Two gods. One girl.We are the old gods. The forgotten deities.We are fierce, proud, jealous, and possessive.A lying little human tricked her way onto our world.Now she belongs to us.Forever.
Every time I think Loki Renard has outdone herself, she comes up with something new that just blows me away. I’m a huge mythology geek who loves to hear the tales of all the “Old Gods” and this one felt like it was written specifically with me in mind. Ragnor was already living in the realm of Okeanus when Helios arrived. Even after an untold number of years, Helios had never forgotten how Ragnor had accepted into the realm so when he heard a desperate prayer being sent out to all the old gods for help, Helios accepted the call. Expecting an infant male child he was shocked when a full-grown naked female arrived. And that’s when the adventure starts. The characters were so beautifully flawed they were so easy to relate to and the world-building was incredible. If this first book is any indication of the caliber that’s coming with the rest of the series, the count me in all the way because it’s that good.

What a unique and creative story. I absolutely could not put this book down. Rael is a brat who finally learns what is important. I actually like Ragnor the best. He was the dominant jerk but he had a heart of gold. The ending was twisted and mean. It left me wanting so much more and now I have to wait. Loved this story, don’t miss it.

Stunning Gods on a planet of utter beauty and one frozen human female…what a way to start a new series! Helios and Ragnar are opposite is every way and Rael adds a complicated mix to their peaceful existence. The interactions between the three are fantastic! I cannot wait for the next in the series.

A creative fantasy which picks up pace by the latter half
—>>> “Humans are wayward by nature.” – A miracle missive from the human realm results in the arrival of a female onto the shores of Okeanus, much to the surprise of Ragnar and Helios, two castaway ancient gods who have outlived their use and power on a dystopian Earth. Rael was an unexpected delight, her wonderment while taking in the beauty of the isle, being pampered at Helios’ palace, and partaking in existentialist discussions with these two super-being males, shaking things up on the isle, certainly. Nothing else matters to her now that she has been freed from spending the rest of her life at the mercy of the system governed by the all-mighty Entity, an AI-based ruler. The flip side is that she has to learn how to respect them and to accept their discipline if she were to even have a chance to remain there. A creative fantasy which picks up pace by the latter half of their story!

Helios and Ragnar are demigods living on an island called Okeanus. Helios is filled with light and sun and acts as king. Ragnar is deep, dark and the caretaker and defender of Okeanus as well as a special tree called Yggdrasil. Rael, a beautiful, young, human, female, hurdles through space after praying for sanctuary. Helios is thrilled with her; Ragnar wants her gone.
Eventually, they both learn to share her loving treasures. Rael tends to be a bit of a brat and a liar. Helios is gentle and kind, but Ragnar is able to illicit truth and obedience through his harsh discipline. And, Rael learns to appreciate both gods.
This story is filled with so much adventure, excitement, erotic experiences and caring that I cannot even begin to delve into them without giving spoilers. I cannot wait for the next book.

Mythology, meet Dystopian. That’s the extremely simplified description of what the premise of this book is. And even though I say that, I feel that it’s like looking at a tornado and saying it’s wind. It’s just the tip of the iceberg even if it is accurate.
There is a lot going on in this one. Part of that is because it’s the first in what I know is going to be an incredible series. Part of that is because Ms. Renard loves to write complex characters and detail-rich story lines. This story focuses on the Gods Helios and Ragnar, and the human female Rael. Helios provides a lot of the humor in the story. He’s a little like a rebellious teenager – he wants to keep Rael because he’s bored, he’s king of the world because he said so, he wants to keep things secret from the other Gods. Ragnar, on the other hand, is the more strict, more disciplined, more dominant one of the two. He lets Helios have his ideas of grandeur even when he disagrees with him. He’s also the one who is determined to find out what is really going on, he’s slow to trust, and he’s the Alpha in this trio.
This story has a lot of steamy sexy scenes, a rich backstory that I can’t wait to dive more deeply into, and characters who are easy to connect to. I loved every second of it!

What a fantastic new series by Loki Renard! Ours tells the story of the gods Helios and Ragnar and their human Rael. Rael is allowed into Okeanus, the land of Gods, under somewhat false pretenses. Ragnar wants her gone, one way or another, because human women bring nothing but serious problems for the gods. Helios is more pragmatic, he is intrigued by the beautiful human and wants to know more. To protect her, Helios takes her as his and this angers some of the other gods. I loved these characters, Helios was the charming, glowing, charismatic King, Ragnar the warrior, brutal, always itching fro a fight, and Rael, beautiful, innocent, and compassionate with both her gods. The story was well paced, funny at times, and steamy at others. I cant wait for the next installment go these Possessive Gods!
I received an ARC and am happy to leave this honest review.

**spoilers**
Human Rael sends a false message and escapes from a machine controlled Earth.
Helios, God of the sun and Ragnar, God of a tree? – both were driven out of Earth thousands of years ago and landed on Oceanus – a planet? dimension? far away from humans. Many other Gods and demi-Gods have also made their home here.
Helios received the distress message and thinks a male infant is being sent. Instead it is an adult female human.
Rael is a brat. She lies. She is disrespectful.
This story starts very slow with alot of background until around the 60% mark. I didn’t feel any connection between the 2 Gods or Rael. 24hrs after meeting her, Helios is in love after they have sex. Rael then has sex with Ragnar. 48hrs later, she’s in love with both Gods.
Some drama. Quickly resolved. HEA
There is a blurb for book 2 at the end and it sounds much more interesting than this story.

Fantastic new series!
WOW! I Loved every second of this story. It was suspenseful, thrilling, sexy and highly erotic!
Rael is a survivor and a real spitfire of a woman. She’s tough, feisty and fierce. Not even a god can stand in her way of getting what she wants. Helios and Ragnar are two very sexy but totally opposite gods that have fallen for Rael. They want to teacher her some manners and obedience but all she wants is her freedom.
”I am a rebel. I am a criminal. I am everything I was never supposed to be, and you will not break me Ragnar.”
When these three are together they had me laughing like crazy and also melting into a puddle of goo with their passion and sexual chemistry. I adore these three amazing characters and definitely want to read more about them.
”Another time, Ragnar. I’m not in the mood.
Ah yes, human females, always acting on the impulses of their glands. Do you ever tire of being a walking hormone?
Do you ever tire of being a walking asshole?”
So much fun to read! I’m am very excited for the next book!

So excited about this new world of old gods and a dystopian Earth. It’s a story where gods have retired to a world far away and humans no longer have the ability to believe in a higher power after they found themselves enslaved by the machines they created to help them. One human dates to defy the Entity that enslaved the humans and sets off across space, crying out to the old gods to hear her pleas for help – one god hearts her prayer and offers her refuge but with it will come great change to world that had known peace for thousands of years.
Helios fashioned himself as the king of the retired and old gods. Those who were driven away by humanity when there were no believers left. This little planet had no one on it but Ragnar and the two of them slowly started saving fellow castaway gods over the millennium, but he is restless now missing something. Could he miss humanity and their lusts they insight? Whatever it is her is not giving up this human female?
Ragnar knows this female is nothing but trouble. She is a liar and up to no good. He can feel it in his bones. As soon as he felt the oceans boil on her arrival, he knew the change she would bring would be chaotic and possible Earth-shattering. She will punish her and dominate her for being a human even he can’t stop what is happening between them. The path that the Fates have set these three on will change not only this world but possible Earth, too. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Fascinating premise
The old gods, the forgotten gods, have left the earth, and now inhabit a planet called Okeanus. So what happens when a human escapes Earth and crash lands with the gods. Why, two gods claim her as theirs of course – in all ways. Such as delicious contrast between dark and light in Ragnar and Helios, and how both are perfect for the human Rael. And a great, very Rumpelstiltskin feeling lead in to the next book in the series, Dark Twin. Great series, great set-up, and I would definitely recommend.

Oh I am loving this new series with the older God’s that are forgotten in a land no one knows of, it is very unique and exciting.
Ragnar is a brute that loves punishment and Helios soft and loving now with a human woman changes everything. Rael is super sassy and does not hold back as she tells these two sexy God’s how it is, I loved the characters they were fun and interesting and so different with very descriptive details in the writing I loved it.

What a treat! This is a wonderful start to an exciting new series Loki Renard has done it again! We live on a world two old forgotton Gods, I’m Helios God of the Sun yes I drive a charriot with winged horses and my best friend Ragnar he guards his tree Yggdrasil with his mighty axe and we are dying. When I receive a P.R.A.Y.E.R. I think to myself maybe it’s time to open our hearts one more time but instead of an infant male we get a woman, a beautiful woman at that. With Rael together Ragnar and I start to remember and enjoy all the things we were missing being in exile, including love, family and a new life worth living for.

This is the beginning of a new series and is the story of two gods, Helios and Ragnar, and the human female, Rael that they rescue and then agree to shar sexually. Helios is as gentle as Ragnar is rough but she comes to love both of them. There is a cliffhanger in this story which makes you want to continue reading this series.

Interesting book. Matrix meets Rudolph’s Shiny New Year. Rael lives on Earth in a society dominated by the Entity. She lived in her own little pod and was hooked into a central consciousness and lived in virtual space. She managed to get out of her pod and so that life wasn’t what she thought it was. She researched through Entity and found out about Okeanus. Okeanus is where the gods fled. They each live on their own little island (the Rudolph’s Shiny New Year reference). Rael sent a P.R.A.Y.E.R. and Helios, the god of the sun in Greek mythology, allowed her to come. Ragnor is another god and he protects Yggdrasil, the tree that connects the nine realms in Norse mythology. Helios decides to let her stay and to teach her obedience. Rael wants nothing to do with obedience, she wants her freedom. Both Ragnor and Helios want her so they share. There is a HEA for those characters, but the set up for the next book leaves lots of questions unanswered. I enjoyed the story. The whole concept is intriguing. I’m looking forward to the next book.

This story isn’t what I thought it would be. It’s not a typical Loki book, but with that said Loki has a very fertile imagination! The characters are larger than life. The book is filled with gods and what they ideas they represent. The plot is good one which makes for a good read.
