About this ebook
Pizza you'll die for!
Toby McGill dreams of becoming a world-famous chef, but up until now, his only experience has been watching the Food Network. When Toby lands a summer job at Killer Pizza, where pies like The Monstrosity and The Frankensausage are on the menu, things seem perfect. His coworkers, Annabel and Strobe, are cool, and Toby loves being part of a team. But none of them are prepared for what's really going on at Killer Pizza: It's a front for a monster-hunting organization!
Learning to cook pizzas is one thing, but killing hideously terrifying monsters? That's a whole other story. Still, if Toby quits Killer Pizza, will monsters take over his town?
Greg Taylor's Killer Pizza is a humorous and fast-paced read that R.L. Stine calls "a hot slice of horror that I couldn't put down!"

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5If you're familiar with Men in Black, then you have a good sense of what this book will be like. It's a quick moving story despite its size, and will appeal to tweeners. Makes for a nice beach read for the reluctant Young Adult or the month of October.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A light different kind of mystery/adventure. Middle school level.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The name of the story I read was Killer Pizza. The story is about a kid named Toby McGill and he just got a job at a pizza place called Killer Pizza. But making pizza isn’t the only thing you do at that job. You can actually hunt for monsters that bite humans and make them their own! But there are always cautions when you work at Killer Pizza, you can get bitten and turn.Killer Pizza was a fantastic book! Just enough details and a great story. I would rate this book 5 stars out of 5 because the book made me feel like I was inside the story with Toby. I would recommend this book to anyone. This seems like it was the first ‘kids’ book that I actually enjoyed.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Fun book, sort of like Men in Black, with the premise that there are monsters among us and a few people who know about them and can fight against them. Perfect for some reluctant readers.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a pretty good book. There were some minor issues such as both female characters needing to get saved and, despite the fact that we're told of many different creatures, we only ever meet one. That would have been fine if it were at least explained away by saying the guttata killed off other creatures or something, but there was no explanation offered. The writing was good, the premise was awesome, and the story line was believable. I recommended it to any one who asked.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was one of those silly books that I just saw and thought "I have got to read that!" This book was better than I expected, not quite as silly, and more interesting.Toby is kind of your typical geek; and with his best friend out of town for the summer, he feels like the best thing to do with his time is get a job. Well he gets one at Killer Pizza. When he shows up for his first day of training he is surprised to find that the most popular girl in the school, Anabel, is also working there...as well as a tough older kid that goes by the name Strobe. Toby loves the food channel and is really digging making pizza, but he shortly finds out that the pizza shop is just a front for something else, a monster hunting group, and they want to recruit Toby. Will Toby make the final cut as a monster hunter?I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but it exceeded my expectations. The book is well-written, action packed, and a super easy read. Toby makes an interesting character as a food channel loving geek with hiding depths of monster kicking abilities. In fact all of the characters are quirky and interesting; Strobe, is nick-named that because his personality goes from dark to light quickly and Anabel is a rich popular girl determined to "make it on her own" by working a job for a company her father doesn't own.The action was non-stop, the story was interesting and engaging. Overall it was a quirky and fun read. Kids and adults alike will enjoy this one. The violence wasn't over the top and the story wasn't all that scary, but it was still fun. This is one of those books that I enjoyed, but I probably won't keep around. I would recommend it if you want a darkly humorous, light read. It actually has more depth to it than I was expecting, so much that I will keep Taylor on my list of authors to watch. I hope that his future books are just as entertaining!
