Inspirational novels

[Marcus]

So, I'm retrieving some Dark Age clan's novel.
I've been pretty disappointed by the Brujah one, which I found very slow and boring - perhaps also due to me not being mothertongue - while I'm enjoying a lot the Lasombra one.

I'm looking for the next novel to read. I'm looking for a good balance between intrigue, action and, why not, some good inspiration for disciplines. There is a huge abuse of Celerity, Vigor and a bit of Obfuscate but I'm struggling to find entertaining part with Majesty, Dominate, Animalism.

I know such novels are from Masquerade but feel free to suggest also other kind of Novels. Whatever you think would fit

I was thinking to proceed with Gangrel or Nosferatu though.

A Hunger Like Fire has really useful depictions of all the stuff you're looking for. It's a bit dated in terms of setting, but it's a good primer on how vampires operate. It's got a fun mystery at its core, and it provides an insider view of all the clans, though primarily Nosferatu and Ventrue. There's a lot of Dominate shenanigans, and having Animalism is kind of a minor plot point for one of the main characters.

Thanks. I'll go for that so

Not really novels, but the short story bits in the Requiem clanbooks should be of interest too.
Ventrue: Lords of Damned has a ludricous amount of Dominate abuse, both discreet and flagrant, all across the book for example.
