They call me Venom, but they’re the ones who are toxic.

They vow to make me theirs, and never let me go…but now something else has torn us apart.
Three men, each one broken in a different way. Each one trying to make up for that pain by hurting me, except this time, I’m fighting back.
Their obsession should have felt so wrong; dark and depraved, but it felt like the sun on my skin. That’s because I’m broken too, and all our misshaped parts somehow make a whole.
It went too far though; the games, the desire, the lies … and now we’re all in danger.
The past is catching up with us fast, and, as old foes reappear, we must fight for our very lives, never mind our happily ever after.

*Don’t miss the concluding, heart-racing book of the dark, college romance, Vipers trilogy!

The Vipers need their Venom!

This is the third and final book in the Vipers story at Verona Falls University. Things aren't always as they seem and its hard to know who your real friends are. But the Vipers definitely need their Venom!!

good read

This book was a good read. A lot went on and some things I didn’t see coming! I didn’t think I would like the Vipers but I am obsessed!

Descent mystery

The writing doesn't have a lot of errors in it, and it has a decent mystery even if that portion of the plot is fairly small compared to all the sex. The bullying in all of their books of this series is a bit more than I think is as easily brushed aside as the main female characters portrayed. These authors play a bit more fast and loose with issues of consent for my tastes, but the overwhelming Hallmark of their plots is that the female leads are doormats. I get that they're trying to do the dominant-submissive thing, which is all the rage since Fifty Shades of Gray, but it isn't necessarily my cup of tea primarily because I detest humiliation and degradation or demeaning treatment of women and loathe females who allow themselves to be treated like garbage and continue panting after the men that do it. The women are just too eager to please despite being treated abominably, are too malleable, and forgiving, and far too slow to take any action or stand up for themselves. Overall for people who think it's cute for men to grind woman down and not really have to do near enough groveling you'll probably love it in the Mysteries and interactions are developed well enough to make it an interesting read. But proceed with caution because the guys really are complete and absolute scum and there's a little groveling in here but it's mainly just one scene and not a progressive buildup of groveling so I was unsatisfied.

I was looking for fun twists and turns and couldn’t find any in this book. I was expecting the necklace with the cross to be a secret USB drive and have tons of secrets on it….nope, just a fucking necklace that they made a whole 10hr round trip drive to get for the asshole.

The whole group wasn’t together until maybe 60% through the book. There was basically 0 groveling, she just got over all the bad things and accepted the idea of them loving her even though they did really nothing but treat her like crap and she accepted that too.

I did enjoy the drama with Saint when he kissed Angelica and Vani thought more happened. She at least stood her ground for a hot minute.

The men all announced their relationship at the end of the book, although I still felt left wanting more like we got for the first group of characters.

Let me quote :


“ Hot Blood,
Hot Thoughts
Hot Deeds…
Why, they are Vipers…

Shakespeare”

,Steamy doesn't describe the added bonus. An insight to their bonding following the conclusion of the Vipers.
Strictly 18++ rating.

Oe has gone missing - who?

Rarely do you find the opportunity for a great series to come your way. Verona Falls University and all its twisted characters IS this amazing read.
Full of -:
- drama
- degradation
- mystery
- violence
* 18+++ sexual encounters

Exquisite. I am so sad the trilogy of the Vipers has come to an end. This was phenomenal. There was closure but also a new door opening.
As much as I would love to give something away, I won’t. This is a use read for all.

Family - a bonding of hearts and emotions through thick or thin.

Wow. I have to state this. I truly believe for Zane it was love at first sight. Saint and Lex are a mixed bag.

Ivani really came into her own, with her taking charge of her father, the two MC men, Jarl Olsen, and the Vipers.

This twisted tale of love and hate turned into forever. Zane, who saved Vani twice, found his voice. Lex found a solid foundation. And Saint found his muse. All in all, her reason for coming to Verona Falls was both heartbreaking and fruitful. She found herself, her men, and the crazy B's who took her sister.

Its always darkest before the dawn.

We pick up where that doozy of a cliffhanger had us dangling. All the hurt and suspicions are coming to the front and the vipers and their Venom are working their way through the hurdles. The vipers are great, but Zane is my favorite and his POVs always have me swooning. The ending was one of my favorites these authors have written. And of course it ends with this isn't the last of seeing our 2 favorite groups at Verona Falls with a new intro to what seems to be a very interesting story to tell....

Book: The Vipers' Vow: A Dark College Bully Romance (Verona Falls University Book 6)
Author: Marissa Farrar, S.R. Jones
My Rating: 5 Stars

REVIEW
The last book in the Viper's world... and what a shocker.
It picks up where Book 2 left us hanging. Does Vani fall? hmm nope, I can't tell you.
I fell even harder for Zane.
This story is a long winding rollercoaster that you don't want to get off.
Dark, Twisted and so much suspense. And yes betrayals run deep.
The ending blew my mind...
MORE PLEASE!

This is the third and final book in the Vipers story at Verona Falls University. Things aren't always as they seem and its hard to know who your real friends are.The Vipers Vow did not disappoint… it wrapped up the trilogy masterfully and it had everything that you want in a book. Kidnapping, intrigue, lots of hot and spicy scenes and a surprise villain. There were some twists in the plot and we finally know what had happened to her sister. You get to see the guys each grow in there own ways. Their relationship with their Venom gets stronger over time.

Their Vow

Vani and her Vipers, Zane, Saint and Lex are all broken in their own ways but they won't let go of her and are now in a race for their lives. Vani is fearless she is in standing up to her past and insecurities with the help of her men who are all obsessed.

Full of secrets, mafia families, blackmail, steamy why choose romance, secrets, lies and plenty of twists, I couldn't put this book down (you can't help but love the Vipers) and can't wait for the next Verona Falls series.

I enjoyed the Instalment more than the last one. I was glad that everything got wrapped up and there were no losses ends. I am not sure if I will read the other verona fall books.

I think these books are great if you don't want a difficult book and you want tog et through something quickly without loads of complicated plot. I might revisit the series again at a later date.

Overall I found this trilogy OK, it was great for a hit of spice a smidge of plot. If you're looking for anything else I would give this series a miss.

The Vipers Vow was the perfect ending to this dark romance trilogy. It has plenty of drama and suspense, and a few plot twists had me screaming in delight. Plus, the steam was top notch!

I loved the guys but Zane was my favorite - there's always just something about the strong silent type. I loved Vani and I'm glad she got the ending she deserved! I had the biggest grin on my face reading that last chapter - it was a perfect ending.

Also can't wait for the Preachers!

The Viper's Vow is book 6 in the Verona Falls University series and brings this fantastic, intense, consuming to a close the Viper's trilogy. Book after book these authors continuously bring readers a story that's even better than the one before. The Viper's Vow is no different! Vani and her men bring us all the heat, drama and action we love. The Viper's And their Venom, what a fitting end for this trilogy!

They vow

In bk 6, the vipers and their venom are in a race to save one of their own. Lies and twisted secrets almost ruin the foursome, but vani shows how fearless she is and battles to overcome her past, her potential future, and her insecurities. Great read, loved how saint he isn't immune to vulnerabilities, Jane's quiet strength in holding his own in the mc and lex's ability to use mind over matter in dire situations.

What an amazing way to end the series for The Vipers. I have to admit I loved this one more than The Devils, but still thoroughly enjoyed all of them.

Ivani and her men work so well together and my new book boyfriend would have to be Zane. He is the silent brooding MC and he works so well with Ivani not to mention the twins.

Fu*k so much happened in this book that it really does keep you on your toes. I loved it, but there is still questions that have not been answered and considering we are now moving onto the preachers in the next book I dont think they will be answered so I am a bit disappointed in that. I still loved the story and the spice and the characters. looking forward to finding out more about the preachers.

Finally the Truth

Vani doesn’t know what to believe or who to trust which only infuriates her Vipers. She wants answers about her half-sister even though the questions put them all in danger. But when a “friend” turns on her even more peril is on the horizon. Can her Vipers keep her safe? Can they keep her theirs?!

Fantastic finale!

If you are reading this you probably already love these screwed up characters. If not, go back two books and start there. You can get to know them with all their vulnerability, flaws and larger than life personalities. Then follow the amazing, spicy plot to their happy ending.

The Vipers' Vow is the conclusion to Vani, an MC Princess, and Lex, Saint, and Zane the Vipers; dark, MC/Mafia romance. I loved everything about this book, from the unexpected twists, the kidnapping, the steam and so much more. This is a steamy, page turning ending to this trilogy in the Verona Falls University series. I voluntarily Reviewed a copy of this book.

Woah! What a ride! This was such a good read and very fitting for the last book about the Vipers & Vani. I really enjoyed how they all realised just how much they meant to each other & were willing to do whatever it took to make sure they could be together. It was well-written and had lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing. Great read!

My Thoughts....

I mean a bit predictable, but it's still good.
Do I want more from the Vipers and Vani? - heck yes!!
I loved how they claimed her in front of everyone
Oh Zane will have my heart for a while
Saint crazy but oh so kind
Lex is just Lex and I'm here for it.
3.5 🌟 just because I wanted more!

I really love this series with The Vipers and Venom. Their relationship is full of obstacles, but somehow, they keep fighting through them.

The plot twists with the step-sisters father and the kidnapping, as well as finding out who really killed her sister, is stressful and fast-paced and exciting.

I love this group and how they fight for each other even when they should probably walk away.

Ride of death and destruction

Well the vipers sure go on a wild water ride!!! I'm surprised the dean doesn't learn or do anything with what has happened in his campus. Thanks killer/killers are finally found, after they try to take Vani. Always look at the unexpected.
