Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Phenomenally prolific and inventive, Michaels writes traditional romances and romantic suspense, and hit it big with her Revenge of the Sisterhood series about a secret group of women vigilantes. Led by Myra Rutledge, who founded the group after her daughter was murdered and justice was not served, the sisterhood seeks payback for women whose lives have been violently derailed. In the fifth title, following The Jury (2005) and Vendetta (2005), it's Isabelle's turn for revenge by any means necessary. Several years ago, she was an architect on the fast track and hired Rosemary to help her firm meet demand, having no clue that Rosemary was so self-centered and driven she would let nothing and no one stand in the way of what she wanted and felt she deserved. This cold-blooded schemer managed to get into an accident that killed three people and seriously injured Isabelle. By the time Isabelle recovered, Rosemary had stolen her clients, her husband, and her reputation. Consequently, the sisterhood cooks up an elaborate scheme to bring Rosemary down in a very public manner. Highly imaginative and always entertaining, Michaels adds a worthy chapter to this increasingly popular series. Maria Hatton

5.0 out of 5 stars Revenge is Sweet, March 14, 2006

This review is from: Sweet Revenge: The Fifth in the Revenge of the Sisterhood Series (Hardcover)

The sisterhood is back again and this time it is Isabelle's turn at getting even. Isabelle waited long enough and now she is mentally and physically ready to go after what is most important to her. Getting her reputation and her life back in order.

Everything was going perfect until that awful day she was driving with Rosemary Hersehy and the accident. As a result Isabelle lost her license, her business, her fiance, all her money and everything that meant anything to her.

Now the sisterhood with the help of it's newest addition Jack and the wonderful planning by Charles, Isabelle is finally going to get another chance at life.

From the moment you start this book knowing how the sisterhood works you wont want to put it down. It is fast paced and wonderfully written and I like that Ms. Michaels is bringing back a character from her one of her previous books (remember Nealy Diamond Clay the triple crown winner) and how she is going to help Myra and Charles with their latest plant.

They have to bring down Rosemary and that is the sisterhoods goal and mission and it is accomplished wonderfully and the way it is carried out is a great surpise but in the end you get what you have coming to you. Again Ms Michaels hats off to a wonderful and enjoyable book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Resurrection, May 23, 2007

This review is from: Sweet Revenge (Sisterhood Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)

Number Five of the Sisterhood Series delivers the sweet taste of revenge. "Sweet Revenge" by Fern Michaels keeps the reader come back for the next installment.

Isabelle Flanders' architectual career/life were destroyed when she was blamed for a drunk driving accident which took the lives of three people. Later she realized she was not driving the car and protested to no avail. She seeks out Nicky Quinn for help but the system doesn't work for her, hence her credentials are established for membership in the Sisterhood.

A fun read where nothing is simple but the almost happy endings, which are predictable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sisterhood VENDETTA, October 4, 2006

By

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Sweet Revenge (Sisterhood Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)

In Washington DC architectural circles, engaged Isabelle Flanders and Bobby Harcourt are the rising power couple as both are talented and successful. However, everything changes when Isabelle's assistant Rosemary testified in court that her boss ran a stop sign that killed a family who had the right of way. Stunned by the betrayal as Rosemary was the driver, Isabelle takes a second wicked blow when her employee steals her designs claiming them as hers. Strike three occurs when she loses her architectural license and strike four happens when Bobby dumps her and marries Rosemary.

The Sisterhood knows a series of injustices have occurred with Isabelle as the victim and Rosemary the culprit. They begin a campaign to right the wrong starting with getting Isabelle's license reinstated and obtaining clients for her. The second phase begins: to destroy Rosemary. They secretly let the media know the identities of Rosemary's lovers and begin sending her mail telling her they know the truth about the vehicular homicide. Bobby knows he made a big mistake when he dumped Isabelle for Rosemary.

The plot is implausible, but fans of the Sisterhood series will not care once they as judge and the JURY decides that the VENDETTA is just and PAYBACK is now. Rosemary is a nasty villainess who has gotten away with every dirty trick until now. The Sisterhood is moving on as they still struggle with loss and new personal relationships. For fans of the series only as Isabelle savors SWEET REVENGE.
