Lets find out if there is more Monster Blood and what it does this time!

Chapter 1
|| Same characters again! And it makes sense that our boy Evan got himself some PTSD (I am just assuming this is a dream). Makes so much sense after everything he witnessed. Curious to see how all that will play out. Since the books I read so far from the Goosebumps series (The Blob that ate everyone, Welcome to Dead House, and Stay Out of the Basement) were all one-shots. At least I think so. So I really wonder if we get to see what the events in Monster Blood I did to Evans psyche. Or if that is something this book wont touch on. ||

Chapter 2
|| whoa poor Hamster ||

#

Chapter 6
|| urgh I had hoped that Evan would find some new friends in Atlanta after all the shit he experienced, but no, bullies again. Poor Evan.
And again the theme of "I made a huge mistake, now I have to live with the consequences". Losing this Hamster sounds so scary. idk it made me think of the times when I was holding a friends' baby and everything I could think about was "dont drop it dont drop it dont drop it"||

Chapter 7
|| you'll bleed like a boy is such a badass answer hahaha

nice coincidence that Andy moved to Atlanta, sure sure, but whatever, I'll take it. And good for Evan that he will have a friend again.||

#

Chapter 9
|| Andy is waaaaay too chill about this nonstop growing murderous glob ||

#

Chapter 12
|| what kind of steroid monster IS Conan???? Stuffing Evan into the basket? Is he like 5m tall? Lifting a 12 year old into a 2-3m high basket so that even the teacher can not get him down? Conan doesnt have the physique of a 32-year old, he has the physique of Thor I guess :D||

Finished!
|| the real horrors are bullying and PTBS I guess

but honestly, Conan was the real horror of this book. Though a massive hamster that wants to eat you sounds creepy, too.
The way everything was fine in the end because of an expiration date was kinda funny. Who produces this stuff?
And honestly, what is going on with Andy? With all the events of Book 1, and now the events of Book 2, why tf is she excited about a new can of Monster Blood?? Evan almost died, another guy was almost eaten in front of her eyes, and now that? Maybe dont be happy about that šŸ™ˆ

overall: I think I liked that, too. Extremely infuriating characters with Conan and Mr. Murphy, but (sadly) realistic for a lot of kids. ||

@vast geyser I finished Monster Blood II

#

Two ||Why is Evan just telling the whole class about monster blood lmao||

#

Three ||Seriously this kid is Z_Giggle you move to a new school, nobody knows you and you yap about monster blood like yeah okay thatā€˜s not the smartest move||

cosmic laurel
#

Six ||Conan needs to die a gruesome death but that's just me||

Fuck yeah Pauline agrees

#

Thirteen ||Why are we taking it out on Cuddles? Seriously the animal stuff is not cool at all, Iā€˜m getting annoyed||

#

Right?

#

||He's just existing||

cosmic laurel
#

Twenty six ||Very convenient that the expiry date is today||

#

||Why in the fuck would you just leave the blood there||

#

I finished, I’m ngl I was a bit annoyed with this book. I have a hamster so ||the idea of purposely making it gigantic just to get to somebody, who I agree is horrible btw, just pissed me off. I also don’t understand why Evan would tell the other kids about the blood but that’s just children things I guess.||

#

@vast geyser I finished ā€œMonster Blood IIā€

#

I didn't come into this in a bad mood I swear but it did sour ||because of the thing that they wanted to do to Cuddles. I know they're also just being kids but nah I'm irritated lol.||

Starting!

#

Chap 1
||I do like that some of the books bring back other characters instead of just being stand alones. What shenanigans will Trigger get into this time?||

#

Chap 2
||Oh, Evan. Monster blood is definitely not something I would be sharing to the class in a new school.
Oh yeah, I forgot that he was moving.
Also, that teacher sounds like a jerk. I don't think that's how you talk with kids.||

#

Chap 3
||Evan, why did you give into the goading from the bully? Ugh||

#

Chap 4
||Evan laying on verbal abuse to a hamster is...something.||

#

Chap 6
||Poor Evan. Losing Cuddles sounds so stressful. (Also, I feel like someone other than the teacher named him. Because that is just too cute for me to believe that man named him.
What is up with Conan? Damn. Can we not have a break from bullies?||

#

Chap 7
||I wasn't expecting Andy to come to Atlanta too. Love to see how things can be made to fit the story. And so Evan has a friend.
Andy is so real for telling Evan he shouldn't have said anything about the monster blood. Did she bring some monster blood along with her?||

#

Chap 9
||So, how are they going to get rid of it this time?||

#

Chap 12
||Wow. This teacher and Conan are absolute jerks. And to put him in the basket?! How?! Is he actually a giant?||

#

Chap 13
||WTF Andy?! Cuddles didn't do anything to deserve eating monster blood! Also, they have no idea just how big that hamster could get.||

#

Chap 18
||Cuddles is bigger...Did Andy sneak some to the hamster? 😭||

#

Chap 18 ||Cuddles
is bigger...Did Andy sneak
some to the hamster? 😭||

Entire book
||I find it interesting that so much de ail is spend on describing all of Andy's outfits. I know she is known for the bright colors, but not sure if this is needed or just an unnecessary detail.||

#

Chap 22
||Poor Cuddles. He doesn't deserve to be treated this way.||

#

Chap 24
||I'm kind of happy that Cuddles is terrorizing the teacher and Conan...
Also, eating the monster blood yourself? Doesn't seem like a great idea.||

#

Chap 26
||Theres an expiration date?!

  1. How convenient.
  2. How did they not see this the last time they were looking at the can over the summer?

Andy being gifted a new can of monster blood definitely opens this up for more adventures with them.||

#

Finished!
||Not sure why Andy is so thrilled with monster blood after all they have been through with the stuff. And to have more?!
Overall, I liked this well enough. But, the bullying from Conan and the teacher was rough. I also wasn't a fan of the animal cruelty against Cuddles. He didn't deserve that. Hopefully he is treated better now that he's Evan's.||
@vast geyser I have finished Monster Blood II

#

Reading this one next

#

Chap 1-7 || oh my Evan! Why did you bring the monster blood in school! After a growing dog and evil cat will it be a hamster next?

I hate bullies! Glad he got Andy in Atlanta. ||

#

|| The teacher is also suspicious||

wicked jewel
#

Finished!
|| Another fun and short read! I am enjoying Goosebumps books! Yess I know it's a bit too late for spooky szn but why not! The first one is more scary than this one maybe because I already know what it do. But I enjoyed this one too! I want to see what a hamster that looks like a rabbit looks! Lmao and the ending will definitely read the next one ||

#

Jumping right into this one now :D

#

Wow it really jumps right in

Ch 1: ||Clifford if it was a horror story||

thick blade
#

I actually finished this.

||I really didn't like this. I think it was a mix of the school setting and no one liking Evan AT ALL (this just feels really unrealistic). And I think Conan just really put me off. He is such a stereotypical school bully i just couldn't. it was too cringe for me. Also like the other monster blood book, the animals being in danger is really upsetting to me. At least the first one had a weird twist ending. This one just did not hit for me.||

Starting!!
ALSO the narrator for this audiobook is the same guy that reads for Brom (Krampus, The Child Thief, etc)

1- ||Trigger’s a (poorly trained) dog, dude. He only knows that it’s edible.
Pretty sure it’s a dream sequence tho.||

3- ||Ngl that daydream got me. But also dude. Telling everyone about Monster Blood? WHY?????

Conan’s only letting you punch him because a teacher’s looking that you haven’t seen yet. Yep.||

copper gull
#

6- ||This is the second or third GB book I’ve read where the bully makes the punching bag protagonist sing as a humiliation tactic, which is still a weird thing to do?||

Up to 12- ||ANDY!!!!!!

Conan’s gotta be one of the worst bullies in the series.

If you bury the monster blood, you run into the same problem that it can leech into the environment. And also bugs could eat it.||

#

12- ||…as much as a dick move as dunking Evan was, it is athletically impressive.

MONARCH BUTTERFLIES MY BELOVED

Okay but Cuddles is innocent in all this. Feeding him the blood is just cruel.||

#

||I know they’re gonna do it anyway because that’s the freakin cover but still||

copper gull
#

Finished! ||I thought there would be more Monster Blood Consumption than there was, and i think the ā€œfinding the expiration date at the last minuteā€ was cheap because wouldn’t they have seen one on the can in the first book when looking for the ingredients???||
