Gods on Earth: Complete Series (Books 1-3): Paranormal Romances with Norse Gods, Tricksters, and Fated Mates
THOR, LOKI and TYR make up the complete series of Gods on Earth, a paranormal romance and urban fantasy series by USA TODAY and WALL STREET JOURNAL bestselling author, JC Andrijeski. It’s ideal for people who want a light romp to Asgard, naked gods appearing magically in their local bars, and a dose of wicked trickster games.
*
THOR – GOD OF THUNDER
He appeared out of nowhere - naked, blue-eyed, flickering with blue and white light, a silver hammer perched on one muscular shoulder.
When he walked out of the bar without a word, I, Silvia Hope, thought I’d never see him again. Naked cosplay? Drunken dare? I figured I’d never know. Until, on my walk home, there he is again, fighting with another guy in the park by my house.
Then the lightning starts, the glowing eyes, and the guy he’s fighting seems to transform into a giant snake.
I start wondering if someone dosed me in that bar. Still, I take Thor home, where he tells me he’s a god. Oh, and thanks to a Dragon God named Jörmungandr, I have some kind of magic object embedded in my throat, and there’s a good chance I’ll die if someone can’t fix me, fast. So that’s neat…
*
LOKI – THE TRICKSTER GOD
I won. I, Loki, stole the magical ring right out from under Odin’s and Thor’s noses. Right before a little minx stole it from me.
I outsmarted them all. I tricked my brother and father, and even my water-dragon son, sending them on a ridiculous chase while I slipped out the back door. I nearly got caught––twice––but in the end, I possessed the prize––the magical Andvaranaut, a god’s ring that allows me to hide out on Earth as long as I wish.
Then she came along.
That little human thief took it right off me, in broad daylight, in the bustling markets of Nepal, without me feeling an Asgardian thing. I’m onto her now though, hot on her trail and closing in. I’ll get that deliciously devilish girl if it’s the last thing I do…
*
TYR – GOD OF WAR
I’m trying to save her life.
I’m trying to stop a war.
But nothing about Marion Ravenscroft is easy.
And the world wants to careen into war, no matter what I do.
I’m out of practice in dealing with human women.
Especially human women who do strip teases for me, the first time I meet them. Especially human women I feel strangely drawn to, pulled into, like I knew her before I even met her. Especially human women who won’t do a damned thing I say.
I’m Tyr, God of War, son of Odin.
I’m supposed to be the adult in the room. Among my brothers, I’m the one who is duty-bound to keep the humans from destroying themselves, to keep peace among their tribes. Yet it was Loki who sent me on this quest, when his new wife stumbled upon a plot to kidnap the daughter of the President of the United States…

The “Gods on Earth” Boxed Set compiles into a single volume all three instalments in this delightful series by J.C. Andrijeski, which features the Norse Pantheon in a way you might have not been expected, unless you’re already a fan of Andrijeski’s, then you have already learn to expect the unexpected, been awed every single time and enjoy the ride 😊
Andrijeski is addictive – I already knew that – nevertheless…..expect the unexpected 😉 However, always paired with non-stop-reading session, fast-paced action, humor (dark and otherwise), carefully world-building that mix elements of urban fantasy, Norse mythology (and she gets it right!) very mature and explicit paranormal romance, with a good action plot and credible vulnerable characters that are easy to relate to, all of them perfectly wrapped up in Andrijeski’s unique writing style.
This compilation offers all three volumes in the series (“Thor”, “Loki” and “Tyr”), which is a blessing and a curse in itself… Of course a blessing as all Andrijeski’s stories always are, and a curse because… once you start “Thor” you will not be able to stop, say bye, bye to full-night sleep, but hey sleep is overrated nevertheless, and again a blessing, because after being acquainted with ‘Thor’ there is still ‘Loki’ and ‘Tyr’ to meet…
Just in case you want a peek at the stories 😉
Thor (Gods on Earth #1)
As Jörmungandr (Jör for short and Loki’s son) steals the Andvaranaut (An Asgardian relic) and brings it to Earth, Thor follows him, only to get sidetracked in the transfer and appear wielding Mjölnir and bare-skinned in a club in front of Silvia Hope (FMC). As Silvia follows Thor and witness a confrontation between Thor and Jör, she finds herself at the center of fight for the Andvaranaut, that will get her through realms. Silvia reactions and Thor’s obviously ‘God out of Asgard’ (aka ‘fish out of water’) reactions are a source of never-ending enjoyment. Thor is funny, to the point of whimsical but absolutely credible at all times, while Silvia (in her state of shock) just seems to take everything in stride. Another Andrijeski’s best… just beware of side effects… such as lack of sleep, reddened eyes and an over-caffeinated head, or schedule a nice daytime reading session to avoid them 😉
Loki (Gods on Earth #2)
Loki, very much in synch with his nature has once more manage to outwit them all, both his brothers (Thor & Tyr) and his own son (Jörmungardr), stealing the Andvaranaut (an Asgardian ring of immense power) right under their noses with no one the wiser. However, someone is about to con the God of Cons, and give him a dose of his own medicine. As Loki, fully pleased with himself (also to be read as ‘full on himself’), strolls through a market in Nepal, he happens upon Lia Winchester, a – usually - very professional thief, that can’t pass on the opportunity to steal that gorgeous gold ring from that handsome stranger. The ring can help to pay a good chunk of her debts to the mob boss, she is currently working for.
A skilled thief, Lia manages to steal ring, but she has not counted with Loki, who not only takes badly any attempt to outwit him, but also desperately needs the Andvaranaut to successfully hide from his family on Earth. On the other side Loki is also in for a ride because Lia doesn’t exactly fit the image he has of humans in general of females in particular. Be warned Loki remains very much Loki, there is not redemption for him, not any is necessary, he is naughty, mischievous, and a neverending source of mature entertainment. Loki might be morally wrong, but never evil per se, and always luring 😉
Tyr (Gods on Earth #3)
Tyr is supposed to be the balanced one, the one who holds his cool, between Thor’s hammering character explosions and Loki’s amok runs. However, this whole business of interacting with humans is not his forte. He might be the God of War, but despite of it, or maybe exactly therefore, he is intended on preventing the incoming war, humans seem oddly invested in starting. After all it his duty to save the humans from themselves. Everything begins fairly easy, Loki’s wife just stumbled into complot to kidnap Marion, the daughter of President Ravenscroft, to force his father into war. Tyr has a fool-proof plan: step in, save the human, stop the war. There is only a slightly problem: the ‘human’ doesn’t want to be saved, she even has a mind of her own, and doesn’t shy away to put Tyr on his place (which is not exactly the Asgardian pantheon). Tyr makes a new discovery: this human is taxing, infuriating, and very, very appealing 😉 and not only when she is supposedly stripping for him, or was she not? Tyr and Marion start on an odd foot, but they learn to dance nicely with each other…. eventually…

I read these books when they were published as stand-alones and totally loved them. If you’re new to this highly addictive series I highly recommend getting the bookset. As for a review, I think the one I posted on books 2 and 3 works. Here that is:
“I just adored Thor and Silvia’s story in the first book of JC Andrijeski’s Gods on Earth series (separately reviewed), and not just because the concept of a love story that starts with a god and a tech nerd meeting in a bar simply grabbed me. I mean, c’mon, Norse gods and their fated mates? I’m so there. Despite looking forward to the sequel I somehow missed Loki (Book 2) until after Tyr (Book 3) was released. Well, silly me, but I made up for it in one slap-happy addictive two book binge trip. I couldn’t help it as these books were as fun and addictive as Book 1. Frankly, as much as I adored Thor and Silvia, I simply don’t know which pairing is tops. Loki and Lia, the thief who outsmarted him, and Marion, who just doesn’t want Tyr to “save” her, are equally appealing. These books are indeed the promised ideal stories “for people who want a light romp to Asgard, [with] mischievous gods falling for unwitting humans”. Perfect, and totally fun paranormal romance and urban fantasy romps. Dragons, magical wolves, rather grumpy witches, magic and so much more. I’m sure any reader would find these hard to resist, so it’s easy for me to highly recommend both books.”

The received troubling information from a family member, and as the God of war decides to investigate. She is the daughter of the President of the United States,and she really doesn't enjoy all of the attention it brings her way. Fascinating, well written, and intriguing characters. I loved them. Exciting action, and a happily ever after. I think this is a must read series.
