4 stars
Werewolves and Magekind battle in this powerful new installment of the Mageverse series. This story was straightforward and can be easily read by itself.
La Belle is known as the official court seducer. She awakens men to their magical heritage by sleeping with them which releases their potential. However, her job is dangerous because if the men cannot handle the influx of power, they go insane at which point she must kill them swiftly. When one of her new recruits named Davon is accused of murdering an innocent werewolf, she knows that Davon cannot be guilty because she would have sensed madness in him. She finds herself investigating with the handsome if very stuck up and famous knight, Tristan. They soon discover that Davon was spelled into killing the poor young werewolf by an evil werewolf named Warlock. But will they be able prove that Davon is innocent before the revenged minded werewolves start a war?
To add to their troubles, Belle and Tristan have never gotten along well together. Tristan understands the need for Belle's position at court, but he disapproves and secretly wants her for himself. As they race to prove Davon's innocence, they also find themselves trying to defend themselves against a Warlock who is building his own evil army while trying to rescue a powerful werewolf witch named Miranda who happens to be Warlock's daughter. Can they defeat Warlock and save Davon and Marianda in time?
This was a quick and sensual read. I really liked Belle. She is independent and doesn't let Tristan push her around! I also liked how comfortable Belle is with her sensuality! In contrast, Tristan seems aloof but he hides his deep passion. When the two main characters finally `get together' it is scorching. I liked how the author explores Davon's point of view. Davon is a doctor and a healer but not a destroyer. He is tortured by the knowledge that he has killed an innocent even if he was manipulated magically. I also liked reading about Miranda. She is on the run. A good person/werewolf, that happens to have an evil and blood thirsty father but fights against being a victim. This book also explores how Belle and Tristan each have their own backgrounds and how each of their friends try to warn or prevent their relationship from progressing because they fear the other person will hurt them. Both characters have issues and are lonely souls that actually have a lot in common. I enjoyed their developing relationship. The storyline is very involving and easy to read. As the characters grow and familiar ones return, the depth of the Mageverse keeps expanding. I also liked that this book wraps up tightly and I hope to read more about Davon and the intriguing witch Miranda!
Magical and seductive this is already one of my favorites in the Mageverse series.

Awesome, with some spectacular twists, Aug 8 2011
By Gwen G - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Master of Shadows (Mass Market Paperback)
This book picks up where the last one ended, but if you've never read a Mageverse novel before you can still easily follow along and not feel lost. Several astounding twists follow in rapid order and make this book outstanding all on it's own. Belle and Tristan's romance is full of obtacles and twists and turns but all of the usual sexual exploits are there and as sensational as any Angela Knight story. Well worth reading weither or not you've ever read a Mageverse novel.

super romantic fantasy, Aug 2 2011
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Master of Shadows (Mass Market Paperback)
For centuries La Belle Coeur understands her role is to help new vampire magekind to convert to their new lives by seducing them. Knight of the Round Table Tristan distrusts all females ever since his wife Isolde betrayed him (and his peers) ages ago.A newly transformed vampire Davon Fredericks kills seventeen year old Jimmy Sheridan a Direkind werewolf, which ignites tension between the paranormal species to a point where a war seems likely. Davon claims King Arthur assigned him the sacred duty of executing the teen. Belle and Tristan team up on an investigation; as each suspects the sworn enemy of Arthur the evil werewolf wizard Warlock caused the lethal incident to provoke bloody combat that also would expose the magekind to humanity. While fighting their attraction to one another, Belle and Tristan try to prevent a war like none ever before.
The latest Mageverse romantic fantasy (see Master of Smoke and Master of Fire) is a terrific entry as Angela Knight provides a strong tale of a world on the brink. Warlock is at his diabolical best heating the growing rage of the Dire wolves who have had twelve dead at last count while Ms. Knight's knights struggle to prevent the combat by seeking evidence to prove they are not the serial killers of werewolves. With a touching romance between a misanthrope and a whore, fans will relish Master of Shadows while also looking forward to what the warlock conjures next.
