Book Review: Love and Other Conspiracies

All I can say about this book is.... WOW! Finally someone wrote a book for me!

Yes I know I have multiple copies, but why wouldn't you!

The story is around Hailey a 20 something year old with her job on the online after her toxic ex-boyfriend threatens her with firing all because she said no to him.

The web site she worked for saw the ex-boyfriend's side and offered her an ultimatum, 'fine a new streamer or out.'

With now moving out of her toxic ex-boyfriend's place and into her friends place with a pet Lizard, who Hailey swears doesn't like her, she needs to come up with a new streamer or get fired.

Lighting up her Bong and flipping through some late-late night TV she comes across a tv show about the supernatural with a special guest Hayden.

As she sat and watch the episode as well admiring the charming looks of Hayden, she discovers his podcast, 'The Out There' and thinks that Hayden and his speciality in the Supernatural would make an interesting stream.

After a lot of convincing and a few cocktails later, Hayden agrees to her deal and they both decide to create his podcast into a video cast on the website. With a few blunders at the start, Hailey helps him out by being his co-host, some one there to bounce off when he got stuck. The believer and the non-believer vibes through out the book.

As they work together, learn about each other, the spark grows with inside them to become more than just co-hosts. Themselves find a new interest in each other as well as the show becoming a popular stream on the web site, so popular to even have their own fan fiction!

The conflict in the book is when both Hayden had to face not only the turmoil from the non-believers, which he had said quite a few time over that he doesn't care about them, the death of his famous Young adult author (think R.L Stein) and his mother's new life, and Hailey also dealing with the non-believers, the grip her toxic ex-boyfriend still has on her after breaking things off, and her new discovery of other people in her life, especially with Hayden and he discovery what real love feels like.

I love this book, and knew a lot about the supernatural, cryptids, and paranormal activities they mention in the book, but discovered a few new ones I didn't know about, like the Denver Airport theory. I also found Hailey believable and relatable as well as I myself have been in her situation a few times with toxic ex's and nasty co-workers. I do love how Mallory combine the 2 traits into the one person.

I adored Hayden in this story as well, he was that guy who want to info dump on to Hailey everything he knew, but as the same time didn't want to scare her as he also fancy her. But I couldn't help feeling that Mallory design Hayden after a semi famous celebrity. But then again, most of us Women's Fiction writers do!

I would place this book in my 5 out 5 category and will read it again. Hope I end up seeing this as a mini series on Netflix on day.
