About the author
Fern Michaels
426 books6,523 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 give up. 25 books into this series and I simply have to throw in the towel.
This series is aimless, ridiculous, and a mere shell of the former glory it's earlier works promised. Although from the drivel I just endured, I have to wonder if those books were even as good as I recall!
The plot is ludicrous, hinging on a prominent wife and supermodel going missing for five years and no one batting an eye until the events of this book begin? It's a stretch big enough to herniate a disc.
The characters are all lifeless, flaccid, pale caricatures of the most baseline human qualities. The book is overstuffed with players, so much so that no one gets to breathe beyond parody, and to top it off by the end two new faces are added to the inner circle! Ensuring that further character developments will not stand in the way of publisher demands.
The language used is dated, written as though these are robots assuming human speech from the 1940s rather than actual people. Which doesn't even begin to cover the "tell, not show" style of writing these books have become known for.
Simply put, this series should have been put out to pasture a long time ago, but it feels like for the sake of money more than actual interest in the work that these novels will continue on, limp husks of what literature should be. I, for one, will not be limping along with them.

Apparently, this is part of a series and apparently, you have to have read other books in the series to read this one. There are SO. MANY. CHARACTERS. There is so little explanation about who is who that it just makes the story really difficult to read. There was nothing on the book itself that let me know that it was part of a series either, so I went into it blind. I thought the premise of this book was really interesting (see the publisher synopsis), BUT I felt that the execution left a lot to be desired. In parts, its like reading a story that a beginner wrote--the dialogue was awkward, the humor was a total miss for me and the characters really felt underdeveloped. I'm not sure if I have read any other books by this author--I don't think I have....probably won't seek any out after this one. (Unless someone suggests one that is not in this series that shows another side of the author.... Anyone???) Obviously, I am in the minority here--she is a renowned author--just didn't do it for me.

Great thriller/detective book. I personally liked it but I still can't figure out the meaning of the end!?

This is another book in the Sisterhood series. The “Vigilantes”, as they are known, go after a violent, successful billionaire, who has strong ties to the sitting President, abuses his wife, and is an all-around nasty guy. This book was a bit better than many of the others in the series, in my opinion. The story is about as outlandish and unrealistic. The way the vigilantes move around in high level circles always astonishes me as well as the way high level government officials jump whenever they call. That they managed to accomplish what they do is likewise hard to believe. However, through it all, they continue to fight for “truth, justice and the American way”, while feeding the readers’ wildest fantasies about righting wrongs. I think the success of this series is due to just that. The group function as a modern day version of every readers’ fondest wish, to find injustices that evoke a heartfelt response, devise a plan (sometimes not so realistic, but nevertheless one that they manage to pull off), and go about righting the injustice, while meting out some sort of terrible punishment for the perpetrator. The main characters are strong women. In recent books, their ever present partners/spouses have become a bigger part of it all, though they still remain in the shadows of these women, except for Charles, a sort of behind-the-scenes operative brain of the group, and the ever faithful computer whiz Abner.
This time they go after Lincoln Moss, a billionaire who has tons of power both in business and in Washington circles, who has abused his model wife for years until said wife and her ever present maid cum confident escape to live in a sort of underground woman’s refuge movement resembling the well-known witness protection program, run by a close friend and ally of the Sisterhood. This is a book the reader can read as a stand-alone, without having read the other books in the series, but it helps to have read them, as little or no back story is given for the characters. For me, this was an easier book to read as there was not so much unrealistic stuff, and still plenty of action, excitement and suspense. The characters were true to form, based on what I know from the other books in the series. There was not much character development, as the author assumes the reader is familiar with each. This is where having read others in the series would help understand their interactions, dynamics and such. Still, even without all this background, the book still reads quite well. The book’s plot is more realistic than some of the plots in the other books. The ideas and actions of the Sisterhood are also more believable than some. Recently, Charles has not been part of the series, having mysteriously disappeared couple of books back. Now, he has returned, and, I think, this helps the book read better. This plot is also interesting and relevant to today. The way the Sisterhood worked through it all, to achieve their ends was, as I said, a bit more realistic, though even this book had its moments of disbelief.
If you are a hard-core Sisterhood fan or if you are looking for a good escape beach read this summer or for something a bit different, I recommend this book. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I did. It will also feed any fantasy urges abut righting wrongs that you may have. I received this from NetGalley to read and review.

In Plain Sight is another Sisterhood novel by Fern Michaels. The vigilantes are brought together again to find two missing women before someone else does and to make things right for them.
Former Supreme Court Justice Pearl Barnes has been leading a secret life. In this life, she has set up and runs an underground railroad for women who have been abused and can’t get out of their relationships without further harm and lots of fear. She is the only one who knows the women and where they are. They are known only by numbers in the attempt to get them away from their abusers. Now two of her women are missing and the clinic has been compromised. She calls on her longtime friends, Myra Rutledge and Annie de Silva for help. Pearl is one of only a few who know what Myra, Annie, and their group does. She needs their help.
After finally agreeing to give up some of the most pertinent information so that in case of something happening to Pearl, the service can continue, Pearl tells the Sisterhood what she knows. The missing women are French model Amalie Laurent and her maid, Rosalee Muno. Both have undergone facial surgery and no longer look like the person they once were. This is especially important for Amalie Laurent as she is Lincoln Moss’s wife. She will do whatever is necessary to keep out of his reach.
Lincoln Moss is the wealthiest and most powerful man in the US. He has an open door policy with his cousin, President Gabriel Knight and is his most important advisor. Gabriel, with his fantastic knowledge of numbers, invested Moss’s money and seemed always to make a profit for Lincoln and for himself as well. He convinced Lincoln to purchase La Naturale, a cosmetic company that was going under. With Lincoln behind it and a new “face” for the company- French model Amalie Laurent, the company became a leading cosmetic company. Lincoln married the beautiful Amalie and kept her close to him. In fact, she was virtually a prisoner. When someone in the US asked about her, she was in France working. In France, she was getting acclimated in the US. Even his cousin hasn’t seen her for the last five years.
Can the Sisterhood find her before he does? Can they keep her safe? Can they restore her life to her and punish Lincoln Moss at the same time?

I received this book free through net galley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This is the 25th adventure of the sisterhood; this time to the rescue of two women and the revenge against the man who terrified them both.
This book could be read as a stand alone but I wouldn't recommend that. I think to enjoy this book, the reader needs insight to the many characters, how they came to be a member of the sisterhood and the part they play. I have read probably the first half of them and in this book I knew of most of the main characters except a couple.
The sisterhood live out a fantasy that most of us, at one time or another, could only dream of; revenge against someone who has wronged us. I do however, have a problem with the collateral damage of innocent people that get caught up in their scheme. Does that make them any better than the person they are exacting revenge upon?
The sisterhood books, and I did like this one more than some I have read, are fast paced, enjoyable, simple reads that make good beach books. The style of the writing is so different than Fern Michaels' earlier works I have a hard time believing the same person wrote them. Some of my favourite books of all time are her Texas series of 4 books, Cinders to Satin, and the two Sins books to name a few. Those are engrossing, fascinating reads with much more depth to them, more probable and believable and I miss that. But if you are looking for a nice quick enjoyable read, then the sisterhood series could be for you.

The whole crew shows up for this page turner. The sisterhood, and their partners are back on the case when two ladies, who have been hidden by a secret underground, for abused women goes missing. The one lady is the wife of the best friend of the president, and a shaker and mover in Washington. He is mean and sadistic. The story first begins, after the ladies do not report in as usual, or pick up their phones. Then the picture of the famous one shows up in a tabloid, promising before and after pictures of a surgery, that changed her appearance. Knowing that time can be short, the group splits up, and is on the hunt for the women, and the tabloid source. It was a good book, and I love how they give justice for those who have suffered, and bring down those who deserve it. It was a good afternoon read. I liked hearing about all their lives, and getting caught up with the sisterhood. I have read so many of these books, that it does not surprise you, yet feels like an old friend. I enjoy Fern Michaels as a writer. It would be nice to carry a gold shield, and help those in need, without dealing with all the red tape. Only in books......

In Plain Sight is installment #25 in Fern Michaels Sisterhood series. Let me start off by saying if you haven’t read any of the books in this series I would start at the very beginning or you are probably going to be lost. I have religiously followed this series throughout. The women in this series are absolutely hysterical and you can’t help but love them. They are strong, confident and loving women who are determined to see justice served when the legal system fails.
In this installment the ladies are serving up justice once again. When Amalie leaves her abusive husband she seeks refuge in former Supreme Court Justice Pearl Barnes clinic. However when it is leaked that she has changed her appearance and run it is up to the Sisterhood to take care of Amalie’s husband and make sure he is served the justice he deserves.
Another well written installment! I received an eARC of this book compliments of the publisher in exchange for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated are my own.

Rating: 4/5
I honestly enjoyed the book, I read it in one-sitting. I could not resist. The book was refreshing in a sense that it tells us that good triumphs over evil (Ah, this one's definitely a fiction book). You know, when you live in my country at this time, you seem to lose hope that anything good can happen. I am not kidding when I say that there are days that I feel like we are eternally fucked.
Well this book can be far-fetched but sometimes it feels amazing to believe that stuff like this could happen, that there would be the Vigilantes in real life. It's satisfying to finally see the oppressors lose to their victims. This goes to show how books can be one's escape to a world we can only dream of. One would hope that there really are people out there, with the power and resources that would use what they have for the greater good. In a way, though far-fetched this book has a bit of reality in it. There are times that the law would not be able to serve justice because it is in the hands of corrupt and greedy people. And with that, we are forced to take justice into our own hands. It's the sad truth.
I enjoyed the book because it was a thrilling one filled with some romance and a good sense of humor. I usually get overwhelmed when there are a lot of main characters because I get confused on who's who. But with this one, each character was able to show their unique self and their contribution to the group. I really am thinking of reading the other books in the series right from the start. This is the first book I read written by the author and I like the pacing and writing style that I'm actually looking forward to picking up one of her books again.
I could've given this a higher rating if it wasn't for some lines that I found problematic. I'm not sure if it's because I don't know these characters well, enough for me to figure out if it's just their personality or if what they said was because of something that happened in the previous book. Either way, it didn't sit well with me.
I just hate it when victims of abuse get asked why they didn't leave or ask for help. BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THEY COULDN'T, THEY WOULD IF THEY COULD. Or in some cases they don't know that they're actually being abused because it's all part of the manipulation by the abuser. At first I let it go because I thought the character didn't know stuff even though a part of me believed that she should because it's literally part of their cause, helping the abused. AND THEN as I read on, I learn that her mother was a victim of abuse. So in my mind, I am confused. Like girl you should know by now but still asked that question, huh.
Uhm should there be any reason mister for a grown-ass man to beat his wife??? Come on now, the shit he did to her could never be justified. There's no reason other than he's a piece of trash.
Those two were the ones that stuck to me the most. But still, I really liked the book and I would definitely try the other books some time in the future.

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.

For this mission, we are dealing with Lincoln Moss, who happens to be the best friend of the POTUS, Gabriel Knight, and also an unofficial member of his cabinet. Myra & Annie were contacted by Pearl, on behalf of one of the women from her Underground Railroad, who just happens to be Lincoln's French-born, model wife, Amalie Laurent Moss, and her personal maid, Rosalee Muno. Due to the confidentiality of the women in the Railroad, Pearl did not initially want to give up the women's names, only referring to them by their unassigned numbers, but in order to help them, the Sisterhood needed to know their real names. In typical fashion, a plan was made to capture Lincoln Moss, relieve him of his billions of monies, divvy it up to various charaties, as well as taking care of Amalie, Rosalee, and their families, for the years to come. Along the way, the starts of romances between Amalie and FBI Director, Jack Sparrow, has started to bud, as well as Rosalee and Post reporter, Dennis West. In time, we shall see if these new additions to the "family" become endearing characters as well.

For years Myra Rutledge and Annie de Silva, founding members of the Sisterhood, have funded an underground network run by former Supreme Court Justice Pearl Barnes to help women escape abusive relationships. When two of Pearl’s clients fail to report for their weekly check-in, the Sisterhood and their allies begin a search for French model Amalie Laurent and her one-time maid, Rosalee Muno. Amalie’s estranged husband, Lincoln Moss, is a distant cousin of the President of the United States and one of his closest advisers. Moss’s power is matched by the violent streak he hides from the world, and he beat Amalie viciously until she finally escaped with her maid’s help. Moss is accustomed to doing exactly what he wants without fear of consequence. But Moss has never faced an adversary like the Sisterhood… (from Goodreads)

The latest in the Sisterhood series, this mystery revolves around the disappearance of model Amalie Laurent and her maid Rosalee Muno as they continue to evade the violent temper of husband Lincoln Moss. Power, abuse, and deceptions are all part of this convoluted story of a battered wife and abusive husband. The Sisterhood pulls strings to bring Moss down, to discredit him forever. The tension is great, the behind-the-scenes intrigue will hold your attention.
I didn't realize this was the latest in a long series by Fern Michaels. While you don't need to read earlier books in the series, it helps you know who the main characters are.

The sisterhood books are wonderful. I wish I had a group of friends like these. I love my friends but I don’t k ow if any of us would go to some of the lengths these women have together. The men are becoming just as integral a part of the operations and that’s a good thing. I know as I get older I want to keep thinking about Myra & Annie. I don’t know which one I want to be yet but it will be one of the two

Sadly, the playaway box did not state this was the 25th book in a series, so this story was my introduction to the "sisterhood." I might be interested in starting at the beginning, especially to see how the sisterhood originated. I had questions while reading this book. For example, where did Pearl end up going? Why was she not part of the assignment? I had a little trouble keeping up with the characters, (I am sure that was part of not knowing the backstory.) Ultimately, it was fun to read.

Politics and Wife Beaters
This book is part of a series that centers around a group of women vigilantes and their support group. This story is clean. There is no foul language, no bedroom scenes, no gore, and little violence. This episode is more 'back to basics' for the group. On the hunt for a wealthy wife-beater, they are surrounded by the political machine of Washington DC. It is a good story that is difficult to put down.

Did not disappoint
Another wonderful book in this series. The ending left me wanting to dive into the next book to see what Jack and Harry meant about Cooper and their early morning wake up. I am glad this story addresses wife abuse and the fear they have in leaving. I think it is one of those things that you truly don’t understand until you face it. A tough subject that this author was able to address in a way that works to keep it real yet tasteful. Truly a great read.

Listened to audiobook in car while traveling to Cincinnati. I thought this book was going to be about saving abused women, but it was mostly about a millionaire who did beat his wife and controlled the president of the United States, who was a good friend. Too many characters and too many side stories within the book.

Trite
Good subject matter poorly treated. While I was not expecting the great American novel, this is poorly written, has grammatical mistakes and is fairly silly.
Does the author REALLY think no one would have noticed if the high profile wife had been missing for FIVE YEARS?
Pretty much a waste of time. Very disappointing.

I thought the beginning was a bit slow, but once the book got going, I had a hard time putting it down. I thought the author did a great job with characterization -- there were a lot of people to keep track of, but she managed to make each character an individual.

Fern Michaels Does it Again
I really enjoy theses books and the energy that she puts into the characters. She paints a picture for me of a large family that truly enjoys begin with each other.

I was enjoying this... until the end. It felt ridiculously flat. I didn’t understand the very end at all. Do I have to read the other books to understand that final phone call? I didn’t realize it was a series. I was just left empty and confused.

After the last book I was about done with this series. This book didnt quite make up for it but was another good book. It never touches on the book before which leads me to think book 24 was a fill in as I mentioned in my review of it.
