Ravena
She is Unbreakable Glass.
She is Stronger than they know.
She has a plan.
She is Ravena.
In the land of lost magic and scarred souls, a land ruled by a cruel Queen with love for no one, Ravena was born. Her life did not start, in truth, until the day her best friend helped her kill the vicious mate forced upon her.
Surrounded by three tattered mates, she must find a way to bring them together and form some semblance of a family or face the Queen’s wrath and removal from the devil she knows. There are horrors in Talamh na Sithe that would kill for one of The Eight and she cannot allow that to happen.
She’s paid her dues.
Ravena knows there is a way through the storm of loss, betrayal, and pain for all of them, she just needs to find it because storms can’t last forever and if flowers can bloom in this blood-soaked land, so can love.

*I received this book free from the author.*
Book one in the Eight series was Airmed and I would suggest reading it first. In it you learn a little about each of the eight girls and it brings a side to them you wouldn't get otherwise.
Ravena wasn't one of the lucky girls. She got sent to live with four brothers. The eldest wasn't nice at all and that's putting it mildly. He dominated the house with an iron fist and no one who lived within those walls escaped his wrath, not even his brothers, so when he dies of a 'heart condition' no one shed a tear.
Finn, Lochlann, and Rory had many years more than Ravena did of the pain that house held, but if she could put it behind her then so could they. One by one they realize the true meaning of love and family.
"I know she hates me. She is the first woman I ever slept with and she hates my guts. I can't help but love her."
Ravena is another intriguing book from Sharilyn Skye. It's does have some intense sexual scenes, the ones from their memories regarding Rowan are not always consensual. But the ones that are....are a mixture of hot and sweet. There's also betrayal, murder, and conspiracy. I cannot wait to see whose book is next.
Honestly, I'm torn between wanting to know about the eight and reading each of their books and seeing how they tie together with the Healer series. All I do know is that it's going to be one hell of journey.

Second book in The Eight series
Ravena is a stand-alone novel, but also part of the Eight series. It’s not required you read book one first but I highly recommend it. Also, The Healer series is tied to this and recommended as well.
Ravena is one of only eight female Fae born to Fairy. Along with her sisters, she’s under contract to a household of mates. Hers happen to also be brothers. Children are scarce in Fairy and the Queen wants that to change.
Male children are killed and female children raised by the Queen to be contracted to multiple mates, as the Eight are. Including her own daughter.
As some Fae begin to see their Queen may be the cause of their plight, a quiet rebellion is plotted and no one can be trusted.
This is a reverse harem novel with an eventual HEA. Well written and compelling story. Recommended for fans of Laurell K Hamilton.

Ravena; this author does it again!
Really well written 2nd book of “The Eight’! This book grabbed me and I couldn’t put it down! Ravena is trapped and can’t live life as she would choose. She makes good her life with her three loving, protective and loyal boys. They do need to rid themselves of a traitor in their mist to go on to live a happy, fulfilling and peaceful life! Excellent read!

Great Story 😁
So far this series is building towards a fantastic reckoning 😃. A terrible Queen who rules with pain and terror needs to be taken out 😵. Hopefully the cast in these stories will get it done before more people are lost 😖. Thanks again Sharilyn, I can't wait till the final episode happens 🤓.
