Excellent as usual....love catching up with this cast of characters. I like how the Vigilantes think! ( )

Because you enjoy Debbie Macomber, you may also enjoy Fern Michaels. This is part of the Sisterhood Series and is about a group of strong women who are out for justice.

Having read all of the Sisterhood books to date, I did not feel this was as good or as captivating as many of the others. It gets long and draggy in places. It just seemed harder to stay with this one. ( )

I have read all of the Sisterhood novels, so I knew what I was getting when I received this one from NetGalley to read and review. If you have read the others, all I can say is that this is more of the same. However, the plot of this one was not as complex or detailed as some of the plots in the other books. In this one, four men, who are known as the “best” lawyers around town, and their client, the current Speaker of the House, gang up to preempt Nikki, her law firm and her “sister” vigilantes, from scoring a win in the divorce proceedings of the Speaker. Everyone knows, up front, the four lawyers play dirty whenever they work a case and the Speaker is just another member of their “gang” this time, so, Nikki and her cohorts prepare to stop them from this before the lawyers know what is happening. Of course, there are themes, ideas, actions, etc. that defy reality/credibility, but, if you have read any of the other books in the series, you are prepared to accept this as part of the Sisterhood lore. The book is well written and reads easily and quickly. The characters come across as true to form, based on other books. I am not sure whether this is a good stand-alone book, as there is not a lot of back-story about the characters or who they are/represent and how they interact, so a new-to-the-series reader might have difficulty understanding or appreciating the characters and their interactions throughout the story. As I said, the plot of this one is rather thin. It felt as if the author was rushing through the story to get to the finale. Again, finding a dog who can do what Nikki’s and Jack’s dog can is not easily believed. It would take a lot of time and training, and, based on their lives as described in the books, I am not sure Jack really has that much time to spare. However, stretching credibility/reality is part of the series story line--and probably attraction. This is a book fans of the series will enjoy. It also might attract others to the series, if the new-to-the-series reader can stick with it. ( )
