Book Description

Publication Date: May 26, 2009 | Series: Sisterhood Series (Book 13)

Just returned to their mountaintop hideaway in the wake of their latest successful mission, the seven fearless friends have barely had time to enjoy a celebratory dinner with their mentor, Charles Martin, when they’re embroiled in a new adventure. In the middle of the night, the Sisters are awakened by an alarm bell. Suspecting intruders, they run to the compound, only to see Myra and Charles rushing towards a helicopter. Within seconds, the two have flown away, with no explanation besides a mysterious note from Charles: I’ve had an unexpected personal emergency. I don’t know when or if I will return. Still reeling from this turn of events, the Sisters receive an urgent call from retired justice Pearl Barnes, who's just rescued fourteen pregnant teenagers who belong to a highly secretive polygamy sect. Now, with Charles and Myra missing, the remaining members of the Sisterhood must rally together to save the girls. This time, the Sisters are doing it by themselves – and everything is on the line…

This review is from: Under the Radar (The Sisterhood) (Hardcover)

In Under the Radar we actually learn more about Charles then we have in all the sisterhood series. Don't know about Ms. Michaels other fans but I always wondered if Charles was just too perfect well in this book we actually learn some secrets about Charles that will surprise all of us.
When Charles and Myra have an unexpected emergency the rest of the sisterhood is left on there own.


Retired justice Pearl Barnes has rescued 14 pregnant teenagers who are part of a polygamysect needs help and she needs it fast. Without Charles to instruct them on how to accomplish the mission the girls are on there own and believe me with no real plan in sight they have a huge mission to accomplish.

Once you are one of the chosen or the cream of the crop you are given to Prophet Harold Evanrod and your job is to reproduce.

You will not believe the things these young girls have endured and it is a must read to see how the girls hope to help these girls without the guidance of Charles.

They have everyone involved Lizzy is fantastic as are Espinosa,Maggie and all the other members it is a must read and one you will be thrilled you purchased another A+++ for Ms. Michaels

This review is from: Under the Radar (The Sisterhood) (Hardcover)

As in all the Sisterhood Series books, this a very good book. I love these books and I have never gotten so involved in reading books as much as I have this series.
Finally, stories of where Justice does over come the injustice of the world.
I highly recommend these books, I have never enjoyed books as much as I have these and I read a lot. I have read many good books, but this series I feel that I know the characters peronally.
I want to belong to the Sisterhood.

This review is from: Under the Radar (Sisterhood Series, No. 13) (Paperback)

I only bought this book because I was on holiday in Spain and this was one of very few books in English sold in the local bookstore. I thought it might be interesting because of the topic: Polygamist sects in modern day America. Being a fan of the TV-show "Big Love" I thought this might be a good read. But I was disappointed.

For one thing, there are a whole bunch of characters who are supposedly our "heroes" in this story, with so many different names and so little information about who they are, that the whole thing becomes quite confusing. Secondly the whole story about the polygamist compound is very one-sided and the way the heroes threat the heads of the compound is just laughable. They're shaving the heads of the women (remember Holocaust, anyone?)and threaten their prophet to cut his penis off. Wow... did a 14 year old boy write this? They're doing this to rescue the young girls at the compound. Unfortunately the book doesn't go into how what happens afterward with these young girls, they're simply taken somewhere to be taken care of. Just when you thought something interesting might happen.

After having read the book I'm still not sure what the "Sisterhood" is, or what brought them together, or who the different members are. Or why they live together on a mountain. And quite frankly, I don't care.
