The hardest thing for a paranormal conspiracy theorist and a web series producer to believe in is finding love in this swoony debut romantic comedy.
Hallie Barrett's life has imploded after she's dumped by her hotshot ex, who also happens to be her coworker and the star of the online series she was producing. Without a new show to present for the company competition, she’ll be out of a job. But inspiration can come from the strangest places . . . like the most handsome guy she’s ever seen passionately discussing Bigfoot on a late-night docuseries.
Hayden Hargrove made a name for himself as a cryptid expert on his hit podcast, and is intrigued by the plucky, blue-haired producer who offers him the opportunity to lead his own web show. When the production team sees that Hayden’s solo on-screen presence is bad enough to make a ghost blanch, Hallie jumps on camera too, hitting him (and his cryptids) with a healthy dose of skepticism—and enough chemistry to electrify their show to the top of the competition.
As Hayden and Hallie investigate the unknown, they unearth feelings for each other that shake their beliefs to the core. In their search for Mothman, aliens, and the truth, the most elusive discovery might just be learning to love again.
MY REVIEW:
Love and Other Conspiracies by Mallory MarloweMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a fun read. The banter between Hallie and Hayden was so much fun and had me laughing out loud. Hallie is trying to win the next online show and is competing against her ex, who treats her horribly. She has no self esteem because of him.
Hayden is trying to make her believe in the cryptids and ghosts, aliens and anything else that she does not believe in.
The feelings start when they are kind of forced to work more closely together and they made a great team.
Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for the arc to review.

Genre
Mallory Marlowe is a professional writer and creator based out of Los Angeles, CA. Seriously right-brained since childhood, her love of telling stories began with highly elaborate plots for her Barbie dolls and taking elementary school writing projects a touch too seriously. She went on to study Writing for Film and TV at Emerson College and moved to Los Angeles after college to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
She has experience in writing fiction, scripts for film and television, and interactive media. Mallory’s truest love is writing romance novels, from contemporary to paranormal, and has a real weak spot for “enemies to lovers” and “there’s only one bed”. When she isn’t writing, she loves reading (most likely some kind of kissing book) and playing video games… but realistically, she’s probably brainstorming whatever meet-cute she’s planning to write next.
