Thank you to NetGalley and Bramble for this ARC. My opinions are my own. Beckett Raines, the Marquis of Hentrose, has been widowed for ten years, leaving him a single father to young Rebecca (who would like to be known as Lady Becks). He’s been aided by a number of loyal servants, but now his meddling mother has decided that it’s time for him to marry an appropriate woman who can be a good role model to the girl. Because Beckett was guided by his […]

CBR17 Bingo: Rec’d (I honestly don’t know how many people have raved about this book, on CBR, other review sites on the internet, as well as in my IRL book club) By now, most people who are even vaguely interested in this series probably know what it’s about, but I’ll try to give a brief summary. Carl is wandering around, half-dressed in the snow, looking for his ex-girlfriend’s prize-winning Persian cat, when Earth is suddenly attacked by aliens. All the buildings collapse in an instant […]

After reading the first three books in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman while traveling between Christmas and New Years, I was excited to continue with the series.

These books continue the story of Carl and Princess Donut, his ex-girlfriend’s cat, as they compete in the galactic gameshow, Dungeon Crawler World after the collapse of […]
