Zane: Were-Zoo Book One Review

-

 

My Initial Thoughts

This book has been in my Kindle library for quite some time. Truthfully, I don't remember when it arrived. My aunt and I share libraries, so we can read each other's books. What initially brought me to this book was that it was a paranormal romance and it started with a "Z", which was perfect for my reading challenge. My aunt has read books from R.E. Butler before and said that they were a good author. She reads more than I do, and at a faster rate. She's finished the challenge before the end of the year already, whereas I am falling behind. 
So, I started this book around May 13th, and ended up finishing it in September 11... I know... I take forever. 

About the book

Zane is a gorilla shifter that lives in a zoo called "Amazing Adventures Safari Park" and each of the animals and staff are shifters that have been living in secret from humans. His life starts to get mundane and boring and his primary objective is to find a mate. 
Adriana and her best friend, Celeste, both recieve an invitation and free tickets to a "VIP tour" of the zoo. As they go to it, they get seperated and Adriana is attacked by her tour guide. Her hero is a gorilla and soon she learns about shifters and her soulmate. 

My Goodreads review

This book surprised me when I first read it. It was only 10 chapters, but my aunt and I agreed that it would still count towards my reading challenge. I rated this book 3 stars. I admit that my rating is a little harsh (at least to my brain it is...), but I normally steer clear of short stories like this. The reason for that is because I like world building and plot, which I admit, this book had a good one. I was pleasantly surprised by it because I was expecting it to be nothing but smut and spicy scenes. There was a full story within those 10 chapters and I was glad that I read it. The series is a long series, which is great for those that are going to continue to read the series. I may or may not pick up the rest, only time will tell. (I most likely will!)

My final thoughts

While short, I enjoyed this book. I only rated it 3 stars because I wanted more chapters. Since there are more books in the Were-Zoo series, I feel that perhaps my 3 stars is too low. It was a nice adventure and I loved the ending. It was BEYOND satisfying. If you require a quick read, I would recommend this.

Peaceful Days-A new cute, cozy game!

  A little information For many cozy fans, Stardew Valley is everything...but what if I were to tell you that there is a brand-new cozy game that is, in my opinion, much more darling? Peaceful Days is a new farming sim game that was released on November 6th, 2025. This game has been in development for 6 years prior, and it has finally reached launch and patch 1.0. I don't have much time in it currently, due to the 2v8 game mode coming back to Dead by Daylight, but this game has had me hooked since I tested out the demo. The developer is Nhat Nguyen, and they are quite remarkable. They are a solo developer who is going through some medical issues and wants to use this adorable game to help treat their kidney disease. I think that this game is something truly special. So much love and hard work have gone into this game.  Store Page Here is the store page on Steam. As you can see, there are many things in the game to offer. It feels very reminiscent of various farming sims, but w...

Life Update 3

   This update is a small one. There hasn't been anything too exciting to upload. On 10/22, I had an appointment with my rheumatologist, and so I spent the day with my family down in Edmond. I had a blast with them. We started the day with my aunt's appointment, and so while they were in the doctor's office, I was out in the car watching Chopped on my phone. It was relaxing. My cousin was asleep, it was quiet, and the windows were down during a nice breeze. While watching it, I was working on my embroidery project for my boyfriend's birthday gift (Finished product will be uploaded once I'm done!!).  After at least three episodes, they finally come out of the building and back into the car. We had some time to kill, and we went to a cute little store that is like Dollar Tree and Five Below had a baby. We went into Daiso, and I loved seeing my aunt's reactions to the store. I got a new embroidery hoop at the store, and it was a good time. Then we had to drive to m...

A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon Review

  My Initial Thoughts I first saw this book at Half Price Bookstore in OKC and hesitated on buying it. The cover initially didn't look promising. Growing up, we are taught to " Never judge a book by its cover ," but as readers, is it not one of the first things we do to determine if we want to check the synopsis? Now, as I have said, I originally slept on this book. Somewhere in May, specifically on May 11th , my best friend and I went to the library to find a book (or in my case...books...) to read. As I was browsing the app, I ended up typing the book into the search since I couldn't get it out of my mind for some reason. I was overjoyed when the library had it. I ended up checking it out with at least five other books. I ended up DNFing those other books, due to overwhelming myself... I started reading A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon immediately. I was hooked on the first page. I could not put down the book. When I tell you that this book had me laugh...
