This is a sequel to Killer Pizza and follows the same characters on another monster hunting adventure. The sequel is quick paced, the characters and situations are believable (considering it's about hunting monsters), and leaves you still wanting to read more. I would like to see the series develop their friendships a little bit deeper, Taylor keeps that on the surface but maybe that is for the best since this time they are also saving a monster from the others in her village instead of hunting and killing this time they are being hunted. That sounds intense but the subject matter is well done and not too violent which is why younger readers would be okay with it. I would recommend 3rd grade and up.

But KP is actually a front for an organization of monster hunters. The three co-workers have been invited to join the KP ranks.As soon as they arrive, Harvey sends them out on a job. They're asked to bring in a dekayi monster who needs protection from her own kind. However, not much information about the dekayi exists. They're supposed to find a dekayi girl who looks human in Central Park and bring her to headquarters.Things don't go according to plan. Someone doesn't want the dekayi girl to escape. They're hot on her trail. After a huge fight, the team finally escapes with the girl. They return to Hidden Hills and their normal lives.Then Harvey calls with news that Calanthe only wants to talk with them. She's not ready to spill any secrets unless she's under their protection. Harvey comes up with a plausible story of a foreign exchange student, and Calanthe arrives to stay with Annabel.The three not only have the job of protecting her, but also trying to acclimate her into the human world. Everything goes smoothly until they uncover that the dekayi will do anything to get Calanthe back.THE SLICE picks up four months after KILLER PIZZA ends. I love the idea of a pizza joint being a front for fighting monsters! I love the names of the pizzas, and I love the banter between the three friends and the co-workers. THE SLICE includes lots of action, danger, and suspense. It's a winner!
