Vampire Masters of Italy #5

by Ava Ward

When our darkest enemy rises, can we unite all Fae and Vampires—to bring him down, for good?

Quinn, Lucca, and I have saved the Dark Haven of Florence from the Vampire Council, but at great cost.

Now, we face our worst enemy, the Gold Eyed Revenant, who makes all nightmares come to life.

As we seek out a mysterious Dark Fae sect to break free of the Gold Eyes’ power, we must succeed, or die trying.

We must claim an ancient relic to undo the Gold Eyes—his ruined heart, torn from his immortal chest and stashed somewhere beneath Florence.

But to do so, we face a dire do we stay at the Red Letter Hotel Florence and protect everything we hold dear from the forces that threaten us?

Or do we risk it all and descend into darkness to find our greatest light?

And vanquish all our foes, at last.

From an Amazon bestselling author in Paranormal Romance & Fantasy Romance, the Vampire Masters of Italy is a spicy dark fae fantasy romance with a hot vampire fae love trio. For the best experience, the books should be read in order.

ok the ending ruined it all for me

Trying to compare VISION OF A KNIGHT by Raphael. The two. CLEARLY FEMALE ANGELS to Quinn and LUCCA and insinuating that the clearly male (while slightly effeminate in face) is ARIANA. Makes absolutely no sense
You would have done better to use BOTTICELLI’S BIRTH OF VENUS
While still a good story
Oftentimes annoying too “flowery”
It was still a good conclusion but I could seriously do without to allegory of the painting cause those two FEMALE ANGLES ARE NOTHING LIKE Lucca & Quinn It’s a sour note to end on. Also I’m upset they lost the music. That makes no sense either .. and it was far too easy for Ariana to just.. give GOLD EYES what he wanted .. without explanation of how it was so easily done all all the bizxiliion times I’ve endured ever single inside inner brain monologue and thought of each one of them.. this was the time we actually needed it .. so there’s that. I’m glad this is concluded and while I had a banter with the author about why .. Layla and her 10 dragons and other members of the RED LETTER HOTEL in different countries did not help them or have any part to play even though gold eyes played a part in Layla and Adrian Dusk Reginald . Etc. Should have done something to help I know they would have heard of the struggles. Since Quin was in fact already on the council of the red letter hotel and why the INSESORIA HAD NO PART IN THIS EITHER made no sense
I’m not happy with her .. feeble explanation of Quinn would never ask or accept help .. sorry no “asking and accepting” .. should never be required or needed when help is so available and friends and cohorts are abundant and the intercesoria should most definitely forced a hand to involve themselves so no no no .. I do not accept this feeble explanation.. of them being “on their own” in dealing with gold eyes So many others were involved in the final battle why not them for if gold eyes won .. they all would have been destroyed too
This is a clear case of … go back and do it again.

This book brings us to the ending to what has been a beautiful romantic, hot and steamy, vampire/fae/human triad series, and though I feared we would not get so much of the hot and steamy scenes since our trio is so involved in all the troubles going on in Florence, I was pleasantly surprised as the steam was full on. Quinn. Lucca and Ariana are out to rid themselves once forever from the hold the Golden Eyes revenant has on them, but to do this they had to seek a dark fae sect as well as find an ancient relic, needed to undo him. Both things were difficult to do, however our trio was adamant and amidst all their other problems they went to Venice in search of the sect. Leaving their Hotel in Florence was a difficult decision but one that needed to be made. I love the beautiful, magical carnivalesque description of the dark fae city in the twilight realm, where there is a perfect balance between light and night, day and night in their hidden city. There upon meeting the Sages they undergo their trials, whereby they have to go within to find their fears and face them, only thus could they break the hold of the Golden Eyes and be able to raise the music within them. Furthermore they were to defeat the Council of Rome, as well as dethrone Lucca's tyrannical father, the King of the summer fae. This they do by raising allies, calling for a revolution to bring about equality, and the right to live freely for all, be these vampires, fae as well as dark fae. This book is riveting, and very powerful, and gives us the beautiful ending the series deserves. Thank you Ms. Ward for another brilliant series, a true pleasure to read!

Action-packed ending to another great series from Ava Ward

Quinn, Lucca and Ariana are put to the test throughout this final book in the series. Their enemies are closing in but their friends are ready to fight for them. There's a lot of action but there's also time for some loving too.
Ava's rich language and sumptuous detail is very evocative, so fitting for the magical setting and the elegant Fae and Vampires.
It was wonderful to see how the three of them fought so hard to reach their happy ever after, and to see their friends and family also happy too. Ava gave us enough hints so it was easy to imagine their future and how happy they would be.
This has been a really good series, set in the Twilight Realm as was the first series, the Royal Dragon Shifters of Morocco, and the ongoing series, Dragons of Blood and Bone. I hope Ava has more series planned for the Twilight Realm.

Dark Fae's Destiny is the successful conclusion of 5 books in the Vampire Masters of Italy series. This book was fast paced and before we got half way through I was wondering where else there was left for the story to go. But as usual, Ms Ward's imagination did not fail and soon the story was racing off in different directions. This keeps the reader invested in the story and wondering where things could possibly go next as the three heroes bounce from one impossible situation to the next. But finally we find that love conquers all (often if very hot ways!) and all is brought to a happy and peaceful conclusion.
This author is a unique story teller with the ability to transport you to amazing places and experiences. Enjoy!

Ariana, Quinn and Luca. The final book in the amazing, super hot series. So many trials these trio has to overcome, The Revenant, the summer King, the Dark coven its a lot but its so seamless that we just feel like we went on a Journey and Saw the amazing Dark fae city in the Twilight realm, we Discover long Lost relics... Its very imersive. Even on the most Dark of Times our guys make time for themselfs and that makes it so much better. Ava Ward is a great author. Another fantastic made colection .

I am beyond geeked out with the 5th and final book Dark Fae's Destiny, Vampire Masters of Italy 😍 by Ms. Ava Ward. I loved it from start to finish. The layered descriptive world building, the steamy romance, the epic battles, the nail biting edge of your seat "How are they getting out of that!?!?" "Oh goodness what's next!?!?" Couldn't have been better. A definite must read series! ~Queen Nuba~

In the final book of Ava Ward's Vampire Masters of Italy series, she treats us to another wonderfully descriptive experience. Quinn, Ariana and Lucca's story gets more intense. It was another enthralling and masterful work. I was taken away to worlds and realms with their music. The book was well written and beautifully done. I was given an ARC and am voluntarily reviewing it

I loved this final book in the Vampire Masters of Italy series. Would our trio raise the Music and prevail or would Gold Eyes win the ultimate battle. Full of romance, mystery and magic I couldn’t put it down until I finished. A worthily end to an amazing series.

This is a wonderful saga of Ariana, Quinn, and Lucca. Danger and twists drew me into their story as well as all the other characters. I wish there was more. I received an arc of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Great ending to the series. The suspense and trials continue until the very end and things wrap up nicely for our triad. There is also plenty of steam and emotions as well.

This is one smokin' hot, reverse harem, fantasy finally for the dark fae and vampires of Florence, Italy. Quinn, Lucca and Ariana outdid themselves in the full on tantric activity, leveling up all members of their fae and vampire kissed community. Every one of them could feel and experience and lend their energies to our trio to combat the Vampire Council of Rome and the Gold Eyes. The dark fae sages in Florence assisted Lucca, Quinn and Ariana but not before putting them through a test to prove their emotional strength and stability. This is one test I didn't think they'd come back from, another was the ability to defeat the Gold Eyes, was that even possible? Ms. Wards is a master at creating the most improbable situations to defeat or escape from, and thank god most of her protagonist succeed. Another quality is the writer's eye for exquisitely lavish detail that gloriously describes her surroundings, like Carnevale di Firenze, and an eye for designer apparel rich in detail. All of her twilight realm settings are out of the world, like Hotel Palazzo Versaces Macau only 300 times grander. Ms. Wards stories are exciting, passionate and full of intrigue, deceit, and villains you love to hate. Her finale pulls out all the stops.
