The Butcher's Masquerade (Dungeon Crawler Carl)

The stakes keep getting higher and higher but thanks to a special cookbook and some stalwart allies and friends, Carl and Donut keep on trucking! Dinosaurs (including some that Mongo can make friends with!), lawyers (who ends up being quite helpful surprisingly), hunters (mostly awful but some are complicated), and even a crawlcon (complete with appearances from some Princess Posse fans) are littered on this level keeping the excitement (and gore) to the extreme. Yes, there are sad things, especially since it is so easy to get attached to the various other crawlers and npcs as they come into contact with Carl and Donut. That is what makes this series so great and really hard to put down! It has the right balance of humor, carnage, feelings, and death defying antics (some of Carl's solutions to problems are downright crazy bananas!). So, yes, totally awesome even if that last bombshell at the end has my heart dropping for the next book but also really looking forward to it. And I am enjoying the extra added bits from behind the scenes at the Pineapple Cabaret! This series is great reading (and listening too) and beware, it is easy to get hooked! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this fantastically crazy book!
