I'd ride this ride again...

Revisado: 12-08-23

The world ends to become a reality show for aliens and some guy named Carl gets stuck in the middle of it all with boxer shorts, pink crocs, and his ex’s cat, Princess Donut. What’s not to love? I laughed through half of it (unusual for me), and waited on the edge of my seat for the rest of it.

For me…well, there’s a cat. I do love cats. And she’s sassy, salty, and snobbish. Carl is clueless, clumsy, and cantankerous. It’s a beautiful combination. Jeff does an incredible job of becoming each character, yet keeping every single one unique. As an audiobook narrator, I appreciate the emotion and texture in each and every voice.

Also, as a LitRPG, Matt did a great job with environment, tension, suspense, and fun NPCs (aka secondary and tertiary characters). The writing is witty and engaging, and he has a beautiful way of letting you know exactly how his characters are feeling without ever telling you how they’re feeling! This was just a fun roller coaster that made me want to visit the theme park again and again!

Great, fun read!

Michael, the author and narrator, has created a fun and interesting world with memorable characters. His in-depth research shows through with actual cryptids that I'd never heard of, and tying them into a created world of intrigue and amusing personalities. His character voices and accents are very individualistic and well performed, keeping me looking forward to pressing play ASAP.

I've read everything this young author has written, met him at conventions, and encourage others to do the same. This guy is as charismatic as his books, and I look forward to his next book!

A Welcome Surprise!

Revisado: 09-11-20

Loved it! My first book by this author and I'm checking out others! Always great to find a talented new writer.

Believable and real characters that have conversations that aren't predictable or trite. A story that kept me coming back with a anticipation. A fresh and well thought out view on what's often hard to do; a modern Cthulhu tale that is the perfect balance of supernatural and realism. The protagonists and antagonists both have realistic motivations, allowing the reader to lose themselves in the story.
