My favorite read in 2024

Book cover of The Butcher's Masquerade

❤️ loved this book because...

This book as all of the books in the series offer depth of character interactions, ability to relate with the characters' pain and internal struggle, as well as sarcasm and lines that cause a re-listen/re-read because you were laughing through tears, as well as morally bending moments and crazy fights to tackle.
Seriously Matt Dinninman is an amazing writing to capture the balance between laughter, cringe, bad-assery and deep emotional connection.

What is this book about?

Attention. Attention. The gates are down. The hunters are loose.
Run, Run, Run.

A lush jungle teeming with danger. Savage dinosaurs seeking blood. A fallen princess intent on vengeance. A mysterious, end-of-floor celebration for the top crawlers, dubbed “The Butcher’s Masquerade.”

The sixth floor. The Hunting Grounds.

As the remaining crawlers battle for their lives, a new, terrible threat looms. Outside tourists are finally allowed to enter the game, and they are here and ready to hunt. Among them is Vrah, a famed and veteran hunter, intent on collecting the biggest trophy of her career.

But their prey is far…

Book cover of Dungeon Crawler Carl

❤️ loved this book because...

After reading this it only took me a couple days to purchase all other in the series. The characters are 3 dimensional and you get to walk along side their visable struggle with moral decisions, frustrations, and grief. The series only builds to better and better!

Why should I read it?

112 authors picked Dungeon Crawler Carl as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.

What is this book about?

The apocalypse will be televised!

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible.

In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth—from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds—collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground.

The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot. A dungeon so enormous, it circles the entire globe.

Only a few dare venture inside. But once you're…
