I'm already a fan of Annie's writing style and this urban fantasy series. Dungeon Crawl is the 8th audiobook and picks up almost a year after the previous story ended. The books in the Twenty-Sided Sorceress series need to be read in order to understand the plotline.
This audiobook is read by one of my favourite narrators - Hollie Jackson. I love the pace that she reads, the emotions she portrays during the various scenes and the voices she gives the characters.
The main series threat to our protagonist, Jade, was dealt with in the previous book. Therefore, we see the focus shifting in this story. A new danger has been uncovered and Jade and her friends have zombies to contend with! I enjoyed being disgusted and terrified, listening to this one. Annie is excellent at building tension and writing dynamic fight scenes. I also enjoyed the softer, emotional scenes, especially those between Jade and her bestie Harper or Jade and super-hot shifter boyfriend Alek. This story had it all.
Dungeon Crawl has taken us on a different path and I'm excited to listen to the final two audiobooks in the series. I'm hoping that Jade's heritage plays a bigger part and I'm keen to watch her, her friends and the rest of the townsfolk rebuild their lives.

8th in the series; strengths are still there (bond between characters), so are weaknesses (plot canyons, a main character who acts and thinks like she's 20, not the 50 she supposedly is). If you liked the others, you'll like this one. Continues to read like an RPG; we go here, stuff happens, we do this other stuff, then this stuff happens, now oops this other thing is happening.. etc. Not much forward momentum in personal growth.

Good
I thought it was a good book and I can't wait to see where the characters go next. I'm glad Harper is back.

Good lesson in why you have to explore the whole map. Curious to see where Jade's relationship with Noah goes from here.

Enjoyable as are all the others in this series. Been so long since I have read others that I was concerned keeping characters straight but slipped back in with no effort. Can't figure out if I am happy (there will be two more books) or sorry (there will only be two more books!)

I am amused at gamer fiction. This one has undead, and some serious implications for the future. Yay, and hooray.

3.5/5 stars
I had originally planed to wait with the rest of this series until the last book was out. I know the author is working on it and plan to have it out before 2021, but then life happened and I've been burning through audiobooks like a crazy person, and I found that I'm really in an ''easy supernatural''-mood, and so I knew this series would fit into that.
I was a little on the fence about this book when it came to story as well, I have to say. I wasn't sure what would happen after the last book, so I was pleasently surprised to see all the characters again, as well as the story in general, which was really interesting.
And that's what I can say without spoiling.
