“Having had no taste whatsoever of Angela Knight's novels, I guess I took a risk by buying the first three "Master" books without reading any reviews and paying full price instead of getting them from EBay. So what grabbed my attention? The paranormal plot. Vampires, dragons, fairies, you name it, they are all in here. As far as the Camelot legend goes, Angela Knight defies everything that has been told and creates her very own legend.

Kicking off the series is MASTER OF THE NIGHT, a story about a vampire who moonlights as a CIA agent. In order to protect mankind from self-destruction, Merlin and Nimue has created a world where mystical beings known as Magekind live in Avalon, and humans live on Earth where each nation is assigned a vampire Champion who works with mortal government. In America, Reece has been the designated Champion for over two hundred years. In all those times, never had his life been in any grave danger until he meets another agent, Erin Grayson.
When she lost her partner at the hands of the cult, Death Sabbat, Erin swore to avenge him by taking down their leader, whom she thought was Reece. But when they are both held captive, she realizes that a power beyond anything she ever imagined is manipulating them in order for the dark lord, Geirolf, to claim the ultimate power. What's worse, Reece tells her that she is descended from a powerful bloodline and their fate relies on her acceptance of her destiny - a destiny that brings great risks to her life.
Well, the opening page of the book is certainly attention-grabbing; ensuring that readers are fascinated by the twist the author has given to the legend of Arthur, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table. Imagine them living as vampires! All I could think was: Wow! This author surely has a wicked imagination. Therefore, I was really excited waiting for the story to unfold. As I said, you have to commend Knight for being very inventive. Unfortunately, the story suffers from too much sex and not enough plot and characterization. Don't get me wrong because I am certainly no prude. I have read many romance novels with some being highly sensual, but the romance was definitely lacking in this novel. However, this was still a pretty entertaining read if you're after some quick reading. And I am glad to say that the next two books are better than this so this is still a good way to start the series in order to familiarize yourself with the recurring characters. I just wish that I didn't pay full price for this, though. ”

“Love the Mageverse stories and with the introduction of the evil vampire army the plot arc is laid out for the next books”
