Publisher's Summary

Once upon a time there were seven very different women who had been broken but not beaten by life. In those tough days of healing, they became the Sisterhood, a group of devoted friends who vowed to change their lives, empower themselves, and be there for each other, no matter what. Now, they're ready to answer the call for the woman who started it all, Myra Rutledge.

Five years ago, Myra's pregnant daughter was killed by a hit-and-run driver - the playboy son of an ambassador with diplomatic immunity. Myra was left to grieve while the murderer was free to return to his lavish lifestyle with no fear of ever having to pay for his crime. But not for much longer.

As the air turns crisp in the Virginia hills around Myra's lovely old farmhouse, the Sisterhood has gathered for a little creative planning, and what they have in mind is a gift for Myra of long-awaited and very sweet revenge...

Catch all of our Revenge of the Sisterhood titles.

Any additional comments?

I am a great fan of Fern Michaels and I love the Sisterhood Novels. I realized I had already read the Vendetta when I first got into the first chapter. That is when I discovered I wish I had gotten it and the rest on CD format instead of download them on this Laptop. I wish the same for the Bible series I have gotten from Audible. I am having problems getting them to play. When I finally get them to play I have to stay with it untill that one is finished. Both because I am enjoying it/them and because I am afraid I wont be able to get it/them to play again. I am so glad I have joined Audible!

disappointing

As a long time fan of Fern Michaels, I really was so disappointed. All of these acts of revenge were so anticlimactic, churlish, and unnecessary. Sometimes one really needs to strike back, but these women need to embrace their lives and not their hatred. I look forward to a better book from this wonderful author. The narration was good!

Another Winner!

Vendetta: Revenge of the Sisterhood #3 by Fern Michaels, narrated by Laural Merlington is another winner in this highly rated series! I am 100% hooked, engaged, and completely into the planning, process, and outcome of each woman's story. The series follows a group of women who have gone from mostly strangers to a close-knit, loving, and caring family. How? By working toward a common goal...seeking revenge on those who have taken away the happy lives they once led. Complete with unlimited funding, high-level resources, world travel, and plans to out-smart the cops, each book focuses on a different character's story from start to finish. As the group of women work together to ensure a successful follow-through of each case, I cannot help but root them on! Because the personality, background, motive, and personal story of each woman is unique to the others, all readers will find this series appealing. I feel like I know the characters on a personal level, and I even feel like I am part of their team! Not only have I developed an understanding for why these women want revenge, but I can also see why it is absolutely necessary for them to make peace with each situation before moving on with the rest of their lives. The bond they have developed is one that will last a lifetime, one that only the truest of sisters understand. :-)

Laural Merlington is the narrator of the Revenge of the Sisterhood series. Although I felt she did an awesome job in books 1 & 2, and I gave her a very deserving 5-stars, it didn't fully click in my mind until book 3 that this is really only one single person I'm hearing! I am amazed at her flawless ability to play SO MANY different characters, complete with their own voice, tone, accent...males and females...all within the same scene! I'm sure this book is good to read, but Laural Merlington's performance turns this entire series into a must-listen! I cannot find even one thing to criticize. She is award-winning amazing, and definitely one of the best narrators I've ever listened to!

Vendetta: Revenge of the Sisterhood #3 by Fern Michaels, narrated by Laural Merlington deserves 5 out of 5 stars across the board. There is no doubt in my mind that you will enjoy this series!! I recommend you start at the beginning with book 1, so you can see how and why the group formed orignally. You will also be introduced to the characters and everyone that is involved in the planning and execution of each woman's revenge, along with the decision process of how the group chooses whose revenge is up next! You will adore these women and be inspired by what they each bring to the table. You will laugh with them, feel their pain, and rejoice in their success. You will see a bit of yourself in each of them and use their strength and individual talents to help you see and find your own. Most rewarding, though, will be the feeling you have as you become part of one another's lives, sharing in the wonderful, unbreakable sisterhood bond you have all formed together! Enjoy!

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

Spying, Revenge in China, and Myra Trucking

This action packed book two of the Sisterhood Series includes Jack Emery spying addictively outside Myra Rutledge’s McLean, Virginia home. Meanwhile the Sisterhood goes to China to avenge Barbara Rutledge’s death caused by the son of a Chinese diplomat. And, Myra joins Kathryn in a cross-country trucking trip. I could not

Vendetta. By Fern Michaels

These women are going through things that you read or see every day.We can see are self in the women.very well wrote,story lines are written.please keep these coming.

Another great caper

The girls are off on another caper that this time takes some of them out of the country. Myra takes off on a crazy trucking expedition, that is so out of her realm that it becomes quite funny and unexpected. The ole gal proves to her pomp and circumstance self that she still has it. As I have said before, these books would be cozy's if not for some brutality that is needed to keep the series true to itself as a revenge story. I will definitely be revisiting this series and wonderful characters soon. Again, Laural Merlington's excellent voice brings the adventure and all of these eclectic characters to life.

Did Jon Chai get what he deserved?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, because I really enjoy the series! I might be selective as to whom I'd share it with as it was quite intense after Chai was imprisioned. The punishment he received was brutal. Yet, if I were in Myra's shoes I could certainly understand her actions and those of the sisterhood.

Which scene was your favorite?

The evening out in China with Chai and friends along with the sisterhood. Love the red bag of tricks that Alexis uses!

Who was the most memorable character of Vendetta and why?

Jon Chai was memorable in his affluenza, lack of personal responsibility for his actions leading to the death of Myra's daughter and Niki's sister, and his total belief that he was above the law. Myra was memorable in her determination and her ability to follow through with her plan. She may be a southern magnolia but her backbone is made of pure steel!

Wonderful

While the action is as fast-paced as ever in a Sisterhood story, this particular story is also packed with strong emotions that evoke echoes in the reader as she gets immersed in the case and connects with Myra and the Sisters. A wonderfully written story.
