Wow. Just wow. Chevy’s Promise was an absolutely incredible addition to the Zoo Boys series, and Tatiana truly outdid herself with this one.
From book one, we’ve known Chevy as the founder and King of the Zoo. He’s been the rock, the father figure, the mentor—always pouring into Priest, Diamond, Foe, and Zu, making sure everyone else was taken care of. But in this book, we finally get to ask: Who’s taking care of Chevy?
Knowing that he’s battling cancer and planning to take one last journey to the fictitious place of Toussaint, this book becomes more than just a road trip—it’s a deeply emotional, introspective, and healing experience for both Chevy and the readers. Over the course of nearly a month, we get a front-row seat to his past, his fears, and the transformation of the boys he raised into men. It was everything I hoped for and more.
The emotional weight of this book hit hard, but it was also cathartic. For those of us who have been invested in this series, it felt like a necessary chapter, finally giving us a complete picture of Chevy. And let me just say—I love when I see an author’s growth throughout a series, and Tatiana’s evolution from book one to this installment is undeniable. The depth, the emotion, the storytelling—it’s all on another level.
And now, we wait for part two. Because after this, I need more.
