Review: Lovebug - Book #2 Natural History Museum - Erin Mallon - February 2021 I have been so excited to read this book as I loved Flirtasaurus by Erin Mallon, I hadn't laughed that much in a long time. When Lovebug was released, I was so excited and the thing I am pleased with was that this book met my expectations and was even more hilarious than the first book in my opinion. I love Erin Mallon's writing as it is quirky, laugh out loud and so quick-witted. I felt right at home reading this book and, in some aspects, I felt like Mabel the main character and just wanted to be her as she wasn't afraid, to be honest, and she was freaking hilarious. The other thing I loved was the main male character Wallace as he was just as funny as Mabel and they were so suited for each other, also the characters in this book have a real genuineness about them and it feels so real. My other reason why I couldn't wait to read this book was that it was set in the location of the Natural...

But there is something mighty amiss in this task—especially when quite a few of these cases lead me right back to my home town of Haunted Peak and the secrets buried there. Goodreads / Amazon — EXCERPT: “Out less than a minute and already talking to spirits and punching ghosts. Way to go, Adler.” That smooth voice did not belong to my best friend, J. Oh, no.

I swung my head to face Bishop La Roux, straightening my shoulders like I was going to have t...
