Publisher's summary

Together, the seven fearless friends known as the Sisterhood have served sweet justice to villains who thought they were above the law. But payback has its price, and the Sisterhood's last assignment almost landed them in jail. Now the women are fugitives with a bounty on their heads, but they're not planning on hiding out for long - not when good friends need the kind of help only they can give.

Mitch Riley, the ruthless assistant director of the FBI, intends to frame Cornelia "Nellie" Easter, the judge who helped the Sisterhood evade prison, and their lawyer, Lizzie Fox, in order to save his own career. He's created a special task force to hunt the Sisters down. Mitch has the entire FBI behind him, but he's about to discover that he's no match for seven formidable women with an unbreakable bond and a wickedly cunning plan to bring the fight right to his door.

Good but slow at first.

Took quite a few chapters to get into the book and understand and keep the characters straight. I am looking forward to the next one.

Hide and Seek

Well, it was bound to happen... Listen for yourself. I enjoyed this one and look forward to future adventures!

Entertaining

Entertaining Series by Fern Michaels. Although the situations the Sisterhood find themselves in are unrealistic, the book is more than enjoyable for pure entertainment. Definitely worth the read.

Love the Sisterhood Books, but HATE the narration!

I'm working on reading all the Sisterhood books. All this time, I thought Fern Michaels wrote the typical romance/bodice buster books. Finally I was introduced to the Sisterhood and I'm hooked. Love them and want to read all of them. I've read several now...READ, not listened. I’ve listened to this one and have bought more audiobooks that are waiting on me. If I don’t return them....

If I’m going to listen to another one, I have to get past the narrator, Laurel Merlington. She narrates Myra with a shaky, trembly voice of an elderly woman who smoked and drank throughout her life, in spite of the fact that she's about 60 years old. It's like fingernails on a blackboard to me and an insult to people older than 50. Further, she speaks with the kind of Southern accent that we Southerners hate to hear non-Southerners use. For instance "dear" is "deauuuuuhhhhh" and she uses it a lot, exacerbating it with that nasal, strangled, trembly OLD lady voice. May aunt at 104 years old didn't talk like that, nor did my mother, aunts. Charles, her man, who I assume is about the same age, speaks with a British accent and also sounds as if he's going to strangle, as does Jack, the District Attorney. I picture Jack, from his voice, as a wormy little pinched faced man, but Nicky, his honey, describes him as a hunk. However, his voice is nasal and tight and SO annoying! It's not appropriate to the storyline which consists of characters very young to older. I have to hope they don't talk for long. If they do, I fast-forward. Did the author ever listen to her books? I find myself over and over wanting to turn the book off and toss all books narrated by this woman.

It’s irritating when authors don’t listen to their audiobooks and are stuck on making the same mistake over and over..in this case for a series of 29 books. How could anybody want this cast of so many characters to sound so awful?

This narrator narrates all the Sisterhood books so I have to suck it up if I want to listen to them. I don’t know if I can because this woman’s voice is downright distracting.

Excellent read

I was caught up from page one and had a hard time putting down at all.

Entertainment non stop

Well wrote. I have read the 7 books before this one. The series keeps your attention. There author is clever because in each book 3 or more people are added to the sisterhood. You just can't wait to see what will happen next. Descriptive, exhilarating, attention holders. 😉.

Books are great to listen to when doing chores.

Great to listen when doing chores. your mind gets carried away and the chores are not so hard to do.

Vigilantes Sisterhood

I love this series. This story was very good. Great antagonist, everyone loves to hate!

Another good listen

Continuing good saga of the sisterhood hoping they are going to keep as interesting as the finished ones

Another great one!!!

Good fast moving storyline....very exciting! Really enjoyed this book....closer to the first couple of books in the series.
