In this episode of 'The Plot with A Twist,' hosts Roe, Allorah, and Shaye dive into their favorite books and discuss one-star reviews to see if they hold any merit. The trio examines 'Once and Future Witches' by Alix E. Harrow, 'Sing, Unburied, Sing' by Jesmyn Ward, 'The Immortalists' by Chloe Benjamin, 'Kiss the Sky' by Krista and Becca Ritchie, 'Throne of the Fallen' by Kerry Maniscalco, 'Wretched' by Emily McIntyre, 'Mother Faker' by Brittany Nicole, 'War' by Laura Thalassa, and 'Leather and Lark' by Brynne Weaver. Despite the harsh criticisms, each host elaborates on the plots, shares their ratings, and defends their choices passionately. The episode entails a mix of humor, critique, and deep dives into character and plot analysis, capped with a quirky cocktail recommendation, Alien Brain Haemorrhage, themed after the one-star reviews where it sounds bad but it actually delicious.
