Publisher's summary

Life isn't fair. Most women know it. But what can you do about it? Plenty...if you're part of the Sisterhood. On the surface, these seven women are as different as can be - but each has had her share of bad luck, from cheating husbands to sexist colleagues to a legal system that often doesn't do its job. Now, drawn together by tragedy, they're forging a bond that will help them right the wrongs committed against them and discover an inner strength they didn't know they had. Growing bolder with each act of justice, the Sisterhood is learning that when bad things happen, you can roll over and play dead...or you can get up fighting...

In the tradition of The First Wives' Club, Weekend Warriors is a slam-bang, take-no-prisoners tale of survival, sweet revenge, and the healing power of friendship.

Critic reviews

"Readers who grow weary of seeing the bad guys get away with their crimes will enjoy seeing what happens when well-funded, very angry women take the law into their own hands." ( Booklist)

Great narration

This is the first in a suspense series in which the amount of action and quirky characters fit perfectly together. A very smooth operation is pulled off by non professionals to right a horrible wrong that each of them feel equally motivated to vindicate. I enjoyed this very entertaining story by Fern Michaels that was made great by Laural Merlington's narrative. Not quite a cozy because of some of the brutality and lack of sexy romance, but would definitely be a fun dramady for the big screen. I will be reading more in this series.

Exhilarating

I enjoyed this book and all of the characters. Sitting on the edge of the seat. Well wrote. Very descriptive. I could see as I read what was going on.

Fun Story

The Weekend Warriors is the first book in the Sisterhood series. I picked it up since I won a Goodreads giveaway of the 34th book in the series and wanted to get an intro to the characters before tackling that one 😅 It was definitely a fun story about a group of women teaming up to exact revenge on the men who have wronged them in their lives. It was a good premise and entertaining - I particularly liked Catherine and Yoko - but it was just missing something to make it a stand out for me. I’ll probably read a few more in the series - I think it’ll be interesting to get to know the characters more - but likely not all 30-something of them 😅

GREAT LISTENING

As with all of the Sisterhood Series this was a totally enjoyable listen. Laurel Merlington does a superb job with the audio and I love the story line.

fun and fluffy

I was in the mood for something fluffy and this hit the spot. Suspend disbelief, enjoy the ride with strong women. The narrator is terrible! All the men sound like old Gumbas and the women slip in and out of Southern accents.

Awesome series

Would you consider the audio edition of Weekend Warriors to be better than the print version?

I don't know, I didn't read the print edition, but I love this story and the characters

What did you like best about this story?

I think I liked the camaraderie of the women how they look after each other and Charles looks out for all of them

Which character – as performed by Laural Merlington – was your favorite?

I liked all of them for different reasons. I least liked Julia, she seemed so weak and timid. Loved Katherine and her spunk. Loved Myra for her generosity. Felt bad for Nicky and her situation with Jack but admired her sticking to her guns. Not sure about the others yet. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!!!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I'm Hooked!!

I was starting to realize that I was the only person in the world who had never read/listened to a book by Fern Michaels. I was sick of being a loner, so I chose to start my journey off with the audiobook Weekend Warriors: Revenge of the Sisterhood #1 by Fern Michaels, Narrated by Laural Merlington. Oh...My...Gosh...I LOVED IT! I'm 1000% hooked and I have already bought the next in the series! I'm only starting book #2, but I'm already overjoyed that there are so many of them in The Sisterhood Series!! I haven't been this excited about reading/listening to the next book in a series since....well, I can't remember, so it must have been forever ago. This book introduces The Sisterhood, which is a group of women, who form an unbreakable bond, determined to make right to those who have committed wrongs against them. These well-educated, successful women play by their own set of rules, and with their seemingly unlimited supply of cash and connections to the right people, they set off on their first mission.

The storyline grabbed me almost immediately and kept me fully engaged through to the very last word of the book. I listened to this audiobook non-stop, straight through to the end...I couldn't stop! I felt like I was right there with them every step of the way. It was fantastic! I have no clue how I didn't find this sooner. I love everything about The Sisterhood! The characters are great, and because each woman has her own distinct personality and unique situation, all readers/listeners will easily find a favorite within the group. I can't wait to get to know each of them better as I work my way through the series! Thank you, Fern Michaels for writing this series...I'm so excited!

The narration...so awesome! This is also my first time listening to Laural Merlington. She is absolutely wonderful! She is truly a professional in this field. Her performance was flawless, and I feel her narration made an already excellent book even better. I'm very happy to see that she also narrates the upcoming books in the series, too. Yay! Outstanding job! Bravo!

Overall, I give this audiobook a rating of 5/5 across the board. I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys crime, action, suspense, frienship, or to those looking to start a new series, especially women. I'm confident you will love it, no matter what your preferred genre is. Ladies, keep up the great work! I'm one of your newest and biggest fans! Thank you!

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