VENGEANCE I often wondered if Vengeance came with a price. I never cared, not after the torture I've endured. For me, Vengeance is best served through the eyes of my scope. The twitch of my finger. The pull of a trigger. The death of someone who deserves to die. Revenge, retribution, and retaliation are all that comes to mind. Cruel and brutal punishment for the hell inflicted on my family is all I’ve ever been able to think about. The betrayal fresh in mind years later, reminding me of the day my world came crashing down. I lost everything. The woman I loved. My sister. My parents. Myself. You know what else I say about Vengeance? It’s best served frozen. No side dish of compassion. No extra helping of warning. No dessert called a second chance. The price I want for it. Is written in blood. Author Note- This book does contain triggers. It's noted here as well as the beginning of the book. WARRANT Every wrongdoing warrants a consequence. In my case, I've decided to settle the score with death. Especially when, what brought this on, what stirred up my crazy, was the vicious attack on an innocent young girl. Worse, one that ended in her death. Years, I've been plotting to take out the men I used to call my brothers. The men who double-crossed me by brutally murdering my sister. I want revenge. I need it. Crave it. It's in my blood. I planned to stop at nothing. No matter, if I conflicted pain on another woman. After all, it was her brother who killed my sister. I figured, why not make him suffer the same way I have. One tiny glimpse of her changes everything. Or does it? Maybe, just maybe, the little siren I wanted to harm is going to single-handedly slaughter me instead. Lies. Deceit. Manipulation. Gotta love a tangled web of warranted deception. * Author note. This book does contain triggers. Please be advised. A warranted HEA guaranteed. RETALIATION As far back as I can remember, I pushed away those ugly demons looping their venom around my brain. Trying to turn me into a man I never wanted to be. “Do what we say or die.” Words filled with poison, they slowly dripped in my veins, leaving me a mess of a man, and walking that thin line between right and wrong. I never wanted to be a killer; now it’s a craving I need to survive. The man I used to be never wanted to cause anyone an ounce of unbearable pain, because I know first-hand what it feels like. That choking in your throat, barely able to breathe heartbreak of those who died, left behind. The men I’m killing, they left me no choice but to walk a line chalked with retaliation. To leave the woman I love behind. I didn’t take a life like they claim to cause her pain. I sacrificed a lifetime with her to keep her alive. But, after fourteen years of her living that lie, I’m crossing another line. One I was warned to never step over. “Stay away from her, or she dies.” *Author Note- This book may spark triggers.

Oh my dayz. This is a fabulous read. Vengeance, Warrant and Retaliation is the Vindicator series.
Vengeance. This is Cade and Ivys story. It is on the darker story much to my delight. Brilliant read.
Warrant. Crikey what a story. We now get Chaz story with Jillian. My heart broke for Jillian and Chaz. What a story. Did I already say that? Well I’m still in awe.
Retaliation. Now we get Nick and Blaires story. This broke me. Like seriously what have I just read. I feel as if the author threw me on a really fast paced rollercoaster.
This trilogy is epic. It brought out so many emotions from me. Will definitely be a reread for me.
In this dark gritty trilogy you will meet three very strong alphas who are more complex than you can imagine and the three women who hold their hearts in their hands.
This set had me feeling all sorts of things, this is not a happy shiny romance. These characters are dark, their way of life is dark.
If you are looking for a gritty, graphic story about vengeance then this is for sure the series for you. Kathy Coopmans has a way of pulling you into her worlds with her writing, and this world is not one I would want to live in, but I did enjoy visiting.
YES!!! YES!!! YES!! Kathy Coopmans did it again. Vengeance has one of the most memorable beginnings. The kind that will stick with you long after the book is done. JUST WOW!!
Vengeance is intense. The need to "right" a wrong is everything in this book. Everything that has happened, everyone in the way, every single choice that was taken away- is looking for justice. Not all "justice" is served by the judicial system. It doesn't hurt that some old friends come out to play in this book. (I am a huge fan of the Diamond family.) Back up never looked so good. I digress.
Vengeance is a physical need for Cade and he will stop at nothing to have it. The destruction of a young man's world set the events of this book in motion and only the fufillment of that Vengeance will grant him peace. Or is it the girl that was left behind that grants him the serenity?
One thing I know for sure- Kathy Coopmans better be out to give us more!!! I saw that Warrant is next and well, lets hope we don't need to enact some crazed plan to get our hands on it!!
Warrant: noun- justification or authority for an action, belief, or feeling. verb- justify or necessitate (a certain course of action)
Something terrible was done. It warranted a response. The response has been years in the making. Nothing is going to stop it. Nothing, not even the sexy Siren.
Revenge. Justification. Justice. Or peace. However you say it, he is out to get it. She's either with him or against him. Except there never really is a question...
Life hasn't been easy. It hasn't been fair. It doesn't look like it will be either. Everything these men have done to get here has been warranted.
Kathy Coopmans teases us with old friends. Warrant is book two of this series but it can be read as a standalone. Personally, I loved Vengeance and think that you should read it first but push come to shove you can get away without it. What you can't do!?! Avoid the glaring my obvious, someone is going to die. The acts that set this whole plot into motion warrant it.
If you are familiar with the Syndicate series, be sure to smile at the friendly faces. ;) If not, you would enjoy the introduction to Roan and his friends/story. Regardless of your previous "experience," Warrant is going to give you an outlet for the rage you will feel . In my case it was a particularly nasty nail injury...😊
Retaliation
Nick, Nick, Nick!
Honey, I don't pity you. I don't but a huge part of my heart broke for all you've been through. I knew your story would be bad. I assumed it would be painful. I had no idea that the darkness you lived in was worse than pitch black. I want to hug you and then hunt down your demons. I know that I would be a vigilante. I know that in your shoes I would not hesitate to get my Retaliation. I'm not as smart or have the patience you do. I would have gone of and probably gotten myself killed.
I want you to know that I ache on the inside for your pain, your loss, and everything that could have been. BUT! But I smile and glow with joy at all that will be...
So Nick, I just wanted to say thank you for finally having the courage and strength to share your story. It's my greatest hope that guilt will one day no longer wear you down.
And to the readers, well I just hope you are ready for the intense and heart achingly beautiful journey. One body bag at a time!
This boxset is EVERYTHING! I first read these books when they were released individually, this bidder seems to make them even better!! Here are my original reviews, as i want you to see what I felt when I first read them! Vengeance This book! I literally have no words! I finished this book about half an hour ago and I am still sat here absorbing what I have just read! This author rocks! Where the hell is that golden button?! I wanna give more than Five Stars!! Never have I wanted to get to the end of a book so quickly whilst wanting to savour it at the same time. I was pulled in from the first page, kicking and screaming, the darkness consumed me. I felt every emotion that Cade and Ivy felt. They settled like a blanket around my shoulders as the true extent of Cade's vengeance is made apparent. Tears were shed and my heart totally broke at the evil betrayal. I literally feel bereft after finishing this book. Don't mind me, over here in the corner rocking! The last 25%!!!!! This book was worth every lost breath and tear, Kathy Coopmans has knocked it out of this world! Dare I say the best book I have read this year. There, I said it!!
Warrant This to me exceeds the five stars! I want a mother trucking golden button Damn it!! *stamps foot! I am loving this darker side of Kathy Coopmans. I have already handed over my heart and soul to this author, she has now taken my last breath with this book, I am drowning in delicious darkness, nobody throw me a life line.....I mean really who needs oxygen?....breathing is overrated right?!
Retaliation Seriously!! There should be an option to press a golden buzzer like in Britain's Got Talent, that let's people know that this far surpasses the Five stars!!! When I open the proverbial door to a Kathy Coopmans book, I willingly hand over my heart, my soul, my tears, EVERY single emotion, my very last breath, because let's face it, oxygen is over rated right?! Any who, I thought I had prepared myself pretty well for Nick's story (I re-read Vengeance and Warrant), I mean, how much darker can this series get? *tut, tut, shame on you if you thought that! This will truly shake you to the core, throwing your whole being six ways Sunday. But it also gives you hope, the jagged, broken pieces of my heart and soul that get handed back to me at the end of the book are somehow fixed together. The light shining through the cracks. If you have read the other two in this series, you will not be disappointed! If you haven't read them at all, what are you waiting for?!!

This was a difficult series to read, but it was amazing all the same. Each story was more heartbreaking than the last, it was intense, intriguing, edgy, dark, horrific, and had more tragedies than anyone should ever have to endure, witness, or even think about. However, it was also full of happiness, humor, loyalty, camaraderie, angst, revenge, vigilantly, and love strong enough to feel in your soul. There honestly isn't enough or the right words to describe this series other than it was a compelling, captivating, intriguing, and it will capture you from the very beginning, and you'll be unable to put it down until the end. Although this is a fictional series, there is unfortunately so much of this and worse being done throughout the world. And while most of the people are naive when it comes to the depravity in the world, I only hope that stories like these make everyone more aware, as well as willing to do whatever they can to help those in need. It's not necessary, but I would highly recommend that you read The Syndicate series prior to beginning this one. There is character crossover between the two, and I believe that it will give you a better understanding of the characters, different groups, and the dynamics between them. They're also fantastic stories, and you will love them as much as this series! I would definitely recommend this book, series, and exceptional author.
Vengeance (originally reviewed 7-8-18) What would you do to get your Vengeance? This is something many of us never have to think about. For Cade it's all he can think about. Vengeance, it can take over your life. I loved this dark read from Kathy, this is her darkest yet. I can't wait for Chaz's story!
Warrant (originally reviewed 9-18-18) This book, WOW! You definitely should read Vengeance first. This whole series has all the feels! Chaz, I fell in love with him in the first book but oh my goodness. I am left speechless, even a month later I don't know what to say! Just read it.
Retaliation (originally reviewed 2-3-19) Every new book Kathy writes becomes my favorite, she constantly outdoes herself!
If you enjoy crime and punishment then this is as good as it gets,it tells of a young boy who's farther wishes for him to follow in his footsteps,only he hates everything about what is father stands for and the crimes that he does,in kidnapping to raping young girls until they don't know who they are anymore for they give up on anyone finding them. It takes the young man who survives the treatment that he farther doses to him to fight back and tries to save as many as he can and seeks to kill his farther . I want to say that I don't usually read this type of story but I have to say that it's a strong story and Thankyou for your hard work and may fortune smile on you always
Holy what a ride these trio of men take us on. Talk about alpha males, like heat up the pages of your eReader. Not only is this trip of men after vengeance, but also after safety for their women. The women these men pick are each suited for them, they are strong and powerful, even if they don't know it for half their reads. Amazing series, loved every page.
Dark, intense, and action packed, the Vindicator set will keep you reeling on the edge of your seat as fire races through your veins! This hotter than hot series ticks all the boxes and makes for one steamy binge read! Five stars for another must read by Kathy Coopmans.
Great storyline and had potential. Unfortunately, these books had the worst editing I have ever seen. Spelling errors, grammar, it was hard to even understand at times the context was thrown off by typing mistakes.
