Rosemary A. Johns Books in Order (Updated August 4, 2026)

Rosemary A. Johns writes paranormal romance, romantasy, omegaverse romance, contemporary why-choose romance, and paranormal cozy mysteries. She also publishes selected collaborations as R. A. Johns.

Her earlier books center on vampires, angels, werewolves, gods, demons, fae, and magical prisons. Her newer work includes Pack Bonds omegaverse romances, the Bay Rebels hockey series, and the Shadow Kings romantasy trilogy.

There is no single order covering every Rosemary A. Johns book. Some series tell one continuous story and must be read from the beginning. Others use a shared world but follow a different heroine and group of partners in each book.

First, Choose the Right Rosemary A. Johns Series

1. Begin with Blood Dragons for her original vampire saga.
2. Begin with Vampire Huntress for a longer angels-and-vampires fantasy.
3. Begin with Only Perfect Omegas for wolf-shifter why-choose romance.
4. Begin with Rebel Academy: Crave for a magical reform-school trilogy.
5. Begin with Bad Loki for mythological why-choose romance.
6. Begin with A Familiar Murder for a paranormal cozy mystery.
7. Begin with Rebel & Her Knights for Pack Bonds omegaverse romance.
8. Begin with Being Pucked for contemporary hockey why-choose romance.
9. Begin with The Forbidden Dragon King for her newest romantasy continuity.

Which Rosemary A. Johns Books Require Strict Order?

The following series tell continuing stories and should not be rearranged:

1. Rebel Vampires
2. Rebel Angels
3. Rebel Werewolves
4. Rebel Academy
5. Rebel Gods
6. Oxford Magic Kitten Mysteries
7. Shadowmate
8. Shadow Kings

Rebel Demons and Pack Bonds are more flexible because individual books focus on new central relationships, but publication order still gives the clearest world development.

Bay Rebels also changes central relationships while maintaining a shared hockey and found-family setting.

Rebel Vampires Books in Order

Rebel Vampires is Rosemary A. Johns’s original published series. It follows a hidden vampire world in which humans and vampires can both become predators, captives, and rebels.

The trilogy follows one developing conflict. Read all three books in order.

1. Blood Dragons (2016): A human woman is pulled into the secret Blood Life and discovers that the vampire who fascinates her may also be part of a dangerous system of ownership and control.
2. Blood Shackles (2016): The struggle against vampire enslavement deepens as the characters face captivity, rebellion, and the consequences of challenging the rulers of the Blood Life.
3. Blood Renegades (2017): The trilogy reaches its final confrontation as the rebels fight to overturn the powers controlling both vampires and humans.

Rebel Vampires Reading Rule

Start with Blood Dragons. The relationship developments, political structure, and rebellion continue directly into the next two books.

Later Rosemary A. Johns series reuse some supernatural ideas, but Rebel Vampires remains its own primary trilogy.

Rebel Angels Books in Order

Rebel Angels combines vampires, angels, witches, gods, underworld courts, and a large-scale supernatural war.

The five novels follow Violet through one continuing story. Later books reveal major relationship and identity developments from the earlier installments.

1. Vampire Huntress (2018): Violet is drawn into a conflict between vampires and angels, where her unusual identity makes her both a potential savior and a valuable captive.
2. Vampire Princess (2018): Violet’s position in the supernatural hierarchy changes as hidden family connections and rival claims threaten the people she has begun to love.
3. Vampire Devil (2018): Violet is taken into the underworld and forced to survive a brutal vampire court while confronting the father who abandoned her and the power growing inside her.
4. Vampire Mage (2018): Magic, loyalty, and war collide as Violet’s abilities expand and her bonds become central to the survival of several supernatural factions.
5. Vampire God (2019): Violet faces the final stage of the angel-and-vampire war, where her identity and relationships may determine whether the worlds are saved or destroyed.

Rebel Angels Reading Rule

Read all five books consecutively.

This is not a collection of interchangeable standalones. Each installment continues Violet’s relationships, powers, and supernatural war.

Rebel Werewolves Books in Order

Rebel Werewolves follows Crimson, the last Wolf Charmer, and three British wolf princes. The series is set around Oxford and combines witchcraft, shifter hierarchy, enemies-to-lovers tension, and why-choose romance.

1. Only Perfect Omegas (2019): Crimson is taught to distrust werewolves but becomes bound to three wolf princes while uncovering the truth about her powers and her parents’ deaths.
2. Only Pretty Betas (2019): Crimson’s relationship with the princes deepens as rival packs, magical rules, and the expectations attached to Betas threaten their developing bond.
3. Only Protector Alphas (2020): Crimson and her wolves face the final conflict over pack leadership, ancient magic, and the future of witches and werewolves.

Rebel Werewolves Reading Rule

The three books form one complete story. Begin with Only Perfect Omegas and do not skip ahead.

The complete-series edition contains the same trilogy and should not be counted as a fourth book.

Rebel Academy Books in Order

Rebel Academy is also marketed as the Wickedly Charmed trilogy. It takes place at a magical reform school for supernatural troublemakers.

The central heroine is Magenta, a powerful ghost witch connected to the creation of the academy.

1. Rebel Academy: Crave (2020): Magenta awakens as a ghost at the academy she helped create and bonds with three dangerous immortals while challenging the princes and professors who control the school.
2. Rebel Academy: Crush (2020): Magenta and her lovers enter the Rebel Cup and face an assassin mission while the power created by their bonds becomes increasingly difficult to control.
3. Rebel Academy: Curse (2020): Secrets from Magenta’s past return during the academy’s final conflict, forcing her and the immortals to decide how far they will go to break its curse.

Where Rebel: House of Fae Fits

Rebel: House of Fae is connected to the magical reform-school setting, but it is a separate standalone rather than Rebel Academy Book 4.

Read the Rebel Academy trilogy first when you want the strongest recognition of the school, its punishments, and its supernatural population.

Rebel Gods Books in Order

Rebel Gods reimagines mythological figures through why-choose fantasy romance. Each title centers on a different god while continuing a shared mythological world.

1. Bad Loki (2021): Loki and the people bound to him face trickery, power struggles, and a romance shaped by the god’s reputation for betrayal.
2. Bad Hades (2021): Hades becomes the center of a dangerous underworld romance involving power, captivity, and the question of whether the feared god can be trusted.
3. Bad Ra (2021): Egyptian mythology enters the series as Ra’s divine power and hidden vulnerabilities drive the final principal romance.

Rebel Gods Reading Rule

The books have different mythological centers, but they are best read in publication order.

Earlier gods and supernatural rules may be referenced later, while the trilogy’s world expands with each installment.

Oxford Paranormal Book Club Books in Order

Oxford Paranormal Book Club is set in Witch Hollow, a magical English village where fictional characters can become real.

The books combine paranormal romance, comedy, magic, and literary references.

1. Biting Mr. Darcy (2021): Eva’s book-club magic brings a dangerous version of Mr. Darcy into her life, turning a familiar literary fantasy into a supernatural romantic problem.
2. Hexing Merlin (2022): Merlin becomes part of Witch Hollow’s magical disorder, where legends, curses, and romance collide around the paranormal book club.

Oxford Paranormal Book Club Reading Rule

Read Biting Mr. Darcy first because it introduces Witch Hollow and the book club’s ability to bring fictional men into the real world.

The romances differ, but the magical community carries into Hexing Merlin.

Oxford Magic Kitten Mysteries Books in Order

Oxford Magic Kitten Mysteries is a paranormal cozy series involving magical crimes, an Oxford setting, and a familiar who repeatedly becomes involved in investigations.

The mysteries have individual solutions, but the recurring cast and magical relationships progress across eight books.

1. A Familiar Murder (2021): A magical familiar and its human companion become involved in a murder investigation that introduces the supernatural side of Oxford.
2. A Familiar Curse (2021): A curse places familiar characters in danger while the investigation reveals new secrets about the local magical community.
3. A Familiar Hex (2021): A dangerous hex creates another mystery in which magical evidence is as important as ordinary clues.
4. A Familiar Brew (2021): A suspicious magical drink or brewing-related incident draws the recurring investigators into another case.
5. A Familiar Ghost (2022): A ghost becomes central to a mystery involving unfinished business, hidden motives, and supernatural testimony.
6. A Familiar Spell (2022): A spell with unexpected consequences produces another crime that the familiar and its allies must untangle.
7. A Familiar Yule (2022): A holiday celebration becomes a seasonal paranormal mystery involving familiar suspects and festive magic.
8. A Familiar Bride (2023): A wedding brings romance, magical complications, and another investigation into the Oxford community.

Oxford Magic Kitten Mysteries Reading Rule

Each mystery has its own main case, but the series should be read in order for the character relationships and magical-world developments.

Begin with A Familiar Murder.

Shadowmate Books in Order

Shadowmate was published as R. A. Johns and co-written with Mila Young.

The two-book shifter series follows one connected supernatural conflict involving wolf trials, fate, and dangerous bonds.

1. Wolf Trials (2021): A heroine enters a brutal wolf-shifter competition where survival, attraction, and pack politics determine who can be trusted.
2. Wolf Fates (2022): The bonds and supernatural conflict from the trials continue as fate forces the central characters toward a final decision.

Shadowmate Reading Rule

Read Wolf Trials before Wolf Fates.

The second book completes the relationship and conflict established in the first.

Rebel Demons Books in Order

Rebel Demons follows four demon princes connected to an underworld empire. Each novel centers on a different elemental prince and human heroine.

The romances are structurally standalone, but the demon politics and royal family develop across the series.

1. My Demon of Fire (2022): A human woman is mistaken for her twin and abducted by a dragon-shifting demon prince, leading to a fake mating arrangement while they search for her missing sister.
2. My Demon of Air (2022): A music student is taken during a raid and becomes the guarded secret of a winged wolf-shifting demon commander.
3. My Demon of Earth (2023): A human healer saves a wounded panther-shifting demon prince and discovers that he believes she is his fated mate.
4. My Demon of Water (2023): A human servant in the Merfolk Court is saved from drowning by a mysterious merman prince, creating a forbidden relationship between human and demon.

Rebel Demons Reading Rule

Each book resolves its principal romance, so readers can understand them separately.

Publication order is still recommended because the Demon Empire, royal conflict, and earlier couples continue across the four novels.

Pack Bonds Books in Order

Pack Bonds is a large omegaverse series. Each installment follows a different heroine or central Omega and the group of partners who form a pack around them.

The books are connected standalones rather than chapters in one continuous romance. Reading in order gives the clearest picture of the wider ABO world and its changing institutions.

1. Rebel & Her Knights (2022): A rebellious heroine forms a bond with powerful knights while challenging the rules that define her place in the omegaverse.
2. Ember & Her Marshals (2022): Ember becomes connected to a group of marshals whose authority and protective instincts complicate her freedom.
3. Angel & Her Champions (2023): Angel’s pack forms around champions who must protect her while navigating competition, danger, and the expectations attached to their bonds.
4. Jewel & Her Kings (2023): Jewel becomes involved with powerful kings, placing romance beside royal authority and the risks of belonging to several dominant partners.
5. Puck & Her Blades (2023): Puck bonds with dangerous protectors known as the Blades while violence and loyalty test the pack they are creating.
6. Mercy & Her Devils (2024): Mercy becomes tied to men with feared reputations, forcing her to look beyond the labels attached to her possible pack.
7. Candy & Her Saints (2024): Candy’s romance contrasts sweetness with powerful partners whose saintly image may conceal more dangerous instincts.
8. Juliet & Her Romeos (2024): Juliet becomes the center of a multi-partner romance that reworks the idea of destined love within the Pack Bonds world.
9. Harley & Her Ferals (2025): Harley’s bond with feral partners tests the limits of pack law, control, and what society considers acceptable.
10. Bliss & Her Idols (2025): Bliss becomes involved with highly visible or admired partners whose public identities complicate their private bond.
11. Grace & Her Sinners (2025): Grace’s pack forms around men considered sinful or dangerous, creating a conflict between reputation and genuine loyalty.
12. Rogue & Her Hunters (2026): Rogue, an Omega who can shift into an Alpha state, escapes a secret ABO facility with another Omega and becomes the target of hunters while building an outlawed bond.
13. Blaze & Her Billionaires (2027): Blaze will become involved with wealthy, powerful partners in the thirteenth Pack Bonds romance.

Pack Bonds Reading Rule

Every book follows a new central pack, so readers can select individual premises.

Publication order remains the recommended route because pack laws, institutions, and recurring world details expand from Rebel & Her Knights onward.

Blaze & Her Billionaires is forthcoming and should not yet be counted as a published release.

Royal Hall Books

One Secret Rule

One Secret Rule (2023): A heroine enters an elite college or royal environment governed by secrets, privilege, and one rule that becomes difficult to obey after attraction develops.

The book is listed as Royal Hall Book 1. No second published installment has been reliably confirmed as of August 4, 2026.

Its central romance is complete enough to be read as a standalone.

Lost Boys of Never Books

Darling Madness

Darling Madness (2023): A dark contemporary why-choose romance reimagines lost boys, obsession, and the danger of becoming the center of a tightly bonded group.

The book is listed as Lost Boys of Never Book 1.

No second confirmed installment currently follows it, so readers can approach it as a complete standalone story within a potentially expandable world.

Bay Rebels Books in Order

Bay Rebels is a contemporary why-choose hockey series. The books follow athletes, partners, and found-family connections surrounding the team.

Each installment has a different central relationship, but players and earlier couples continue to appear.

1. Being Pucked (2024): A heroine becomes involved with multiple hockey players, bringing team loyalty and shared attraction into a relationship that cannot remain casual.
2. Secretly Pucking (2024): A hidden relationship within the hockey circle creates pressure when secrecy begins to conflict with the bonds forming between the central characters.
3. Pucking Road Trip (2024): A road trip creates prolonged close quarters for a heroine and her hockey partners, turning travel complications into deeper commitment.
4. Pucking Obsessed (2025): Desire becomes increasingly intense as the central hockey group struggles with possessiveness, public attention, and the meaning of their bond.
5. Triple Pucked (2025): Three hockey-linked partners become central to a why-choose romance in which team relationships and shared commitment must be balanced.
6. Pucking Them (2026): Another heroine enters the Bay Rebels world and must decide whether she can trust the players determined to claim a permanent place in her life.
7. Pucking Happily Ever After (2027): The forthcoming seventh book will return to the Bay Rebels for another hockey-centered why-choose romance and series continuation.

Bay Rebels Reading Rule

Begin with Being Pucked.

The main romances change, but publication order preserves team introductions, established relationships, and the development of the Bay Rebels found family.

Pucking Happily Ever After is scheduled for 2027 and remains unpublished as of this update.

Shadow Kings Books in Order

Shadow Kings is a romantasy why-choose trilogy involving dragon, vampire, and fae rulers. The series combines omegaverse elements, royal intrigue, fated bonds, enemies-to-lovers relationships, and a shared heroine.

This is one continuing story and should be read in strict order.

1. The Forbidden Dragon King (2025): A secret princess is bound to a dragon king who wants revenge, forcing enemies into close proximity while court intrigue threatens both of them.
2. The Last Vampire King (2026): The heroine and a vampire king enter a dangerous royal mission involving espionage, blood politics, and the expanding conflict among the Shadow Kings.
3. The Fallen Fae King (2026): A fae king and secret empress face the final stage of the war, where love and political survival demand an impossible choice.

Shadow Kings Reading Rule

Read The Forbidden Dragon King before The Last Vampire King.

The Fallen Fae King is scheduled for September 17, 2026, and will complete the trilogy.

Rosemary A. Johns Standalone and Shared-World Books

These books are not numbered installments in the author’s main private series.

Blood Gods

Blood Gods (2019): A hunter must confront a dangerous vampire and the powerful Blood God connected to him while trying to prevent a supernatural disaster.

The novella or short novel belongs to the wider vampire side of Johns’s bibliography but is not Rebel Vampires Book 4.

Rebel: House of Fae

Rebel: House of Fae (2020): Lord Spring is imprisoned in a supernatural reform school with fae allies and shifters, where surviving the Queen’s system becomes entangled with forbidden bonds.

The book is a complete why-choose romance. It shares elements with Rebel Academy and reveals more about Prince Lysander, but it is not part of the numbered academy trilogy.

Elite

Elite (2022): A dark contemporary why-choose romance places its heroine inside an exclusive secret society where wealth, power, and attraction are controlled by dangerous rules.

The book belongs to the multi-author Society of Secrets project. Other books in that shared world are optional.

Knot My Fate

Knot My Fate (2026): A small-town omegaverse romance will bring a heroine together with a firefighter, a paramedic, and other possible partners during a crisis of fate and heat.

The novel is scheduled for October 16, 2026. It is presented as a standalone rather than Pack Bonds Book 13.

Boxed Sets and Complete-Series Editions

Rosemary A. Johns has issued multiple omnibuses and complete-series collections.

Rebel Vampires: The Complete Series: Collects Blood Dragons, Blood Shackles, and Blood Renegades.

Rebel Angels: The Complete Series: Collects all five Violet novels from Vampire Huntress through Vampire God.

Rebel Werewolves: The Complete Series: Collects Only Perfect Omegas, Only Pretty Betas, and Only Protector Alphas.

Rebel Academy: The Complete Series: Collects Crave, Crush, and Curse.

Rebel Gods: The Complete Series: Collects Bad Loki, Bad Hades, and Bad Ra.

Rebel Demons: The Complete Series: Collects the four elemental demon-prince romances.

Boxed sets do not add new principal stories. Readers who own the individual books do not need to buy the corresponding collection for continuity.

A Genre-Based Rosemary A. Johns Reading Plan

A strict overall publication order creates constant jumps between unrelated worlds. A genre-based route is clearer.

For Dark Paranormal Fantasy

1. Rebel Vampires
2. Rebel Angels
3. Rebel Werewolves
4. Rebel Academy
5. Rebel: House of Fae
6. Rebel Gods
7. Rebel Demons

These series share Johns’s interest in rebels, supernatural hierarchies, captivity, and magical bonds, but they should not be treated as one continuous storyline.

For Omegaverse Romance

1. Pack Bonds
2. Shadow Kings
3. Knot My Fate

Pack Bonds uses connected standalone packs. Shadow Kings follows one continuing royal story. Knot My Fate is a separate standalone.

For Contemporary Why-Choose Romance

1. Elite
2. Darling Madness
3. One Secret Rule
4. Bay Rebels

These books and series share contemporary settings but occupy separate continuities.

For Lighter Paranormal Reading

1. Biting Mr. Darcy
2. Hexing Merlin
3. Oxford Magic Kitten Mysteries

The paranormal book-club romances and magic-kitten mysteries share an Oxford-area magical atmosphere, though their central formats differ.

Does Rosemary A. Johns Have One Chronological Order?

No.

Rebel Vampires, Rebel Angels, Rebel Werewolves, Rebel Academy, Rebel Gods, Rebel Demons, Pack Bonds, Bay Rebels, and Shadow Kings should each be treated as separate reading units.

A few settings and supernatural concepts overlap, but that does not create a reliable author-wide chronology.

Publication order matters inside continuing series. It is less important between separate series.

Latest Rosemary A. Johns Book

Frequently Asked Questions

What Was Rosemary A. Johns’s First Book?

Blood Dragons (2016): A human woman enters the hidden Blood Life and discovers a vampire society built around danger, control, and rebellion.

It begins the Rebel Vampires trilogy.

Should Rebel Vampires Be Read Before Rebel Angels?

They are separate numbered series, but reading Rebel Vampires first follows Johns’s publication history and introduces her original vampire world.

Readers can begin Rebel Angels with Vampire Huntress without completing the earlier trilogy.

Are Rebel Academy and Rebel: House of Fae Connected?

Yes, through the supernatural reform-school setting and characters such as Prince Lysander.

However, Rebel: House of Fae is a complete standalone rather than a fourth Rebel Academy book.

Is Wickedly Charmed the Same as Rebel Academy?

Yes. Wickedly Charmed is another series label used for the trilogy containing Rebel Academy: Crave, Crush, and Curse.

The books should not be counted twice.

Do the Rebel Werewolves Books Need to Be Read in Order?

Yes.

The trilogy follows Crimson and the same three wolf princes through one continuing romance and supernatural conflict.

Are the Rebel Demons Books Standalones?

They are interconnected standalones.

Each novel follows a different demon prince and heroine, but the underworld empire and royal conflict develop across all four books.

The series currently runs from Rebel & Her Knights through Rogue & Her Hunters. Blaze & Her Billionaires is scheduled as Book 13 in 2027.

Six books are published:

1. Being Pucked
2. Secretly Pucking
3. Pucking Road Trip
4. Pucking Obsessed

It was released in July 2026 and is Pack Bonds Book 12.

Conclusion

The best Rosemary A. Johns starting point depends on genre.

Begin with Blood Dragons for her original vampire work, Only Perfect Omegas for wolf-shifter why-choose romance, or Rebel Academy: Crave for a continuing magical-school trilogy.

Readers interested in her largest current series should begin Pack Bonds with Rebel & Her Knights. Readers wanting contemporary hockey romance should start Bay Rebels with Being Pucked.

For the newest romantasy continuity, begin with The Forbidden Dragon King, continue with The Last Vampire King, and finish with The Fallen Fae King after its September 2026 release.
