Product Description

They Can Run, But They Can’t Hide From The Sisterhood. 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 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…

From Publishers Weekly
It isn't easy to root for the vindictive women in Michaels's Revenge of the Sisterhood series. Sure, they're loyal and fearless, and they look good in eveningwear ("We're stunning," lawyer Nikki says. "We sizzle and we look sensual"). But in this third installment of the payback saga, the six women commit a morally repugnant act likely to leave readers cold. Myra and her longtime lover, retired MI6 agent Charles, finally discover the whereabouts of John Chai, the man who killed their daughter in a hit-and-run accident five years earlier and fled to China. So Charles and three of the "girls" fly Myra's Gulfstream to Hong Kong, where they drug "greasy, oily, unctuous" Chai, disguise him as a sick old man and sneak him back to Myra's Virginia estate. Back home, Charles makes the women banana-and-macadamia-nut pancakes, and they frolic outdoors with their new snowmobiles. Then they retire to rat-infested underground tunnels where they don hooded robes and proceed to torture Chai in "a ceremony of sorts." Other than this wildly improbable scenario, there's not a lot going on. Michaels nips the subplots before they have a chance to create any tension, and her indistinguishable characters, unfazed by their sadistic conduct, have little to do besides eat well and cheer each other on.

From Booklist
Welcome to the latest installment in Michaels' Revenge of the Sisterhood series. Myra Rutledge founded the sisterhood when her daughter's killer, who had diplomatic immunity, was deported back to his native China. Funded with her fortune and run with the help of her companion, Charles, a former operative for Her Majesty in MI6, and several young ladies who also were denied justice, and who each have their own special skills, the sisterhood works outside the law to help those in need. It is now Myra's turn to exact a little vengeance. The plan is to fly to China, kidnap her daughter's killer, the playboy son of a wealthy former ambassador to the U.S., and bring him to their compound. Charles and three of the ladies wing their way on a private jet to Hong Kong, but someone's quest for revenge against the sisterhood interferes with their plans. Readers may feel a bit squeamish as the vendetta is actualized, but Michaels' writing is as intriguing and fast paced as ever. Maria Hatton

Review
"Michael's writing is an intriguing and fast paced as ever" Booklist on Vendetta "Readers will enjoy seeing what happens when well-funded, very angry women take the law into their own hands" - Booklist on Weekend Warriors "A quick-paced suspense thriller... will also attract teen readers" - Booklist on Split Second "A heart-pounding romantic thriller. As fast paced and exciting as always, Michaels' work offers more thrills than romance this time around" - Booklist on Picture Perfect"

Mission Accomplished
Myra Rutledge has waited patiently for her turn to seek revenge for the death of her daughter who was killed by John Chai and whom justice failed to serve since he got diplomatic immunity.
Well the time for revenge has finally arrived and now with the help of the sisterhood its' Myras turn.
As the girls meet for this mission Charles has informed them that only three of them along with himself will be going on this mission and Myra is not one of those chosen.
Ms. Michaels has a way of putting you in the drivers seat and actually going along for the mission. There are many twists and turns along the way but of course we know that the final mission will be accomplished.
I must say between Charles and Alexis and her bag of tricks all the unbelievable things seem to just fall into place.
As in the previous series Jack still wont leave Nikki alone but as she has proven to the group this is where her loyalty is.
I recommend it as a wonderful way to relax on a nice hot summers day and am sure you wont be able to put it down.
The special touches that come from Barbara at just the right moments make it even more believable.
Way to go Ms. Michaels another FANTASTIC BOOK.

Horrible!
Someone had hit and killed Maya's daughter as she was crossing the street. For revenge, Maya and her friends capture him, imprison him and cane him until he is disfigured.

This is sick. No matter how much you would hate the person who killed your daughter, nothing like this will make her come back, or make you feel any better.

The author does a poor job portraying the driver of the car as an evil person the reader would want sucha thing to happen too.

Stupid and Sick
I've read many of Fern Michaels' books and have enjoyed all of them. I am currently reading Vendetta and am quiting at the halfway point, which I NEVER do. The story is so unbelieveable and stupid, and now it's looking to turn sadistic. I just can't believe this is the same author I've read before!!!
