See all formats and editions

When the gods turn bad…

…reapers come out to play.

My name’s Autumn, and I was raised by a fanatical cult. I made a deal to be possessed by a god. I was tempted by forbidden whispers of eternal pleasure. Then a lethal but sexy-as-hell god broke me, stealing my magic.

Loki, God of Mischief.

Now, I’m the Infernal: a witch who reaps both gods and demons. I guard the Tree of Life in a forest, which is stalked by scorching-hot but dangerous monsters.

When a curse binds my greatest enemy, Loki, to me as a mate by his shifter spirit, it’s my turn to break a god. I’m seduced, however, by his beautiful mayhem. Then he spins a wild tale, and it turns out that everything I’ve known could be a lie.

Can I trust Loki and my other gorgeous rebel gods and demons?

Hades — My brooding Hellhound God of the Underworld who’s a giant of muscles, midnight black hair, and shadows

Ra — My Phoenix Sun God who’s tall, blond, and my loyal friend and lover

Kit — My Kitsune Fox Spirit with powerful magic and mesmerizing eyes, which I could lose myself in forever

Oni — My roguishly handsome Demon with a lady-killing smile who’s my first love and Soulmate

They’re the enemy, royalty, friend, bonded, and second chance. They’re also my obsession...and secret protectors.

When the gods are rebels, the demons are wicked, and the shifters are savage, it’s lucky that I love bad boys…

From USA Today Bestselling Author Rosemary A. Johns comes your next paranormal addiction! Rebel Gods is packed with magic, mythology, and soulmate romance, where the men know how to share!

Click and devour this sinfully sexy twist on the classic Loki, Hades, and Ra myths! COMPLETE SERIES.

A Beautifully Stunning Story!!!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

This was a very interesting story. I do love how there were so many different Gods mixed together. The only thing I wished was at times it felt like I was missing some information. Not enough for it to distract or turn me off though. I love Loki and his personality in this story. He adds so much mystery and intriguing aspects to the story. Autumn is an interesting character. She has strength and love. She has a huge heart that you can feel coming off her in waves. There may not be a huge amount of action in this book but it feels like a getting to know you a bit. There is a lot of mystery throughout the story and that does keep you glued and engaged throughout the story. This is most definitely a stunning story that is beautifully written.

God's playing with lives.

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

Autumn was raised by her sister, the leader of a fanatical coven of witches dedicated to the God Bacchus. Unfortunately, something goes terribly wrong with the planned sacrifice of Loki's power to the Bacchus. Instead Autumn loses her power to the God and is rewarded(?) with immortality as the Infernal guardian of the Tree of Life. After 1000 years Loki is her prisoner, but Autumn isn't sure she needs revenge.
Sexy, and unique characters trying to survive the games that the Gods are playing with their lives. Magic, action, some suspense, and plenty of twists in the plot that kept me reading from the first page to the last. Fantastic and utterly fascinating book.

Great book

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

Wow... I have read all of this authors books and loved them. But this book just left me amazed. To say this author is creative is an understatement. It was suspenseful, action packed, entertaining and grabbed you before you could finish chapter one.

And the gods, oh geeze this book was just fantastic. I wonder what all is in Mrs Johns head? Some things she writes about I would have never thought of. You get Gods, Rebels, Demons, Reapers and Shifters. Just to name a few. Autumn is the leading character. She is strong, sassy and can kick butt as well, if not better, than any of her mates. This is another universe this author so brilliantly brought to life in this book!! And believe me the steamy parts are off the chart hot!! Grab your book today!!

Spoof?

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is written like a spoof. The title seems to suggest this. Yet it is serious, of sorts. With all the Norse mythology thrown into the mix of melodramatic lines and reverse harem romance, it’s a wonder this works. Yet it keeps you reading with its convoluted world, backstory, some plot and mostly likeable characters. The chaos theme ties it together enough. The writing is very much narrated; more telling than showing.

As my first book by this author, I’m pretty bemused. It’s like a cosplay soap opera rolled into a book; ridiculous and serious at the same time.

Three bemused stars.

Bad Loki...

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

The destruction of the godly realms begins with a demon’s kiss.

"Do chaos moments look like shattered shards of glass to him? Can he hear the threads of Fate sing? Does he catch his own family eying him with fear like he’s about to transform them into beetles (and I only performed the If You Bug Me, Then I’ll Bug You Hex the one time…)?" - Autumn

Raised as a vessel for Bacchus, Autumn dreams of the day she unites with her God. But when Loki is selected as the sacrifice, all expectations are torn asunder and Autumn is shattered by the ritual. Shorn of her inborn magic, Autumn is gifted with immortality.... And a geas. Autumn is now the Guardian of the Tree of Life, and woe be tide anyone who comes between Autumn and her vengeance... Even the God Loki must beware. The Fates have plans for Autumn and her loves... oh, such plans!

Rosemary A. Johns creates another enthralling world, one filled with Gods, demons and immortals; yet her characters embrace human failings and face challenges before which even the Gods might quail.... And yet... And yet...

Mixed Lore For a Fun Read

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

I love that this world ties into her Rebel worlds but is a world unto itself. Autumn's guardians are all unique, and the bond she has with each of them is special. Loki is a special guy, and there is bad blood between the two. But sometimes, it's easier to work together against your enemies than it is to keep holding a grudge.

Johns is one of the few authors I forgive cliffhangers because her books are always high quality, incredibly well-written, with intense characters that you can relate to and feel a kinship with. I love that she's included Japanese, Greek, and Norse lore in writing this. She always weaves music into her stories, which makes them come to life. Overall, an enjoyable read. I'm looking forward to Bad Hades.

Amazing Beginning To A New Series

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

Bad Loki is Book 1 in the Rebel Gods series by Rosemary A Johns. Like all of the books I've read by Rosemary, this is just phenomenal. Her creativity, world building and character development are superb. Autumn, MFC, is strong, sarcastic, snarky, and can kick butt with the best. There are Gods, demons, reapers, witches, shifters, and more. If you are looking for a beautifully written, action packed, fast paced, page turning thrill ride of an adventure, then I recommend this book. I know you will not be sorry. As this is the first in series and has a cliffhanger ending, I am anxious for Book 2. Received an ARC and this is my voluntary review.

A Great Read

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2021

Verified Purchase

What an interesting start to a new series this is. Autumn was raised to become the vessel for Bacchus but when the time arrives Loki makes things go awry. She loses her magic and is placed in the realm with the Tree of Life to becomes its guardian in order to keep her as well as it safe. This is lonely at first but over time she gets more peeps to hang out with as well as fall in love with. The status quo changes though when Loki is caught a thousand years later and is given to her in order to make up for what he did. This definitely makes things interesting as they all try to figure out how to be around one another. Makes for a fantastic read filled with plenty of surprise firsts that I highly recommend. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars,

Pacey, well written book chock full of magical elements and surprises!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

I read this book in two sittings ( would have read it in one had I had more time).Autumn is a witch in the cult of the god Bacchus who allows Bacchus to possess her therefore allowing his rebirth, as a reward for this service all the witches in the cult are granted immortality and Autumn is given the role of Guardian of the Eternal Forest and the Tree Of Life there.Her other role is of a reaper of evil and dangerous demon and god souls, so that she maintains peace and balance in the forest, which is a meeting place of the godly realms. The veil is thinner there and worlds are portals to dangerous places, where souls of demons seek chaos and destruction.She has a powerful sister, who has been hunting the god Loki for over a thousand years, as it was Loki who almost managed to prevent Bacchus from rebirthing and Autumn lost most of her magic as a result.There are also Shadow Demons within the Eternal Forest who must be kept at bay.Autumn has many lovers amongst the gods, the handsome Oni , a demon with a great sense of humour, Ra, the sun god and Kit the Kitsune fox spirit, her good friend and loyal ally.
The book is pacey, well written with so many magical elements in it ( always good!) that I wanted to keep on reading and reading.
I bought the paperback as I like to actually hold a book rather than a Kindle. I buy a lot of books in this genre and this is really one of the good authors of it, you won’t be disappointed, that’s for sure.

An enjoyable first book in the series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 19, 2021

Verified Purchase

I struggled with the beginning of this, I mean who wants to see anyone as a sacrifice to a cult, so skipping ahead...

This is a paranormal RH book with witches, shifters, gods and demons. We have a strong FMC surrounded by mostly likeable characters, though being honest you like the ones you're supposed to hate too. Sexy Gods always a bonus! What I liked about the characters were that they were all flawed, some with past trauma and baggage it made them more relatable.

There was plenty of action here, lots of snark all the things to keep you interested, wondering what will happen on book 2.

An enjoyable read

This was a bit different, some norse mythology mixed with Greek and even Japanese. It's a story of dysfunctional families and love found in strange places.
