The Beast Keepers is the story of Jonathan F. St. Roche, a young veterinarian who takes a job in the rural Ohio town of Carrollton. He soon discovers it is a safe haven for a menagerie of mythical creatures (including a pregnant pegasus, a flying monkey with a sprained wing, a centaur with Cushing’s disease, and a unicorn with a sweet tooth) who rely on him for their medical care and shelter from the outside world. When a deadly basilisk threatens the town, Jonathan and his new friends must balance the dangerous creature’s needs against the risk to the community. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves gentle fantasy with real emotional stakes, especially readers who enjoy animal stories, cozy rural settings, and small-town friendships. It is also a great pick for people who want fantasy that feels new but still comforting. -Literary Titan, 5-Star Review
