Paige used fantasy to survive reality.
Beans hid behind control, silence, and a darkness she couldn’t see.
This wasn’t just love… it was psychological warfare. Strategy. Survival.
Every move had consequences. And some emotional damage doesn’t go away when the game ends.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5/5

Zoo Ova Everything!!!
This book had me in my feelings. I was livid with Bobbie. How could you sit back and allow your child to be mistreated? I laughed when Z pulled up on Fionna. That's right Z, beat that hiffer ass about our man, Chevy. I cried for Braylen. The little boy that never experience love but the grown man finally experiencing love, peace, and happiness.
Tatiana, I'm not sure what's in Covana, but I'm down for the ride.
We don't fuck with you. We only fuck with the ZOO!!!

Scooter is my favorite character. His growth was the highlight of this series. I was patiently waiting for him to get the life he deserves. Him & Morgan are so cute together. That secret though 🙃
I’m happy Chevy talked to Braylen & made him realize he doesn’t have to go through life alone. I kind of like Braylen & Paige together.

Out of the “Next Gen” phase this has been the best book! The growth. One thing I truly admire is how Chevy loves and respects each zoo boy and how he’s proud of them all. Like his heart is full of love.
I enjoyed getting to know Scooter and Braylen on a deeper level.

This book was good and one thing my girl gonna do is have a bunch of characters and storylines so you have to keep up. I loved Beans and his character development but was pissed at what he’s been doing to Paige for years. Dio and Chevy are still my two forever faves!

Zoo Over Everything!!!!
I am so emotional. Tatiana did her thing on the book!!!!! I was on the edge of my seat as always. I can't stop crying because I am going to miss everyone. I know we have to grow, but they have become part of my family. I love the journey Tatiana took us through. Each of one of the Zoo crew shows me that no matter what, you can get through it. I learned to love that we all go through some of these things. I saw myself in some of her characters. Life has ups and downs, but no matter what you can find your way.
Thank you, Tatiana, for this journey. I look forward to our next steps in this journey.
I thought June pulled my emotions, but this book pulled another set of emotions. The growth of the Zoo and Chevy reflecting helped me realize that you can find love in friends and develop a family with them.
Love it !!!!!!!

zoo ova everything
Love the zoo series. Chevy and Z still king and queen of Zoo..This one was definitely emotional. Braylen he’s been through a lot I kind of knew something in the last serious because he was so close door for everybody is Saturday physical mental abuse plays a big part of a child’s life Makes them unfit to love and adulthood trauma is really deep. Emotionally happy Brayden is getting his peace He had to get rid of the his evil stepmother..I’m happy he found his peace and his love Paige. Chevy is definitely a great mentor for young men Who been through the same struggles as he have . With a strong woman that loves hard, they could overcome everything. I’m waiting for another chapter to see what Chevy is going to do with Clark his grandfather. He needs to go to so chevy can have his full peace that he’s need and deserves to continue his life and his legacy.

Zoo Over Everything!!
I’m not crying, you are! Okay, maybe I am! Tatiana Timmons did it again. I love how she takes each individual story and masterfully intertwines it with the rest. This was such an emotional journey with events I truly did not foresee occurring.
I wanted to love Braylen through the whole book, and I cheered for Scooter with every single page turn. I was shouting "Yasss girl!" to Morgan, ready to fight Fiona "Batman and Robin" style, and telling Paige to go get her man! Watching Dio show his grown-man status was so satisfying, but Chevy... Motha Fing Chevy... My man! My man!! (And a huge honorable mention to my boo, Bop!)
That is how many emotions this book took me through. Tatiana Timmons closed out this whole series in one beautiful book. Well done!

No words! WOW!!!
Tatiana you just keep getting better and better. This one had me in a choke hold! It was suspenseful, it was diabolical, it was emotional, it was deadly, it was sad at times,but in the end it all lead to a live so strong! Braylen and the Beast had to finally reconcile and find a way to exist in this story. Paige was the key. Chevy always the leader, king and voice! It was sad Keith lost his way and his life. Bobbie could no longer stand under the weight of his guilt. Naheem tried to destroy Bishop but in the end he ended up at The Zoo literally and that evil Fiona finally got all her karma. This was so emotional, I truly felt like I was part of this game. Excellent read! Can't wait for the next one!!!

As always Tati took us for a wild ride. I was so excited for Beans' story and I did not disappoint. Scooter slightly started to grow on me this go round. each release allows us to get additional insight into the characters. As always the trigger warnings are super helpful. We understand the root of why they are so unhinged at times. People saw Beans' upbringing and prejudge him without knowing all of the things that went on inside those mansion walls. I do enjoy the multiple POVs as well. It makes me happy to see so many of the HEA.

I really loved this book. It might honestly be one of my favorites from the Zoo series so far. Tatiana Timmons did her thing with this one. The story pulled me in and kept me hooked the whole time.
The ending got me a little emotional (yes, I shed a small tear), but in the best way. It wrapped up so nicely while still making me excited to see where she takes the characters and stories next. If you’re following the Zoo series, this one is definitely a must read. I’m already looking forward to what comes next.
Zoo over everything period 🧡

Growth & Respect
I’m proud of the orange and blue. Bop and Chevy being cool is what’s up. The next gen of zoo boys really out here making moves. Beans has so many layers and getting though all of them really made his story one of the most memorable. Now DIO everybody done been initiated except mars. What you waiting on. Also Fiona right up there with Chevy grand daddy. Can’t stand her. The unity in both sides. The next gen making their mark. Baby zoo over everything. Love this series down.

It has been a minute since I enjoyed a read like this. I'm talking feet kicking, smiling into my phone, and audible cheers good!
I am still getting used to the new additions but this was a great wrap up to the series.
Look fwd Street's story, what's next for The Prestige, The Blue & the Orange.
“Zoo ova everything!”
Can I say how much I liked the "press play" feature? Get out of my head, Tatiana!!

You never ever disappoint and I’m amazed and how SO many books later you still manage to remember and mention details that have been foreshadowed wayyy before. You really are an artist at what you do and I can’t thank you enough for sharing your gift!!

Hmm.. I know we’ve been touching a little bit on the fantasy side since Chevy & Za.. don’t get me wrong i love a little fantasy. Anywho, i love that one of the characters pretty much got a second chance. I love how the girls came together and things was squashed by the boys. Poor Navi, i really wish she gets her happy ending. Idk I really wanted someone else for Bop. Anywho next stop ..

My heart is so warm
This was so good! The layers to these characters is amazing, and even more so the only unwrapping of each one is like a Christmas present. Seriously I love Beans and his ending which is really his true beginning couldn’t have been written any better!!

Them Zoo Boyz
I love how they always stick together no matter what. ( Zoo Over Everything) they are all strong men and women that have gone through something in their lives but with true friendship and loyalty that have a bond that can't be broken and a Lock that can't be picked that turned into family

the game
What happens when reality gets blurred by fantasy and the rules of the game get more complicated to understand because the Dungeon Master has been changing them to his liking. The only way to win any level is by conquering the BEAST. Tatis pen game is always fire and I can’t wait to see what the new gen will do with the Zoo. ZOO OVA EVERYTHING 🧡

Wow!
Simply put there is no story teller like Tatiana! She is able to make you feel every emotion possible with each story she tell’s. I absolutely loved Braylen’s story. He endured pain no child should have to experience from the people who should have loved him the most. In the pages my heart hurt for him. I’m glad he got the ending he needed!

I'm a ZOO BABY‼️
I enjoyed this series so much. I want MORE!
Even with the 700 characters (that I still have to pause and think about who is who) I loved this whole series.
I hope there are more books and stories to tell. I can not thank the author enough for telling the story in an engaging way instead of dragging things out over 2-3 books unnecessarily. THANK YOU‼️
