“Lawrence’s title is apt, as most of his characters are engaged in plotting and scheming, enraged by the actions of another, which makes this story an entertainingly soapy affair… action packed tale of spite.” – Kirkus Reviews

“Vindictive is a riveting murder mystery novel that will have readers turning the pages to find out what happens with Jules and how the lies she has been told unfold. A fast paced novel perfect for readers looking for action, suspense and thrills.” – Literary Titan.

"Ryan Lawrence’s VINDICTIVE is a genuine page-turner filled with sex, violence, quality perfume, classy dishware, and determined revenge.” – IndieReader.

Ryan Lawrence was born and raised in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. He is a 2000 graduate of The University of

Quotes by Ryan Lawrence  (?)

“These were the nights Chloe Morrison dreaded the most--when the stars filled the sky and shone vigorously down on her family's farm like countless police interrogation lamps. On these nights, she believed the sky became conscious, aware, and sought to act. Chloe understood what the twinkling expanse endevoured to do. It was a desperate attempt to illuminate the hidden depravities practiced on the farm.”
― Ryan Lawrence, Vindictive Too

“Squinting, he focused with laser-like intensity to see what he could of the corpse below. He marvelled at the kaleidoscope of colours and textures the mangled body had created all over the urban canvas.”
― Ryan Lawrence

“A look of confusion, of bewilderment, came over his face. His eyes turned glassy, unfocused. Twitching a few times, he murmured something inaudible and then chuckled like an idiot. As blood pooled in his eyes and escaped from his lips in rivulets, he completely lost his balance and fell forward.”
― Ryan Lawrence

“Not everything was recent; some of the evidence dated back decades. The body count was high, and it made him want to vomit. He had always known Joseph kept up-to-date, comprehensive files on every move he made, that was no secret, but this was something beyond clerical. It was controlled paranoia, autocracy, and true villainy.”
