Sixteenth in the Sisterhood vengeance-suspense series about a group of women who bring justice to those the law leaves behind.
My Take
Again. I like Michaels' premise. I hate her execution. It's a train wreck ya just can't resist watching and this installment is no exception. It's almost embarrassing to read some of the exchanges the characters have with each other. It's kind of like they're on speed and they've condensed their thought processes into short choppy sentences that just don't connec...more

This is a book in the Sisterhood series, which I did not realize when I started it. I really think you need to read the others first, for the background info. Without having done so, there was quite a bit that I had no reference for and didn't seem to mean much. Really couldn't get invested in the storyline or characters, but I don't see that as completely the fault of the author, more my own for not having read the others in the series first. That said, I'm not sure if I will, I'm not sure I re...more

Hands down one of the worst books I've ever read. I can't believe how bad this book was. Okay, so halfway through the book I realized that the reason I had absolutely no idea what was going on was because this book is one of a series. Still - I am a firm believer that writers should write every book, including subsequent ones in a series, for a new reader. Ms. Michaels obviously didn't want to do this. So now new readers like me have to deal with the main storyline being buried in a confused mes...more
I got sucked in again by Fern Michaels. Not sure how I missed this was a Sisterhood book. Must've glanced at the back too quickly.
Is there a reason the author despises men so? Why are women portrayed so cattily and so snappish? Are men really that stupid and women that cruel?
Don't get me wrong, I do like the idea behind the Sisterhood series. It's the execution and rather the sadism that seems to get harsher with each book I don't get or like or appreciate or understand. I see no value in this...more

I didn't realize I was listening to a book late in a series. Consequently I had not idea who all of these characters were and how they were connected. The premise of the novel, ad adoption gone bad, got lost in all of the flurry of so many characters and what they could do. Everything that happened was so far fetched as to be totally unbelievable. I was very disappointed as I have read other Fern Michaels books and thoroughly enjoyed them. The narrator left a lot to be disired as well. Her attem...more
Annother Fern Michaels winner!

Jumping into the sixteenth installment of this series without reading the first fifteen showed to be a big mistake. Perhaps with more background this book might have been a better feel. However, as a stand alone ... well, I didn't care for it.
The story ... a couple having fertility problems gets a surrogate, gets twins, surrogate wants babies back, lawyer turns out to be a crook, so what now? Well, the 'Sisterhood' to the rescue of course ... and that's pretty much where it went wrong. The vigi...more

Charles is back .. Yea .. Not sure when,I must have missed a book. This series is REALLY hard to keep track of. First books when they did the Original Characters quests we're fantastic. Series seems to have lost something when they split it up and was almost disappointed in the ones without Charles. He was the backbone/"Connection" for the ops, when they could do all the Intelligence work without him, it diminished his character. Still good books just not as good as they used to was.

She's just the best! I enjoyed the fact that she didn't go back and explain things from previous books in this series. Newbies might not understand, for example, the significance of the "red bag" or who Barbara was and why she, "appeared" to Myra, etc. not having read about it in the past....but I loved not wasting my time with suff I already knew! You need to read this series in order.
The Sisterhood series continues. I think I enjoyed this one a little bit more than the others as it had a Christmas theme. I also feel like there are little hints that the series just might be wrapping up in the next book or two - unless it's just wishful thinking on my part. I can't believe this is the 16th book in the series.
The books in this series have sure varied for me in terms of number of stars. I liked this one best of all because it was more of a fun, entertaining read without so many stomach turning scenes of torture. Still very light and with an incredible, silly plot but a quick, cozy, rainy day read.

This is another good quick read in the Sisterhood series, the sixteenth of them and the second one I've read. It even has a hint of romance and drama, when they get revenge of a corrupt lawyer and his scheme to steal babies from adoptive parents. Deadly Deals takes place around winter time and good for a fun and an enjoyable read, just in time for the holidays. Enjoy!
I love this series with the Sisterhood vigilantes. It gives me
a sense of "we can make things better" in our lives and our world.
We all need the hope that our futures will be happier when we strive
for honesty and integrity in our leaders as well as ourselves.

Since this is the first one of the "Sisterhood" books (this being Sisterhood # 16) that I've read - maybe I was just lost. I just thought it was an odd storyline and didn't care for it. If I had started with #1, I may have had a different response.
The Sisterhood vigilantes series has been fun (this is #16) and if you are looking for a quick read this is it. I am now at the stage where I can almost skip half the book and get to the fun part because most of them are the same. It works for me.
Another good one! The storyline deals with crooked attorneys, naive` and greedy surrogates and the havock they create with the babies and adoptive parents. One of the Sisters gets married at the end.

The sisterhood is at it's best when they take on a cause that touches their hearts. And we even get a wedding in the story. There's plenty of action and some interesting things happen.
couldnt read it fast enough. this book was just as good as all the others. her books always seem to get better with each one she writes.
Pretty good book. I didn't know it was #16 in a series when I picked it up. Guess now I have to go back and read the first 15.
Again this book is a fun read about the vigilantes, who done't get mad, just get even. This book was the usual romp about the sisterhood!
Another in The Sisterhood series, this time exposing a crooked baby brokering ring. I always enjoy these book even though they are a bit "sugar & spice", and at time a little over the top like talking to a dead daughter or a Christmas Tree angel coming alive. :)
You gotta love a group of Vigilante Women who exact revenge on a couple of attorney's operating a kidnapping scheme. Great light read!
I enjoy Fern Michael's books. Good story and always intersting what the vigilanty group does to their victims.
This was entertaining but not as good as some of Michaels other books. Some of it was just so unrealistic.
I love Fern Michaels. Her books are my guilty pleasures. On to the next one in the Sisterhood Series.
A Sisterhood book. whilst i'm not into vigilantes, the sisterhood behind these series is powerful
I enjoy the Sisterhood Series. The books are a quick read, and the story always rights a wrong.
okay, this book was terrible. i've read a lot of her past books in this series, but still got lost in all of the references...i felt like i was attending a party with mean people that were telling jokes that i didn't get...i wouldn't recommend this to anyone, and i doubt that i will pick up another fern michaels book again.

Another good Sisterhood book continuing her series. I have to laugh reading other's reviews. It's defintely not a good idea to pick up one of these books without reading them all ~ you will lose too much with all her references from other books.
