Master Trentino by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I laughed and I cried! Just like the book before this story flowed right along as if the others didn’t exist but at the same time wasn’t redundant for someone who has read the previous in the series. I loved the others but this is my favorite in the series so far! Still very unpredictable and keeps you sucked in so you don’t want to put it down.
Master Tuscano by Sylvia Black

I love how Master Descallia flows right into Master Tuscano but they could be read separate as well. It kept me captivated, on my toes the whole time and I wasn’t able to predict the outcome. I love the mischief and companionship between the characters as well. Would definitely recommend.

So good! I definitely got wrapped up from the first paragraph and could not put it down. I finished it in one day! That’s saying something as I have a 4 month old 🤣 I love the suspense and action. Also how the relationship between Descallia and Luce develops. The storyline keeps you guessing and does not disappoint. Can’t wait for the next one!
Master Bistrita by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Chara is worried about her friend Natalia who is a newly turned vampire Natalia is flighting alongside the Masters and her mate Master Oradea, against the rogues. Since Natalia is new in role Chara is worried about her and fells a sense of dread that something is going to happen to her. As Chara is trying to warn Natalia, Master Bistrita tells Chara there is no need to worry. Like I believe him. No amount of rational thinking would think this arrogant man that dismissed me like I was nothing would be my fated mate. For Bistrita, he figured destiny would probably never find someone to pair him with let alone a Fated mate. Then make that even more irrational to place this sassy red head in my path. Not only do I not have time for this with the Rogues and trying to gain control. Now I have to figure out a way to make Chara mine.
Master Bistrita by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is another book in the Masters of the Consulate series that involves Master Bistrita and Chara. The book starts as many of them in the series do, they are trying to keep their power as pureblood vampires and overthrow the war that is building against them. Chara works for the masters in one of their bars as a waitress and has been there for a handful of years. She is good friends with Master Oradea’s new vampire wife, Natalia (who we met in the last book). Chara feels that something bad is coming and tries to warn Natalia and the masters but is brushed away – as they claim they are aware. However, because they didn’t take her seriously, the book begins with rogue wolves entering the club and trying to harm those inside. As with all the other books, the quick meet cute between Chara and Master Bistrita presents a spark between the two that neither can deny. Master Bistrita however only builds “relationships” if a contract is involved due to his need to dominate. Chara needs to decide if he is worth his demands. She is someone that doesn’t take demands lightly and has an independence about her. Can he keep it together while the rogues are trying to get to what he wants to be his? Will she listen to him and obey him not only for her safety, but for her pleasure? And in the end will they finally see the way to ending this war?
This book has many elements to it between the love interests. The book deals with fated mates, the importance of loyalty, enemies to lovers, age gap, and yummy dark romance. This is a stand-alone like all in the series, but it is important (if you want to understand what is happening and all the characters) to read the others that came before it. For this particular book, I felt the same as I do for all of them, it was good, with good characters, but it does move quickly and the relationship aspect has no real build up – it is all of sudden – they belong together. I thought the character aspect is similar from previous books, especially on the master’s part. He is demanding and protective of what is his. She is feisty, but easily willing (some of the time) to give into the connection the two have. But as in all the other books, there are still secrets, mysteries, love, agendas, etc. to entice the readers.

Master Romano (Book Four in the Masters of the Consulate Series)
By Sylvia Black
First to Sylvia after reading five of your books you have well and truly extended my reading genre into Vampire stories. Book four is just as beautifully written as the other books in this series. I like the writing style it makes the books so easy to read and enjoyable. In this book we follow Romano and Raven. Before you read their story, I hope you have read the series from the beginning as like I have said previously its good to get some background information. So, we have Romano who as the story suggests has a dark soul, but does he? Raven said to be smart and somewhat playful and would have no problems standing up to Romano. Out of all the Vampires and their mates, I think Romano and Raven could possibly be the best together, but this is just a personal opinion. Romano finds himself in a spot of trouble as a loyal confidant has gone wayward and as a result he is being investigated to see if he has anything to do with it, now he needs to prove his innocence. Romano says he can not trust any witches, Raven has always been afraid Vampires solely because of the stories behind them. Raven is saved by Romano which brings some sort of understanding between them and due to this they get close, and the start of their romance begins. Now these two need to be able to work together not only to hopefully save her family but also to prove the other vampires that he can be trusted. Can this be achieved? You will need to read the book to find out.

Master Trentino (Book Three in the Masters of the Consulate Series)
By Sylvia Black
Master Trentino is book three in this series. I do have to say the more books I read in this series the more I am enjoying the storyline. This book we find its centred around Trentino and Angel. It is good to see some of the characters from previous books and to read how well they engage with each other. As with Slyvia’s brilliant writings this book is another one that will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions and is another quick read. As we already know Trentino is a vampire master, Angel however as a medium can speak to the departed, her family is also part of the mafia. Her family has always hated the vampire community for as long as she can remember. Now Angel has met Trentino, and she feels that there is some sort of connection between the both of them. She has put herself in the wrong place at the wrong time and now Trentino must save her, and to save her she has now joined the vampire community which her and her family have hated for the longest time. I have to say on a personal note that this book is my favourite from what I have read so far, who knows later it could be another book. What I also liked about this book was the strength that each of the characters showed. Grab a coffee relax and read this book.

Master Tuscano (Book Two in the Masters of the Consulate Series)
By Sylvia Black
Master Tuscano is the second book in this series. This book is fast paced but is an easy read. This book centres around Christian who is another if the masters and Delilah who the Consulate does not like or approve of. Christian appears to be pig headed and will protect Delilah from anyone. As for Delilah being human, she does not stay around to hear things that she feels she does not need to listen to. Being human is one thing the Consulate sees as a problem for them. Now as with all epic stories such as this one, things go pear shaped, Christian decides he needs to turn Delilah into a vampire and basically does not care what the consulate will think as there is no way he is going to lose the one that he loves. Will Christian be in trouble with the Consulate for his move with Delilah? Really enjoying this series and so glad I decided to read the books.

Master Descallia (Book One in the Masters of the Consulate Series)
By Sylvia Black
This is my second book by Sylvia Black, which is Master Descallia the first book in the series. After reading book 11 first then coming to book one I would suggest they should not be read as a stand alone as we all know even the smallest amount of background history helps throughout the series. As I said in my book 11 review, I do not normally read vampire stories, but this series looks like it is going to be good one to read. I have to say this book is a nice quick read and has been written beautifully. This book centres around Salvatore and Lucianna. Lucianna is a detective, Salvatore is an Overlord, they are brought together to work on the disappearance of women. In order for the search for the missing women to continue, she has been given a team to collaborate with her. It is through the search interactions that he finds thee is attraction between himself and Lucianna, but why and how can is the attraction there? If you enjoy vampire stories, I think this may be shaping up to be the series you need to read.
Master Bistrita by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I’m going to be sad when these books are done. I absolutely love this series! Master Bistrita is the beginning of the end. One more book left, though the author kept you guessing. It felt like it was going to wrap up in this book and not go one more. These books are not meant to be read as standalone novels, but in consecutive order. It’s one long story told over the series, where each of the masters falls. This time it was Master Bistrita’s turn.
Chara has a lot going on. Worried about her friend, worried about what’s going on, potentially being in danger ect. Never did she expect a vampire master to be on her radar. Especially after she stood up to him and gave him a peace of mind while checking up on her friend. Never believing in fated mates that all changed after Master Bistrita came to her rescue there’s something there, which exactly needs to be explored.
Master Bistrita doesn’t have time to lust after someone, a human at that. He needs to locate Lucas to end this war with the rogues. But Chara is a presence he can’t deny. She’s more and he wants all of her. Unfortunately his worry for her is impeding his judgment while trying to finish the war.
Will Chara and Bistrita give in?
Will they locate Lucas?
Again I don’t want this series to end. I’m glad there’s one more book to look forward too! It’s so worth it! This one was good not one of my favorites but good all the same.

Master Bistrita
By Sylvia Black
I was a little lost starting this book, but it is probably more to do with me starting here and not at the beginning, once I got into the storyline of the book, I only put it down when I had to. This is the first book I have read by this author, and I have to say because of the writing style I found this book easy to read. I do not tend to read a lot of vampire stories, but I am glad I decided to give this book a go. This book the main characters are Bistrita and Chara. I did find that these two characters were a little repetitive in the way they spoke to each other, but for me it did not spoil their storyline. I also liked how strong both Bistrita and Chara’s characters were as strong as each other. To finish this book is fast paced, has quite a bit action, which I hope will keep you interested in the story.
Master Bistrita by Sylvia Black
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Master Bistrita is the 11th book in the ‘Masters of the Consulate’ series. Although it can technically be read as a stand alone since each book focuses on one vampire master and their fated mate, I would suggest reading the series since the sub plot has been going on since very early on. Plus it would make it easier to know who is who.
This time around we follow Master Bistrita and Chara. Chara is a bartender and when the two of them meet, it’s fireworks first thing. They very quickly fall in love and as a Dom/Sub relationship, there is a lot of steam. Most of the time, I love the females in this series but honestly, I found Chara desperate. She really wants to become a vampire and throw everything away for a man she just met. There wasn’t a lot of relationship building with these two. Everything just happens quickly. For a BDSM couple, I expected more steamy scenes but there were only a few.
As for the sub plot, they are still trying to hunt down Lucas. A witch is helping him to evade them at every corner so they have to find out who is helping him if they want to finally catch up to him. Their revenge has been a long time coming.

Master Bistrita is Book 11 in the Master of the Consulate series and I continue to love this series so much. I definitely recommend reading this series from the beginning as each book builds on the characters and also the fight against the evil rogues. Getting lost in the story, Sylvia does an excellent job of luring me in with Vampire Masters, rogues, witches, suspense, danger, betrayals but also spice and everything nice. This story really took me on a roller coaster and anticipation and definitely did not disappoint…
Master Bistrita is a dominant vampire and very loyal. Meeting his match in Chara, he never though it would come down to fated mates. When danger lurks even right next to them….the fight to survive is only the beginning of Bistrita and Chara….
I cannot wait to see what the final book brings….
Master Bistrita by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Again the author continues to write a series that is completely spectacular and I was thrilled to get to read this next story in the series. While these are standalone stories all with HEA, because of the running storyline of the rogues attempting to take out the purebloods, it might be easiest to start at the beginning of the series, so you can personally get to know the other characters in the stories. Master Bistrita and Chara have quickly become 2 of my favorites together, I enjoy that he seems to be taking the dominance piece to a higher level than seen before in the other stories, but that Chara seems to make him break all of the rules he has created. It is interesting getting to see vampires, witches, werewolves, and humans working together to take down the rogues. I can wait to read book 12 and see how it all ends.

Another great book by the author. I have read most if not all of the series. Each time I picked up a book, I enjoyed the story and learning about the different pure blood vampires masters and their mates throughout the series. The connection the couples have with each other and with the others in their master group is fighting the rogue vampires. I suggest the books be read in order as much as possible to be able to connect the story from the beginning.

Master Bistrita (Masters of the Consulate Book 11) by Sylvia Black. I’m going to start by saying I’ve not read all of these books but I was still able to understand the plot and characters. This is a paranormal vampire series and its really good. Its the story of Bistrita who is a dominant and he is set on making Chara submit to his will. Chara is very strong willed and is not going to go willingly. They are fated mates but Chara is determined to not be owned by someone. She really wants to be a vampire but she’s not willing to sell her soul for it. Chara is very independent and not really into being owned by anyone but she can’t deny the sexual attraction between them. There is also a war that is going on and much of the story revolves around that taking away from their romance. This story is full of greed, Betrayal, dark underworld, romance and war. Its a great Paranormal Vampire read!

Another Amazing instalment in the Masters of the Consulate series that will keep you turning page after page while keeping you on the edge of your seat. The whole time I was reading it I had such mixed feelings…I wanted to hurry up because I had to know what was going to happen but I also didn’t want it to end. LOL I know we can’t have it both ways but wouldn’t it be good if we could! This book takes us further again into the battle against the rogues and yet more betrayal stings hard. Master Bistrita finds his fated mate in Chara, who proves to be a challenge at times herself.
I hope book 12, which will be the exciting conclusion to this fantastic series, isn’t too far away..I just have to know what’s next!!!!!!

3.5*<br />This is the 11th book in the series and the only one I have read. It certainly worked as a stand alone as the back story is touched on and discussed in a way that you can follow but I feel you may enjoy more if read in order, saying this the Character development continues and the world is described in a way that you can visualise it easily as you read. <br />This story follows Master Bistrita and Chara, a fated mates BDSM relationship that could have been delved into a little more, and their story feels a little like it takes a step to the side as most of the storyline leans towards the hunt for someone betraying the Consulate and their mates. <br />I would certainly read more by this author to see if I gel with their style.<br />

4 Stars
Master Bistrita is the eleventh book in the Masters of the Consulate series by Sylvia Black. It is another dark paranormal romance with fated mates, vampires, shifters, witches, magic, rogues, pure bloods, politics, agendas, dramatic developments, BDSM, age gap, supernatural elements, secrets, lies, powerful foes, unexpected allies, danger, tension, intrigue, chemistry, sizzle, action, and more.
This is Master Bistrita and Chara’s story- which is a dark, tense, romantic suspense-that not only tells their story, but also helps build onto the bridging story which has been developing over the course of the series.
Again, as with the rest of the series, this is told from a duel POV- which helps deliver a fuller perspective- while building a bigger picture of developments.
There is a lot going on here, and a large ‘cast’ of characters- delivering a fast-paced read that’s descriptive and detailed.
The next is instalment — “Master Slobozia” (Book #12) releases in October, and I’m curious to see where we go from here.
Happy Reading…
Thank you, Sylvia Black!

If you like paranormal romance with some action tied in then you’ll love this book. It has sexy vampires, werewolves, and witches all trying to coexist and keep the peace between them and the humans.

It’s fast paced, suspenseful and keeps you wanting more.
Master Bistrita by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This story is fast paced with suspense, danger and a little bit of spiciness and there’s a plot twist that I didn’t see coming. It kept me on edge with every chapter. I couldn’t put it down and read this book in one night.
Although all the books in the series can be read as stand alone books, they do intertwine with the story of the war going on between the pureblood vampires and the rouge vampires and shifters, so it would have made a little more sense had I read those first, but by the second or third chapter I was able to determine what was going on. There were a lot of secondary characters that I knew nothing about other than they had found their mates and I’d like to go back and read about their love stories and get to know them as well.
I really enjoyed the main characters, Master Bistrita and Chara, and their love story. I would have liked more page time for them but I enjoyed the story overall. There’s one more book in the series and I can’t wait to read the love story between the new characters and see how the war ends.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Every time Sylvia adds another dark and delicious Master to the series, I think it is my favourite, but she keeps raising the bar. I have said it before, and I am saying it again Masters of the Consulate is one of my favourite series and it is so easy to become lost to this harsh world yet there is also something beautiful within the darkness.
This dark Vampire romance series is every paranormal reader paradise. Sylvia has cleverly created multiple threads that weave a dangerous and complex world with multilayered characters, the Masters. With a world full of paranormal beings, old world factions, rogues, wars, lies, secrets there is something for even the most discerning reader.
Wickedly delightful Master Bistrita’s story is enticing, fast paced, full of suspense and let’s not forget it is sizzling hot. He is fierce, he is loyal, he is intense, he is sexy, he is deadly. Master Bistrita is on my list of book boyfriends. Ok so are the others but still. They love hard and fiercely and will stop at nothing to keep what they deem as theirs safe.
While chasing rogues Master Bistrita finds something he does not believe in but there she is in front of his face. Fated. Mate. But there is also something much worst and shocking in the foreground that he must face and that is betrayal.
Betrayal, greed, fighting for survival, feuds, a harsh and savage underworld that is so deliciously dark and gritty. With a vividly rich narrative you can feel things escalating and coalescing to an epic and explosive ending.
There are 11 books so far in the series with the twelfth still to come. Make sure you read them in order because seriously you are missing out and the Masters cross over.
Book 1 – Master Descallia
Book 2 – Master Tascano
Book 3 – Master Trentino
Book 4 – Master Romano
Book 5 – Master Catteneo
Book 6 – Master Calabrea
Book 7 – Master Campania
Book 8 – Master Sardinia
Book 9 – Master Botosoni
Book 10 – Master Oradea
Book 11 – Master Bistrita
Book 12 – Master Slobozia the last and final book to the series. I can’t wait for it to be released. Am I selfish when I say I don’t want this series to end.

Each book in this series has been wonderful, and somehow they have been refreshingly new while still being interconnected. While it is possible to read each of these as a standalone and not be completely lost, I highly recommend reading each one in the series for the full experience. After reading just one you will end up going back to pick up the rest anyways because it is so addictive! In this book we get to know Bistrita and Chara a little deeper. A war within the vampires is bound to be destructive but revenge is a strong force. Without giving anything away, I will tell you that the drama and suspense is heavier in this one more than the previous. This would be a perfect book if you enjoy intense paranormal books. Don’t forget to pick up the other books in the series as well to feed your addiction!

This is the fourth book in the Masters of the Consulates series, and what a ride it has been so far! Master Romano is in quite the predicament in this book. If you haven’t read any of the previous books in the series, you may be a little lost. It is possible to read them as standalones, but there is a lot of backstory that is continued from the previous stories. I will read paranormal anything, but this book has checked off so many boxes in my must-read list. Vampires and witches aren’t the best of friends, but when a witch named Raven is around Romano, a vampire, things are a little different. I don’t want to give anything away but know that the plot is absolutely amazing with the ‘we shouldn’t energy between these two. If you are looking for an incredible vampire romance with dramatic suspense, look no further. Give this book a chance and you will definitely be running back to pick up the first few books in the series!

This may just be my favorite by this author so far! The Masters of the Consulate series has been absolutely phenomenal only three books in. I definitely recommend reading these in the correct order as they do build upon each other. There are details in the previous two books that are important for this storyline as well although I’m sure it isn’t impossible to read them as a standalone if you’d like. The character development in such a short amount of time is unbelievable. Angel and Trentino have a very interesting relationship. Angel ends up between a rock and a hard place with the decisions that must be made. The plot is solid and unfolds at a quick but natural pace. If you are looking for a dark, fated mates vampire romance, don’t pass this one up!
