The Slice

Killer Pizza, Book 2

Written by Greg Taylor

This is a quick-paced action story that starts as soon as you start reading. It begins with three high school students who work at Killer Pizza, which is a front for an undercover business known as Monster Combat Officers. They help to take care of monsters who are causing problems. Their first assignment is to help a new monster who wants to escape her kind to live as a human. They quickly find out tht a lot of trouble is waiting for them while trying to save the monster known as Calanthe. They become friends with her and help her get away from her pursuers. They have to battle snake-like enemies who can paralyze them with black ooze. I enjoyed this book and found that once I started reading, I had a hard time putting it down. I wanted to find out how they were going to handle the problems that faced them.

Publisher’s Description

Four months after they discover that their new place of employment, Killer Pizza, was a front for an underground Monster Hunting Organization, Toby and his fellow rookie Monster Combat Officers, Annabel and Strobe, have been invited to New York City to tour KP Headquarters. But the exclusive tour is cut short when a monster emergency sends the trio off on a secret mission delivering Calanthe, a beautiful 14-year-old, defecting monster with serpent-like abilities, into the Monster Protection Program. It seems like an easy assignment until the teens realize Calanthe is the sacrificial offering in a ceremony set to happen in a few days and her people will stop at nothing to get her back!
