Master Descallia (Masters of the Consulate Book 1) by Sylvia Black – Review by Megan Conley

Descallia (Masters of the Consulate, #1)Descallia by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 1st installment of the Dark Vampires series and I am here for it! I love how action-packed and fast-paced the novel is and Sylvia Black’s character development is phenomenal.
Overmaster Salvatore Descallia is a force to be reckoned with, but Officer Lucianna Denaro brings him to his knees in the most delicious way ever. I love her spunky attitude and how she completely gives into her situation without letting it defeat her. The whole story is so fast-paced but Black doesn’t miss anything. Lucianna doesn’t lose herself when she is forced to turn (due to circumstances beyond her control) and she continues on her quest that brought her to Salvatore. The chemistry between them is undeniable and when they finally give in, sparks fly.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first time I have come across or read anything by this author so she is new to me. I enjoyed the flow of the story and her style of writing. Luciana is a cop with psychic & telepathic abilities. She’s put on a case to fund out who is behind taking the women that have recently gone missing. She is put undercover to work in a club where she meets her new boss, Overmaster Salvatore Descallia. She is being shown around the building by another worker when some masked men come to rob the place. She nearly loses her life but is saved by Salvatore. He himself is also trying to find out who is pulling the strings and kidnapping all these women. It gets especially critical when the mate of a master is taken. While trying to figure out a strategy for finding the missing women these two start to develop an attraction that cannot be ignored. It’s hard for Salvatore at first because he had a mate that he lost hundreds of years before. He didn’t think he would come to love anyone again. There is ancient text in the vampire lore that speaks of a woman who will be the salvation of the vampire race. Luciana fits the description to a tee. Could Luciana be that woman? Could she also possibly be his mate reincarnated?

I definitely read these books out of order, but this book was just as good as book two and three. When I first discovered this series I had no idea who this wonderful author was or how quickly I would devour her books. While this is a series each book can be read as a stand alone, however the series is so great that trust me you won’t won’t to stop at one. The plot was original, full of action and romance, and of course plenty of twists to keep you interested. Do if your looking for a great new story pick this one up today.

WOW OH WOW!!! This book is so great I read the book in less than 24 hours! Vampire series are a guilty pleasure of mine and this one ticked all of the boxes for me! This first book in the series is about a detective who is brought into the vampire world and who ends up being turned into one after being attacked. As her and Master Descallia’s romance is blooming the women are disappearing and they are in a race against the clock to find them. This was such a great book!!

Great series! It ties in police detective work with vampires. The real world, in this case, is the human world we know, mixed in with vampire bars and a vampire overlord. If you like vampires, world building, police work, and romance, this series is for you.
Book 1 is about a human detective being brought into the vampire world under Master Descallia (the vampire ruler) and learning what it is like to be a vampire. She is investigating missing girls. Can she find them? Can she fit into this new world? What happens to her old life if she’s a part of the new life?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Humans, the Syndicates and Vampires have learned to exist in an uneasy balance.  However, the multiple disappearances of women in Las Vegas in a way that points to the Vampires threatens to topple that balance. The Consulate of the Vampires, the ruling party for the Vampires, made up of 12 pure bloods and an Overload decide they must step in.  Overlord Salvatore Descallia is invested in finding who is kidnapping humans while trying to frame his people.  In order to shadow the investigation, Descallia heads to Vegas.   The human’s police department want to place an undercover, Clairvoyant officer before the Vampires become aware of the situation.   When Descallia addresses Officer Lucianna Denaro, she decides to work with him to reach the same goal, find the women.  Unfortunately, things just do not go as planned.   This led Descallia to offer Luce a chance at a second life, as a vampire.  The sparks that fly between the two are intense from start to finish.  Descallia expects obedience and Lucianna is just as head strong.
The characters are well developed, have depth and a connection that neither was expecting. There is a BDSM theme throughout so for some that may be a trigger. I also like that there is a larger story being laid out throughout. Can not wait to see how the how story carries through to the next book in the series.

This is the first story in the “Masters of the Consulate” series. It’s an interesting world this author has created. A brand-new world where humans, vampires and syndicates work along in the same world respecting each world. Lucianna is a cop with some interesting powers. Salvatore is the leader of the Consulate that governs the vampire clans. He stumbles upon her and must rescue her from death. This is an interesting and intriguing story.

Master Descallia is domineering, sexy, and a shoulder full of responsibility. Meeting Officer Luce and watching their relationship develop had me eagerly turning pages. On top of which, they’re trying to save a group of human women and navigate a hostile relationship between vampire and human worlds. I wouldn’t want to wear the Master’s rings if I read where they went correctly, but it was holy hot to read and I’m totally ready to dive into Book 2 to see what else develops for the Consulate Masters.

Lucianna is a police detective with special powers that is assigned to a case involving missing women. Can they work together to solve the case?
The chemistry between Salvatore and Lucianna is sizzling. This was an exciting page turner that has me longing for more.

This is just pure brilliance. I have been in a bit of a book slump and this comes along and blows my mind. Love the world the author creates with vampires living alongside humans. I fell in love with Salvatore and Luce quickly grew on me. The story just builds from the start with threats to the vampire society, special powers, thrilling action and there is no time to take a breath. Ugh – and then it ended – I am already seeking out book 2.

Salvatore Descallia is not only the head of the Descallia Clan but also the overlord of the Masters (the vampire clans). The humans and vampires live in harmony as much as possible in this world. Salvatore’s job as the overlord is to make sure the vampire clans are staying out of trouble and at the same time keeping an eye on the syndicates to ensure they don’t cause trouble for the vampires.

From the beginning I was very intrigued by the concept of the book. Within the first few chapters, we meet Lucianna better known as Luce and learn of the attraction between Salvatore and Luce. I quickly got sucked into the story and finished the book within a day. I enjoyed learning about the characters and figuring out what their job or purpose is.

This is a really good book! I enjoyed the writing and the storyline. Luce one of our main characters is a badass in her own right. She is a police officer and can handle her own. At first she seems a little timid, but she always puts others before herself. Once she opened up, she was a force to be reckoned with. I loved her story arc and her character growth. Salvatore is our other main character. He is the overmaster of all. This is someone you do not want to mess with. At first he starts out brash, overprotective, and aggressive. When he first meets Luce he goes overboard. But she pushes back and doesn’t take his crap for nothing. I loved seeing him become more caring and understanding and more accepting that she can hold her own.
The only problem that had was the BDSM scene. There was no real explanation, build up yes, but i felt like it was not the right build up. There was no real sit down and talking and making sure she understood what would happen and the set up of safe words, it was just this was happening, and bam it was done. I understand that probably wouldn’t have really fit into the book, but a brief scene i felt like would’ve made it better.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and simply cant believe that this is her first book! That ending has me wanting more and a little sad that it’s its own stand alone book. I cant wait to read book 2 an see what it brings!

I love novels about vampires and romance. This novel did not disappoint me. The story of Salvatore and Lucianna had it all, romance, suspense, drama, a villain, and adventure. It is always a good time when we can see a strong male find love and happiness with an equally strong female and I loved reading their story. This is the first in a series and I cannot wait to continuing the adventure as we work to figure out who is working against the vampires.

As book one this is one of the most enticing and original vampire story.
A little bit of spice and romance with the danger of death.
This plot is so well created it stays true to the vampire lure.
You can never go wrong with a main character named Salvatore and a green eyed beauty.
This was so enjoyable I cannot wait to read book two.
This author had me obsessed from the first chapter.

Salvatore and Lucianna are truly meant to be. I really enjoyed the first book in this series. The details in this book are incredible and I really enjoyed hearing all of the details about how everything started. I think it’s perfect that the Overmaster was the first to have his story told. The attraction between Lucianna and Salvatore is intense even just from them each simply laying eyes on the photograph of the other. Once they’re actually in the same room together, there’s no denying something very special is between them and that fate is drawing them closer and closer. There is so much action and mystery in this story along with romance and heat. It’s truly magical seeing the big, gruff, powerful Overmaster melt when it comes to his Lucianna. When the truth is revealed about her past I absolutely swooned-it was so perfect! Some amazing background characters are introduced in this first book and I’m so exited to read their stories too!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in a new paranormal vampire series. The series is likely to be 12 books long as there are 12 members of the Vampire Consulate around which these books are written. This is a new author to me as I’m just starting to read more paranormal books. I thoroughly enjoyed my first book by this author and already have books 2 & 3 in the series on my kindle waiting for me to devour.
Salvatore Descallia is the Overmaster of the vampire consulate and is used to everyone doing as he asks without question. When he meets Lucianna Denaro, a police office with clairvoyant talents, he finally meets someone who is not afraid to say no to him and questions his authority. While this enrages him, he can’t help being fascinated and attracted to Lucianna (Luce).
I loved the interactions between Luca and Salvatore. His continual attempts to dominate her and her disregard for his authority, makes for some fun reading.
This is much more than just a paranormal romance, there is an intense and complicated background story running alongside the romance element and that makes this such an intriguing and entertaining read. I was really drawn into the story from the very beginning and, as the book leaves you with a taster of what’s coming next, can’t wait to read the next installment.

First you have a brave Heroin with attitude to boot! Lucianna jumps in feet first to try and find the missing women and finds herself attached to a Vampire Overlord in the process.
Salvatore has his work cut out for him with Lucianna and the desire to protect and save her, if even from herself. He is used to his word being obeyed without hesitation, until her.
There definitely is a plot twist that I didn’t see coming and hopefully it surprises you as well. I have read many Vampire Novels and Sylvia has made the Masters of the Consulate a series I do not want to miss a single Novel from!
Thank you, Sylvia, for the good read and keep this series going! Can’t wait to read what comes next.

I’ve always had an obsession with vampires, and Master Descallia: Masters of the Consultant by Sylvia Black did not let me down. Instead had me lusting after Salvatore’s dominance as the Overlord. I couldn’t begin to tell you how much I loved him and his character development.
We find Salvatore headed to Las Vegas to investigate disappearances of women that could cause a massive war if pinned on the vampire community. Within his investigation he crosses paths with Lucianna, a mortal that intrigues him.
Lucianna, who has a gift of sight, uses that in her job as police officer to help solve cases. Lucianna has been assigned to Descallia Resort to go undercover to retrieve information. When she crosses paths with Salvatore Descallia himself, she’s drawn to him, and can even penetrate his thoughts if he doesn’t put up a block.
A paranormal romance filled with quite a bit of suspense as well as some humor. If you enjoy Vampires and you enjoy romance novels, invite you to dive in and be just as captivated by Master Descallia as I am!

Whilst I do like paranormal it’s not my usual genre but something about this book really stood out for me, the cover, the synopsis everything just made me want to pick it up and I am SO glad that I did – it was an amazing read! I was sucked in (no pun intended) from the very first page, the characters were exciting to read about and I loved the dual POV. The pace and flow of the story was amazing and the chemistry between Salvatore and Lucianna was off the charts! I liked that it wasn’t your typical vampire story, it had a nice original feel to it! I am so excited to read the second book in the series!! I cannot recommend this book enough!! It’s a definite one click for me!

I always love when authors take paranormall subject matter and take it and make it their own tellings of the lore, and Sylvia Black did a fantastic job doing just that! I loved Salvatore and Lucianna’s story. Such a great version of the supernatural world and how it ties together. True to any good vampire story this story is dark and sexy but in a way that felt fresh and new. I loved the mystery and suspense while everything started to unfold. From page one I was instantly engrossed and struggled to put the book down but that is just how I like it! I started book two right after finishing this book and finished it the same day! Sylvia Black is an author to follow without a doubt and I will definitely be reading more of her work as soon as I can!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Note: I warn that anyone suffering from any type of abuse may find some scenes in the book hard to stomach and be triggered.
There is a mystery of woman being kidnapped and all evidence points to the vampire community. The leader of the vampires has worked centuries to establish human trust and does not wish to lose that trust. Enter in the saucy and strong willed female investigator. She is sent to go undercover and solve the mystery. Then everything goes awry. Needless to say, the magical powers of the vampires are pretty nifty and they can really pack a punch. I could really do without the heroine being made to be subservient. I liked her better when she was strong willed and stubborn. I guess we will see where the next book takes us.
If you are into vampires and BDSM, then I guess this would be your type of book. It was a quick read, and kept me interested, so I will give it that. I enjoy a good romance and mystery, but the “Master/Servant” stuff was a bit much for me.

Thank you Sylvia Black for adding more sexy vampires to our lives!

I really enjoyed this paranormal mystery romance. This def took some turns I was not expecting! A quicker read than I was expecting too as it kept me so riveted!

I’m not sure I fall for the insta-lust between Luce and Salvatore, but I did enjoy the attraction to one another and mystical the connection they had. I enjoyed that it was more of a slow burn romance with sexual tension building. I also enjoyed the twist on who Luce could be and why she hates the nickname Lucy.

Some BDSM or Dom/Sub vibes but not overtly BDSM.

I really liked Luce’s growing friendship and working relationship with Clay, Terrence, Silver, and Lucas. I also enjoyed scenes with Embry and the levity she brings to a fairly dark story.

Trigger warning for abduction and attempted trafficking of women.

I really love the characters and the action in this novel. Luce is my kind of heroine – from her choice of coffee to her instinct to protect and serve. She felt like someone I could walk into a precinct and meet. Salvatore is your Mr. Tall, Dark and Powerful, but is taken down by some green crystalline eyes. He has got that vampire sexiness down. The action started right off with women coming up missing. It’s a great read with a great mix of several elements.

She quickly becomes a challenging distraction for Salvatore. There is a twist that causes Salvatore to make a choice about Lucianna’s life. Will he make the right one?
