“your 🦅 is mine, your 🦅 is mine, and your 🦅 is mine”

loved this and i'm now very obsessed with the phrase "Central America, Country Unknown."

The fact that Alex’s surname is VOLKOV, which in Russian volk means wolf (and then there’s the classic -ov suffix) is so funny to me. His name is literally Alex Wolf 💀

I absolutely love that Mike’s Mic unintentionally started an entire genre of unhinged recaps, and I love even more that it’s my favorite genre on KZfaq

as someone who hasn't read the book this was crazyy lmao but so entertaining, pls do the whole series

Alex is truly giving "you are a normal regular civilian, act like it"

Believe it or not, I went to uni with a guy a bit like Alex. He was very rich and was always so moody, and once told me that he had contact who would kill anyone who had “wronged” him (which included a high school teacher who he disliked) because his dad is so rich. He was honestly a bit scary and such a draining person to be around, that the thought of romanticising him makes me feel so uncomfortable. He was quite misogynistic as well and was a walking red flag.

Alex spending like a decade trying to ruin Michael Chen’s life only for it to *not even be him* has gotta be the funniest part of this book. It’s wild, imagine if batman tracked down his parents’ killer after years and years of searching and scheming and getting clotheslined with the reveal that they actually got murked by weird uncle Al who hogs the green bean casserole at thanksgiving, like can you imagine????

Sometimes heroes don't wear capes, they have a board of printed royalty free stock photos on their wall ❤

I feel like this book would make a lot more sense if it took place in a fantasy world. 1. If it takes place in the past where women are typically treated lesser then it would explain why her brother and Alex both treat her, a grown woman like a child who needs protection. It would explain why she needs a "guardian." 2. If Alex was a prince or something similar then it would explain his absurd amount of power. Of course he'd have insane connections and all sorts of dubious people working for him. 3. I also think it would make his violent behavior and thirst for revenge feel more natural for him at such a young age. And it would fit in the world a lot better instead of feeling just ridiculous and out of place, 4. All the stuff with her dad and his uncle would make a lot more sense. The uncle could've wanted the throne or some other kind of power. Her dad's attempt to kill her would still be a little wild but again, I think it'd feel more normal in a fantasy world. 5. THE RANDOM PRINCESS WOULDN'T BE SO RANDOM.

EVER since Stephanie Meyer came up with the cool concept of vampire eyes turning darker when hungry, EVERY dark romance guy has his eyes randomly darkening to add to the atmosphere

"Enjoy poverty..." That line took me out!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂

Bridget calling Alex stupid and him retorting against that with his ✨️IQ of 160✨️ is SO FUNNY

Have i read this book? No. Was i planing on it? Also no. Still watched this and now i understand all the old hungarian grannys watching Turkish reality TV. Because this feels exactly like it

alex’s insanely “psychotic” tendencies actually fall in line with him having a really high IQ lol. people with higher IQs are generally not good at adjusting with situations and often have psychological/social deficits which they’ve never been taught how to deal with efficiently. coupled with his already existing trauma of watching his family get murdered in front of his eyes is so overkill 😭 in another universe this guy would’ve been the zodiac killer of philadelphia

"central america, country unknown" got me every time.

I’ve actually read this whole series, and I HIGHLY recommend doing an unhinged recap of Josh and Jules’s book. It somehow involves…blackmail? A break-in? A painting worth millions of dollars that Josh just happens to have hanging above his bed? Jules narrowly avoiding arrest? A MOMENT WHERE JOSH SHOWS UP AT THE AIRPORT AS JULES IS ABOUT TO LEAVE AND IS LIKE “WaAiT i’M cOmInG wItH yOuUu”

The genre of insanely detailed and insane recaps from weird TikTok books is truly grateful for your contribution 😂❤

The dad suddenly being a super villain was crazy like a slow clap???? Please

As someone who did date a hyper possessive man and was *literally* stalked by him for months after we broke up, this gives me the biggest ick I've ever felt in my entire life. I really wish it ended with the FL finding happiness with herself (and possibly the friend from the end of the book who asked her out) and Alex rotting away to his work (maybe even in jail after literally skinning a man alive) instead of whatever this "story" was 💀

so many people use the word “unhinged” to describe their relatively normal recaps. this-THIS-is unhinged. thank you for your service.

HELP i didnt expect to be mentioned lmao thank you for taking one for the team because i was this close || to reading these hahaha

Alex eating that disgusting cookie and pretending to like it is honestly something I would do.

Can we also acknowledge the fact that “Ava” is ONE letter off from “Ana”?? This might be a stretch but it really feels like just too much of a coincidence and too similar to not be a detail we’re supposed to notice 😭

“But we’re family!” “We’re not family, you killed my family” * The Lion King has entered the chat*

i would literally call the police after alex did any of this shit LMAO what the hell

i always use the twisted series as my prime example that saying ''i really enjoyed reading this book'' doesn't mean ''i think this book is extremely well written, the characters and the plot are so well thought out, it should be winning awards''. sometimes you don't want to read a good book, you just want to be entertained and have a good, cringy time while reading it

“is this completely ridiculous? absolutely. but also it’s a little bit rizz” LOLLLLL so true queen, thank you for this work of art

Any time someone, real or fictional, mentions their IQ, I cannot take them seriously anymore. Additionally, love that I didn't have to read this book to truly experience the vomit comet rollercoaster ride this was.

oh my god I am so glad I wasn’t the only person that thought Alex was such a pick me. “Oh I am not like other guys, oh I am better, smarter, richer feelings suck” that was the vibe i got from the man the WHOLE book.

god the ending is a horror book like truly scary

I, too, read this book and couldn't stop because of my toxic inability to leave certain things undone. I, too, got exasperated by how much Ana had to remind the readers of how wealthy and smart Alex was. I, too, did not understand the logic of time in this book. Everything was just so bad I had to take notes in my notes app and I ended up with a 17 pages long manifesto on my hate of Alex (tho, tbf, the document would probably be more around 7-8 Word doc pages) Excerpts from it include : - Can we stop babying grown ass women, please? It all started with Josh thinking she couldn't survive a year without him, when she has school, a job, friends and a well thought-out routine. Now, this crusty, dusty, musty man got her followed through two different countries and forces himself into her life AGAIN when she clearly said no and even threatened him with a restraining order. Yes, travelling alone, especially as a woman (of colour++) is dangerous, but no more dangerous than being affiliated with that dangerous, rotten-nail looking, white bazillionaire, who has killed and isn't afraid to kill again. Like, she's better without you and most of her bigger problems started with you so just get away for the love of God. - Alex is my literal nightmare. Imagine having an ex, so rich and powerful, so hung up on you, so jealous of the people around you, you can't hide, you can't fly away from, you can't report, you can't turn the page, you can't find someone else. Plus they so strongly believe they're doing the right thing, they won't back off, won't listen to you, your "no"s and your boundaries (because obviously they know better than you what is good for you?). How do you ever win? How do you ever get rid of them? Nightmare fuel. - OH MY GOD JUST LEAVE HER ALONE I repeat, how is he any better than Ex?? We, the audience, know she kinda wants him back against her better judgement. But *he* doesn't know, he ain't reading the book. So he's just a creepy, taller, stronger, broader, richer, older, more trained, more powerful, straight cishet man following her around begging her to take him back and harassing her and following her places, and talking to her against her will. Just, imagine. He's the Love Interest of this book. I'll also never forget Bridget for seeking him out. Sir was done (even though he had her followed, but really, it is the lesser of two evils) but naaaah, she had to go after him to tell him about Ava's business. SMH - The fact that he wore her out into forgiving him is actually insanity and I ABSOLUTELY hate that

Someone should just take a story like this and make a psychological thriller of it. Make him hot, rich and smart. Make him the classic love interest in a romance book, but she's not interested. She can't do anything about it though. He has her controlled every moment of her life, where she works or who she meets, she can't go to the police because of all his connections. Her friends think he's the perfect man for her and don't believe her. That would be so interesting

I need so many more of these. Feel free to do the whole series and save me the trouble of reading them. This plot was absolutely unhinged. In the worst way possible.

The ending of this book holds the spot of the cringiest fictional moment for me. The way I have to stop reading when I got to the singing part still haunts me.

I knew a guy in college who would probably love this book. Spoiler: he literally stalked me for 6 months and continues to message me from new numbers 8 years later after I broke off our friendship because he blew up at me for not wanting to date him 🙃

I literally thought Twisted Love was some sort of self insert because I couldn’t remember if “Ana” or “Ava” was the author/FMC 😭

this is my new favorite type of content lmao edit: Ava, Alex, and Josh are, like, the least imaginative, most basic names I've ever heard. especially together.

After reading Twisted Hate (the third book of this series), a book that I could not physically finish, or else I would've had to jump off a bridge, bleach my eyeballs, or do anything traumatic enough to erase my memory, Twisted games doesn't even seem that bad to me. Like, trust me. It gets worse than Ava and Alex. Like way worse.

This made me realize (as a person who has read this multiple times not sure how to describe it more and more each time) this video has made me realize a perfect description. "if Alex was a ugly dude, this book would have been over by the 8th page."

There are too many amazing quotes in this video, but "And he swears vengeance, justice, revenge, whatever, all of those nouns" takes the cake

In just this first ten minutes, this is already the most fanficcy romance book I've never read. Dear god. I am both horrified and deeply entertained.

The way Ava couldn't literally do ANYTHING about Alex stalking her bcuz of whatever assets he has is so unhinged😭 and like Ava babes wHY take him back you were doing so well😭😭 This video is definitely the highlight of my week, thank you so much❤

the beef she had with Bridget throughout the whole book is another form of funny😂 also, this video made me realise how the whole friend group is like messed up, they worry about the wrong things and when they decide to help, it’s totally useless or could’ve been way better

a video i didnt know i needed. this book was an unhinged ride from start to finish

this book was like every bad aspect of wattpad mafia fanfics but published with a bubbly cover

“central america, country unknown.” will take me out every time

The use of the eagle sound to censor cuss words and the highly sexual parts is honestly so hilarious and perfect

The wall stock photos, the red flags, the organized collage, the vibes are immaculate in this video. I have debated reading this book based off of Tik Tok but, after this recap I think it reinforces my thought that Alex is a walking red flag and Ava is colorblind.

"central america, country unknown" is going to be one of those phrases i quote daily that no one except me thinks is funny

Josh's book has a scene that made me so uncomfy and it felt like it was simply put there to make him more morally gray. It haunts me.

I read this book and truly TRULY questioned the sanity of everyone who recommended it to me. I have not recovered from this book and I read it like 6 months ago

These books are overhyped to hell on booktok and I see them everywhere in bookshops knowing you can read books like these for free on wattpad. I never really understood the hype for these. The female mcs are portrayed as innocent dummies whilst the male mc are walking violators of the Geneva convention. Thanks for this entertaining 1.30 hour vid where you calmly try to explain these bizarre books that goes against every human right. This vid was what Homer was talking about when he was writing the odyssey

I'm only 18 minutes in and this is already the best summary ever. I absolutely ate up this book and this series for the sheeeeer "absolutely not, what is actually happening" energy Josh and Joules book is the least insane... And that's insane to say because it's still wild.

Imagine being a camp counselor and walking behind the cabin to find 10-year olds having a book club on this book. 15 of them reading it aloud in a circle. Didn’t even know they could read chapter books 😭😭

“I’m not above ruining women” dude, I KNOW WE HAVE THE WHOLE BOOKS TO PROVE IT!

The reading aloud really emphasizes the chaos of this plot. 10/10

Immediately subscribed for "Nobody really knows for sure what the line is for dark romance vs normal romance. It's kinda just all vibe"

The first time I discovered your channel was from your credence video and now I’m obsessed with all of these unhinges recaps lmao

truly harrowing. thank you for taking one for the team

Listen I’ve read this (I’ve read all of them, actually) but I am HERE for this video, parked and ready to be fed that premium content. Thank you for your service 🙇🏻‍♀️🫡 Please do the rest of the books in the series!

the "central america country unknown" bit got me every time

this book was such a wild read and i’m glad u did this so i could relive the wildness. like i didn’t like the book AT ALL. but the twists were so funny that i was so entertained

"Central America, country unknown" shouldn't be this funny

I DNF'd this book so hard. I got to the photographer friend scene and was out. This was such a good watch to understand i was so so right to find the exit door.

The confrontation scene with Ava's dad still keeps me up at night

Please make more of these videos! I was INVESTED. Completely and entirely INVESTED. I don't know how you managed to recap the book in such a hilarious and concise way, but thank you. Best hour and a half I've ever spent on youtube... I was literally in tears.

"He's saying he'll never leave her again" Me: Interesting promise for someone whose biggest red flag is that he never leaves

I'm gonna be honest, the eagle cries to cover the swears takes me out of it. Like I just can't help but laugh. I also really like your earrings.

caught one of my sophomore students reading this last week and now i feel like i should send her to the guidance office or something

I love these videos! Haunting Adelaide is absolutely absurd, definitely a great candidate for a recap

I loved your energy, your humor, hope to see more of your book analysis

this is the content i'm here for! hope you do the rest of the series if your mental health can withstand that torture

thank you for capturing the absolutely absurd yet wildly entertaining plot that is twisted love. pls do the rest of the series 😭😭😭

Have I read Twisted Love? No. Did I watch this entire video anyway? Absolutely I did.

I'm not sure how I got here from the algorithm, but I'm glad I'm here, I was sold in the first 10 seconds. Showed this to my friend, and had a great time enjoying the rollercoaster of this book through you. + 2 subscribers. We both agreed after the "Biological responses can be mastered" line, Alex was a light novel protagonist. Incredibly edgy character.

I'm still not over the fact that there randomly is a European princess-diary-style PRINCESS chilling in America without being relevant to the plot whatsoever in a non-fantasy romance novel??? What did the author smOKE????

This recap is an actual masterpiece, it made my day! 100% accurate depiction of how unhinged this plot is

As a reader who does not read romance, thank you for informing me on what the girls are upto these days. I am speechless because of the shock my body just experienced and need some time to recover.

I found you yesterday and I never heard of any of the books you talk abt but you make such a great content out of them, you talk very fast which is so great and refreshing to not have to wait 5 mins for someone to get to the point, I love your takes on things and your videos are literally perfect to listen to at work, overall subscribed

only 20 mins into this and the "central america, country unknown" recurring joke is SENDING ME LMFAOO

I read this, I enjoyed this, and I'm OBSESSED with this recap! Please, please, PLEASE do the whole series! As an unapologetic Josh Chen stan, I would love to watch you tear him to shreds.

I NEED YOU TO RECAP THIS WHOLE SERIES PLEASE

Thank you for this. I cringe when I see insta reels talking about how great he is and I don't understand. I have never wanted to destroy a book like this one when I finished.

49:16 The plot of this book is so ridiculous and full of plot twists that it’s genuinely entertaining LMAO I’m laughing so hard Also your delivery of it is simply perfect

I had no interest in reading the book but will I watch almost 1.5 hours of recap? Yes.

"Why does she know this man's IQ?" If you think for one second that this man hasn't made his 160 IQ a core part of his personality and doesn't bring it up as a humble brag constantly, you're just wrong.

Once I had tried to read the first book of this series, needless to say I couldn't and had to donate the entire series to my best friend who devoured this from the first page to the last Girl is built diff

Omggg Lexi, pleaseee make a video like that about “king of wrath”, also by Ana Huang!! that book would fit this format perfectly, it’s not as deranged as “twisted love”, but a mess nevertheless

i could never take these type of books srsy, from the writting style to the plot and characters, all of them HORRIBLE 💀

this is a HORROR book 😭😭 poor girl is being abused by a billionaire who can commit unspeakable crimes with 0 consequences and has entire governments on his side 🤧 Ava needs to seek asylum or smth in that small fictional European country

As someone who read this book and loved it, this is gold cuz it’s so true and funny😂😂😂 I had all these thoughts in my head and still ended the book with “yup Alex is my book husband” even though I could do without the singing honestly.

Wow. I thought the book was gonna be bad because of the "romance" but it's actually bad because of its insane, unhinged "plot". Also, Alex is kinda like Joe from You, absolutely disgusting behaviour. I sighed, eyerolled and faceslapped myself so many times during this video. 10/10 loved it, you did a great job, please do more!

I kept cringing reading the book, you saved me from never knowing the ending but also not having to finish reading it

You know how i WANTED this book to end? (Even though i knew it wouldnt end that way) I wanted ava to not take alex back, and when jack asked her out for her to be like 'oh id love to but my psycho ex-boyfriend has been stalking me for a year, and will murder any man who touches me, and also i cant get a restraining order on him or something like that because of his connections in the british government' And then the end ava just stays single forever.

this is random af but your hair looks stunning, also i loved this explanation, i never wanted to read this book but i like to know what happened anyways

You need to do the rest of this series bc I must have that energy in my life. Also, the way that Alex is somehow good at any and everything possible, but also does everything in the most cringy way 😭. And they did Jules so dirty in this book her only personality trait is having double d’s and liking parties. 😭😭😭.

I loved everything about this video! The talking speed, the voice change for Alex’s pov, the sarcasm! I’m obsessed!

I won't ever read these books, but I find this video enjoyable and hysterical. I would love to see a whole series of you reading these books and describing the entire plot.

The worst book I have ever read, by far, has been After by Anna Todd. I couldn’t even bring myself to finish it to the very end, it was so ridiculous. I get reworked up about this series annually because there are FIVE movies about it. Reading this, though hard to get through, was a step up from After for me lol
