It was just supposed to be a quick trip to the pet store for some cat food, but the universe had other plans for Florence Valentine.

Good for nothing kids and some annoying store employees were giving her a hard time, and then things got worse when she was killed by a delivery truck. Instead of angels, pearly gates, and eternal rewards, a voice in her head keeps telling her that she’s become a dungeon core, whatever that is.

Now people keep coming into her new home, wrecking stuff, and stealing from her. But not everything about this whole ordeal is bad. Not only can Florence decorate her home with a thought, but she can also create the best things in the entire universe — she can create kitty cats.

Should these hooligans keep insisting on coming into her home, well, Florence and her kitties are going to have something to say about that.

Recommend to me whilst I waited for book 12 of He Who Fights With Monsters, Cat Core turned out to be a great little listen.
Beautifully narrated with a nice plot that was not to heavy and some lovely character development (I absolutely love Doug)

Cat Core by #DeanHenegar. As ever, I think that the DOC series will always be a prime example of any dungeon core book and as such a standard has been set. This book, however, has taken the dungeon core experience to a whole new level.

The MC Florence is a prim and proper old lady until she finds herself living the life of a #dungeoncore. Helped by her sidekick cat 🐱 Doug she spends her money on dungeon renovations... and cats.

For any fans of the #WanderingInn series, listen out for Doug whose voice mimics Pisces the necromancer as played by @MouthyMaven. A great read, lost one star because the text became a little rambling in places... 📚4/5🌟 #BookReview

Well done Dean. I really didn’t like Florence for the longest time but she eventually won me over! I love all the cats in the cat core and the adventurers are interesting as well. I love the unique way everything was explained to Florence; lots of thought went into it and I appreciated it. Ok I’m on to book 2 on this one.

As far as setups to a story, a non-gaming pensioner becoming the personification of a dungeon filled with house cats is such an unusual one that it almost seems like the author has challenged himself to deliver a cohesive and entertaining story from such a starting point. However, this author has shown in the past with previous series that he is more than capable of delivering compelling books with a less conventional MC and this one is no exception as it results in an entertaining listen and a great setup for subsequent books too.

The narration certainly helps make the author's job easier too, with the narrator delivering a strong performance that helps bring the characters to life.

Overall, an odd premise results in a great listen.

Slightly odd premise works really well

I really like the concept. An old lady reacting to the shenanigans of powerful entities getting in the way of a Lord fearing Christian woman and her well deserved reward on the afterlife

Innovative and funny
