Vengeance and Venom: Blood Descendants Universe Kindle Edition
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 proposal: 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 readers: Vengeance and Venom features spicier content, more explicit language, and darker themes than Keary Taylor books of the past.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2025O snap, Ares Hunt was top tier. Swoon. This books follows Lana and Ares who try the whole fake fiance trope and of course fail. Lana is super smart and knows how to stand up for herself, I absolutely love it. World building is good for the amount of pages it is, the tension is awesome and so is the spice. I've read the House of Royal series and loved it. Although this crossovers a bit you don't need to necessarily read those books. Omg I can't wait to see what happens next!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2025This book is my first introduction to this world. I did like it, I just found the vampire lore strange. The end, of course, has a cliffhanger.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2025I’m not even sure where to begin with this one. This was my first read from Keary Taylor and it did not disappoint.
From the moment I started this book, I was hooked. She draws you in from the start and just keeps you hooked as the story builds. The man that is Ares is every bit the god he is named after. 🥵 I instantly added him to the list of book boyfriends.
This story is definitely fast paced which is different from the typical slow burn I normally read. I’m not complaining as I actually enjoyed the fast pace of Ares and Lana’s story. I loved the way their relationship grew even despite the time and “baggage” between. The way they were able to help each other without even realizing it. I definitely have favorite quotes from this book. It does end on a cliffhanger, which normally I hate but this one just has me on edge for book 2.
Keary Taylor has made a new fan of me with one book! I can’t wait to see what else she has in store for us readers in the future!!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2025Fast-paced action with slow burn paranormal romance set in modern day with all our luxuries-motorcycles, gorgeous glittering gowns and black credit cards 😏.
I loved this book! I was hooked from the very beginning when Lana aka Vengeance walks right into a dangerous “red party.” She’s such a BA.
Meet your new book boyfriend, Ares aka Venom. He’s rich af, rides a motorcycle, and is genuinely kind. What more could you ask for?
Lana wants to find her friend and Ares thinks there’s something going on behind the scenes with his vampire mafia vibes dad. Is there more to these red parties than meets the eye? They team up to get their answers. Ends on a cliffhanger if you weren’t hooked already, but you will be.
This was my first Keary Taylor book and I will definitely be checking out her other books!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2025🖤 First, let me start by saying I'm a SUCKER for vampires... Especially hot vampires... Ladies and Gentleman, I believe I just fell in love with Ares Hunt. He's now at the top of my Vampire Boyfriend List. I also loved our strong female character, Lana Kinkade. She's bad ass and will stop at nothing to find her best friend, Ophelia, with the help of Ares, who is Lana's total opposite.
🖤 " Buried Six Feet Deep. Here Lies Lana's Soul, Snatched From Her Chest On The Fourteenth Of June By A Man With Tattooed Hands & Chaos In His Eyes "
🖤 This is book 1 in the Blood Decendent Universe. I can't wait for book two and hope to be an ARC reader for that one as well.
🖤 This was my first book by Keary Taylor & It will not be my last. To find out she has a whole Vampire Universe of Books, some that crossover is insane and I look forward to reading them all.
🖤 Dark Romance
🖤 Spicy Content
🖤 Explicit
🖤 Dark Themes
- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2025I just gotta say how dare you end the book like that? Now I need book 2 asap
I gave 4 stars because of the cliffhanger.
Lana aka Vengeance is set to find her friend who went missing at one of the red party events and it’s there where she stumbles with Ares aka venom who is investigating these red parties to destroy his dad, Ares decides they can help each other and proposes a fake engagement.
I loved Lana even though she’s only human she doesn’t back down from a vampire, who doesn’t like a tough baddie and Ares I need an Ares in my life, he is so caring and protective of her and I’m so glad he was the first to confess his feelings.
It is a slow burn there were moments where it felt like Lana completely forgot about her mission of finding her friend nut who can blame her when she was distracted by a hot vampire, I was wondering how the story would go and how we would find answers about her friend’s disappearance, now I have my own theories and can’t wait for next book to come out and find out more, in the meantime I’ll read the other books in this universe.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2025I absolutely loved this book. Thru the writing, I felt like I could see everything. Ares is such a power house. Lana is a friend anyone would want on their side. This book kept me on my toes thru all the action. This is the first time I have read any works of this author. I was absolutely in love until the end...... a cliffhanger, really? Lady, I was already gonna read the next book. Now, I have to try to be patient and wait for the next one in the series. I am not patient when it comes to amazing stories. I guess I am gonna have to read her other books until she decides to give me more. I hope it is not a long wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars a book to sink your teeth into
Well Keary has done it again, what a delicious tale. The world builds quite fast and I’m also happy that her other series ties into this series The Royals series was really good… defo recommend a read of them. The characters are strong Alpha male MMC and sassy MFC. Ares better get his Bike growling so he can be the knight in hot leather and give chase. Can’t wait for the next edition in the series. I do feel there is more to the MFC ? An underlying secret to family origin perhaps hmmm what a cliffhanger though
