Inevitable (The Curse of Avalon Book 2) by Sariah Skye

InevitableThe Curse of Avalon Book 2by Sariah SkyeGenre: Paranormal RH Romance
A few short weeks ago, I knew exactly who I was: Ava Dawson, a woman with a surprising magical ability, a daughter, a friend, and invisible to men. 

Now? Everything has changed. The only family I’ve ever known? Betrayed me. My best friend lives clear across the city, and I seem to have the favor of four gorgeous, reluctant incubi. That complicates things a bit.
Also, I have this powerful magic coursing through my veins: the power of the mythical isle of Avalon. It’s real, I promise—I feel it every day. If I don’t learn how to control it, I might just end up hurting the people closest to me. Mathias, Trystan, Bash, and Xander are the new sworn protectors of Avalon—me. They’re powerful, but this magic? Might be more so.
I’m resisting the magic and trying to figure out who I am again. Losing my control? It's probable. Losing my heart, split among four gorgeous men? Yeah, I’m sure it’s only inevitable
(this is a slower-burn paranormal/ reverse harem romance, like the first book in the series. Due to language and adult content, the entire series is recommended for adults 18+)

“Go ahead and live with four guys,” they said. “It’ll be fun,” they said.Okay, I admit I don’t know who “they” are. The voices in my head, maybe.My best friend. My father of all people. But after three weeks of living with mynew…boyfriends?... I can say, with confidence, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.Not because they aren’t hot, or kind, or sexy…but because they’re pigs. Pigs Itell you!It’s 3 A.M., and I ducked down to the kitchen to get a late-night snack.Before I got to the kitchen, I realized I had to pee. So, I slipped into one of thebathrooms on the main level. There’s a nightlight on, but still I stupidly satwithout looking first. I imagined—as always when I use the toilet—that I’mgoing to sit down about knee level and do my business.So, imagine my utter dismay, when my ass hit the cold porcelain, and I slidinto the toilet bowl; my ass grazing the blue toilet water. It’s cold, and I cringed.And, even though it was mother-fuckin’ 3 A.M., I didn’t care. I’m going toyell!“Okay, which one of you fuckers left the goddamned toilet seat up downhere!? I swear to god, when I figure out who you are, I’m going to cut thecrotches out of all your pants, you assholes!” I threatened, screaming at the topof my lungs so hard, feeling my cheeks tense with heat. Both face cheeks andass cheeks alike. To be fair, they aren’t really assholes, but my asshole wasswimming in toilet water and I’m humiliated. So, for right now? Everyone is anasshole.I heard the scrambling of awkward male feet as they cower in their rooms,safe and snug in their beds from my ire. “You bastards, I swear…” I mutteredunder my breath, as I unceremoniously propped my hands on either side of thebowl, and awkwardly lifted myself up. My buttcheeks dripped toilet water fromthem, and I reached for the toilet paper in the holder so I could dry off my poor,pride-stung butt.The cardboard roll spun in the holder, but I didn’t touch cushiony softness.Oh no, I touched…an empty toilet paper rollAnd then, I saw red in my eyes. There was only one explanation to theculprit of this toilet travesty.“TRYSTAN!” I screamed bloody murder at the top of my lungs. The formereagle-shifter had a slobby streak to him, and maybe it’s because of his birdbrain,or his laziness, but I’ve caught him twice now not replacing the roll whenhe’s finished.InvisibleThe Curse of Avalon Book 1

My name is Ava Dawson. Ever since I was young, I have had this strange “gift” of invisibility. I can’t explain it, nor can I always control it. It affects my work, my personal life, dating—all but my mother and best friend seem to be affected. No matter what I do, I seem to always be forgotten.
Until I meet these gorgeous guys during a girls’ night out, and there’s something strangely alluring about them. An ancient curse brings us together, while a group of supernatural “Collectors” is threatening to tear us apart. They’re targeting people with special abilities like mine, and all four men have taken it upon themselves to protect me. But with their complicated pasts, I can’t help but feel protective of them, too. I’m trying not to get in over my head, with these men, and the magic. 
But I have to admit, It’s nice to be seen after years of being invisible.
*Author's Note: this book is 'reverse harem;' meaning, one woman, multiple love interests. This series is meant for readers 18+ only

My eyes widened, half expecting him to take out a gun or some sort of weird supernatural gadget that would vaporize me. Thankfully, he only produced a business card. He crossed the room with a single stride of his long legs and handed it to me. “Ava, you’re obviously a smart and strong woman. You need to figure out if you can trust what I said or not, but I think if you think about it, you’ll understand I’m telling the truth. And if you have some sort of latent abilities, leaving them unchecked is dangerous. If you are what I think you are—well…”I lifted a brow. “And what do you think I am?”He sighed thoughtfully, as if debating something. Then he asked me something very surprising. “What do you know about your father? Are you close to him?”I blinked, taken aback. Wanting to say something snarky, but I couldn’t. The subject had always been raw with me, despite how I respected my mother’s wishes to not ask more about him. “I don’t have one. I’ve never met him.”He nodded slowly. “Uh-huh. What does your mother know about him?”I shrugged, looking away so he couldn’t see the pain in my eyes. “Not much. Apparently, I’m the product of a one-night stand.”Mathias was quiet. “And, she never married after that?”“No.”Mathias raised an eyebrow. “See where I’m going with this?”I glared. “No, I don’t think I do.”Mathias shook his head with a grin. “Products of a joining between a human and an incubus are extremely rare, though the chance increases if the human isn’t fully human. Even still, it’s incredibly rare. Very rare.”I stayed thoughtfully silent.She could become obsessed with one of us, and be unable to find her own love.Mathias’ words rang over and over again in my mind as he stood there, flicking the little card in between his fingers; as if waiting for me to have a revelation.“So…” I finally said after a few moment of stun. “What would that make me?”“If you are what I think you are, you could be pretty powerful indeed and very valuable to many out there who could use you for something… insidious,” he said, his tone hushed.“What am I?”“I think you’re a cambion. The child of a human and an incubus. Usually that joining triggers something in the human genetics, and can give you some interesting abilities. But if you don’t know how to use them, they can come out in odd ways,” he explained calmly.I nodded slowly. “Yeah. I see…” I trailed off.Mathias stood before me, and knelt to my eye level. He reached for my hand, gently. I tried to pull away, but I found I didn’t really want to. I wanted to reject everything this man—this mystery was saying. But his earnest, warm brown eyes made it very difficult.He held my hand between his as his eyes searched mine. I swear I thought I saw his turn colors; from a light brown hazel to a dark brown, but I had to be seeing things. Right?“Ava, if you are what I think you are, you could be in danger.” He slipped the card into my hand, and closed my fingers around it. “But you have to decide you want help; I’m not going to force you. I’ll keep checking on you every now and then—myself or Trystan, Sebastian or Xander will. Because if anyone finds out about what you are... it could be very dangerous.”I didn’t speak; I just clutched the card in my hands. He patted my fingers and stood, stepping towards the door. “Our contact information is on that card, if you decide you want help. We’ll be there for you, any time. Day or night.”He took one more glance at me before he left, offering a smile before he disappeared
Sariah Skye physically resides in southern Minnesota with her husband, two kids and a dog (so really...3 children) but mentally her head is in the clouds dreaming of anything that doesn't require adulting. When not writing she's probably geeking out watching Star Trek, playing World of Warcraft, reading yet another fantasy book or staying up way too late. She'd love it if you dropped her a line at Facebook or Twitter but be prepared...she's a nictofiliac so be patient for a response while her eyes adjust to the light of day and beware of sarcasm. It helps to throw her chocolate or glitter first before engaging. Wine is also acceptable...but not to throw. Hand it over gently.
