Master Catteneo (Masters of the Consulate Book 5) by Sylvia Black – Review by Dr. Anya Schultz

Master CatteneoMaster Catteneo by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Master Catteneo was another great vampire romance by this author. I believe I had read most of this series and I just love it. This story starts with Overmaster Descalia (head of the vampires) mate being kidnapped by her sister who is trying to take over the underworld and overthrow the vampires. If you have read any of these stories, you know that the vampire men love their mates something fierce. Master Catteneo is also a head of a vampire territory and is helping to find his leader’s mate. He decides that he is going to get help from a respected “seer” in his territory. What he didn’t expect was the woman’s granddaughter, Alessia. Master Catteneo is not worried about the stories he has heard about the granddaughter because he is known as the life bachelor of vampire masters. Alessia also has many of the “seer” abilities and while trying to help the vampires find the mate, she realizes she has a mental connection to Catteneo. This connection could be the direct line they need to fine Overmaster’s mate. Can they learn to trust each other, trust the love and connection that is developing, and see past the fact that she is human?
I enjoyed this story. I won’t say it is my favorite in the series, but it still had loveable characters and a strong female presence. I liked that one of the characters was human, Alessia was sassy, smart, and assertive. I feel the connection between the two was good but super fast and unrealistic in nature. There was no process of thought before they were getting together physically – even after all this talk about trying to understand what the connection was, etc. I also think is it one of the more sexually tame editions in the series. They also kind of leave it as a cliff hanger. Granted, the story of Alessia and Catteneo did finish, but when I read the last page and turned, I expected more and it just ended. Now, I know I will end up reading the others, but I never felt the other stories ended in this way.

Return to Gallanvaig (A Quirk of Destiny Book 2) by Catherine Greenall – Review by Melissa Saxton

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Join in on this jaw dropping realistic post-apocalyptic fiction that will have you questioning every item of food you eat and every person involved in manufacturing your food.

Book 2 starts off 2 years after the initial outbreak after genetically modified food caused mutations in the human DNA. Genies are becoming organized under Balthazar and and desperately want to grow their numbers and control, consequences be damned.

Good vs Evil, intense page turning action drama, death, illness, sinister intentions and exquisite well researched science fiction will grip you and make you question everything you know….and make you want to start a garden 😂

This series is incredible post apocalyptic fiction (but so realistic) and I cannot wait to see how that ending turns out in Book 3. I was definitely immediately going “I have to know what happens! ” Don’t miss this series!!!

Master CatteneoMaster Catteneo by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Master Catteneo is in charge of bringing the Overmaster’s mate back home after she is taken by her own sister out for revenge. Catteneo goes to a local psychic named Ezra to see if she knows the whereabouts of said mate when he is greeted by Alessia, the granddaughter of the local psychic. Ezra getting up in age suggests that Alessia go with Catteneo.

Instantly they start off on the wrong foot. Being a master vampire, Catteneo is used to being submitted to but he will not get that from Alessia. She is sassy, stubborn and independent. The Overmaster insists that the two be stuck at the hip until they can find his love.

Both of the main characters are used to working alone but in order to get the missing person back they have to put aside their differences and their fantasies aside and work together.

This is book 5 of the Masters of the Consulate book but can technically be read as a stand alone without much trouble. The only thing I had difficulty with was some of the history of the background characters. This is also the first book I have read of the series and I must say that I am intrigued to read the previous books in the series. The book was action packed, romantic with a little bit of steam, and had great characters.

Master Catteneo: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate) by Sylvia Black – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.

Master CatteneoMaster Catteneo by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Master Catteneo is a Vampire master and has been put in charge of an extremely important hunt, the hunt for Overmaster Descallia’s mate, she has been taken and the trail runs cold in his area of the world, so he goes to see someone who can help find her from this end, however, the help he receives is not from the person he expects. Alessia is a young woman who is very protective of her family and so because of this, she inserts herself into the world of the vampires to give the help they seek to find a missing woman and even though she is scared, she feels that this is the right thing to do and that nobody, especially a handsome vampire will stop her from doing it.

This is a race against time as the Overmaster becomes more frantic and enraged by the minute, so when a beautiful and sassy psychic is sent to help him, Master Catteneo is frustrated when the visions don’t give him what he needs to succeed in his mission, instead, he is left more bewildered than ever, all the while trying to keep his mind away from her temptations.

As time moves on a nothing is happening, the mood in the team is thick with anger, frustration and Alessia’s past comes to the fore when she seeks help from another party, much to the disappointment and annoyance of the vampire lord as it is one of the groups with whom the vampires have a very tenuous balance. However, the attraction Alessia and Master Catteneo feel cannot be denied and when things take a turn for the worse, bargains have to be made and allegiances have to be tested in order for the search to be successful, including this new found bond, but can they survive the challenges and traps set for them, or will this bond be ripped apart before its strength can be fully tested?

This is another paranormal romance with danger at ever turn where nothing is as it seems and the tangled web of intrigue keeps you immersed in this dark world of the supernatural where loyalties are tested, reputations are gained and lost, as well as secrets, truths and lies becoming both more and less clear as you follow along in this race against time to save fated mates and uncover the tracks leading to them.

The Final BiteThe Final Bite by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by the talented Naomi Valkyrie. While I usually don’t read MM books the original story of the book made me give it a try. In the synopsis it is stated that one paranormal person is selected every ten years for a second chance at life. This cycle it is Quinnlan Trinity, a vampire that was murdered by his greedy sister a couple hundred years ago that is given his second chance.
Its officially Halloween when Quinnlan materializes naked in a rundown abandoned motel in the middle of nowhere. Three days in a small family town on the edge of a wolf pack, but a second chance is a second chance and Quinnlan is determined to give it his all to take advantage of the Gods kindness is choosing him. Watching the small town go about their Halloween activities Quinnlan is drawn to a mysterious figure that is walking alone in the dark away from the town. Following them for a short time he catches the scent of three wolves following as well, worried for the seemingly innocent person he continues to follow but from a distance to keep his scent from alerting the wolves. The end of the trail and Quinnlan might be a vampire, but he had never seen a ghost before one appeared before him yelling “HELP HIM” before vanishing again. The mysterious person is laying on the ground badly injured from the warning of the wolves when Quinnlan is faced with a choice. Allow this stranger to die, or give him his blood and save him but putting his fate in the strangers’ hands alone? Quinnlan might be a vampire, but he was always a lover and not a fighter, so he gives his one chance at a second life to save the man, later learning his name is Garrett. Many questions are running through Quinnlan’s mind, who is this man? What is his story? Why was he attacked by wolves? Will he accept my choice to save him, or will I return to purgatory?
For such a short read this book left me feeling satisfied, or better yet complete no cliffhangers or lingering what ifs. Not only was the story complete but the original plot has rules, including that the paranormal must tell their chosen mate the truth about the 3 days, everything so that in the end everyone gets to make their own informed decision on what will be the rest of their lives. One of my favorite things was the writer breaking the fourth wall, saying things we were thinking and telling the reader to use their imaginations which added an extra level of humor in some very intense situations. I look forward to reading more work from the amazing mind of Naomi Valkyrie. World building, storyline, writing style is all awe inspiring and enjoyable to read.

Another great book by this author. The characters are well written, the camaraderie of the different masters and their wives make it extra special. I really enjoyed reading Catteneo and Alessia coming together even if Alessia keeps contradicting him. Sometimes we need those people who let us know when we need to be confronted to make things clearer.
This is by far my favorite book in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book so much! Naomi Valkyrie has created yet another mesmerizing story, and I just can’t get enough of it. This paranormal romance is filled with steamy vampires, magic, and plenty of action.

When the gods decide that Quinnlan deserves a second chance at love and life, it sounds like a miracle. Except that there are stipulations to this second chance. Quinnlan has three days to take a mate, or he goes back to purgatory forever. When Quinnlan finds Garrett bleeding out, he has a choice to save him or let him die. If he chooses Garrett and gets rejected, he risks heading back to the one place he doesn’t want to go. Can he really let him die, or will he take the chance for true love?

I am never disappointed by this author’s work, and I’m happy to say that I’m left craving more after reading The Final Bite. I loved every moment of it and highly recommend picking it up for a quick escape!

Return to Gallanvaig: Beyond A Quirk of DestinyReturn to Gallanvaig: Beyond A Quirk of Destiny by Catherine Greenall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Return to Gallanvaig takes up two years after the first book in this trilogy A Quirk of Destiny and things have only gotten worse. It is a story set in a dystopian world which has gone mad and no longer resembles the world as we know it. It is a world in ruin. The sad thing is that it could well be a reality to come to fruition.

This dark and twisted tale has good pitted against evil. Is one necessarily better than the other? There are global conspiracies, mortal danger, deadly creatures, inevitable sickness and death, zombies and mutants with supernatural powers.

A post-apocalyptic tale like you have not seen before where science fiction meets real science.

How can those behind this terrible conspiracy and bringing destruction to the world be stopped?

Just as the first book did the ending is a bit of a cliff-hanger.

If you like post-apocalyptic sci fi thrillers, why not grab this trilogy and get stuck in.

I wonder how Catherine will bring the story to a close in the next book.

This book really took off very quickly. It was just as good, maybe even better than the first book in the series! I was amazed with the story, characters, and the writing all the way through!

The story was realistic beyond means. I reflected so much as I read. It was a powerful read none the less to say the least! I enjoyed the book that took place after a time line of the first. I did not expect the epicness to be as extreme as it was! Death is all around the world, can the world be saved? The book was paranormal , yes, but how vivid it was made me fear what our world could become! Freaking amazing read!

If you have not read the first book, please do it right this minute. Do not walk-RUN!!! The author is amazing, and this story is not to be missed, the first book helps all make sense. Highly recommend this must read!

This book is no different. This is a well written story where the characters bring the story to life. I found them to be connectable and had me coming back for more. I enjoyed how they pulled me into the story from the start. This is a fast paced story that I read in one sitting as it is that awesome. This is an entertaining and easy to read story that you don’t want to miss, a must read. A story where life mates and rejection are real things. I really enjoyed this story.

This book is a short story that I absolutely LOVED!! I REALLY, REALLY hope that the author decides to either continue it later on or add to it somehow. I would love to read more of this story!! So, every 10 years the Gods choose a paranormal being, who was unjustly killed, and they get a second chance at life. Nice right? Well, there are rules though!! First, you only have three days to find and choose a mate. Second, you can’t use any powers to influence said mate (love potions, mind control, etc etc). Third, you can only choose one person. If that person doesn’t work out for any reason, you go right back to purgatory. No Second Chances within this second chance. Your chance is just lost! And lastly, you have to tell your chosen mate about the challenge and said rules. Maybe not so easy after all! Quinlan is the chosen one this decade and boy oh boy does he have his work cut out for him! The gods have placed him in a hotel, in wolf territory, and in the middle of nowhere. These Gods must be out to get him! At least they gave him three changes of clothes and some cash, but funny thing is that they forgot underwear! What the heck?! Was that on purpose?? What are these silly Gods up to!!? Day one is passing quickly. By the time he catches some animals to eat (as he is a vampire) and looks around the SUPER small town he’s ready to get some sleep and work out a plan for this challenge. Scoping out the town at night might bring some more answers about the town and it’s residents. Will he be able to find a mate time? Three days in a small town with less people could be a big issue. Maybe he needs to take a day to travel somewhere else and up his chances? With not much money he won’t be able to get far. Should he let the alpha in the area know about his challenge? He doesn’t want to tick off the locals and have a wolf war on his hands too! Man oh man you are in for a treat with this one! Like I said it is a short story, but the author packs in some great stuff in those few pages. Give it a shot and see what Quinnlan ends up doing AND what he ends up dealing with.

If you are even the slightest bit into stories of the paranormal and steamy romance, I would take a shot on this book! (And even if you aren’t because you will be.) This author is excellent at telling stories that are intriguing and making paranormal characters not only relatable but compelling. I picked up this book and could not put it down. I love paranormal stories – not so much romance, but I loved this one. Quinnlan Trinity is a vampire who must choose a mate in three days or be sent back to and remain in the afterlife. This creative story will keep your eyes glued to the pages as they flip. It is easy to read and get lost in. 5 stars.

Oh my stars, the intensity and drama of this story! I absolutely loved it. This book is just as much, if not more, as good as the first book (Quirk of Destiny). The writing is superb. The suspense builds like a thriller movie. You can almost here music building as you are reading. That plot feels so realistic; it almost scares me because it could happen. The elite are out to take control of our world. Honestly, this plot leaves you thinking, a lot about some major issues in our world. The author includes a lot of current topics going on in our current events. The characters are superb. Good guys, bad guys, they all have such detail to them. The interlopers should have been taken out as soon they started causing problems. And that cliffhanger!!!!…..I will be moving on to book 3. I don’t recommend starting anywhere other than book 1 with this trilogy. You must read it if you love suspense/thrills. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Wonderfully done.

Lucianna has been Kidnapped and Master Catteneo has been tasked to recuse her and bring her back into the fold. Catteneo decides to seek the help of the most powerful seer and when he arrives, he is stopped in his tracks by the grand-daughter, Alessia, who does not trust the vampire with her precious grandmother.

Although in the end Alessia is destined to help Catteneo with his quest and the two start having feelings for each other, although Alessia is a different type of woman to Catteneo as he is used to people following his orders and this woman has her own sassy and determination with the tasks ahead which infuriates him. Can they locate Luccianna and complete the tasks along the way and not let the attraction get in the way.

This is the fifth book in the series and although I felt this could be read as a stand alone so insight in the first four books does give you a grounding to the world of the Master of the Consulate. I love the way this series draws you into the stories and you feel like you are engaged and part of the world that Sylvia Black creates.

This book delves deeper into the world and brings together two unlikely companions but as the story goes through you see the attraction building and creating the love story between these beautiful characters. The story is fast paced, full of suspense and thrilling to read as always, the intensity of the story has you at the end of your seat trying desperately to turn the next page to see what happens. If you are a fan of the paranormal world, then this has it all.

I can’t wait for the next instalment in this series, thank you for allowing us into your world.

This is a great quick read. I have loved every boon this author has wrote and this is another one to add to that list. This author does an amazing job of making paranormal romances gripping and captivating. Even though this is a short read the story feels complete and not left unfinished or like its missing parts as some short stories do.

Quinnlan has been give the opportunity of a second chance at life. The catch is he has to find his mate within 3 days. The additional snag is there is no second guessing or changing his mind once he has made a choice.
When he first meets Garrett he is in a bad way after being beaten up by a wolf pack. Quinnlan has a choice does he save his life and in doing so accept him as a mate or does he let him die? What will be Garrett’s reaction when he find out the consequences of that choice and can Garrett really be Quinnlan’s mate or he is the wrong choice and Quinnlan’s signed himself back into purgatory?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Quinnlan Trinity has been chosen from the paranormal world to get a second chance at life. Every ten years the gods choose someone who has been unjustly killed and give them a second chance. Except the gods seem a bit twisted as there are strings attached to this second chance. Not only does Quinnlan only have three days to find a mate but the gods have dropped him in an abandoned motel in the middle of nowhere. How is he supposed to find a mate in a place in the middle of nowhere?

Then Quinnlan finds a man bleeding out after an encounter with a group of wolf shifters. To save the man’s life he must feed him his own blood but in doing so this would bond him forever as his mate. He would also have to tell the man once he recovered that they are now bonded together forever, and Quinnlan has no idea what the man’s reaction will be. In either scenario he risks being doomed back to the afterlife.

Another intriguing and entertaining story by this author. Although the story was short, it packed a punch. The characters were interesting, and the scenes were well developed. I loved that the character of Quinnlan had so many facets to his personality. He was strong, courageous, kind, and witty. The added bits of humor throughout added a nice element to the other serious aspects of the storyline. A great read!

The characters a very unique as is the plot. I like how the story all be it short had enough backstory and enough filler that it really brought everything together. I like how the chemistry is between the lead and his mate. I really am very impressed with the way the author’s writing style empowers the characters and draws in the reader.

Quinnlann Trinity, a vampire who was unjustly killed is brought back to life and given a second chance at life from the gods. Every ten years, a being is chosen to undergo this chance for a new life however, Quinnlan must find a mate in three days, and it doesn’t help that he has been dropped off in the middle of nowhere. Dumped in an abandoned motel far from anything remotely resembling civilization, how the heck is he to find a mate? Quinnlan only has two days left when he finds a guy bleeding because of a pack of wolf shifters, another paranormal set of beings. Does Quinnlan save him by giving him his blood and choosing him as a mate or does he leave him to die? By giving him the blood also means that Quinnlan has chosen him as a mate, but will he be accepted by this man or rejected? You must read the book to find out! It’s a great short story that was easy to read as the story progressed rapidly and naturally. The characters are relatable and easy to empathize with. Pick it up and go for a spin with the sexy Quinnlan and his mate!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Paranormals who were killed unjustly may very well get another chance at life… if they are chosen by the gods. Once every ten years this happens and this time it’s Quinns turn. Except there us a catch, you must find, choose a mate within 72 hours or you go back to purgatory… if they don’t reciprocate your choice you also go back to purgatory…forever.

Quinn wakes stark naked in the middle of nowhere in an abandoned motel with 3 days worth of clothes (no undies! Thanks gods!) A small pile of cash and 3 days to figure it all out. As a Vampire he doesn’t much tolerate the sun and he’s not allowed to manipulate his chosen.
I don’t want to ruin surprises but this story line is original, creative, fun, full of secrets and unraveling Mysteries and snarky attitude.
I highly reccomend this book a quick read that will keep you entertained to the last page!
