Resumen del Editor

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Marlowe’s voice is fresh and witty, with the conspiracy theory aspect adding a playful tone to a classic friends-to-lovers story. Skeptics and believers alike—and especially anyone who wanted Mulder and Scully to kiss—will be delighted with this knockout debut.​"—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"The conspiracies add a lot of entertainment to the story, but it’s grounded and made heartfelt by the real emotions the characters are dealing with—not just their developing romantic feelings for each other but also Hallie’s self-doubt and Hayden’s loneliness and grief. The existence of Bigfoot may be debatable, but this book’s charm is a sure bet."—Kirkus Reviews

"Love and Other Conspiracies was just the most charming read. I smiled from ear to ear the moment I cracked the book open until the very last page. This filled all the empty spaces in my nerdy heart. It cleared my skin and improved my credit rating. Inside me there are two wolves — one loves cryptozoology call-backs and one loves romance, and both are very pleased right now. You know when you get into a really good movie and you start yelling at the screen because you're so invested? I was yelling at this book, waiting for Hayden and Hallie to make a move on each other. I pretty much inhaled the entire book. It just made me so darn happy. I couldn't put it down, and I can't wait to read more of Mallory Marlowe.”—Ruby Dixon, USA Today bestselling author of Ice Planet Barbarians

So Fun

I had so much fun with this audiobook! The story was highly entertaining and that mixed the fun style of the audio like it was experiencing the web episodes themselves was very unique

Love and the supernatural go hand in hand, and I’m here for it!

I absolutely LOVED this audiobook! It was fun, light-hearted, and humor was spot-on. The main characters were funny and incredibly relatable. Alex Finke is one of my favorite narrators and was a perfect fit for this book. If you’re into the paranormal and conspiracy theories, this is definitely one for you!

As a paranormal girlie *YEEEES*👏

The story was great, the references were fantastic, and the narrator was AMAZING. Mallory Harlowe did such a great job making me feel like I was reading a story from the real social media paranormal community. Both main characters were so funny, but in different ways. Hayden’s paranormal nerd humor was the best. Alex Finke could not have been a more perfect narrator, and she had PERFECT timing and cadence for the humor. She’s amazing. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves YouTube ghost shows, or just loves a funny, sweet rom com!
