Vengeance and Venom (Venom and Vengeance trilogy #1)(The Blood Descendants Universe #14)

There are vampires in New York City. Turns out, they’re everywhere.

I went in to find my best friend. Ophelia disappeared without a trace after going to one of those elusive Red parties. Turns out Red parties are where vampires feed on willing humans, and where some people vanish, never to be seen again.

I went to that party for answers. What I found was a dangerously gorgeous vampire with tattoos, piercings, and a legacy as dark as the shadows he moves in—Ares Hunt. He insists I'm in way over my head. Maybe I am. But when I refuse to give up without a fight, Ares makes a he’ll help me find Ophelia, but in return, I have to pretend to be his fiancée so he can infiltrate his father's inner circle. His father, a powerful vampire, is at the heart of these Red parties, and Ares is desperate to bring him down.

Suddenly, I’m living in a world I barely understand—wearing a massive engagement ring, sharing a penthouse with Ares, and mingling with the vampire elite. Pretending to be Ares’ fiancée turns my entire world upside down. With every passing day, our business arrangement begins to blur. Ares is intoxicating. He’s a man born of darkness, filled with venom that equals my need for vengeance, but I see the protective man hidden beneath the rough exterior. He helps me face my demons. He makes me feel like I belong. And when he kisses me for the first time?

I realize Ares was right – I am in way over my head.

A note to Vengeance and Venom features spicier content, more explicit language, and darker themes than Keary Taylor books of the past.
