Rejected by Jaymin Eve

This is going to be a long one. I will be ranting & raving about this series! I am one book from finishing, and I don't know how I feel about it yet! Meaning, I hate thinking about a series ending. Thankfully there are standalones in this universe. 

(Insert wicked grin)

My Rate: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Spice Rate: 🌶 (There is a slight spice scene! Slow burn baby!)

Synopsis - 

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.

Afterall, 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.

Are y'all still with me? This beauty ↑ is amazing, but I thought I would add the 

old covers just so you can see. I love a good makeover! ↓

Now, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, what I thought of this series.

My Review: 

I have to get this review out right now before I dive headfirst into book two, because I already know once I start, I won’t be able to stop, and I don’t want to mix up my thoughts!

But damn. This book was everything!

Let’s start with the FMC, because wow. I live for a fierce, sharp-tongued heroine who refuses to back down, and this one owned every single page she was on. Her attitude, her strength, that fire in her, it was perfection. I’ll admit, I’ve never really been a fan of wolf shifter romances. They usually feel repetitive to me (don’t come for me!). But this? This book completely changed my mind.

What hooked me was the world-building. It wasn’t your typical one-pack, one-alpha setup. Instead, it felt epic and layered—multiple worlds, gods playing twisted games, divine vengeance shaping destinies. The lore, the myths, the creatures, everything was so rich and imaginative that I couldn’t get enough. I wanted to stay in this world forever, just exploring all the strange realms and their secrets.

And the characters, my god, the characters. Every single one of them jumped off the page with so much personality and life. Jaymin has this incredible gift for crafting characters who each feel distinct and memorable, like an all-star cast that you can’t help but get emotionally attached to.

I also listened to the audiobook, and it was phenomenal. The narration brought another layer of intensity and emotion to the story, making the whole experience even more addictive.

Honestly, I could keep raving, but book two is sitting right here staring at me, and I need to know what happens next. If you’re on the fence about shifter romances, or you think you’ve read them all before, trust me, you haven’t read one like this.

Now excuse me while I disappear into book two!

Here are some of favorite lines from the book:

The dedication. I don't know what it is now a days, but the dedications have gotten a lot more reader centered and spicy and I love it. Rejected's dedication from Jaymin was no different.

"To anyone who dreamed of being kidnapped by the devil. Because we're fucked-up like that.

Embrace your darkness."

Yeah, that's it. I thought I tagged more but I think book two got all of them. I forget that people love seeing and hearing what quotes you love from books. And I try, I really do but I get swept up into the story and forget! 

Rejected book 1 in the Shadow Beast Shifter series is re-releasing on December 2nd and I do really hope you go and snag you a copy because the new released paperback has the prettiest sprayed edges. Plus, this is a series that is going to be a new favorite for the longest time ever.
