Nothing is more deadly than secrets… term.
My enemies trapped me as a ghost on the very cursed grounds that I helped to create. Yet thanks to three deliciously tempting immortals, I’ve been awakened. One is a beautiful incubus who hungers for pleasure. The next a gorgeous shifter and mage who always senses the truth but enjoys his lies far more. Oh, and who could ever forget Loki’s hot trickster son?
Why choose between these sexy delinquents when having them all is such sinful fun?
The immortals risked everything to free me, and I’ll stop at nothing to protect them from the elitist princes who rule the reform school. Will my bond with the magical students and new friendships be enough to battle the dangerous rivalries, as well as the cruel professors’ schemes?
Or will I be forced back into the darkness…
…and left to fade away?

*** EXCERPT***
“You’ll be taught to survive by the most powerful witches in England.” The Immortal’s hold on me tightened. “I won’t lose anybody else.”
When Magenta kissed down my neck, I arched into her touch. I glanced at the magic mirror, which trapped us in our love. Sweet mage, I’d never imagined that I could look so bewitching caught between the alluring beauty of an incubus and the commanding hotness of a god.
Had our image in the mirror summoned Magenta or had our pleasure called to her? Why was the ghost becoming more powerful through her connection to me? Plus, was she truly the wicked witch who was more dangerous than the professors and princes…?

“Freedom should never be for one person alone.”
This book gets off to an addicting, fascinating start and gives a perfect explanation for how misunderstood villains are born.
Johns has proven to have epic world-building skills, this is a dark, fascinating world I think I could enjoy getting lost in over and over again. Despite the dark nature of the world, I did laugh out loud many times and real feels came through at times.
There are also quote-worthy reads that prompt thought.
Overall, this is a fun read and I plan to continue on in the series and explore more from this author—I’m officially a fan.
4 stars.
Performance-
Perfect. Pleasant voices, appropriate tones, talented actors, couldn’t ask for more here.
(I listened via audible) I loved this series!! The narrators did a great job throughout. The story had me pulled in from the start. A great intense read with plenty of action. The character work is great and the story very well written. Love the cover. I would recommend this series for sure. (I also read the box set before listening to book 1)
Deep character development is the hallmark of this story. There’s plot and action and drama but the focus is all about the characters. magenta is a complex heroine and her guys are layers of deep and intriguing. The world building is very good and the atmosphere is almost touchable. You can’t really listen to this story while you’re doing other things or you miss too much but it’s got enough spark to keep your interest all the way through. Highly recommended.
Amazing story about a prison academy for supernatural bad boys. Magenta is trapped and asleep till her men wake her up. Now we follow their adventure as they get to know each other and fall for each other. Super hot and spicy. Absolute must read
Rosemary A. Johns’ writing style and my reading style click. It’s hard to explain what happens when I read one of her books, because yes, you really can’t read those with other stuff on your mind, but it just works for me. I just want to keep on reading and reading and reading. So, I’m quite happy that I got the entire box set of this series to review! You’ll get a review for each book, since I don’t binge read to prevent a reading slump.
What I love most about Johns’ books is that they’re so focussed on the emotions and personal development of the characters. That doesn’t mean there’s no plot, because there for sure is a plot, but the plot is hidden behind loads of emotional drama and loads of personal issues characters have to work through. And although that means her stories are not that spectacular, it does mean her stories are really intense and touching.
It also means that the stories are really atmospheric. It’s hard to explain exactly what happens, but by making the books all about the characters, it seems as if the story starts to breathe those characters. The entire story, the entire world, the entire plot, it’s all colored and determined by the characters telling us their story. We’re not just reading their story, we’re feeling their story and experiencing their story, because they give their souls to the story.
This book had an extraordinary interesting set of characters. Magenta is layered, complicated and more than just a cute girl falling in love with a lot of men, but her men are also way more than love interests. Even the side characters are way more than just passing by. All those characters are so real and deep and unique. As a reader you can just feel that they all have their own history and their own stories to tell. I can’t wait to read what’s waiting for them in the next books!
Magenta was the first Blessed Charmed Witch in 500 years and her mother has let it be known that she is to marry a fae prince. She tries to get out of it and is cursed. The other characters in this book amazing and Rosemary did another great job with this book. I look forward to reading more and see whats in store for Magenta
This was quite the page turner.Took awhile to get into it,but after getting into the book,couldn’t put it down.
Rebel Academy: Crave is an Awesome book
I loved the storyline and the Rebel characters are lovable.. my favorites are Magenta (The Immortals Prefect, Ghost Witch, Crow), Fox ( Confess, the Immortals Whipping Boy), Sleipnir ( the Son of Loki, Slippy), Bask ( Crave/an Incubus of the Night Lineage) and Midnight (Vampire, Fallen Angel, the Princes Whipping Boy/Curse).
There is a guest mention of Aquillo who is Fox’s cousin. Aquillo is also a Rebel Mage who can be found in the Rebel Werewolf series.. Aquillo is married to Crimson at the end of book 3.
In Rebel Academy: Crave you will find surprises and lots of humorous quotes.. I can’t wait to read book 2 to see what happens with these wonderful characters.
Rebel Academy: Crave
I enjoyed reading this story, the characters are great and I could easily imagine what I was reading
Revel Academy: Crave is Book 1 in the Wickedly Charmed series by Rosemary A. Johns. As usual, Rosemary has created a marvelous world with superb, relatable, interesting characters. Her writing draws you into her world with excellent description and well developed characters. Rebel Academy is in truth a prison of sorts for supernatural bad boys. Our MFC Magenta created the Academy but was cursed. The Academy is cursed and the curse is maintained by the trapped body and spirit of Magenta, a witch and the Blessedly Charmed, who is trapped in a tree. Three of the Rebels (an incubus, a mage/shifter, and Loki’s trickster son risk all to free Magenta. Now that she is free, she will protect them and the Academy Rebels with her life. Beginning with page one, this is a rollercoaster ride filled with action, suspense, adventure, twists/turns, intense romantic scenes, etc. that will keep you turning pages to the last as you need to know what is going to happen as well as leave you wanting more. Am anxious for the next book in the series to see what Rosemary has in store for Magenta and her rag tag crew. I highly recommend this book as it is a phenomenal way to start a series. Received an ARC and this is my voluntary and honest review.
I am a diehard fan of Rosemary John’s, and she definitely did not disappoint with Rebel Acadamy!! Riveting storyline, well developed characters with awesome quirks, and lots of steam, and adventure all come together to make for a great read! Breathlessly waiting on the rest of the series!
A New Academy series from Rosemary A. Johns?! I’m all in!
Really loved this new books by Rosemary A. Johns. Love the characters of Fox. Could barely put it down and can’t wait to read the next book in the Wickedly Charmed series.
I have received an arc of this book from the author.
