Rebel Angels #4

Vampire Mage

Rate this book

In the supernatural war of angels vs vampires, magic is a savage prince.

Nothing could’ve prepared Violet for initiation into the Legion of the Phoenix. Perilous. Nightmarish. Deadly. If the training doesn’t kill her, the sly hot shifter probably will for not saving their world from the fanatical cult leader. The lone female apprentice mage, Violet is trapped in the Brotherhood with an army of angels brainwashed to annihilate vampires.

When three wishes offer her deepest desires, she’d should’ve known better than to trust them. Even if she lives through the hellish magic Initiation alongside the harem boy angel, she still must face the vicious Mage Challenge. If she doesn’t, the seductive vampire geek she loves will be kept forever as their pet, whilst her snarky angel lover will be executed, only to be resurrected as a slave.

Violet must fight beside her monstrous half-brother, the prince, who hungers to force the world to kneel…or battle against him to become a hero to those she loves. Either way, dangerous magic is unfurling inside her, and new realms are about to open that threaten them all…

Fans of Buffy and Lucifer are sure to devour Vampire Mage, the spellbinding fourth book in the addictive series REBEL ANGELS by USA Today bestselling author Rosemary A Johns.

Life is never easy for Violet (the MFC). Shes been kidnapped by both her dysfunctional parents & now shes been taken by a wicked mage Rahab. Who wants to recruit her & make her into a Lazarus mage that he can control. He will use any means necessary including use her fam - Rebel, Ash and anyone else she cares for. If youve read any of these books in this series then youll know what a kick-ass, wise cracking character Violet is & how much she cares for her fam. Which are a group of funny & hot guys. The book doesnt disappoint the same as the others previously. Loved this one just as much as those. Great series

You'd think kicking butt and taking names in heaven and hell would be enough, but no. Violet and her fam must also suffer the whims of a great mage. Secrets are revealed and new adventures are to be had. Love this series!

This series is addicting and once you jump on the Rebel Angels train, you are in for an amazing ride. You will have book after book of an award winning author, taking your imagination to the limits. And once you are in, you are hooked. This is book #4 in the Rebel Angels series. And this book just pulled ahead as my favorite so far. I always loved Violet, she is one kick ass Vampire/Angel. She will not back down if you go against her or her family.... She will fight to the end to stop you. In this book Violet has such severe training, it takes everything she has to complete it. Then she has to deal with angels who are brainwashed to kill vampires. She is in really bad situation. This mage is one of the most vicious characters in this series. She has to face the challenge to save her harem boy and her vampire geek. Dangerous magic is coming, secrets are revealed. This is a series that keeps your mind running. It has the most amazing characters and jaw dropping story lines. And is very well written. This book is full of action and keeps you turning pages as fast as you can. If you want a book that will keep you jumping up and down. And keep your mind and imagination going, even after you click the last page.... This book is for you!!!!!! Rosemary A Johns is an author that knows what readers want. And she has built this amazing series. That never fails to blow your mind!! So grab your book and join the Rebels on an action packed, edge of you seat, slow burning read. One you won't forget !!!

As always, I would be remiss if I didn't point out how stunning this cover is. Rosemary never fails to deliver a beautiful cover, which is just a slight indication of how great the book is that you're about to read.

Violet is now about to join the legion, she must do so if she wants to keep her family together. She must do so because she wants to meet the half-brother she never knew she had. The brothers in the Legion have been raised to believe that all vampires were to be taken down, which doesn't sit well with our half angel, half vampire Violet. But, falling prey to Rahab's whims, she is sent on the Mage quest, something no one before her has ever achieved. The more she tries to save her family, the harder Rahab makes it for her.

But Violet may not be able to save everyone and she may lose a lot of herself in the process.

I love where Rosemary has taken the direction of this series. I love how strong and fierce Violet is, but she makes mistakes, a lot of them. But everything she does is to keep her makeshift family together and safe. This is such a fantastical world, everything from the characters to the scenery is vividly explored. Another home-run in the Rebel Angels series.

Book number 4 finds our angel/vampire hybrid heroine fighting for the lives of her harem boy and vampire geek. Two members of her chosen family! If anyone thinks they have an evil family…take note and read these books you will discover the true meaning of evil villains and family! She is up against her half-brother and a new evil named the mage. She has to endure even more training to hope to defeat her enemies to save her loved ones. Just when you think you have it figured out…another surprise comes along. Can our heroine survive the heartless and inhumane training? You betcha! She is one hot, hypnotic, loving, bada$$ hybrid who will survive at all costs. She will take on ANYONE or ANYTHING to save those of her chosen family. More secrets arise, more challenges, and more suspense! You will find yourself yelling out loud, rooting for the heroes, and laughing at the snark! She is a sexy siren and a temptress. She will not let you down! Rosemary Johns once again captivates her audience with this series! Violet is a character we can all relate too and want to be! If you have not read this series you will want to pick up these books and not miss the reads of the century! Just when you think the last book was the best…you will read the next one and become enamored once again! I received this book for free and am voluntarily leaving a review. What is next?

I am yet again blown away! This series is full of action, snark, love.... realness. Realness in the way of love and emotions. In what we'd do for our family regardless of betrayal and lies.
Violet finds herself in a more twisted place than either Angel world or Hell. Mage Drake is a twisted being! Cruel, yet loving? And yet again through the torture of Violet and her family, she rises to the challenge of bring world and beings together to kick bad guy a$$!
Each book has had such epic battles, trials, and emotions but I swear that this is my FAVORITE book in the bunch... I think I said that last time too though 😀 In no way can someone read ANY of this series and not be drawn in! Absolutely amazing!!!!
I did receive an ARC of this book and am reviewing it on my own and because I review every book I read.

I really enjoyed reading this book. This is the fourth edition in the Rebel Angels series, and there is plenty of action combined with snarkiness throughout the pages of this book. Like the other books in this series, a sleek combination of darkness with wisps of light drives Violet and her fam of supernaturals closer to the end- or maybe it's just a matter of striving to survive. If you are a fan of dark fantasy novels, you will enjoy reading this series.

Vampire Mage

Another great book that is the fourth book in the Rebel Angels series, the tension and the intrigue in this one are pretty high and the drama is out of left field at times

Overall a great read from start to end

ONE EXTREMELY INTENSE READ!!!
OMG! Talk about knocking your socks off. All the drama, uncertainty, determination, fear, deceit, danger and suspense increases steadily while tension spirials make for one thrilling experience. Rosemary doesn't mess around. No pulling punches, no holds barred, taking no prisoner is her go to response. Twists and turns abound with unexpected circumstances and unpredictable surprises that leave no doubt she's up to any challenge. The characters and scenes are written with such realism it really pulls this little jewel together beautifully. They're complex and believable with such depth and individually it's easy to relate. The scenes are so graphically detailed and descriptive it's easy to picture each scenario as they play off one another in perfect balance. Rosemary did an amazing job bringing this read to life brilliantly. Remarkable job Rosemary, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.

I keep saying each book gets better, well it's no different with this one, book four. In this one Violet meets her brother, and goes thru more trials than one ever should have to. As usual she has her Fam to guard her back. So what do you do when you meet your brother, or his "father"?
I can't wait for the 5 th book!

I seriously love Rosemary Johns. Her work is different from any other author I've read and I've read a lot. One thing that I love about this series is from book one, Violet, the main character has been adamant about her family. Not her birth family but her chosen family. I can relate to that and it helps me understand her position against so-called blood family members that she has to face. She realizes that who they are, does not define who she is. She knows that and I love that about the main character. This was another book of Rosemary's that I could not put down and I barely used a bookmark because I raced through it. Cannot wait for the next book!

Wow, when I read Mrs. Johns first book I had never really heard of her but she really hooked me with that first book and with every new book in this series I have fallen in love with her stories. And I can't wait to keep reading her books, thank you so much Mrs. Johns for all your wonderful stories!

Violet has completed a challenge set for her by the Mage. Unsurprisingly he finds a way to twist her success into a failure. Fed up, Violet and her fam will attempt to overthrow the mage, but will be dropped out of the frying pan and directly into the fire.
Another fantastic book in this intriguing and action packed series. Dark, sometimes funny, and absolutely fascinating characters. I didn't want to put this book down to sleep, loved it!

I am leaving a voluntary and nonincentivized review of the ARC.

This story just keeps belting out the hits! The fourth installment hits the ground running with all its intensity, seductive intrigue, humorous interactions, emotional exchanges and plenty of snark to lighten up even the darkest of moments. Violet is strong, real and identifiable. This story had me on edge from the very first.

Violet faces even more challenges in this book. It is just as full of snark and her being willing to do anything to keep her chosen family safe as the books before it in the series.

The only female in the world of male mages. Violet gets a dose of fatherly pride only to be manipulated as always. Each leader of the different angel races seems to have an ulterior motive in wanting Violet on their side but they all never seem to care about Violet as an individual. They only want to mold her into something that can be used as a weapon. The mage plays on feelings and pins others against one another yet swears to have love for all of his children. After seeing this world as well as Heaven and Hell, it's easy to see how similar that they all are. They rule through fear, torment, and manipulation. Is one better than either of the others? I can see why Violet takes her stance on not supporting any of the sides and instead supports the individuals who have been cast to the side, forgotten, or treated poorly. This book really dives deeper into the feelings of Violet and her guys and shows how much they have dealt with in their pasts just simply by trying to survive. It shows just how much they've changed from the people that they once were. I really enjoyed this book but desperately need answers to my questions answered! I'm excited to see everything come to a conclusion in the next book.

Vampire Mage is Book 4 in the Rebel Angels series by Rosemary A. Johns. This series gets better and better. Violet is still doing what it takes to keep her makeshift family together and safe. She does not always make the best decisions. Rahab, the mage, does everything he can to make it difficult for Violet to keep her family safe and together. This is another home run in the Rebel Angels series. As always with Rosemary's books, I highly recommend it. Received an ARC and this is my voluntary review.
