About this book
Number one in the entire Kindle Store.
A new paranormal romance from Wall Street Journal and USA Today best seller Jaymin Eve.
My father made a terrible mistake. One I’m left paying for.
As a wolf shifter growing up in a strong pack, I should be living my best life. But after my father tried to kill our leader, I’m labelled an outcast, traitor, less than dirt.
When I can't take pack life any longer, I run, but apparently they don't like losing their punching bag. Torin, the leader’s son, drags me back before my first shift...a shift that will reveal my true mate. I never could have predicted who mine would be, but the moment my wolf looks upon him, I’m filled with hope for a brighter future.
After all, no one ever rejects their true mate, right?
Wrong. Very wrong.
When the wolves attack, my soul screams for vengeance, and somehow I touch the shadow world. Somehow I bring him to our lands.
The Shadow Beast. Our shifter god. The devil himself.
Turns out being rejected by my mate was only the beginning.
If you like sexy, dark paranormal romances, with humor, steam, action, a tough heroine, and an antihero, this is for you.
Rejected is full-length (100,000 words), is book one in Shadow Beast Shifters series, and ends on a cliff-hanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations.

I finished this book in about three hours. The novel focuses on Mera, an isolated shifter who was out casted with her alcoholic mother due the past sins of her father. She is often bullied and abused with dreams of finding her true mate and leaving the town of Torma behind. I was expecting the same old shifter rejection story trope but what I got was something that absorbed all my attention and not let me put it down. However, like life, rejection often puts a damper on that specific dream, and...

I was really burned out on rejected shifter wolf-mate stories. Very worn out plots, mostly smutty, in and out type books. But I found this one to be exceptionally great. Loved the Dark Wolf God aspect. Very rich writing style, well-fleshed & deep characters, well-built imagery, biting humor, action, twisted plot! Loved the librarian! Loved the verbal sword play! The first book was so impressive, I bought and read the all 4 books of Shadow and Mera. Next I'll get the Simone and Samantha stories!...

I’m so happy I picked this up, I laughed out loud so many times I was riding a goofy-idiot-sandwich kind of grin and ROCKING it. This was a fabulous thing to sink my teeth into and NOTHING that I could have ever even imagined it being. There were so many details and characters and THINGS I could picture VIVIDLY and it was stunning bc it just made me fall in love with reading this more. I’m pretty sure the author was riffling around in my head deep inside the recesses of my “wildest dreams come...

I am utterly and completely bewitched by this book! It wasn't just amazing, it was a truly transcendent experience that soared far beyond my wildest expectations. My obsession with the rejected mate trope knows no bounds. Jaymin fed my craving but left me wanting more! At the heart of this obsession is the extraordinary protagonist, Mera. She is, without question, a fearlessly badass wolf, embodying an authenticity that is breathtaking. I am completely and irrevocably enamored with her spirit....
