Shel, a supernatural version of Mary Shelley, and her monster-rescuing crew are back in the highly anticipated second book of the Mary Shelley's School for Monsters series.
Mary Shelley's School for Monsters: The Killing Stone is a thrilling adventure that ends in letting go of monster-sized grudges. The most dreaded yokai in Japan?Tamamo-no-mae, the nine-tailed kitsune?has been freed from the Killing Stone. Unfortunately for Shel and Frank, they were the ones who accidentally trapped her there in the first place. The school's newest student, Nari, is an Onryo, and her grudge magic may be the key to diffusing the kitsune's rage against Shel. As they navigate this perilous situation, Shel must also confront her own deep-seated grudge. If she can't let go of her pain and anger, it could spell disaster for everyone.
