Sisterhood #24
Eyes Only
Sisterhood Forever
Lush, exclusive Spyder Island is home to many of the world's billionaires. Years ago, Gretchen Spyder, daughter of the island's namesake, gave her twin babies up for legal adoption. Now Gretchen and her father are trying to get them back. The twins' adoptive parents are a loving but poor couple, completely outgunned by the Spyders' wealth. Their only hope lies with Myra Rutledge and her formidable Sisterhood, who are as ready as ever to fight the good fight. But nestled among the lavish mansions and immaculate landscaping of Spyder Island is a sinister enemy. And in a case that's far more twisted than it first appeared, the ingenuity, courage, and friendship of the Sisterhood will be tested as never before.
Praise for Fern Michaels and her Sisterhood novels. . .

About the author
Fern Michaels
427 books6,541 followersFern Michaels isn’t a person. I’m not sure she’s an entity either since an entity is something with separate existence. Fern Michaels® is what I DO. Me, Mary Ruth Kuczkir. Growing up in Hastings, Pennsylvania, I was called Ruth. I became Mary when I entered the business world where first names were the order of the day. To this day, family and friends call me Dink, a name my father gave me when I was born because according to him I was ‘a dinky little thing’ weighing in at four and a half pounds. However, I answer to Fern since people are more comfortable with a name they can pronounce.
As they say, the past is prologue. I grew up, got a job, got married, had five kids. When my youngest went off to Kindergarten, my husband told me to get off my ass and get a job. Those were his exact words. I didn’t know how to do anything except be a wife and mother. I was also a voracious reader having cut my teeth on The Bobbsey Twins, Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Cherry Ames and the like. The library was a magical place for me. It still is to this day. Rather than face the outside world with no skills, I decided to write a book. For some reason that didn’t intimidate me. As my husband said at the time, stupid is as stupid does. Guess what, I don’t have that husband any more. Guess what else! I wrote 99 books, most of them New York Times Best Sellers.
Moving right along here . . . Several years ago I left Ballantine Books, parted company with my agent, sold my house in New Jersey that I had lived in all my married life and in 1993 moved to South Carolina. I figured if I was going to go through trauma let it be all at one time. It was a breeze. The kids were all on their own at that point. The dump was a 300 year old plantation house that is listed in the National Registry that I remodeled. Today it is beyond belief as are the gardens and the equally old Angel Oaks that drip Spanish moss. Unfortunately, I could not get my ghost to relocate. This ghost has been documented by previous owners. Mary Margaret as we call her, is “a friendly”. She is also mischievous. It took me two weeks to figure out that she didn’t like my coffee cups. They would slide off the table or counter or else they’d break in the dishwasher. I bought red checkered ones. All are intact as of this writing. She moves pillows from one room to the other and she stops all the clocks in the house at 9:10 in the a.m. at least once a week. When the Azaleas are in bloom, and only then, I find blooms on my night stand. I have this glorious front porch and during the warm months I see my swing moving early in the morning when the air is still and again late in the day. She doesn’t spook the dogs. I always know when she’s around because the five of them line up and look like they’re at a tennis match. As of this writing we’re co-habiting nicely.
Most writers love what they do and I’m no exception. I love it when I get a germ of an idea and get it down on paper. I love breathing life into my characters. I love writing about women who persevere and prevail because that’s what I had to do to get to this point in time. It’s another way of saying it doesn’t matter where you’ve been, what matters is where you’re going and how you get there. The day I finally prevailed was the day I was inducted into the New Jersey Literary Hall of Fame. For me it was an awesome day and there are no words to describe it.
I’ve been telling stories and scribbling for 37 years. I hope I can continue for another 37 years. It wasn’t easy during some of those years. As I said, I had to persevere. My old Polish grandmother said something to me when I was little that I never forgot. She said when God is good to you, you have to give back. For a while I didn’t know how to do that. When I finally figured it out I set up The Fern Michaels® Foundation.

I've read all the sisterhood books up to this one. I have to say this may be my last! In the later books there have been discrepancies that I've been able to ignore.
Maggie lives 2,3,5 doors down from Jack and Niki
Jack and Niki were adopting a kid that never happened
Bert and Jack own the dojo, then there back in law
Maggie is not the eic then she is again
But, this book spent half its time on Hank Jellico, the one who got away. How can the author forget the book after he got away, she wrote a book where he got caught and was delivered to the FBI. I mean seriously how do you just eliminate a whole book in the series, just so you can bring back a bad guy? Is it really possible I pay more attention as a reader then the author did the books she wrote? Smh

Confused
I love the sisterhood series but.......I am wondering if Fern shouldn't have gone back and reread her own books. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, the story was still great but there was one sub plot that should not have been there. The last few books have had little details spring back up that had been put to rest in previous stories.

I loved this series when I first started it and now I just feel the author is slowly going downhill in her writing. It makes me sad because I used to love all her characters and now I feel she does not use all of them for their strengths enough, just making them dull characters. Also, while the actual plot of the story was interesting, the way she wrote the storyline was so unbelievable and laughable that none of it made sense.

Eyes Only by Fern Michaels was an interesting read. This is another book in her Sisterhood Series and is a better book than some of the other Sisterhood books, however it is still lacking.
Gretchen Spyder gave up her twins for adoption when they were first born. She chose to not tell her mother or father that she had ever been pregnant. An accident changed all that. Her parents received access to her most private secrets including the fact that she gave her babies up for adoption. Her Dad will stop at nothing to bring Gretchen's kids back to Spyder island to grow up with the Spyder name, this includes finding the father.
The father does not know that he has any children, Gretchen did not tell him, so that he could be kept safe from her family.
The Sisterhood catches the news and hears about the family who is trying to keep their 5 year old adopted children. So Myra and the Sisterhood set our to thwart the father, and get rid of at least one evil in the world.
The book was boring most of the time. There were too many characters, too much going on at times, and not enough at other times. While reading, in many parts, I wished for just a summary, so we could move on.
The end was decent and the plot was ok so I gave this book 2 out of 5 stars
I received a free copy of this book in return for my honest opinion.

Not all that much different from all the rest. Sure, the girls get their man, but they do it with very unheard of and really unbelievable means. No way could they do the things they do in reality and get away with it. This should be classified as fantasy, since that is what it really is. Frankly, I am tired of this gee whiz stuff and had trouble even going a third of the way through the book. Fern Michaels should have stopped the series when the famous Charles left. I guess she likes her $$$, since there are still readers. I get mine from the library, which is good. Now, it is just more of the same.

This is me officially giving up on this series. Unless I get a book for a present, or finish up those already given to me, I’m tapped out.
Entire plot points (hell even BOOKS are erased to serve a grand narrative that makes no world of sense. The characters are cardboard cut outs of real people, using language and exposition no one would dare to in the real world. Plus, there was some casual use of black face for a disguise that doesn’t sit well with me.
If this is how the remaining books in the series (and thus Fern’s later writings) goes, I have no time to waste on such drivel.

Storyline doesn't fit series progression
Too many inconsistencies with previous books in the series - the biggest being a huge conflict with the storyline in Deja Vu (book 19). Others in the series have had issues, most of which could have been fixed with some decent editing - like incorrect names, but this time I questioned if the book was out of sequence altogether.

Sisterhood
The sisterhood series is one of my favorites. I am always waiting for the next in the series. Looking forward to the next book.

This series of books has been so fun, I have enjoyed almost all of them. I always wonder what adventure the sisterhood will be up to next.

I love Fern Michaels Sisterhood series. It is all about revenge, but they only go after really bad people. They call themselves the vigilantes and they are an amazing group of women who go together to right some wrongs done to all of them in the past. This is #24 of the series and I never get tired of them.

Another great sisterhood book. I love reading these, lots of mystery with some romance to.. I am so glad that they find Charles finally. Hoping for another one of this series soon.

The Sisterhood is back! This story was another great mission for the "sisters and gang". I feel Ms. Michaels is getting her grove back! LOVED IT.

Love the sisterhood
I love this series. It kind of ended abruptly. I thought it would be more of a fight to get to the frog man. I do love all antics however.

I am giving this book a three because it is a bit of a formula. Apparently, this is number 24 in a serious which all more or less take the same route. A group of women, called the sisterhood, from various walks of life including an editor at a major newspaper among many others, work together to solve mysteries and make sure "justice" is served for all those mistreated that come to their attention.
Usually, I try not to allow reality to intrude on my enjoyment of a good book, but this one seemed to just pop out the red buttons. At least, that is what I found to be the case, others might not mind those same issues.
One example is that this apparently civilian group of women have access to people like the head of the FBI, who more or less follow their orders and directives if they are working a case. Another question that hit me is how many times does an apartment have to be described as luxurious and large before the people understand that fact and don't need to hear it each and every time the apartment is mentioned? In addition, everything just seems to almost magically work out correctly for the ladies and their male backup (like I said above, including the head of the FBI).
Those questions aside, this book is about a young woman who had a baby, put it up for adoption, and then had an accident and had to return to her parent's house. Now, the Sisterhood is trying to prevent the grandfather from getting ahold of the twins that resulted from that pregnancy so that the children can stay where they are happy, and in the meantime, let's punish the grandfather for being such a jerk and get the daughter out of his clutches so she can have a decent life as well.
Good story, but honestly I think it could have been 50-100 pages shorter. Just saying.

There was a lot more involved in this mission in comparison to missions in the previous books. 'The Sisterhood' is made aware of a family that has adopted a set of twins. The birth mother never informed her family, or the birth father, that she had been pregnant and given birth to the twins. As a result of a recent accident, her parents have found out about their daughter's secret. Her father, being the richest man in the world, wants the children found, as they are his blood and heirs. The Sisters want to protect the adoptive parents from this man, hide them away, and go to the man's own personal island to complete their mission. Along the way, they have located the birth father in England and bring him to the US under an alias, realize that Hank Jellicoe is also on the island and working for the rich man, and finally, that Charles and Fergus are also on the island as "guests" of Hank Jellicoe. Even with all these unexpected additions to the mission, it is completed in true Sisterhood fashion. Unfortunately, as a side mission, they wanted to get Hank back in custody, but he got away from them again, even though the FBI had a security watch on him. Another day, another mission, to get him back into custody ...

This is a fun series to read as the Sisterhood helps each one of the Sisters and a few others along the way.
---------------------
**Must read the series in order.**
Love, Love this series. Highly recommend to those that enjoy: Fast reads, Some romance, crime-suspense, mystery suspense, chic lit n romance n drama, humor, action packed suspense romance, mf. Started reading Fern Michaels in 2018.
(As I write this review I'm up to book 26. March 1st 2019. & will start book 27 next week)
Must begin with book and read them in order to understand all of the people that come into the Sisterhood and when the men start coming into it. Love the changes of the Post and how everyone works together around the table. Nothing gets discussed at the dinner table but only in the war room.
Romances develop, marriages happen, punishment/revenge happens to someone who wronged someone else whether it is someone within the Sisterhood or a random person. The sisters all work together to get through the tough times and the happy times. So many twists and turns. Love, Love reading this series. I take time off after I read a couple books and read my other genres and come back to read this series.

I really enjoyed book 24 in the Sisterhood series, "Eyes Only". It has been awhile since I'd last read a Sisterhood book but I began again last week choosing to go with the "Men of the Sisterhood" instead. After reading the first two installments of the Men, I felt I had missed something and thanks to Good Reads, I know just where I left off! "Eyes only" was a really exciting installment and it reminded me of the first books where everyone was involved in the mission, including the guys. This was Annie's case to help a poor family kept the legally adopted twins of a rich woman who is now paralyzed from the shoulders down. Gretchen Spyder is the daughter of one of the World's richest billionaires and he resides on the exclusive Spyder island complete with an army for security and the Sisterhood's biggest failure. This book will hold your interest from beginning to end and I'm glad I took a couple of years break to bring a fresh perspective to the series. Great ending to this installment with lots of surprises.

Tried listening to on 3/16/2024.
Very miso.
Talks way too much about the appearance of women ~no talk of men's personal appearance.
Geezers leering at college-age women (always referred to as 'girls', even though they're over the age of 17) and laughing about it.
And didn't one of these geezers's wife walk up on him, and he laughingly elbow-nudged his partner? I might be wrong about that.
Gross. Just gross.
Got only about 1/3 into the 2nd disk. Gave up.
Another annoying thing was the idea that the eyes told so much of what one's feelings. This has been thoroughly debunked by everyone over the age of 23.
\If this book is going to be attributed to Michaels, I'll never be reading any of their stuff again.
Further, as a birthparent, I assure you mothers don't 'give up' their children for adoption.
Human beings should never be or never be referred to as chattel.
If you feel that human beings are something another 'gives up', you truly need to sterilize yourself.
Yuck fou, Michaels
(or whoever is writing this. I have my doubts)

I'm having a few problems, lately. I'm a bit of a picky proofreader, I suppose.
Chapter 8 - Cyrus the dog has a "duck with half a beak and only one ear" ... since when do ducks have visible ears?
Chapter 10 - "His colorless eyes were deeply set over a forehead that looked like a shelf. "
No, dear. His eyes would HAVE to be set UNDER his forehead. Otherwise he truly IS alien.
Chapter 13 - Just how far from the Mainland is Spyder Island? If the trip from IAD (Dulles International Airport) is supposed to take 4 hours and 10 minutes, it's more than 267 miles and out of range of a Little Bird helicopter.

This book sinks to new lows for the series. The author cannot keep track of her characters' names or the plots of prior books. She does no research whatsoever for the wildly unrealistic events, locations, or anything else. The University of South Florida is in Tampa, not Miami, and Maggie's last name is written alternately as "Spitzer" or "Spritzer".
Unfortunately, I still have 2 more books in this series that I already bought and will read. This one was just so bad that even my usual imagining of the entire book as the plot of a Scooby-Doo episode couldn't make it better.

Win One Lose One
This book is part of a series that revolves around a group of women vigilantes and their support group. In this episode, they are after a very rich guy who is threatening the adoptive parents of his grandchildren. There are several surprises waiting for them when they finally find him. It is a good story with some great twists. For the most part, these are clean stories. There is no foul language, no bedroom scenes, and little violence. In this story, most of the violence and all of the gore is off-screen which makes it much more palatable.

I’ve read all the Sisterhood books in order and I have gotten SO lost. Jellicoe was delivered with a bow to the FBI if I’m not mistaken yet he was heading up security in this book. The Charles and Fergus storyline don’t make much sense to me either. Disappointed. I definitely feel like as much work that goes into these books that it should’ve been caught with certain mistakes.

Sooo wait a darn seconds. The sisters retired and now they are back awesome! But Hank is also back? How did he escape the FBI? How did he capture Charles and Fergus? We never get these answers. That is why I rate this so low. I feel like the mission it self was on the back burner when we have all these questions in the fore front. And poor Charles put out to pasture. I will read the next one simply to see what happens to the "vigilantes". But man

Eyes Only by Fern Michaels is a complicated book with complicated characters. It took me awhile to understand what was going on. But once I did, the story moved along crisply. The females are in charge of this story. They have the money, the power, and the guts to accomplish their goal. Justice.
Yes, the Countess Annie de Silva and Myra Rutledge and their friends do have help from men in the FBI and I think the CIA. They have help from the military, a computer whizz, and English agents. But the ladies call the shots and even rescue two captured agents. The female underlings of Annie and Myra get a bit vicious at the end to entice the bad guy to give up passwords. I skipped that part. I can’t do violence.
The author’s deep character descriptions work. The plot seems plausible. And Michaels ties everything up at the end. If you are looking for an intriguing thriller, Eyes Only by Fern Michaels is the book for you.

Don't think I ever got why this book is titled Eyes Only, but it was definitely interesting. The storyline starts off slowly as the women get involved with a strange request for help. As things unfold the story becomes more interesting as someone from their past (someone who got away) is back and involved with the mission. The action moves along nicely to a interesting conclusion.

The bad guy in this one is evil beyond evil. The book is long on talk and short on action, but lots of laughs and fun goings on. More of the original crew is back. They find and rescue Charles and Annie's beau who had been kidnapped. The Sisters' makeup genius is back too. This was one more like some of the first ones.

A lot of twists and turns to follow.
Kept me up til all hours of night, just not wanting to put it down. I also didn't want to stop reading for fear I'd get the characters mixed up if I put it down until the next time I could read again. A lot of characters! Overall, a good story. Just be sure you read at least 9 or 10 of the Sisterhood books before reading this one.

I thought this was the first book in a series. Uggh. I have never read this author on novelist and was supposed to be like James Patterson Womens murder club. It kind of was. Many characters in this book. The team goes after a billonaire who kills anyone who gets in his way. He wants his grandchildren at all cost. He has a wife and daughter who are prisoners on his private island.
