I quite liked your book review vid. A nice change from the norm, even though it was err, long. But, you put a smile on my face, and I always enjoy your content. I personally don't tend to read 'spicey' books, I'm more of a horror, and comedy type of book reader, although to completely diverge and disprove what I just said, I do have the whole Laurell K Hamilton, Anita Blake book series (loosely based on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but not) which I thoroughly enjoyed, and I think you'd like it too. 😉 xxx

The style of this video with the little investigation board, explaining the story with personal comments and opinions added and all that was sooo entertaining to watch! I'd love to see more book reviews in this style!

As an American omfg??? Why is no one talking about how like surprisingly good the American accent is??? Idk why but hearing people who don’t have an American accent do that accent gets me all giggly she sounds better than I do

@jordanmarshall6628 25 дней назад

I came to the comments just for this. She doesn't over correct, which is what most people do when they're faking an accent. It's way less noticeable when her accent slips through because it doesn't sound unnatural.

ngl what I first saw the title of this vid I thought "here we go another person who's gonna read a book they know they aren't gonna like and hate/mock the genre". I was so happy and relieved to be wrong. Your commentary was so much fun and I really appreciate your acknowledgement of misogyny and unfairness that comes wrapped with the typical "criticism" these type of books get. While I'm hardly a reader for this category, I have so many friends who enjoy these "spicy" books and from what they typically tell me; the stories are pretty unhinged and self-indulging because that's what they're meant to be. it's really nice to see a RU-vidr who reads a series like this actually having fun with it.

When I tell you that the damage that the Twisted Series made on my brain changed me as a person. I would not shut up about these books to anyone that would listen because they read like a Telenovela and I was so invested. I am ready to spiral again, thank you so much for this.

@MichNative2000 29 дней назад

You should release a podcast series called "Elbat's unhinged review's" because this was fantastic.

@hanonymous1233 29 дней назад

It's funny the comparison with Pride & Prejudice tbh, because women who read romances like that back in the day were criticised in exactly the same way as women who read spicy romance now. Plus P&P is essentially an enemies to lovers romance with 2 kidnapping plots (and the rare sunshine for sunshine pairing). People are so snobby! I am not a big romance fan, but that's a me thing! I stand with my spicy romance loving sisters everywhere.

@CrystalOkonkwo99 24 дня назад

With Josh, similar to Daphne in Bridgeton, he is painted as the good guy between the 4 guys when he did something unforgivable. What Josh did after Jules told the truth was way worse than Alex lying about how he felt about Ava while his uncle had kidnapped her.

I laughed so hard listening to you describe the plot. I learned a while ago, that you can`t think about these books for too long. You can`t quite enjoy them if you do. But I did so I need to add, that Alex showed up to her exhibition and bought all of her pictures. And everybody acts like this is a cute thing to do!?!?!? She did that exhibition to see if she could make it in the art world. And his anser just was: Dont worry. You don`t need talent or an indepentant job. You have a hot & rich boyfriend! ?

The fact that LAWYER Jules decides to steal the painting instead of bringing her ex to court because of the explicit photos he has of her as minor is insane. Like that’s cp now right? And if they’re released it’s revenge porn on top of that. Send the ex to jail. He can hang out with American business man and possible mafia member Michael Chen.
