含括第一手文字紀錄與及珍藏彩色圖像
從台灣出發，前進全球的動物保護現場，
踏上一段沒有終點的旅程，只為記住那些被遺忘的爪印
參訪歐洲各國的動保機構，遠赴日本的動權組織實習；
臥底探察北歐的皮草產業，深入中國的大熊貓棲息地；
從看似歡樂的動物園、馬戲團，到悲慘的養殖場與實驗中心，
儘管眼前充斥著不堪的醜惡，歷經同情疲勞的挫折，
她仍一路跌跌撞撞走來，最終勇敢而坦誠地記錄下這段歷程。
對動保陌生，或是剛剛接觸的讀者可將本書視為動保遊記，一本看似無心插柳，又像精心規劃的遊記。當然，好的遊記，也是一場生命思辨之旅，總是在白描之外──或是同時──又能讀到許多發人深省的思考，值得關心動保的人慢慢體會。──朱增宏／台灣動物社會研究會執行長
我曾經以為我大致了解緣之的生命歷程與運動參與。直到閱讀此書，才知道當中更多的曲折跌宕、更多的悲喜苦痛，以及因動物而來的生命刻痕與轉化。──李鑑慧／國立成功大學歷史學系教授
動保的種子當然是在更早之前播下的，但自2008年隻身遠赴北京求學開始，作者展開了一段在世界各地吸取養分、成長茁壯的動物保護之旅。
在這十餘年間，她曾調查中國的動物園，逐一記錄展演動物的處境，盡其所能為動物發聲、倡議；她曾前往歐洲考察，從英國、法國到荷蘭，參訪為數眾多的動物庇護所和收容所，深感不同文化下的觀念衝突，也不時對歐陸國家的動保現況感到失望；在日本動物權利中心實習時，除了每週參與遊行籌劃、街頭啟發活動外，她也透過田野調查見證這個已開發國家對農場動物的漠視。
為了獲得第一手資訊，她遠赴北歐諸國，臥底潛入皮草產業重鎮，終於在芬蘭的皮草拍賣行見識到這條神祕又完備的產業鏈，更在丹麥的水貂養殖場和挪威大學的實驗養殖場中，目睹處死動物以取得皮草的毒氣設備。當她造訪四川大熊貓棲息地時，浮上心頭的是對「物種歧視」現象的質疑──同樣身為熊科動物，黑熊為何遭到每日「活熊取膽」的痛苦，大熊貓卻得到全球的矚目？
最重要的問題在於，書中娓娓道出的動物遭遇並非過去式，而是進行式，甚至在可預見的未來仍會持續存在。在本書寫作的當下和被閱讀的此刻，那些動物甚至仍在原處，日復一日，年復一年，直到生命被消磨殆盡。
本書記錄的是動保界鮮有的書寫角度、動保人未曾傾訴的生命故事；是勇於剝開現代社會美好的皮相才能揭露的真相，也是長年累月站在第一線才能目睹的現實；作者十餘年來的心血所形成的結晶，不單是動物保護的經驗與理論，還有作為一位動物倡議者的成長軌跡。這是一部具備高度社會關懷、文化觀察與哲學省思的作品，更是一本旁觀動物之痛苦的我們必須閱讀、反思，然後有所作為的啟發之書。

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things.
It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic.
I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together.
I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray.
Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know.
PRO:
* Very likable characters
* Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well
* The spelling and grammar are good
* The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens.
CON:
* Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack
* Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done
* Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order
THINGS TO KNOW:
* More steamy scenes than storytelling
* A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons.
A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good.
B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy.
Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”??
Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer.
Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s
Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward.
Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud
Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.

A good read
Format: Kindle
A good read, just fluffy cuteness, no antagonism. I like all the characters. It could have used another round of editing however, glanfds being one error that cracked me up, and my personal pet peeve was that the author kept using the word fill instead of feel, which I promise you are not interchangeable haha, but it's definitely better than the majority of books I read on here mistake-wise.
