title: The Contrary Tale of the Butterfly Girl: From the Peculiar Adventures of John Lovehart, Esq., Volume 2 (Notebooks of John Loveheart, E)
author:  Ishbelle Bee 
description: &ldquo;This book is such a cacophony of prose, eccentricity and delight.&rdquo;<br><b>&ndash;&#160;Black Tea &amp; Milk<br></b><br>&ldquo;The characters and instances are brilliant and the scenes rendered in flawless fashion.&rdquo;<br><b>&ndash;&#160;Koeur&rsquo;s Book Reviews<br></b><br>&ldquo;Well, Ishbelle Bee has done it again. After my wonderful experience reading&#160;<i>The Singular and Extraordinary Tale of Mirror and Goliath</i>&#160;(I can truly only describe reading it as an&#160;<i>experience</i>), I was anxious to see where Bee was going to take both her characters and us, the reader, and I am tickled by the result.&rdquo;<br><b>&ndash;&#160;From My Bookshelf<br></b><br>&ldquo;The writing continues to have a lovely lyrical quality to it, even when she&rsquo;s writing descriptions of a massacre.&rdquo;<br><b>&ndash;&#160;Bellsiebooks<br></b><br>&ldquo;If you haven&rsquo;t come across this series yet, you&rsquo;ll be doing yourself a favour to seek it out &ndash; I can guarantee you won&rsquo;t have read anything quite like it!&rdquo;<br><b>&ndash;&#160;The Bookshelf Gargoyle<br></b><i><br>&ldquo;The Contrary Tale of the Butterfly Girl</i>&#160;is an action packed, hilariously horrific, engrossing story that I could not put down &ndash; I loved it!&rdquo;<br><b>&ndash;&#160;Views &amp;&#160;Reviews<br></b><br>&ldquo;The closest I think I can come to describe it is to think of Roald Dahl at his darkest,&#160;<i>Alice in Wonderland</i>, Hilaire Belloc and a bit of&#160;<i>The League of Gentlemen</i>&#160;all mixed together with cakes and body parts in a kaleidoscope. It&rsquo;s the most colourful, inventive and fun novel I&rsquo;ve read for a long time.&rdquo;<br><b>&ndash;&#160;Hair Past a Freckle<br></b><br>&ldquo;The second in the Peculiar Adventures of John Loveheart, Esq. series. If you recall, I could not rave enough about the first novel&#160;this summer. The second in the series did not disappoint. These novels are seriously fantastic in their disturbing glory.&rdquo;<br><b>&ndash;&#160;Bookworm in the Stars</b>
