Master Trentino by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is for those over 18 only due to the adult content within.

Master Trentino is a vampire and a part of the Consulate of Vampires, he rules his area in a fair and honourable way and is known for his strength and loyalty, so while on a mission to find someone, instead of the place being empty as he expects, the woman he finds there is more alluring to him than anyone before. Angel is one of a large family, but she can hold her own with her other siblings and can definitely fend for herself, she also has psychic powers which she uses to help others, however, one night she is surprised to find a man in her home whom she doesn’t know who gently accosts her and then lets her go before disappearing, but he doesn’t disappear from her life.

After doing his research into the woman and her family, Master Trentino has to go back for another look and maybe get to know her a bit more, but that plan goes out of the window when he finds her in a pool if blood at the foot of the stairs and not alone, there are other dead bodies there and another enemy of Trentino’s which he has no issues with dispatching for what they have done. Angel is coming down the stairs one minute and on the floor and struggling to breathe the next, she cannot understand what is happening, all she knows is that she is surrounded by darkness and being held by a man she doesn’t know.

As her life slips away, Trentino takes the matter into his own hands and decides to turn her, he cannot just let her die in this way before he has a chance to explore the connection which is undeniably there, so he does just that and then takes her back to his home to transition and then recover while he notifies the Consulate of what has happened. When Angel comes around, she has no idea where she is or what she has now become until Trentino explains it to her, but all her life she has been brought up to hate vampires and all they stand for, however, she cannot deny the attraction feels towards Trentino and how it increases everyday, meanwhile, the Consulate need to figure out how sensitive information has been leaked, who has been leaking it and why.

Will Trentino and the other Masters of the Consulate be able to figure out who is betraying them before their luck runs out as the rogue shifters, witches and the syndicate tighten the noose around them and will Angel be able to come to terms with her transition and make peace with her new circumstances, or will she turn away from Trentino and run back to her family? This is a paranormal romance with a dark twist which is full of secrets, lies, betrayal and romance, with an undercurrent of mystery throughout which will take you on a rollercoaster ride, full of ups and downs as the fight for their lives plays out.
