Fourth in the Sisterhood vengeance and suspense series revolving around a group of women vigilantes seeking their own brand of justice for the wrongs done to or against them.The StoryIt's Nikki's turn for vengeance and she's thoroughly confused. She's sure that the ladies expect her to want retaliation against Jack Emery for trying to find evidence against them and that's not what she wants. In fact, she wants just the opposite. And isn't that going to throw a spanner in the mix!Luckily, she fin...
Setting: Pinewood; Washington DCTheme: Justice; protection; trust/love;Characters:Nikki Quinn: she goes on a ‘forced’ vacation for 3 months on a reclusive island, and returns home to her turn for revenge… though she not outright wronged as the others; she has no desire to go after Jack, and initially takes up cause against Myra’s horse raising neighbors – the Barringtons – who neglect their horses, allowing 8 to die; she takes on a new hire in her law firm, who defended the Barringtons; but when...
this book was so disjointed. you spend half the book or more reading about the horse problem and THEN it switches to the wife abuse. Sometime before that you also have a problem with a lawyer.....it was like 3 stories in one and 2 were never finished. I've read other books by FM but seriously this one stunk.
Entertaining! There is foul language and violence in case a reader is sensitive to that.
What happens when those in high places use their power to abuse their family, thinking they can get away with their crimes just because of who they are? That is the basic essence of "The Jury." I was intrigued by the write-up on the back of the book, however when I started reading it wasn't until half-way through the story that Paula Woodley, the victim, showed up and the real meat and potatoes of the novel started to piece together. Until then, I was tempted, numerous times, to just put the boo...
Okay, I've read Fern Michaels before and I was disappointed by this book. The story was all over the place and the book was so short. I really feel she didn't give enough time to really play out all the characters and background to make this a good book.
Just too much. Theres too much going on in this story. It jumped from one situation to another without resolving some of them. It's Nikki's turn to exact out her revenge but before she makes a selection, she has a mental situation that causes her to take a sabbatical. On her return, it appears that all heck has broke loose. I like that these women are determined to exact vengeance for the crimes committed against them. They support one another and will take each other's secret to their grave. Th...
This is like an ongoing soapie that snares you in because it is simple and interesting. This book did not have as much development of characters as previously and had a touch of romance to soften the revenge being undertaken.
Once again...nothing good to say. However, I am ashamed to admit that I seem to be aggravatingly addicted. The narrator is alright as far as the main characters voice goes, but when she pulls in characters such as Myra, Charles, Jack, etc....she's totally unbearable to listen to. Remember that monotone voice from the TTS function...that would be much more suitable here.Character developments are way off the realm of description. For example try to picture a tough, female semi-truck driver. We al...
Fern Michael's Sisterhood series continues to grow more annoying and ridiculous with each book. The Jury is the worst yet. These stories are corny, far-fetched and at this point, I'm not sure if I will see the series through.I can understand desperately wanting to see justice served, but these women take their revenge too far. I am often appalled at what they do in carrying out their (sometimes violent) missions.To top it all off, I am becoming more and more apathetic towards the characters in t...
I just love this series! A group of women taking no crap from people who have wronged them.
I'm not sure about the title of this novel although I can think of some possibilities. Although Nikki and Jack are both lawyers, they have yet to be in a courtroom setting for very long. In this novel, the sisterhood decides to avenge a badly beaten woman who is the wife of a national leader. There is a fair amount of action in the plot to keep the reader's attention. It is another good novel that provides a good escape for a few hours.
Probably my least favorite so far in the series, but I will keep reading on!
The JuryOne review I read says exactly what I feel “I don’t know why I keep reading these books” I skipped #3 because several reviews said it was brutal, and it was referred to in this book and it was vicious, so I’m glad I didn’t read it. Again there were many editorial errors. Eg: Nikki went off to “the island” to recover from all that had happened so they delayed the next mission, Charles said they would reconvene September 1. At the end of September, Nikki was still on the island getting rea...
After a drunk driver runs over her daughter and escapes the consequences, Myra Rutledge sets up a group of women to take revenge outside the law. In this book, Nikki, her adopted daughter, takes revenge against a high-powered abusive husband.This was a confusing book. There are two major revenge schemes, that of the horses and of the NSA, and they are cobbled together rather unconvincingly. I wished the author picked one and stuck to it. I was glad that Jack was finally let in on the secret, tho...
Sisterhood #4At the end of book #3 Nikki's name was chosen. After everything that happened Nikki just needs a break. What can go wrong if Nikki spends a month or three on an Island incommunicado? Well Myra stubbles upon neglected horses and reports it, and things sotra go down hill. So half the book is about that and of course brings them into the Sisterhoods spotlight.The other half is a surprise visitor that deperatly needs their, the Sisterhoods, help. Pauly Woodley was brought out to the far...
This is one of the most stupid books I've read. The story was all over the place - the original problem these "ladies" were supposed to solve was dropped in the middle of the book and never solved.I also think that while the idea of getting justice for those who can't get it on their own seems appealing, I think these "ladies" go way too far and the boyfriend, reporter, etc wouldn't really go along with all this.
Just AverageI have read the previous books in the series and enjoyed them. However, I was expecting more from this book. I couldn’t feel a connection with the characters, and can find nothing to like about Jack. It seemed as if the book was written just to have it written. I won’t be continuing with the series.
While this was a good book, I can't say its a favorite of mine of the series. Since I didn't read them in order, that could have something to do with that. I now have them lined up to finish in the right order and that should take care of that. It does give us an update on Julia, for those who have been following these stories. It also is the book where Maggie Spritzer is introduced and the other reporter Ted starts "working'' with her. They both are looking for The Pulitzer and are only willing...
