I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads, so here is my review.
This is the third book in the V Games series and Vas and Darya’s story.
Darya grew up in a convent when the Devil Man came and took her away. Now she only knows pain for Yuri, Vlad’s father. She isn’t allowed to wear clothes and she is beaten when Yuri isn’t happy. Her life is not what you would want anyone to go through but it is where the devil has left her.
Vas is Diana and Irena’s half-brother. He is a fighter and he trains fighters and they win in the V Games. He has a big heart and finding Darya it shows and his protectiveness for her comes through even bigger. He will protect her in any way even with his life.
As with the other books, this one is filled with mafia doings, murders, betrayal, lust, love and even forever. I would totally recommend reading the first two books just to be able to keep up with all the characters involved.
I have loved this series and I love Vas but I found this book to be a little less than the first books, it didn’t seem to have the gripping page-turner effect for me. And I will be recommending this series to anyone who would listen. I can’t wait for the “Cousins Zakhar & Rodion” and Alyona story, so I hope there is at least one more book. If you haven’t read anything from K. Webster & Ker Dukey and you like a great mafia story, then these authors and this story are for you.

Vas (The V Games #3) by Ker Dukey& K Webster. I was so excited for this book. I couldn’t wait to start reading it. It definitely didn’t take me long to finish this story. In Ven which is book 2 the bomb was dropped regarding Yuri’s sex slave being his daughter. Now that it has been comfirmed that Darya is Vlad’s sister, Vas wants to be with her. Even though his father is part of the “first family ” his mother was still the maid. Vas is just a street fighter at heart. He is brutal as well as lethal. He is still trying to find his place in his new standing. Vas loves his half sisters and continues to strengthen his relationship with them. Vlad now wants Vas to train his contender for the next V Games. So much is going on in his life while he is trying to make Darya his own. I enjoyed this story and absolutely love all the characters. There were secrets revealed and repercussions I didn’t see coming. I loved the ending and look forward to the continuation of what happened. This book was not as good as the other books but was definitely a 4.5 star read for me.
Vocal. Voracious. Vindictive. Volkov.Vas
From the first to the last page this book had me hooked, you would never guess this book is written by two authors and great ones at that.
Vas and Darya story is intense from the start, she only trusts one man to protecter her and that is Vas her angel, this is the V games so you expect violence twists and a whole lot more, Vas is to train Alyona for he V games along with cousins Zakhar & Rodion, the training is intense the build up to the game will have you climbing the walls, then a secrets is revealed that will change so many lives mainly Vas and Darya but it effects all the families will they all pull together or will a war begin, you will have to read it to find out a fantastic book that will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time.
I found that my enjoyment of reading The V Games by Ker Dukey and K. Webster increased as the series progressed. This third and final book had me gripped and entertained from start to finish – which I loved. Vas is definitely my favourite book in the series.
There are lots of twists and turns throughout this instalment which made it a real page-turner. I received some answers to the questions I had from the previous two books but I do still have a couple that remain, and I’d love for that incredible epilogue to be continued. I have been left wondering if the authors have any plans for more books connecting to this series to be released or they may even already be published – I shall have to check that out. I loved the pace of Vas and Darya’s story; I honestly didn’t want to put my kindle down. I found Vas to be my favourite leading male and that is probably due to his personality. Darya’s journey throughout is quite the read and I loved how it progressed.
I have enjoyed getting to know the characters and I have especially loved the strong women throughout this series. As with the previous two books there are some scenes in Vas that I found difficult to read, but they are expected knowing that this is a dark mafia series. My grumble is that I wish that there weren’t so many characters with names beginning with the letter V. I appreciated having a list of who’s who to refer to, but the flow of my reading was halted by having to carefully consider or check the list to determine the essential details regarding the character involved in a particular scene – until I got to really know them that is. I do understand why the authors have done this though.
This series must be read in the order that the books have been published as the storylines continue throughout. Overall, I have enjoyed reading The V Games, this final book being my favourite as previously mentioned. Hopefully this isn’t the last we see of these Russian families, and I’d love more scenes involving the actual Games. I award Vas 4.5 stars.
I read this 3 part series through my kindle unlimited membership and am giving this review voluntarily.
Warning: this book may contain triggers about abuse, drug use, murder and implied incest. Don’t read if you find these topics upsetting. There also may be implied *****spoilers*****, sort of.
This trilogy is a solid 5 stars from me, something I rarely give. These stories are rough, heartbreaking, violent and not pretty and yet they contain hope, love and possibilities.
Book 1 was Vlad and Irina, Book 2 Ven and Diana, Book 3 Vas and Darya. Finding love for these couples was not easy, definitely wasn’t pretty but it’s not worth having if you don’t have to fight for it.
Even though this was a trilogy, I hope the authors share stories of Alyona and the twins, Viktor (and I’m even curious about what eventually happens with Vika.)
The V Games Novel
Oh how I enjoy this twisted story! The intrigue and the family brutality is crazy good!
Vas is the story of the newly found son of the Volkov family Vas and Darya. You get the answer you are waiting for on who Darya really is and the role she unfortunately was forced into with the Vasiliev family.
I fell in love with Vas’s protective streak for Darya. I enjoyed the alternating POV’s in this story. You can feel the caged beast in Vas when it comes to Darya and you can feel the innocence that Darya still has even though she has been through some absolutely horrible things. They both are creatures of the dark and night and they fit together beautifully.
This story, like the other stories in this series is brutal, it’s bloody and it’s such a mind screw, which makes it so good! It’s like witnessing a car wreck, you cannot look away, you have to keep reading. This story is going to make you gasp and shake with anger and it’s going to keep you engaged until the very end! A true testament to the great writing duo that K. and Ker are.
I am hoping and praying that they are not completely finished with this series! Their are so many characters that need their own stories too! The ending of this one is going to leave you begging for more!!
5 fantastic stars!! Omg I love the V Games, but I love this book the most!!
This is book 3 in the “V Games” series. Do not read this as a stand alone. These books should be read in succession to each other or you will be so lost on all the families.
“Vocal.
Voracious.
Vindictive.
Volkov.”
This book is Vas and Darya’s story. But even more then that this is the story of so many. Like I am in love with where we are right now. All of these characters are wonderful. Vas is my total favorite. I then fell in love with the twins and their damn daddy. I love everyone of these fuckers, except the other dads. They are all worthless. This book kept me so intrigued. And then the epilogue with our next V Games fighter… WTF!!! Omg I need to know what is going on.
“I’m the motherfucking angel of death.”
These two authors seem to always rock my world. Always turn me into this greedy girl. You have no clue two authors wrote this book. Not at all. It is so twisted and dark and fucked up, but damn do I love it.
Poor Darya has been through it worse then anyone!! And there are quite a few damn twists and turns that really mess with your head. I don’t even know what to say but this is perfection. Listen to me, you need to read this series!! Like NOW!
**I received this book as an ARC and in return gave my honest review**
Book 3….most certainly as great as the first 2 books!! Again, the characters and story line is so great. It ends with a bang so I hope there will be a book 4 !!!
My…… My……. My…….. is what I was thinking when I finished this book. I was like oh hell no that did not just happen. Why did they try to do that to them. There were so many questions because shiz went down and poor Vas was put in the middle of it. But there is one thing that Vas knew and that was that he loved Darya and he would do anything for her no matter the cost. He would lay down his life for her. Don’t mistake Vas for a weak man because he is vicious , vindictive, and ruthless!
Poor Darya she was brought up in a convent until the mean man came to get her and made her do things she should not have done. Yuri is an evil and disgusting man that took everything from Darya but she got everything and more when Vas came into her life.
This is a must read series that is off the chain and gets better with each book. So go on and one click it and binge read the series to see what happens to the guys.
I have been waiting eagerly to read this one, and boy has the wait been worth it.
Vas is the finally (say it isn’t so!) instalment of the V games. He is the underdog, the mutt of the First Families, and now he finally has his time to shine. His gentlemanly ways in a world of villainous, vicious scoundrels was a breath of fresh air. And Darya. All I can say is poor, poor child!
Ker Dukey and K Webster’s mind is a minefield of fuck bombs that will just blow you away. There were so many “oh shit” moments that I needed a breather after.
If mafia, dark, bloody gore underground fighting is your cup of tea, these books are definitely right up your alley.
Russian Mafia couldn’t get any hotter than third installment of the V Games, Vas. I absolutely love the tough as nails women and the younger generation men in the “families” that will give up anything for the women that they adore. The V Games is a on going series that once you get started you won’t want to stop. I can’t wait to see what Webster and Dukey have in store next. The writing in Vas is outstanding and the storyline is one which is unique and interesting. I give Vas 5-stars.
Vas can’t get the slave girl Darya out of his head. He goes out of his way to see her every time he visits his sister. It guts him to leave her in the clutches of Yuri Vasiliev, one of the cruelest leaders of the first families. As secrets are slowly revealed and lies are exposed Vas finally gets to rescue Darya from her hellish surroundings and protect her. Just when Darya is starting to feel safe and loved her new brother plans a dinner where even more hidden secrets are brought to light and this time it could turn deadly. With Darya’s paternity hanging in the balance and the whereabouts of her mother unknown Darya fears she will be ripped away from the only man that has ever loved her. Vas is willing to kill anyone that tries to hurt his woman again even if it’s his own family.
I stand by my thoughts- The V Games are a psychotic, sociopathic version of the Hunger Games on PCP. They aren’t anyone’s playground. Training, fighting, and speed will only get you so far in this twisted game. A game I love reading about so what does that tell you about me…?
Or what about my twisted need to read ever word ever printed about these mafia families and their own twisted soap opera lives. Death, murder, rape, slaves, and destruction…oh my! It’s not all darkness though- you just need to look for the light.
Vas has found his light and would do anything to protect it.
I freaking love this series and have to say that the ending of Vas has me so damn jealous! I might be moving to Moscow.
Reviewed for Sweet Spot Sisterhood
The V games are back! We finally have Vas’s book and I think I fell in love with this one! This is the third book in this series but can be read as a standalone, however it helps to get the full story if you read them in order. Vas has know Dayra, one of the slave girls, for a while. He has a soft spot for her but things are gonna change for them both when the truth of who she really is comes to light. Darya is one of Yuri’s slaves but no one expected what came next!! A total shock that would change everything. Tasked to train Alyona for the games and protect Darya at the same time, will Vas be able to keep it professional or will his feelings for Darya become to much to fight? We get all our favorite characters back together in this book. Told in dual POV.
Vas is the 3rd book in the series, so as we know from the first 2 books that Vas is a streetwise tough SOB but he loves his sisters deeply. So when his heart takes in another, that person must be worth it. But worth fighting his sisters’ husbands aka the first families, for a slave girl or for one of their own? Vas think so. And he does not disappoint! Swoon!
Darya hasn’t had the best life but it was one of purity… until the devil came. An angel in hell can only take so much, Unless they have some of their Very own Venom running through their Veins. Now she must trust those who have not answer her prayers before. Except for Vas, her sexy guardian angel in the dark.
Besides my romantic heart loving this couple, Darya brings out the best in characters. I’ve enjoyed people in the story I hadn’t before. And Vas’s friendships are built with blood and sweat and more blood, making them as real as they can be.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
The Volkov name is one I longed for. Their houshold is one I grew up in, but not as an equal- as a maid’s son. This didn’t stop me from becoming a man to be reckoned with. But even with my rightful name finally given to me, I still fill adrift. Until her. Everything I did was for acceptance. Everything I lost brought me to my family. To this life. To her. Ifought for my status. I fought for my sisters. And I will fight to the death for my angel. She has shown me there is light in our pitch-black world. That the stars can’t shine without the darkness of night. She is the stars, and I am the sky in which she shines. Their is evil lurking in the shadows we create. The corruption and depravities of the First Families have become toxic and are infecting us all from within. Games have been played, and now, they must end. I am Vas. Vocal. Voracious. Vindictive. Volkov. A devil in love with an angel, and together, we’re going to rule Hell on Earth.
Wecome to the third book in the V Games Series. You have to read Vlad and Ven or you are not going to understand this book.
I am so excited for Vas’s story. Vlad and Ven were such good books and Vas has been a bit of a mystery for me. I couldn’t wait to get to know him better. I loved this story so much and devored it in one sitting. This book is dark and intense and breathtaking. He is a man that has long not known where he comes from and now that he does he craves the power that should come along with his name. He didn’t grow up with the luxuries in life like his sisters did. He didn’t have his birthright. What he did have was a mother that raised him the best she could and loved him enough for both parents. He didn’t have to deal with the upbringing of such a cuel father and the things he does or is involved in. Now that she is gone he is just drifiting until he sees Darya. These two have a connection from the get go but she belonged to another as a slave that was bought. However she too is in to for finding out that she has a family she never knew about and her life is turned upside done. Vas though becomes her savior. Her protector. Her everything. These to have some smoking hot chemistry. Along with some serious blood shed, sexy moments and huge and I do mean huge surprises. I was left reeling and loved this book so much. It is a must read for lovers of dark romances. Buckle up. Your in for one amazing ride.
Vas by Ker Dukey K. Webster is book Three in The V Games Series. This is the story of Vas and Darya. I do think to fully enjoy this book and series you should read them in order and not as standalone books. Vas is a strong man who goes forward to take Darya when he sees the chance and tries to protect her as much as he can. Their coming together isn’t easy but neither can’t stop their feelings that are taking over.
Such a big fan of these two authors…I try to read as many books as I can from them!
This book is bittersweet. I needed Vas, but I am so sad to see that this series is done. I loved the malevolence and viciousness of the games. The twists and surprise turns by the two K’s is first-rate and unanticipated!!
Vas’ character seems to be the softer of the three V’s, but don’t mistake that malleability, he is still just as lethal and threatening as the other two. Not being raised within the First Family culture gives him a different perspective on their lifestyle. He isn’t concerned if it is disapproved to fall for ‘the help’. His angel brings the light he needs to withstand the vile and villainous world he exists in.
Darya’s and Vas’ characters are perfectly attuned each other. Bring in all the other characters from the previous books and you have a wondrous and revered conclusion to an outstanding series.
5* Victorious Stars
I’d give this book 100 stars, if I could! It is absolutely brilliant, and everything I have come to love about Dukey & Websters’ duo books. They are dark, raw, full of angst, passion and truly real to their core. This book gives us such and insight into Vas, and I really got to know him and love/hate him.
The characters were beautifully written. they were full of personality, details and characteristics, really making them come to life. That, mixed with the depth in the world, really meant that it was easy for me to fall in love with the story, and truly become part of it. I was completely addicted to this read, and found myself unable to put it down.
Page after page, I fell more in love with this read, and really couldn’t put it down. I read it in two days, which is very fast, when you have a newborn! I wholeheartedly recommend this book!!
I LOVE this series!!!!
It was dark, twisted, dirty, hot and oh, what an ending! Just the way I like it!!!! If you can handle rape, torture, blood, and violence than this is right up your alley.
I can’t wait for the next book.
Vas Volkov is the son of a caring woman but her station as a maid deemed that Vas wouldn’t be fully accepted into the first family. Without wealth or prestige, Vas was raised differently and learned to work hard. Creating a niche where he can succeed, Vas is worthy of more and isn’t afraid to protect those who need it.
Darya was raised in a convent and is quite sheltered until being thrust into the devil’s den. With her position as a sexual servant to the Vasiliev patriarch, she must endure his wrath. Without an ally, Darya tries to do what she can to survive.
Told in dual POV, the pace moves quickly and spans some time which allows for the characters and the plot to grow. With these families, there are many secrets and there is no shortage of reveals in this installment. Coupled with the pending V Games, Vas and Darya must navigate through all the greed and treachery, but there are also steamy moments.
Since this series began, I’ve been curious about Vas and he is definitely my favorite. Due to his background, he is compassionate and doesn’t have a sense of entitlement. As a couple, Vas and Darya make a good pair and have a loving bond. Additionally, the inclusion of secondary characters such as Alyona, Rodion and Zahkar infused humor, camaraderie and more sexiness into the plot. Lastly, I’m interested to know where a certain path may lead regarding several characters, including Vika.
Vas is about corrupt families and how one can overcome to make his own way. This book will appeal to those who enjoy dark romance set in an underground world.
