PULL A FAST ONE?
NOT ON THE SISTERHOOD'S WATCH ...

There are some things that a group of gracious ladies just can't overlook --- and doing one of their friends dirty is at the top of the list. That's the mission of the Sisterhood, seven women who would do anything to help out one of their clan, especially when it means righting a wrong. And Isabelle Flanders has definitely been done wrong.

Her former colleague, the conniving Rosemary, did everything in her power to ruin Isabelle, from framing her for a terrible drunk driving accident to stealing her fiance and her architecture firm. Now, Isabelle's formerly lovely life is in tatters while Rosemary scoops up the spoils. It's enough to make any friend's blood boil. Rosemary may think she's flying high, but she's about to tangle with the Sisterhood. And when the Sisterhood is on the case, revenge is swift, delicious, and oh-so-sweet ...


Sweet Revenge (Sisterhood #5) Reviews


  • Tanisha Peck

    This book in the series seemed unfinished. Fern Michaels normally cleans up the loose ends in the epilogue, but not this time. Did Isabelle keep the architect offices? What about Bobby, her ex? That was left unresolved. Fern even had an opening for Isabelle to explain her side of things and for Bobby and her to get on the same page about what happened, but instead she had Isabelle push him out the door and that's it. Case closed. A bit more time should have been spent on this one instead of trying to churn out the next book.
    I hesitate to continue the next in the series. Perhaps I need a break. Myra and Charles are getting on my nerves. How many times do I need to be reminded that they are the loves of eachother's lives.

  • Chatting About Cozies

    Entertaining story. I’m still reeling from the deaths of the characters who were killed off in book four. I didn’t like this story as well as I did the previous stories, but it was a good revenge story.

  • Mahoghani 23

    This book was funny, entertaining and interesting to read.

    Linn met Nick Pemberton when she was seventeen. She had a week affair with him and ends up pregnant. When her abusive father finds out, he throws her out of their home. Linn tries to contact Nick but her letters were returned unopened.

    19 years later, Linn takes Will her son, to NYU freshman orientation and sees Nick as one of the guest speakers. Linn decides to take revenge into her own hands but someone with a higher power may beat her in getting to Nick.

    A series I will enjoy reading.

  • Bookish Enchantment (Katherine Quirke)

    Who says revenge isn't sweet? This revenge is one of the sweetest I have ever seen. This team of women know how to turn wrongs into well rights...

  • Linda

    Michael's Sisterhood series is a great read for when you want something to just relax and unwind. I love the twists and turns these books take. Six women bond together to right the wrongs they have suffered at the hands of a justice system that is not always just. Myra, a grieving mother whose daughter is killed by a hit and run driver with diplomatic immunity. Nikki, a lawyer who was raised by Myra after her parents' deaths and was the daughter's best friend. Kathryn, a rough and tough truck driver who was raped by a group of weekend motorcycle "gang" member while her husband Alan (an invalid) is forced to watch. Alexis, an African American broker who is framed on embezzlement charges and spends time in prison. Julia, a plastic surgeon whose philandering husband (a U.S. senator) gives her HIV. Isabelle, a gifted architect who loses everything when a partner in her firm claims that she was drunk and behind the wheel when the car the partner is driving runs a stop sign and hits another car killing a family of three. And Yoko, a nursery owner whose mother was brought to the U.S. as part of a human trafficking scheme.
    Vigilantes at their best. As they say, "Karma is a bitch", and when the ladies of the Sisterhood get their sights on you, you better pray that their version of karma is a bit better than what you actually deserve. To add more delicious twists to the series plot, there's a DA who first tries to thwart the Sisterhood and then well, you read the first four books to discover what happens to him. Then there is the the intrepid reporter, friend of the DA, who just knows something illegal is going down and he is determined to uncover the scandal along with a gossip columnist from the same paper. 33 books in the series and this is just book #5. Now on to book #6.

    Isabelle Flanders is the next one up for a Sisterhood revenge. Her former colleague, Rosemary Hershey, ruined her career and framed her for a drunk driving accident that left 3 dead. She also stole Isabelle's fiance. Now Rosemary will feel what it is like to lose it all.

    I can't get enough of this series. The characters are great and the friendship they share is amazing. The tactics they use are brutal, but no one, usually, gets hurt physically. There have been a few rather violent revenge plans in the past.
    Isabelle deserves payback for what Rosemary did to her and I did feel a bit bad for her, but Rosemary's attitude toward everyone made that feeling dissipate over the course of the story. She is just a mean person who wants it all her way.
    Nikki and Jack are still together and Nikki has made him an official silent member of the Sisterhood. He ends up helping them, again, in his own special secret way at the end of the book. He may act like he's not comfortable with what the girls are doing, but I think he actually enjoys watching them do their thing.
    Each girl has her own special talent and they are all very resourceful. Charles is the main source of outside help and Myra handles the money side of it all, but I have no doubt that these girls would be able to find a way to continue their activities without their help. It would be less fun though.

    OK so Jack is coming around somewhat! He is still torn on right from wrong and taking the law into your own hands.
    Isabelle was wronged by a co worker, she ended up loosing everything. When her name was pulled, she knew what she wanted. With the help of Charles of course her plans were set into action.
    Myra and Charles kind of set this one out, I mean they were there in the book, yet you didn't read about them as much. Nikki had to take a back seat as well because of Rosemary had went to her law firm to obtain a lawyer, and Nikki didn't want to be seen there.
    Love how Alexis can dress the woman up to play a part and do it exceptionally well. Yoko, even though she seems shy at times, she will get down to business and make you pay.
    Oh wait..............the part of the plan to get Rosemary to confess her crimes. Oh that was a doozy. I seriously thought Rosemary was a goner. Like the woman say "they are not murderers" This is where Jack pops in as well. He knew what was going to go down and he sat on the sidelines watching. When the 2 reporters from the Post show up, he sprung into action.
    It was nice to see that Isabelle got her revenge. I wonder if we will see if she kept her company that they created to help her get the justice she wanted. Plus how much more is Jack going to intervein before he is brought into the fold fully?

    Not sure whether I had read this book.... But have read many after this.... Interesting to read an older one to see the old relationships. Do love this series....

    Sometimes revenge is served best sisterhood style! When a hard-working architect is destroyed by the woman who was supposedly her right hand man, the sisterhood helps her bounce back. Framed for an alcohol fueled and run murder, her award winning design stolen, and her fiancé hoodwinked by another woman, Isabel has lost everything. Play by panic attacks and suffering from memory loss of the day in question, she can’t fight back in court. A jury finds her guilty and absolves her former friend of any wrongdoing. To add insult to injury, the architecture board has suspended her license to practice for five years or until she pays an incredibly steep fine.
    When she meets the ladies of the sisterhood, she is living in poverty, depending on food stamps and working a minimum wage job to pay her bills. The ladies decide to help her vindicate herself and help her take the best kind of revenge against her enemy, living well with a clean conscience.

    **This review is for the audiobook on Audible.**

    Sweet Revenge: Revenge of the Sisterhood #5 by Fern Michaels, narrated by Laural Merlington is one of my favorite series. I have only listened to the audiobooks, mainly because the narration is amazing! I still cannot believe Laural Merlington is really only one person....wow! I highly recommend readers start at the beginning of the series to get an understanding of how and why the Sisterhood was formed. These books are outstanding, and I am highly confident you will thoroughly enjoy them. 5/5 stars across the board!

    Thank you for reading my review. I hope it was helpful. Happy listening! :-)

    Isabelle Flanders has finally gotten her revenge on Rosemary Hershey, by driving her crazy and getting her to confess that she was set up. The girls have completed another of their missions, but reporters Ted Robinson and Maggie Spritzer are always right behind them, every step of the way. Thanks to Jack and some of his friends, they were able to put them out of commission during the last part of the mission, so they wouldn't interfere. Now they are on to their next mission, to get revenge for Alexis, now that she is ready for it.

  • Joan Lloyd

    Actually the story gets a five. It's always great to get back at someone who's wronged you and these ladies do it in style and with flair. However the books are heavy into folks from previous stories. If it's been a while (as it has with me) since you read previous volumes and you've forgotten all the characters that went before, it gets really confusing. If you binge read from one volume to the next it probably works fabulously, but for me, I get lost and cease caring.

    The Sisterhood series is entertaining and makes you wonder what is going to happen next. I normally don't agree with vigilantism, but this series is entertaining and definitely not gruesome. You find yourself pulling for the sisterhood when they get in a bind, which often happens and enjoy the dynamics between the different characters. Thoroughly enjoying the series even though it's an older series

  • DelAnne Frazee

    Revenge is a dish best served cold.

    Jack chooses were his loyalties lie. Isabelle gets even with the woman who destroyed her life and Ted proves himself to be a more dangerous advisory than Jack ever was.

    Filled with numerous twist and tuns this thriller showcases Fern Michael’s gripping and suspenseful writing style.

  • Marika Chunyk

    This is the 5th in the series and I like the revenge they had in store for the girl that ruined her life. It almost went wrong, when they get unexpected help. Isabelle Flanders has it all until someone that she trusts steals her design and ruins it all for her. Building her career back up and becoming the architect she is supposed to be is nothing but sweet revenge.

  • Mary Baker

    This novel gives us Isabelle's story. She has been seriously betrayed by a young woman she helped and trusted. When she gets the chance to get revenge on her once-friend, she decides to take it. With the help of the Sisterhood, it isn't long before the action begins. This author writes a fun book that provides a good escape.

  • Jool

    This series is fun to read. These books are very light, beach reads, but they keep me interested because they play to every woman's fantasy of getting revenge on that one person in your life who did you wrong. A great, fun series.

  • Suzie

    I read this series with my mother and aunt, both of whom have passed. While sorting books, this one came up and I knew I would enjoy it again! I just hope I can unbox the rest of the series. Revenge is sweet in the friendships of the Sisterhood ! Satisfying reads!

  • Carrie Naisbitt conley

    Very. Interesting

    Number 5 was a better read than the last one. The ladies did another job and it was well done. Love how Ms. Michael's comes up with the plans and makes them happen.

  • Patricia M Lewis

    Amazing

    How does this author come up with so many different ways to seek revenge? A really good suspenseful story and all without sex distracting the reader. I love that the characters carrying forward from book to book. The sad parts, although not primary to the story, are sad.
