Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this book. This was another fun and action packed read in the series that had quite a few surprises. I can’t for the next book!

A new spin on a world with monsters, where kids go to school to be master chefs who learn to hunt and cook monsters. Also, learn how to persevere and not make the monsters extinct. At the same time, a group of people is trying to push their hands so they can kill all the monsters.

The second installation of this YA graphic novel finds the crew back for their second year and dealing with poachers and smugglers. This series is really fun and unique with the food monsters! You definitely need to read the first volume before this one otherwise a lot of relationships and plot points will be confusing. They are easy to read though, so it will be easy to catch up! I thought we got some really good plot progression here, and there were some big plot twists that I did not see coming! Characters who I thought might betray the main crew were fine and then there were surprise betrayals! It also sets up the next volume nicely as we can see the tension building even more. Can't wait to see what awaits Gourmand next time!

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fun sequel and it was full of fun. This will be a great kids book.

Thank you IDW Publishing and NetGalley for the advanced electronic review copy of this book. The adventure continues in the second book of the culinary combat series Cooking with Monsters. Same great characters, same awesome graphics, more monsters, more combat, and non-stop action makes this a fun read. Can’t wait for the next volume!

A fun middle-grade (suitable for teens/younger YA readers too) graphic novel with a lovely queer representation.
The book is both weird and entertaining, and the story is well-told, the art is great for the story also.
