Fight or Flight
In this season's must-read for fans of Nora Roberts, Danielle Steel, and Janet Evanovich, a woman imprisoned by her painful past faces a crisis that might just set her free to claim the life she deserves.
From the comfort of her beautiful mountain-top retreat, Katherine Winston creates her bestselling young adult series, Girls with Unusual Powers. No one in the nearby small town has any idea of her true identity. To them, she’s just the reclusive woman on the mountain, and Katherine is grateful to be left alone.
It wasn’t always this way. Though her parents were as neglectful as they were wealthy, Katherine built up a busy, full life. Then tragedy struck and she retreated, panic-stricken at the idea of engaging with anyone again. Aside from her two faithful dogs who provide companionship and security, Katherine mostly interacts with people anonymously online through reader fan pages.
Now one of those fans appears to be in danger, and Katherine desperately wants to help. But that means moving beyond her isolated world for the first time in years. More and more, Katherine can’t shake the feeling that some of her fears may be justified. Someone is watching her, she’s sure of it, and they’re getting closer all the time. And only by leaving her self-imposed exile can she hope to find the answers she needs, the courage to trust again, and an unexpected new beginning . . .

About the author
Fern Michaels
424 books6,518 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.

This is a well-written, entertaining romantic suspense novel. It has a likable female protagonist, engaging secondary characters, mystery, suspense, an interesting premise, a beautiful setting, and a satisfying conclusion. I listened to the audio book, and the narrator, Ms. Susan Bennett, has a lovely voice and does an excellent job voicing the characters.

Katherine hid herself always from the world because of her self imposed trauma. She lived through the online world. But all it took was one day’s events to change all of that.
One thing about the book is the timeline didn’t match up. The prologue is 2013 and the rest is supposed to be 7 years later but an 2005 obituary was said to be just years in the past. This error should have been caught.
I loved Doc Baker and even cutting Ilene but I adored the dogs the most.
I wasn’t crazy about Katherine rewarding the villain. Bad behavior doesn’t get rewarded so I thought that part should have been changed.
Thanks to Kensington Books and NetGalley for the advance copy.

Read this in one sitting when it arrived because I just couldn't put it down. Fern Michaels has done it again!
March 8, 2025
I got this book as part of a Goodreads giveaway, thank you for the ARC, my review is my own.
Simple plot of the story
Kathrine is Author, and her significant other looses his life during the Boston Marathon incident. She gets ptsd from the incident, and has extreme agoraphobia. She moves to North Carolina to write her books. They are successful and she also inherits millions of dollars from her parents. She isolates her self up in the mountains in giant mansion with her dogs. She catfish’s a bunch of girls for most of the book, pretending to be a teenager to see what people think of her books. Eventually someone breaks in her home, and they try and figure who it is.
Unfortunately I didn’t really enjoy this book. I think it started off very interesting, with the Boston Marathon incident. Which had me hooked, but unfortunately that fire dies out quickly. When spend MOST of the book having Kathrine catfishing a bunch of teenagers. Which personally I thought was kinda weird. I get the reason behind it but still weird. And we finally get to something interesting when someone breaks in a steals from her. But she doesn’t want the cops involved and her reason for not wanting to call them is dumb. Like someone broke into your house and is wanting to hurt you… and right has the book gets interesting again, the book ends. And the whole mystery of who the person is and how they catch them is all done “ off screen”. We find out who it is and they do an epilogue saying “6 months later”.
Personally I did not enjoy this book, and I don’t recommend it. I think it has an interesting premise, but it takes way too long for things to happen and when they do it’s lackluster.

I usually enjoy a good Fern Michaels book but this isn’t one of those. The writing is fine but the way the plot comes together feels very rushed. Honestly, the book should have been longer to allow everything to come together rather than how slap dash this book was.
It started off with me thinking “oh, poor little rich girl” before morphing into more compassion for the character due to a traumatic experience she suffered. Other than just stating as fact the outcome of that trauma and the subsequent panic attacks, there really wasn’t any internal dialogue that dove deep into the psyche of the character and her justifications and deeply held trauma beliefs that kept her in a perpetual state of survival. If we had this information we would then understand how we jumped back into “poor little rich girl” mode before culminating in “overbearing entitlement”.
Also, I feel a disservice was made to people with severe mental illness by having the character go from debilitated to making an extreme recovery within a matter of minutes. It doesn’t work like that and perpetuates the stigma of negativity against those who are challenged with unseen illnesses and the impact of slow healing that doesn’t make sense to the typical (normal) person.
This could have been done better. Two stars for the story premise and decent writing. Missing adequate character development, empathic research and representation of mental illness that the novel was hinged on, and a rich tapestry of storytelling.

Katherine Winston looses a best friend during the bombing at the Boston Marathon. She retreats in the mountains and writes books for young adults. She is kept company by her two loyal dogs, otherwise she doesn't leave her home, shopping only on the internet.
She is even more fearful when she senses that someone is watching her.
Only after facing her fears, she is able to interact with people and find the culprit.
I want to thank Kensington Books for sending me this very interesting book.

I could not finish this book
Felt like I was reading a young adult book.
Didn’t like that Katherine was on line with all the young girls who read her books but she pretended to be like them so she could see what they thought of her book.
That just seemed childish. I didn’t even read ending as i had no interest in finding out how it ended. I didn’t care
I used to read Fern Michaels a long time ago and stopped . Picked this up to try again…. Nope. She will not be on my list of authors I like to read

This was an interesting book. I had trouble relating to and liking the main character, although I empathized with her mental illness. Her catfishing teenage girls was a bit strange to me. The blurred lines of her love interest wanting to be her psychiatrist was a little weird, too. That’s unethical. I saw the potential in this story, but the execution was a little off. I won this book as a Goodreads giveaway.

I won this book in a GoodReads giveaway.
This is my first Fern Michaels book. I enjoyed the first ¾ of it.
The ending felt a little bit rushed though. There were things that either didn't make sense, absolutely wouldn't happen, or were just thrown in to tie up the story. Unfortunately, the identity of the antagonist kind of falls into that third column ..

I must say i loved this book
It was so different from other

It needed more details!
And the cliffhanger at the end?!
It means will have another book??

The book starts with a bang. Katherine is an eye-witness to the bombing at the Boston Marathon and may even have seen the bomber. Unfortunately, it goes downhill from there.
The tragedy has caused Katherine to become a recluse and to shut herself away in a mansion in North Carolina. Unable to leave the house, she spends her days wrting successful novels and using delivery services for everything she needs. A succesful writer, she is fiercely protective of her identity and would rather be known as "the crazy lady on the hill" than have anyone know who she really is. When that safety net is threatened, she has to decide whether to retreat further or to finally face the world.
My problem is that Katherine is not very likable. Despite being told how beautiful and smart and kind she is, her actions contradict those assertions. She makes snap judgements about people; disliking someone because they make a comment about dogs, assuming a receptionist is a gossip, calling a doctor "one of those" when he uses the word "cool," and labeling a police officer "misogynistic" when he asks normal investigative questions. She continuously bemoans the fact that she was bullied in school because of her accent, but from her actions as an adult, it may be because she was a snob.
The mystery is an afterthought, with most of the action taking place in the last fifth of the book. Everything is resolved at lighting speed without a satisfying explanation.

Enjoyable book. I felt there was a lot of build up then a rush to complete the story. It was a good story, a bit predictable and I personally had many twist possibilities thoughts that didn't develop which is fine but I felt there was a lot of potential left on the cutting room floor. It may seem I'm not recommending this book but I do. It was a pleasant story to read, it was just I saw a lot of missed opportunities in the storyline. It felt rushed as mentioned at the end, but clearly good enough for me to go back and find another written by the author.
February 9, 2025
3.5 Stars - I did really like this book and the characters. Some of it seemed far fetched and some of it took too long to move along, but the story was good and kept me interested. The ending happened abruptly. I would have enjoyed seeing this developed more.
Thank you to Penguin and Goodreads for the opportunity to read this book in advance!

I received this book from a Goodreads giveaway. I was underwhelmed with this book. The beginning was interesting and reeled me in. But the storyline was very drawn out and the ending was very lacking.
March 26, 2025
Too much description where it wasn’t necessary and not enough where it was needed. The idea is good but the execution was not. I really like this author but this was a no for me.
March 21, 2025
Received an advanced readers copy, Thank you Goodreads! This book was excellent! Has some unexpected twists and turns.

As always Fern Michaels' story doesn't fail to impress a page turner of what I consider a thrilling experience quite an awesome story
January 22, 2025
Thanks to the talented author and to Goodreads for this interesting, new novel. It was appealing, absorbing and a bit different. Katherine suffered trauma during the Boston Marathon. Her boyfriend was killed in the bombing. She hides out for 10years and can’t leave her home. She suffers from agoraphobia. Then, her home is broken into. She meets Tyler who just happens to be a psychiatrist. I really was surprised that this story ended so soon but still pleased it ended pleasantly!
March 26, 2025
I received this in a contest through Goodreads. I really enjoyed the story. Some seemed a bit of a stretch and the ending was rushed. All in all I liked the characters and the storyline. Would have a liked a bit more in the ending.
January 17, 2025
Terrific.
January 4, 2025
I enjoyed the book and I can't imagine having that condition.
April 11, 2025
Huge violation of professional ethics - I could not get past the relationship between the protaganist and the love interest/ psychiatrist. So totally inapproprate for a Dr. to treat a patient and date her at the same time! It ruined the.whole book for me. Also so completely unbelievable that the character is cured of agrophobia in one day. Just too far fetched!

Ok I usually love Fern Michaels, but did she get a new coauthor? This book had so much wrong with it. So many stories not explained. Mental illness cured in one day. Her old best friend’s obituary said she died in 2005, the Boston Marathon bombing was in 2013, and her recluse life was 7 years later, which would be 2020. But she says her old best friend died 2 years ago. Who edited this? Am I the only one that caught that? The book is 2025, so what’s the deal with making it 2020 and no mention of Covid. Lol And really? Someone has been in her house multiple times over the years and she never knew? How did he get Duckie? And her car. Nothing made sense.
Then the epilogue, all is forgiven, she loves crowds and sees two people from her past and brings up an attack in Africa? That was never mentioned in the story. Did she tell Karrie the truth? I was so into the story but so much was incorrect or left undone. Not Ferns best….

I enjoyed the premise of the story, where agoraphobic Katherine is confronted with someone invading her sanctuary. However, the author’s attempt to excuse her actions due to a traumatic past and her sudden recovery after a man seemed forced. The romance was underdeveloped, and the mystery conclusion was disappointing. The setup and her anxiety were drawn out, making the overall experience feel like a waste of time.
August 29, 2025
I was disappointed in this one. I couldn't understand the Katherine's motives for being so secretive about who she was and why she was hiding. I was also not a fan of Tyler wanting to be both her psychologist and her potential romantic partner. Choose one at a time. I did like Doc and the dogs were great. I wish more time had been taken to make the ending less abrupt and I would have thrown out most of the epilogue.
May 4, 2025
I always look forward to a new Fern Michaels book and this one did not disappoint. The main character Katherine Winston retreats to the mountains after experiencing a tragic event. As she begins to rebuild her life she also must deal with a crippling case of agoraphobia. This is a well written romantic suspense book that has likable main character and interesting secondary characters. The story is fast paced engrossing mystery with a satisfying ending. There is a cliffhanger at the end so maybe there is more to Katherine’s journey. Thank you to Between the Chapters and Kensington Books.

Ugh - mental illness of many years resolved in 10 minutes with just a little encouragement? A world class author who has only 5 followers on her "friends" page?? A psychiatrist who gives a random near-stranger benzodiazepines and then spends the night on her couch?? And what's up with the guy who drops of his horses? Why? And after all of these years, EVERYTHING starts, evolves and is resolved in a weekend???
February 19, 2025
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. It held my attention and I wanted to know how it was going to end but it abruptly ended and wasn’t realistic. She was magically cured of seven years of agoraphobia overnight. She was going to date her psychiatrist? Probably wouldn’t have picked it up if I hadn’t won it.

I’ve got a question. This maybe a spoiler alert for those who haven’t finished reading it. Who the heck was Helen?? Last line in the book. She was the lone survivor of the African safari nightmare and I couldn’t remember her being mentioned the story. Can anyone help me here?

I don't give away any spoilers in my reviews.
I have read many of Fern Michaels' books - especially The Sisterhood and the Men of the Sisterhood series. I enjoy her thorough character writing and love feeling like I have a complete picture of her characters.
At first, I though the Katherine Winston character in Fight or Flight was the same Kathryn Winston in Sisterhood. However, it's not listed under the Sisterhood list of books so I'm honestly not sure. Either way, I loved both of the characters.
Katherine - who is called K by her friend Doc, is an agoraphobe who lives alone with her two German Shepherds, Sam and Sophie. She lives in a large mansion and has not set foot outside in seven years.
K is also K.C. Winston, the YA author of a series called Girls With Unusual Powers. She does have a secret online persona so she can monitor fans on her page.
K has led a habitual life for many years and is forced to break that habit and face her panic attacks from agoraphobia. Doc helps her but I don't want to share any spoilers. Suffice it to say, it's a great, heart-pounding at times read. K feels she's being watched and things escalate from there.
Thoroughout reading this, I kept thinking, if this is a different Katherine (which I think it is), please please please let this be a new series. From the perfect, heart stopping ending, I think it just may be.
I loved seeing K overcome her fears and also loved her interactions with her dogs.
Great read from one of my favorite authors.

Thoroughout reading this, I kept thinking, if this is a different Katherine (which I think it is), please please please let this be a new series. From the perfect, heart stopping ending, I think it just may be.
I loved seeing K overcome her fears and also loved her interactions with her dogs.
Great read from one of my favorite authors.
