The most anticipated graphic novel of 2024, concluding the story of young Karen Reyes, the most inspiring “monster” in contemporary fiction.

Set against the tumultuous political backdrop of late ’60s Chicago, My Favorite Thing Is Monsters Book Two is the eagerly awaited conclusion to one of the most acclaimed graphic novels of the past decade. Presented as the fictional graphic diary of 10-year-old Karen Reyes as she tries to solve the murder of her beloved and enigmatic upstairs neighbor, Anka Silverberg, a holocaust survivor, while the interconnected stories of those around her unfold.

In Book Two, dark mysteries past and present continue to abound in the tumultuous and violent Chicago summer of 1968. Young Karen attends the Yippie-organized Festival of Life in Grant Park and finds herself swept up in a police stomping. Privately, she continues to investigate Anka’s recent death and discovers one last cassette tape that sheds light upon Anka's heroic activities in Nazi Germany. She wrestles with her own sexual identity, the death of her mother, and the secrets she suspects her brother Deez of hiding. Ferris’s exhilarating cast of characters experience revelations and epiphanies that both resolve and deepen the mysteries visited upon them earlier.

Visually, the story is told in Ferris's inimitable style that breathtakingly and seamlessly combines panel-to-panel storytelling and cartoon montages filled with B-movie horror and pulp monster mag iconography.

Really wonderful read
Format: Kindle
Really wonderful read. Heard a therapist say that the best relationship are those of which your partner is willing to work through childhood trauma. This book would be an accurate description. Highly recommend to readers.

What happens when feelings develop?
Format: Kindle
Well written as usual from this wonderful author! The feels! The frustration! The angst…ugh. The MCs were perfectly flawed and their development satisfyingly done. The spice was so nice and flowed well.

Another Good one
Format: Kindle
Adrian J Smith wrote another good one. This book made this book series so much better. I loved how we got the update from the other couples in the first 2 books. This book had love, HEA, sadness, heartbreak, disgust, and spice. Highly recommend this book as well as all of this author's books.

Had a few issues
Format: Kindle
This was definitely not my favorite romance by this author. I had a couple of issues with it. First, I did not particularly care for Fallon. She had a tendency to make her problems into Savannah's problems that I really didn't care for. I really didn't like in particular how she blamed Savannah for her ex husband's behavior, and how unsympathetic she was about Savannah's body image problem. Also, I've noticed that all the male exes of MCs in Smith's books tend to be just horrible people. I haven't read all of her books, but I can't think of any where the male ex wasn't a jerk of some flavor. The romance between Savannah and Fallon didn't feel like it got enough time before they were moving into HEA territory. It felt like a lot of the emotional bonding/growth that normally occurs in romance books was replaced by spicy scenes...of which there were quite a few. So, it felt like they went from FWB to ILY pretty suddenly without really getting to know each other. There is a third act breakup. It occurs pretty early in the third act and takes up quite a bit of time in the book. How much time it takes up chronologically is less clear. I can understand why Fallon pulled away, all of her PTSD triggers were being pulled. I can't understand why they failed to get back together in one scene, but suddenly the next chapter, without anything changing suddenly they were back together. They never really addressed how Fallon could move forward being exposed to her PTSD triggers so frequently either.
