Publisher's summary

Life isn't fair. Most women know it. But what can you do about it? Plenty...if you're part of the Sisterhood. On the surface, these seven women are as different as can be - but each has had her share of bad luck, from cheating husbands to sexist colleagues to a legal system that often doesn't do its job. Now, drawn together by tragedy, they're forging a bond that will help them right the wrongs committed against them and discover an inner strength they didn't know they had. Growing bolder with each act of justice, the Sisterhood is learning that when bad things happen, you can roll over and play dead...or you can get up fighting...

In the tradition of The First Wives' Club, Weekend Warriors is a slam-bang, take-no-prisoners tale of survival, sweet revenge, and the healing power of friendship.

Catch all of our Revenge of the Sisterhood titles.

Critic reviews

"Readers who grow weary of seeing the bad guys get away with their crimes will enjoy seeing what happens when well-funded, very angry women take the law into their own hands." ( Booklist)

fun and fluffy

I was in the mood for something fluffy and this hit the spot. Suspend disbelief, enjoy the ride with strong women. The narrator is terrible! All the men sound like old Gumbas and the women slip in and out of Southern accents.

Awesome series

Would you consider the audio edition of Weekend Warriors to be better than the print version?

I don't know, I didn't read the print edition, but I love this story and the characters

What did you like best about this story?

I think I liked the camaraderie of the women how they look after each other and Charles looks out for all of them

Which character – as performed by Laural Merlington – was your favorite?

I liked all of them for different reasons. I least liked Julia, she seemed so weak and timid. Loved Katherine and her spunk. Loved Myra for her generosity. Felt bad for Nicky and her situation with Jack but admired her sticking to her guns. Not sure about the others yet. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!!!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I have enjoyed all of this wonderful seires. This Audible has been fun to listen too

I'm Hooked!!

I was starting to realize that I was the only person in the world who had never read/listened to a book by Fern Michaels. I was sick of being a loner, so I chose to start my journey off with the audiobook Weekend Warriors: Revenge of the Sisterhood #1 by Fern Michaels, Narrated by Laural Merlington. Oh...My...Gosh...I LOVED IT! I'm 1000% hooked and I have already bought the next in the series! I'm only starting book #2, but I'm already overjoyed that there are so many of them in The Sisterhood Series!! I haven't been this excited about reading/listening to the next book in a series since....well, I can't remember, so it must have been forever ago. This book introduces The Sisterhood, which is a group of women, who form an unbreakable bond, determined to make right to those who have committed wrongs against them. These well-educated, successful women play by their own set of rules, and with their seemingly unlimited supply of cash and connections to the right people, they set off on their first mission.

The storyline grabbed me almost immediately and kept me fully engaged through to the very last word of the book. I listened to this audiobook non-stop, straight through to the end...I couldn't stop! I felt like I was right there with them every step of the way. It was fantastic! I have no clue how I didn't find this sooner. I love everything about The Sisterhood! The characters are great, and because each woman has her own distinct personality and unique situation, all readers/listeners will easily find a favorite within the group. I can't wait to get to know each of them better as I work my way through the series! Thank you, Fern Michaels for writing this series...I'm so excited!

The narration...so awesome! This is also my first time listening to Laural Merlington. She is absolutely wonderful! She is truly a professional in this field. Her performance was flawless, and I feel her narration made an already excellent book even better. I'm very happy to see that she also narrates the upcoming books in the series, too. Yay! Outstanding job! Bravo!

Overall, I give this audiobook a rating of 5/5 across the board. I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys crime, action, suspense, frienship, or to those looking to start a new series, especially women. I'm confident you will love it, no matter what your preferred genre is. Ladies, keep up the great work! I'm one of your newest and biggest fans! Thank you!

Thank you for reading my review. I hope it was helpful. :-)

HIDDEN TREASURE ON PAR W/ "IN DEATH" SERIES

NO SPOILERS
NOTE: THIS IS A SERIES REVIEW NOT INDIVIDUAL BOOK!

I started reading the Sisterhood series years ago and stopped reading because my choice of genre changed. I recently decided to pick up the book where I left off as an audible read. I have now completed the entire series to date and have to give it my highest recommendation and to put Fern Michaels/Laural Merlington on par with the J. D. Robb/ Susan Ericksen Team


I've stated before I prefer to recommend series not individual books, this series is a Hidden Treasure!. I'm surprised at how few Audible readers have yet to discovered it. I know I'm going out on a limb to compare it favorably to J. D. Robbs and Susan Erickson "In Death" Series, but I feel I have good reason. The Sisterhood is rich with characters exquisitely portrayed by Laural Merlington on par with Susan Erickson (In Death) a very hard act to follow. The story premise: very bad people have escaped the long arm of the law and have "gotten away" with despicable crimes. The reappearing cast of damaged undeniably interesting and unique women with male counterparts equally unique and interesting, band together to see justice is served. It is vigilantism and these women are sometimes quite graphic in the mode chosen to exact revenge, but as they say, the punishment fits the crime. The main character Myra has untold wealth and her lover/main squeeze Charles is a "retired" MI5 agent who still has close ties to the Queen of England. They use their own "Control Center" to gather a "Sisterhood" of women, women picked because each has her own horrific backstory where justice has not been served. These women in subsequent books get to enact their own "justice" towards the perpetrator of the despicable crimes that has devastated and impacted their individual life's.


It sounds pretty heavy and there is drama! but the repartee between our ladies and men are laugh out loud sometimes hilarious fun. There is an element of fantasy, humor, romance/love and mystery/thriller in every book. Fern Michael's "The Sisterhood" has a rich tapestry of characters with storylines and characters that evolve throughout the series, unique plotlines and a bond of sisterhood that is enviable.. These elements and many more, lead me to give this series my highest recommendation... "Do Not Read Sisterhood, Listen to It" Laural Merlington adds a dimension by her imbued characterization of each man and women that can not be found in the reading. The last book to date in this series "Kiss and Tell" gives the boys in this series their own segue way into Ms. Michael's new miniseries "The Brotherhood" but I urge you to start at Sisterhood Number 1 "Weekend Warrior Revenge of the Sisterhood" special note first book is a little heavier being the purpose is heavily weighted in establishing the series plotlines but each book gets a little more humorous, wait till you meet Anne...what a hoot! .

"The Sisterhood" is an absolutely 'Must Have' in your collection particularly if you love J. D. Robbs "In Death" series. As with "In Death" each book has a multi-genre and unique plot line, the main character Myra is damaged with devastating back story, untold wealth at her disposal and a unrivaled drive for "justice" (just not the legal kind) Myra's lover Charles has spy skills and a control center akin to Rork's and lastly but definitely not least a plethora of delightful and humorous characters brought to life and exquisitely portrayed by the superb talents of Laural Merlington! Sound familiar...
