Master Campania (Masters of the Consulate Book 7) by Sylvia Black – Review by Ayla Phipps

Master Campania: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Skin warming intensity. Once again, Sylvia Black temps you into the dark world of Italy’s under dwellers of the night. This time with pureblood Master Campania and the little enchantress that is Willow. Following their story and how they get to their happy ending while hunting the rogues from both sides.
Campania is the master of the southwest part of Italy, where in most of the clubs all mingle together in peace, each respecting the lifestyles of the other. Willow and her friends were tired of always being under the watchful eyes of head witches and coven leader Devora, so they left the academy to finally find some freedom of their own. The story picks up essentially where it left off at the end of book six Master Calabrea. Overmaster Descallia has revealed several names of traitors and they have been dealt with but now the rogue witches responsible for helping the rogue vampires are on the run and hiding in Master Campania’s region. He will not quit until he finds them and gets the information he needs to hunt down and find the rogue vampires determined to reset the clock and force them back into the dark ages. Willow out on a night of fun with her friends comes face to face with Campania, a pureblood, the very thing she has been raised to hate. Refusing to give up her witch sisters because of rumors she feels are made up by the vampires she tells him a lie that quickly backfires when she’s not quick enough in disappearing again. While intrigued with Willow and her psychic abilities that could match his own, his look alone sets her blood racing and her skin tingling. With backup Campania goes to get Willow and her friends for her lie, but the fear in her eyes leaves him with an unfamiliar emotion that causes him to try something new to get the information he is after.
Will Campania get the information he needs, in time? Can Willow truly trust a vampire? The author continues to fill in the details of each region of her world with each book. Not only the beauty of the day but the mystery that lurks in the shadows of the night. Glimpses of Campania in previous books make you hungry to learn more about him, to get into his space and find the secrets and the author does not disappoint. Knowing a book will have a happy ending honestly pulls me in more than anything, knowing I will have that satisfaction at the end. I eagerly await the next instalment of the Masters of the Consulate series with book eight, Master Sardinia, October 19th, 2023.
