Evangeline, a Master For Tonight Companion Novel
“I know what you think of me. I know the names you’ve called me. Psycho. Insane. Demented. And worse… so much worse. But you don’t know me. You don’t know anything about me. All you know is what Julian told you. You don’t know the extent of my tragedies.” – Evangeline
After being left to die in the rays of the morning light, Evangeline is rescued by her Maker. Troubled, and facing demons of his own, he demands that she reconcile her torrid history and justify his saving her.
Angry and terrified, but not alone, she unfurls her secrets for the ultimate judgement.
After centuries of anguish, what would you become? Would you be an angel? Does Evangeline deserve to burn?
Evangeline is a companion to the Master For Tonight duet. It can be read as a standalone, but it is not recommended, because throughout the book, references are made to scenes and characters from the Master For Tonight novels.

First, I've got to tell you, the first two chapters left me breathless, and that was just the begining! From there on out It was just raw emotions, any you can think of and some you never thought of.....
The one who tricked Evangeline with words of love, lied to her, used her as a sex slave, abused and tortured her, not to mention the one who turned her and then abandoned her, drove her into a kind of a frenzy that made her search for someone that would love her, belong to her forever. Someone that would not be taken away from her or leave her. But time and time again she is left alone, broken, and tormented.....
Now her maker, Bastian, is back and he has someone very special to Evangeline with him. Could this be the redemtion she seeks? Her joy is short lived however when she learns what her maker wants of her. ( and he is sounding more insane by the minute) Will this new round of torment end with her being forced to meet the sun?
Evangeline became more real to me as she continues to develope through the telling of her story. The amazing detail put into each scene made me "see" it happening, and I could "feel" her sorrows as well as her joy. I can't remember the last time a story moved me to tears as this one has. Especially for a character I so recently disliked. I do recommend this to adults only. (explicit sex scenes) Do You Think Your Ready?

Jackpot! Elaine Barris has delivered yet another winner with Evangeline, and boy does she deliver in spades!!! She never fails to tease, tantalize and entertain her readers with her amazing skill, astounding imagination and perfect prose. We were first introduced to Evangeline in Master for Tonight 1 and 2, but this is Evangeline's story, from her point of view. After I read the last page, I just sat there for what seemed like an eternity - I was completely blown away. The story is well developed, well executed, dark, exciting, powerful, thrilling, riveting, soul searching, introspective, romantic, arousing, seductive and sensual. These are only a few of the words that come to mind after reading this story. The dialogue is intelligent, exceptionally well written and flows beautifully. Ah, the characters, they are the heart and soul of this story. They are captivating, fascinating, engaging, raw and sexy as sin. The author skillfully combines these elements into a wonderfully entertaining paranormal chronicle filled to the brim with intrigue, suspense, romance and hope. Simply Brilliant! Deliciously dark, seriously sexy, completely captivating, thoroughly compelling and definitely entertaining! I was totally spellbound from beginning to end. Hands down, one of the best vampire books I have ever read and I've read too many to even count! Congratulations Ms Barris, you've outdone yourself again! I can hardly wait to read what you come up with next!

This story is so emotional. Evangeline is a villan but after reading this book you will see her in a new light. I hated her in book one and 2 but now I have a whole new insight on why she is so bad. She has been having her world torn apart piece at a time over and over exposed to so much grief beyond imagination. She has went through eternity with a burden that I can not even comprehend NO SPOILERS
We all know life is a rollercoaster can you imagine having love and friends and you dreams ripped from you not one time but over and over. This is enough to drive anyone mad and to lash out. Evangeline does good job lashing out and still no piece . This book as far as I am concerned is a masterpiece. The author has captured all the emotions and feelings so very vivid that you are drawn into all the pain with Evangeline . The book takes you to Evangelines beginning and through years and years as a vampire. If this is immortality I would want no part of it
I laughed and cried and just plain got mad reading this. My emotions were all over the place. I LOVED this book Congratulations on a great book Elaine Barris

Arc review
First and foremost this is a companion novel, you must read Master for Tonight Duet first.
Evangaline, she the evil, nasty, vengeful vampire maker of the delicious Julian <3 - we don't always know why some characthers are just bad, but thanks to this companion novel you may just change your thoughts on Evangaline, then again you may not!
Evangaline tells her story through the years, her trials and tribulations that mould her into the person we know in MFT, the were times I was like go E, others I was like maybe a tad overkill E! I also felt sorry for her..... I know, I worry about myself sometime, how I can like the baddies in books?
If E isn't interesting enough, you get to meet Bsstisn, and I really liked him too - I'm a lost hope!
Can't say too much more as I don't want to do spoilers, this is a must read if you've read master for tonight. In case your wondering, yes you do get some Julian in book too!

Wow, this was some read.
For those who have read the master for tonight books, you will have already met Evangeline.
This book tells her story, it describes in detail the events in her life that helped shape her into the sadistic monster she'd become.
Love, lust, abuse, betrayal, revenge and murder, Evangeline has suffered it all.
As the madness consumes her Evangeline's life hangs in the balance, can there be redemption for a vampire so twisted by hate and jealously? can her unbeating heart really feel love and bring her the peace she's looking for ?
This is a well written graphic and at times emotional read, never mind burning to ashes from the sunlight, the sizzling sex scenes will do that. Gotta love them uninhibited vamps !
By the end of this book you'll either love her or loath her but you definitely won't forget her.

This was given as an ARC as long as I gave my honest review!!!
I have been waiting for a book about Evangeline who was a character from Elaine's Master For Tonight I&II.
This book was SO worth the wait.
Evangeline was absolutely amazing. It was everything I had hoped for in a book. I had some questions in the other books about her background and Elaine answered them all.
I don't ever give spoilers away and it's hard not too either, but what I can say is EVANGELINE IS WONDERFUL!!! ❤️
Thank you Elaine for this amazing book and thank you for taking me along the journey that Evangeline was on!! It was OUTSTANDING !!!

I was giving this book for an honest review:This was a wild ride of madness. In A Master for Tonight, you really hate Evangeline because of the evil things that she does. In this book you find out some of the reason behind her madness. I still love to hate her. I really enjoyed this book. Get ready for a wild ride.

After reading about Evangeline in the first two books, and how she treated Julian as his master, I really didn't like her very much. She appears to be the epitome of evil and doesn't possess many redeeming qualities. However, after reading her story and seeing where she came from and the loss she suffered, I completely changed my mind!
This is a character with more depth and heartache than seems possible. Everyone and everything she has ever held dear has been taken from her. Forced into a life she never wanted by a Master that never wanted her, she is left alone and struggling to find her place. After centuries alone, she meets Julian and thinks that he may be the one to understand her. However, the life that she tried to create with Julian was lost before it began but she was too blind to realize it.
With nothing but loss and vengeance consuming her, she is finally given a second chance at redemption. But has it come too late for her?

What a life! Used before and after becoming a vampire. What a miserable life - to only have known love so rarely! Her treatment throughout her life would definitely be a reason to go mad.
Great to read Evangeline's story. To finally understand how she became such an unhappy person. Talk about looking for love in all the wrong places.

Not at all what I expected - OMG. Amazing!
Evangeline is Julian's maker. Their relationship, as described in Master From Tonight I & II, will be more detailed in this story. You will get to know the story behind Evangeline's twisted behavior. You will learn so much, you'll be on an emotional rollercoaster. You may not sleep from the time you begin reading until you reach the end.
In this story, Evangeline comes face to face with two men from her very distant past - one she hates, the other she loved. But can her heart love again?
If you haven't read Master For Tonight I & II yet, I strongly recommend you read them both first. Then brace yourself for this one.

Evangeline
Evangeline by Elaine Barris was a bittersweet conclusion to a character readers loved and loathed in the same instance. Finding love, only to lose it repeatedly and living a difficult and horrifying existence is something that many readers can unfortunately relate to. The revenge that many of us dare to even think of, Evangeline exacted with an often-heavy heart. Her hunger to be loved is what motivates most things and we were able to comprehend all of the emotions that Evangeline fought against for so long. Her Maker Bastian, also understood her pain, but fought against his own thoughts until they encompassed his own sanity. A thrilling read and fitting conclusion to a character that readers wanted closure on.

I’m a big fan of Elaine Barris’s books she writes brilliant vampire stories and this story is about Evangeline the psycho from the other books called the Master for Tonight series 1 and 2. This is about her life and how she became the demented vampire that she was, my heart went out to Evangeline because of what she was put through so I do see the method in her madness. This is just an amazing story so thank you Elaine for this series, to say that this story is absolutely fantastic is putting it lightly I loved all of it. Fantastic story a 5 plus +++++ ⭐️ read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

An intense story that explains the past of Evangeline. Find out why she became obsessed with Julian and why she became so heartless and cruel. Can she find redemption and live with what she has done?
I highly suggest reading books one and two before reading this one. The story does have some violent scenes and some very sexual circumstances. Mature readers only.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of the book.

I wasn't sure what to expect in this book after reading about how much of a bitch she was in the first two books, but I loved how this book told her story. It made me what to pity her not hate her.. she had a horrible human life that made her the devilish vampire she became...so happy Elaine took the time to write this book!!

Yay I finally read Evangeline. I have to say this is a beautiful paperback and looks great with MFT/MFT2 this is a companion novel and technically you can read it as a stand alone but your really should read in order to get the whole background.
I have a love/hate relationship with Evangeline. You love to hate her. She's a murderer. Done horrible things over time. She's for sure had made some horrible choice in life and is a tad crazy. So needless to say Evangeline is an all around bad a**
Her background is rough. Basically treated like a whore her whole life which probably just broke her down and made Evangeline who she is. Anything she's loved has been stolen. Her background is quite heartbreaking. In MFT/MFT2 you seriously hate her as a character. Who knew in Evangeline you weren't so sure how you feel as her being a villain.
You can see what a difference time makes when MFT came out to Evangeline. The writing has improved so greatly and I have to say this is my favorite in A Master For Tonight series. It's a perfect ending all the way around. It's hard to pull off feeling bad for a serious crazy villain.
Lot's of heartbreak, sexiness, craziness in this full length novel. Highly recommend this one! But seriously read the other two in the series first.

I started Evangeline as soon as it arrived on my Kindle and loved every minute of it! All I can really say without giving the book away OMG! After reading her story, you will understand what drove Evangeline to madness and the terror she reined on not only Kate & Julian but mankind. You'll just have to read for yourself who and what brings Evangeline through her madness & does she survive!? I hope you love Evangeline as much as I did & come out with a different opinion of Evangeline. This book is a perfect fit to accompany The Master for tonight Duet. Thank you Elaine for bringing Evangeline's story to life and sharing it with us all.

Evangeline
I was so ready for this book. I hated her in the first 2 books, but getting to see what her life was like and all that she went through I felt really sorry for her. All she really wanted was someone to love and love her back just for being her. I still don't agree with what she did to Julian and Kate but now I have clarity. I wish it would have continued a little farther though with what happened after Timothy and Evangeline left. But overall it was a great book. Good job Elaine ready for your next one.
