Weekend Warriors

By Fern Michaels

'Like Charlie's Angels, the education and expertise of these women is spectacular . . . The dialog and level of suspense is reminiscent of an action-packed television series' Library Journal

The first in the bestselling Sisterhood series, Fern Michaels’ Weekend Warriors introduces the story of Myra Rutledge - a woman devastated by her pregnant daughter’s death, a hit-and-run by a man who claims diplomatic immunity. Myra is lost in her grief until she switches on the news one evening and sees a woman taking matters into her own hands. An idea is born . . .

With the help of her daughter’s best friend, defense attorney Nicki Quinn, Myra draws together an unlikely band of vigilante women who all have something in common - all have been wronged by the US justice system, and all are looking for revenge.

Their first target is the Weekend Warriors, a trio of brutal bikers who are guilty of raping one of the sisterhood, Kathryn Lucas. Using power and strength they didn’t know they had the women carry out a plan of ultimate revenge . . .

New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels gives her readers exactly what they want - powerful women persevering together when life gets them down, perfect for fans of James Patterson, Sue Grafton or the Netflix series Good Girls.

This is my first Fern Michaels book and I am glad that I am finally on board. This first I'm series is completely different than what I expected. It is not romance, which I thought was FM's MO. It turned out to be more of a female drama/ suspense, with some kick ass women with smarts. The woman are seeking vindication for crimes against them that were not handled fairly by the law. I love this cast of characters. Mara, Charles and Nikki are my favorites, but they are all pretty great. Jack, although not likable, adds an interesting element and is fun to hate. I look forward to more in series.

Ummm... this book is poorly written. The author tells everything, doesn't let anything unfold. And it's all done by dialogue that doesn't feel normal. People just don't talk like this; the only reason why they talk the way they do in this book is because the author wants to tell the story to us by spelling it all out.I'm sure it's a feel-good get-even story going on but the stupid conversations (i.e. the main character will have a conversation with her foster-mother and start it with "remember when I was 12 and such and such happened?") were just too much for me.

A bit "out there".

A guilty pleasure. If you want a quick read without too much thought needed, this is your novel. It is fun while being unrealistic to a fault.

This is the first in the Revenge of the Sisterhood series. A distraught mother is unable to do anything about her daughter's death as it was a hit-and-run by the son of a diplomat. She enlists other lady professionals to take care of those unreachable (outside the law). This is a well-executed plan by an amazing group of ladies.

My mother got hooked on this series, and talked about it so much that I thought I would give it a try. What a fun book! A group of women who have been seriously wronged take justice in their own hands, but murder is not the solution. Very easy and fast read.
