Love at First Fright by @nadiaelfassi.bsky.social is a brand new spicy #romantasy, in which a horror writer and the lead in the Hollywood adaptation of her book find their growing attraction derailed by a horde of ghosts in the haunted mansion set...

Out today, with #Spredges!

💙📚🪐

A pile of the book in a bookshop, some turned to show off the brilliant purple sprayed edge spredges.

while I am 100% here for reviews of my book, they are not for the author they’re for readers. I think it might be good practice to consider not tagging authors in negative reviews of their books, as we try very hard not to enter into reader’s spaces, but I appreciate you taking the time to review!

oh yeah and if you’re a Zionist and I can see you’re posting Pro-Israel content, feel free to get lost before I block you ✌️

Nadia El-Fassi @nadiaelfassi.bsky.social · Aug 11

Just a reminder to all book and publishing friends: if you’re not actively speaking out about the genocide in Palestine, you ARE taking a side. Silence is complicity. Seeing ‘both sides’ when one side has murdered over 61,000 people since 2023, is complicity. Hope that helps clear it up. 🇵🇸

Love at First Fright by @nadiaelfassi.bsky.social
So. Much. Cuteness. A confident horror writer & action actor that start as enemies before hitting it off on-set of her book to film adaptation where he's the star. We got grief, a tasteful age-gap, forced proximity, & Dom/sub kink
