Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Michaels's Sisterhood series (Vendetta, etc.) goes out with a bang and a wink as the Virginia vigilantes—Myra, Kathryn, Alexis, Isabelle, Nikki and Anna—seek justice for Yoko Akia, a young florist. Yoko wants to punish her father, who bought, impregnated and discarded her teenage mother, who died after giving birth to her. The lethal ladies are shocked to discover Yoko's dad is none other than Michael Lyons, an award-winning film star with another nasty secret: he's been buying and selling Asian women as sex slaves to prominent businessmen. The Sisterhood's fearless male cohorts, notably Myra's pal, Charles Martin, a former British secret agent, lend assistance, but in the end the female vigilantes must confront Lyons in L.A. on their own with two nosy reporters hot on their trail. Some industrial strength glue comes in quite handy. Michaels rewrites the rules of the revenge game to include a clever—if improbable—escape clause. (Apr.)

From Booklist
In the latest in the Revenge of the Sisterhood series, Michaels brings back the usual suspects as the final lady of Pinewood gets her chance at justice. Yoko's mother was a sex slave left to die by her father, a famous actor. Not only does he dabble in sex with underage foreign girls, he also runs a profitable side business fulfilling orders from others who are so inclined. It's a shocking revelation, and the sisterhood is determined to shut him and his operation down. But along with the usual worries associated with such a mission, the reporters they thought they had seen the last of are getting close to the truth about them. Even though Yoko's revenge is sweet, it is overshadowed by the women's arrest for previous attempts of vigilantism. Can this really be the end of the Ladies of Pinewood? Michaels wraps everything up neatly and satisfactorily, but her fans will be sad to see the end of a favorite cast of characters. Maria Hatton

3.0 out of 5 stars The Gold Shields fail!, April 11, 2007

By	Linda Holmes (Delran, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Free Fall (Revenge of the Sisterhood) (Hardcover)

I LOVED this series, but was disappointed with this LAST installment.

In this one, the Sisterhood was reduced to being as inept as the Keystone Kops from the earliest Black and White movies.

How things could have gone AS badly as they did with Charles' contacts AND the Gold Shields on the job leaves me speechless!

In LETHAL JUSTICE Charles ships those two pesky reporters, both scared spitless, to NY and warns them that they best stay out of D.C; that their activities WOULD be monitored and their containment ENFORCED...yet in FREE FALL they are back without controls, to create the kind of antics that made the Keystone Kops the buffoons of the Movie's infancy.

Charles, who is personal friends with the Queen of England, and can activate the type of protections of the U.S. SECRET...SUPER Secret Gold Shields, SHOULD have been able to keep these two nuisance-mongers under better control.

As if that isn't bad enough, you have Myra and her new recruit, her friend Anna HIJACKING a taxicab and its driver?

This is the same Myra who could afford the purchase of Anna's Estate in Spain, but couldn't see to it that an appropriate vehicle is waiting for them in California?

It saddens me that the Sisters are now ESCAPED Criminals because the safeguards against Ted and Maggie fell far short of what were promised in LETHAL JUSTICE.

I LOVED the series, and I will purchase the next in this line...hopefully Charles and Myra will be back on their game as they had been up till FREE FALL...but FREE FALL leaves me mourning for the creative justice the Sisterhood had shown consistently throughout the first six titles.

Please Ms. Michaels, bring back the crisp justice of the Sisterhood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Justice for Yoko, February 15, 2007

By	Shelly Itkin "Book Lover" (Bellmore, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Free Fall (Revenge of the Sisterhood) (Hardcover)

If you follow the Sisterhood you will know that Yoko is finally getting her chance at revenge for her father. What the group did not know is who are father is and how well known he is.

The book is great and I think Yoko faces many hard obstacles in getting the revengs she waited so long for. This time it is not easy and Myra and her new friend/member Annie are getting involved more then they should and they are even told to stop the mission but we all know the sisters are our for revenge and will stop at nothing short.

Ms. Michaels is fantastic with the ideas she comes up with for revenge and dont think any of you will be disappointed with how she seeks it. I loved it and was almost not sure the mission would be accomplished.

Please don't tell us the series is ending..................it was great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sisterhood 's the Thing, January 10, 2007

By	Diana S. Hicks "avid reader" (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Free Fall (Revenge of the Sisterhood) (Hardcover)

Fern Michaels describes the importance of sisterhood for many women who have no one else. Her characters sing of the need for other women to share their problems, successes, and daily lives. No matter the difficulty, the women work together for a united end helped by Charles and Myra, sweethearts to each other and for the women.

I thoroughly enjoy Fern Michaels created qusi-family in the Sisterhood series.
