has lost touch with her magical spark. While balancing her work at Lunar Books and dealing with a toxic boss, Belle receives a summons from her coven for a trial that could strip her of her powers. With the month of October to prove her worth, Belle must rely on the support of her friends, an unexpected mentor, and a dedicated watchman. With themes of found family and self-love, this charming novel offers a slow-burn romance and an inspiring message of resilience and rediscovery.
