Blog postI loved my original covers but let me tell you, the new covers I just had made for the Forty Proof series are seriously epic and I can’t wait to share them with you! They’re pretty fantastic, right? And even better, I have the blurb for book 2. I’m rapidly working on the blurb for book 3 too but I don’t have that one for you just yet. You can pre-order book 3 already though and I promise you, it’s going to be amazing!

Blog postTrue story, but I have some of the most loyal readers in the book world. No, really, I do. And it’s not because they all leave me five-star reviews (they don’t, I have ARC members who’ve left me two-star reviews) and it’s not because they message me constantly to tell me how wonderful my books are….its simpler than that.
They trust me to bring them a book they want to read every time I release something new. Let me explain. When I wrote the Rylee Adamson Series, it took off like3 years ago Read more -

Blog postI must say that Halloween and Christmas were my two most favorite holidays as a kid, and not much has changed with that as an adult. I love the spook and scare of Halloween (not to mention my own experiences with the supernatural!), I love the anticipation of a thrill, and the way my heart pounds as I walk through a dark wood. In the spirit of all that, I wanted to do a little something to help get you in the mood for Halloween!

You Don’t Choose The Academy. The Academy Chooses You.
"This book is Harry Potter meets the Hunger Games in a bold twist on a classic magical young adult adventure."
Jaymin Eve, Bestselling Author of Supernatural Academy
I’ve made it through the Culling Trials, the test that proved my mettle against every possible challenge.
I assumed that meant things would settle down and I’d start truly learning.
No more danger.
No more death threats.
No more wondering who was out to get me.
Apparently, that was not to be.
I am what this supernatural world calls a Chameleon—a rarity even amongst all these monsters. And rare things are coveted and feared by the most powerful of all—The House Of Wonder.
It’s a good thing I have my crew at my back, because this Academy?
It’s about to get seriously ugly.
Which means this farm girl is ready to play by only one set of rules.
Her own.
The Shadowspell Academy Books all end on a cliff-hanger with the exception of Book 3 and Book 6

Over the hill, all outta ducks to give, and suddenly life is looking up . . .even if you're living with a ghost and fighting off werewolves.
Moving back to Savannah changed my life in all the best ways. New job. New friends. As far from my ex-husband as possible.
I didn’t count on the Shadow World intensifying its hold on my life.
Color me surprised, when a new job lands in my lap watching over a fairy ring. Worth ten times what I’d make anywhere else, it seems too good to be true. I take it anyway.
And that’s when things get weird.
Spells are cast on my friends that seems to make them lose their marbles.
I’ve got a Bigfoot baking in my kitchen.
And a skeleton is quickly becoming my go-to guy. Which is silly because the eye candy strutting around in front of me is drool worthy. (I’m looking at you, Crash. Really looking 0_0)
Nothing in Savannah is what it seems, and the magic and undercurrents of this city are pulling me onto a dangerous path.
But with a Fae Queen begging my help, and the darkness closing in, I can only do one thing.
Pop a couple Advil, and kick some serious ducking butt.

Orphaned. Trained to fight. Raised to fear the power of Underhill. Secretly in love with a man who doesn’t want me.
I’m still just Alli, aka the half-human orphan fae, but my life is looking up for the first time. It only took me my whole 24 years.
But when Underhill—the ancestral home of the fae—shatters, making it impossible for any fae to enter, I’m the only one who knows who did it.
A secret that will be the death of me if I do nothing.
A brutal madness spreads through the fae as they lose their connection to Underhill, and to save my people, my only choice is to leave all I have fought for and go on the run.
Unless I figure out how the hell magic that has existed since the dawn of time was destroyed with a single touch, well, an entire life spent fighting to prove myself isn’t going to mean anything at all.
I must find the answer to the riddle of Underhill’s shattering.
Hunted by the very man I loved once upon a time.
If you love Jennifer L. Armentrout, Sarah J. Mass, Holly Black or Elise Kova, you will love this dive into a world of the fae, forbidden love, and a story that will leave you breathless for more.

As the boogeyman to the underworld, Nix isn't afraid of dying.
Yet this time, it's not about dying. It's about escaping with her mind intact.
I thought I'd finally stepped away from the madness of the underworld, away from the Abnormals, away from all those who would do me and those I love harm.
The world though had different plans.
And now I'm trapped, not only physically, but inside my head.
Those who have me caged say none of it was real.
That I'm not a highly trained assassin of Abnormals.
That I have no family. My children do not exist.
That there is nothing supernatural about this world.
If they are right, then I've been crazy all along. I've been stuck inside of my head all these years, living a fantasy.
If they are right I am not the legendary Phoenix.
If they are wrong . . .then that means there is a new game afoot.
Then there will be hell to pay and the fires that burn within me will consume them all.
If you like KF Breene, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Faith Hunter, Jaymin Eve, Kelley Armstrong, Kim Harrison, or Shayne Silvers, you won’t want to miss Mayer’s books and her kick butt heroines!

To save my son, I would give up my soul. To survive this journey and stop those who face us I may have to do just that.
My son is waiting for me to bring him home, to rescue him from the horrors he’s faced on his own. I won’t take the chance I will find him only to fail him again. Which means I must unearth a way to kill his captor, a man who is immortal. A man who made a deal with the devil to attain his power. As it stands there is only one way to end that monster’s life. A way that is far from simple.
With a pair of guns strapped to my hips, and an ally at my side, I will finally face down the evil that created me, crossing the world to do so.
I can feel death stalking us, waiting for us to slip up. But I am no stranger to death, and I will face him too if I must to save my boy.
To bring him home.

"I knew the sins of my past would call to collect what was left of my soul. If I’d known the price I’d pay, I would’ve sacrificed more to stay hidden from the magic."
In the middle of Wyoming—away from the abnormals of the world—I thought I was free and clear. I started a new life. Found a love I’d never known in a husband, and a son who was my everything.
And in a blinding instant, that life was stolen from me.
The rage of a grieving mother is an ugly beast. More so when she has the skills and killer instinct to back up the wrath and the knowledge that an accident was anything but.
Once more, I will pick up my guns. This time to hunt those who took my husband’s and son’s lives.
Let them see the assassin, trained to kill abnormals, stalk the shadows again.
Let them see the Phoenix rise from the fragments of a broken life as she burns with a fury that cannot be contained.
Let the killing games begin.

I thought that going after those who’d destroyed my life would help me move on. At the very least, that it would ease the thirst for vengeance singing in my blood. I was wrong.
With my guns at my side, I continue to search for ways to punish the one man who took everything from me. The man who killed my family. Death is far too good for him.
I want to make him suffer, to take from him everything he loves.
To that end, I need a code breaker, one who deals in magical glyphs. But in the hunt for her, I discover there are far more secrets to my life, and my blood, than I ever could have imagined.
Secrets that are burning their way out of the past and the shadows.
A promise dangled in front of me by the enemy of my enemy is too sweet to ignore. And I will cast all my cards on the table for the one chance that the promise he offers is true.
That my son is alive.
God help those who stand between my boy and me.
