PARANORMAL KEEPERS
Amazon | Barnes and Noble
Everyone thinks Harper Young killed her boyfriend. No one will say it to her face, but the signs are everywhere.
It’s almost been a year since Gavin was torn from Harper’s arms and brutally murdered. The police wrote it off as a freak accident, deciding Harper’s strange testimony was given under duress. But she knows something unnatural was involved and refuses to stop looking until she finds his killer, even if it means her reputation as a senior is ruined. Even if it means there really are monsters living among us.
With the discovery of the mothmen, witches, vampires and all the creatures she always suspected were out there, Harper finds herself amidst a complex bundle of unseen heroes who call themselves "Keepers", sworn to keep the secret of the paranormal creatures that walk this earth. As she tries to understand what’s so special about her that she’s able to break an old Keeper law, Harper has a baffling vision of kissing a mysterious guy before a blade is brought down on him. Before she can get a handle on her future, she becomes central to a battle between the questionable “heroes” and the evil she’s been training to fight, leaving her to wonder if there’s any way to change the fate that has been foretold before it’s too late.

Although life has been pretty good to Keyanna Sanders, the day she turns eighteen she’s about to get everything she could ever wish for—a hot guy who’s really into her, a sporty car she’s always dreamed of owning, and the party of a lifetime that no one will forget any time soon.
But before long, she’ll understand these wishes are more than a coincidence, and that they come at a steep price. Keyanna is more than just an average high school senior, her best friend is more than the innocent boy next door, and her sudden good fortune isn’t just by chance. When her estranged father suddenly re-enters her life, she’ll have to decide who to trust, and whether or not the man she loves has become the enemy.
PRAISE FOR MIND STATIC
"Naumann taps right into the teen POV with the right amount of humor, pop culture, love and drama. Add an element of newfound supernatural power and the MC, Keyanna, is a character you will care about and will root for.
Mind Static is a great YA read full of twists and turns and characters who aren't all they may appear to be."
"Mind Static will be a great addition to your book collection! Super twisty and suspenseful with a sweet teen romance, Mind Static delivers!"
CHEATING DEATH
Lysandra Brooks remembers everything about the day she almost drowned alongside her grandma, especially the set of mysterious eyes she saw at the bottom of the lake. Ever since then, she's been seeing strange things when she is near water - things that aren't really there. Because of it, Lysandra has the tendency to avoid anything that isn't on dry land. On her last day of high school, however, the biggest party of the year is set to take place at a fellow senior's lakeside mansion. Despite her fears, Lysandra decides to prove to her friends and herself that she can handle it.
But after a horrific night of drinking and drama that leaves Lysandra feeling lonely and confused, she nearly drowns for a second time, only to be saved by the new guy in town. From that moment on, Lysandra's world is turned upside down with the discovery of mind blowing secrets, including a revelation that something sinister is after her soul.
PRAISE FOR CHEATING DEATH
"Spooky, Unique, Emotional, Bittersweet"
"This book had my emotions all over the place. But at the turning of the last page the overwhelming feeling was bittersweet. This was a YA book with a heroine that acts like a real teenager, unlike the teenagers in many YA books that have the emotional intelligence of a forty year old."
"I thought I knew where the story was going so many times and was shocked each time I was wrong. This story has its supernatural elements, but above all it is a story about a young girl dealing with difficult circumstances and growing from them. The end is bittersweet. I was hoping for something different, but I also like to be surprised. And I was definitely surprised."
"The beginning of this book sucked me in with a creepy hook, but it was the ending that made me love it. This is a very different story from the usual YA's I like to read. It's about something deeper and more real than what paranormal romances tend to deal with."
"There seems to be a formula that paranormal themed books follow these days. Basically it comes out as human girl meets supernatural boy and against all odds they find a way to be together regardless of the consequences, even if that means the human girl has to give up everything in her life including friends, family and even her very humanity. Naumann completely breaks free of this trend and puts out a very different message with Cheating Death. She looks at how selfish these choices can be and how they affect all of the people in Lysandra's life. This may be a paranormal book, but at its core it's about something very real. This book isn't about the undying love a girl has for a boy; it's about life and the choices we make."
SHYMERS
Amazon | Barnes and Noble | iBooks | Kobo
Although everything seems backwards and hopeless in this new world, Olive makes a few new friends and develops her first crush on a handsome boy. But even then, things aren’t as easy as they should be. She finds herself caught up in a whirlwind of hatred, sadness and lies that spins out of control, forcing her to choose between what her heart wants and what she knows is right.
PRAISE FOR SHYMERS
"Amazing!!! Jen does it again, bringing us another story we could not put down from the minute we started to read it."
"The booming romance between Olive and Harrison will surely make your heart melt, and make you fall head over heels in love with Harrison. This is beautiful story that will keep you on the edge of your seat and also maybe shed a couple of tears."
"Jen Naumann has a way of capturing the reader at the very beginning and holding throughout the book. The mystery behind Olive's life, family, and past is what kept me turning page after page. The dystopian storyline is not overwhelming. It's very believable. Descriptions of places and people really make you feel like you can see it. I would love to see this one turned into a movie script. It is worthy of it."
"For anyone who had read The Hunger Games or Divergent series books, this is equally as enjoyable."
"Simply said, this is an amazing book. Intriguing characters, a lot of suspense, and very well written. It was hard to put it down. But while I can say that about many books I have read, this book is so different from others. The concept of a society being divided based on when they will die is a haunting thought. Every time I set the book down, I kept wondering if this could be in our future. This book has a bit of everything: adventure, romance, and suspense."
But now she would do pretty much anything to go back to that boring life.
Emma's life is turned upside down after a night of senior pranks by the discovery of a real, live (better make that dead) zombie in her own backyard. In a breakneck journey across the rural Midwest, Emma will recruit a minivan full of teenage misfits while trying to survive, and uncover the secrets behind this zombie invasion. She’ll discover the true identity of Finn’s mother, the dark conspiracy that has infiltrated the U.S. Army, and maybe even realize the person she has been waiting to save her was right by her side the whole time.
As it turns out, life in a boring little town hadn’t been such a bad thing, after all.
PRAISE FOR THE DAY ZOMBIES RUINED MY PERFECTLY BORING LIFE
"This was not quite what I was expecting. Amusing, shocking, and delightful, just begin to discribe this book. From the moment Emma first sees the zombie in her backyard to the end when some of the answers are given, the book races through twists and turns without ever slowing down."
"This is a really unique and interesting story to read. I loved the main character in this book, which is Emma Ferdig, who is smart, funny and sarcastic. I loved the author, Jen Naumann's, writing style. It was like watching a movie while the character voiced over what was happening."
"I don't think I've ever read a book about zombies before--they always seemed far fetched. But the story is so engaging and exciting that I'm secretly hoping I see a zombie come from the trees behind my house just as Emma saw the first zombie come from her woods. Emma is such a great character. She tells it like it is. The story has wonderful twists and turns, always leaving you wondering what will happen on the next page."
THE TIME ZOMBIES BECAME THE LEAST OF MY WORRIES
Amazon | Barnes and Noble
Ever since the zombie virus hit Emma’s irritatingly boring Midwestern hometown, she’s been on the run with her old best friend-turned-boyfriend Finn. On their journey, they’ve witnessed some pretty disgusting deaths, narrowly escaped life-threatening escapades that sometimes included one of their own pulling a gun on them numerous times, and redefined the definition of what makes up a family (as it turns out, soldiers and geeks can be pretty decent). They’ve even learned the disturbing truth behind the mysterious virus. But after Emma was bit by one of the infected trying to save her neighbor boy, she was told she would not have long to live.
In the thrilling sequel to The Day Zombies Ruined My Perfectly Boring Life, Finn will help to tell the story as Emma and the gang are faced with the most crucial life-changing decisions yet. They’ll come across an unfortunate group of rednecks, discover the truth of what happened to Finn’s federal agent mother, and finally see a chance at truly being safe without having to run anymore. But in the middle of it all, Emma and Finn’s relationship will soar to completely uncomfortable levels when Finn takes things one step too far. And between being injected with an unknown liquid, taking on a completely unexpected (and really agitating alliance), and being left for dead by those she loves most, Emma will realize that zombies are the least of her worries.
PRAISE FOR THE TIME ZOMBIES BECAME THE LEAST OF MY WORRIES
"The Time Zombies Became the Least of my Worries is a breeze to read. Witty and tons of fun, I dare anyone not to speed through it in a few hours. One of the best elements this book has going for it is the motley mix of young characters. The theme “Goonies Never Say Die” was in my mind throughout."

PRAISE FOR WHAT I'VE DONE
"I literally devoured this book in one sitting!! I was enraptured with the characters,there were times that I literally cried and then my heart was full of joy for Lily. Lily's love and perseverance for her sister was heartbreaking and very heartwarming."
