So, unbeknownst to me, this book is part of a series of the Sisterhood novels (this is book 34). Trying to read/listen as a stand-alone novel was a bit difficult for me as I sometimes felt that I didn't fully understand the characters and history involved. Not the fault of the story, but I think this one will definitely resonate with those who have been reading the series all along. The Sisterhood is a group of women who have come together through friendship and loss to avenge and hold those accountable for wrongdoing. I received the audiobook for preview, and although the narrator did a good job, I just had a hard time connecting with the story for all the reasons above as well. This was a pass for me, but for lovers of the Sisterhood series or Fern Michaels, I would recommend checking it out. Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this audiobook.

I didn't realize this was part of a series when I requested the audiobook from Netgalley. The author did a great job filling in the back story so I didn't feel lost. Definitely not a lot of depth to the characters, the dialog was very repetitive and I rolled my eyes at the narrator's voice and articulation. Needless to say, I don't plan on delving into anymore books in the series.

I was really looking forward to listening to this audiobook, but I will have to wait for the publication date to read the physical book or ebook. The narrator just isn’t for me and I found it extremely difficult to stay focused on the story. I’m leaving 3 stars because the storyline is really good so far, and I’ll revise my review after I read the book instead of listening.

This book was awesome! And now I have yet ANOTHER series to add to my growing TBR. I jumped into this series at the very end...and while you CAN do that I am left wanting to know all of the back stories of the characters and their lives! So I'm off to begin this series at #1!!

So this book is 34th in a series, which i feel is very important to understanding why it is the way it is. The book begins by giving quick povs from several different couples who have gotten together in previous books, and some of our villains who met in jail. The book's perspective is that a multi-year prison sentence is not enough and vigilantes need to punish/kill criminals further. I really have a problem with all of the above. I think long-running series can be fine, but I don't feel the need to be comforted with all the happy couples of previous books. I do feel more sensitive to depictions of the imprisoned and this one has very little empathy. Generally this feels very old-fashioned and out of touch.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I did not realize this book was part of a large series of books when I first started the book which made the book difficult to follow at points as I didn’t have the background information on the characters. Overall the book was enjoyable enough because the story itself was compelling. I loved how the sisterhood all looked out for each other and worked together to solve the crime.

This was okay. It would probably be better if I had read all the ones previous to this one. I was so confused in the beginning with the introduction of so many characters and with the audiobook version, it was hard to keep up with which character we were on at any given time. I like the idea but this was just too confusing and too much content to enjoy. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

TICK TOCK, the 34th book of Fern Michael's Sisterhood series, was an exciting read. The characters were well-developed and the plot was exciting. I love the gang of vigilantes, The Sisterhood, who come together for "whatever it takes" to get revenge on those who have done wrong by them or a loved one and have not been punished.

The narrator, Laural Merlington, provided fun voices for the characters. Her southern accent was amusing.

A crime solving, punishment inducing group of what some might call vigilantes? Yes, please! This unique group of characters came together in ways you’d never expect. With all of the differing personalities I almost expected it to be chaotic but it flowed really well and I enjoyed the ending a lot.

I have never read the other books in this series, fair warning, but still enjoyed the plot regardless. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the narrators voice, it felt like an older woman to me, which worked for the more mature characters, but not so much for the younger ones in my opinion. I would still recommend and check out of books by this author as I enjoyed the plot and character interaction.

Thank you to Netgalley, Kenningston Books and the author. This is a Mystery Suspense, and this is the 34th book in the Sisterhood series. I have to admit this was my first foray into the Sisterhood series. There was enough information here for me to get an idea of the personality of all of the characters, but there is definitely a lot if background and history on the characters that I missed by not reading the series in order. The books are based on a small group of women who decide that when the judicial system is unable to serve up justice, they will take matters into their own hands. Joining their efforts are various friends and significant others. The group is lead by best friends Myra and Annie, who as an heiress and a countess have the means to fund the group's activities. A fast read with the sisters of the brotherhood on the move to take down. The men who hurt Nikki in an accident when she and Jack were going on Vacation.. The men wanted revenge for being put in jail years ago by the
Brotherhood. They tampered with the computers and security of the Sisterhood and now must be brought to justice. Another enjoyable tale and not as harsh as those in the past. One for one and one for all. An enjoyable series of strong women standing up for themselves. I enjoyed it although it is confusing at times with the flipping back and forth and I think reading the series would be essential in order to get the "Background" on the characters.

This was a very average book for me - it wasn't good, but it also wasn't bad.

I enjoyed the storyline, of women coming together to go after the men who hurt one of their own, but everything seemed to fall into place too easily.

While I was under the impression that the books in this series can be read as standalones, which technically they can be, but I felt like I was missing a lot of the backstory throughout. There were also a lot of characters that were introduced at the same time and I found it hard to keep them straight and remember who was who. The characters also didn't seem to develop much throughout the story - it's almost like the author figured them out in earlier books, and now they're just continuing to go on various missions / adventures.

However, the book was very well written - my one gripe with the writing was how repetitive the conversations were. I understand that with such a large cast of characters, each one joining the plot will need to be updated on the goings-on in the story, but I would have appreciated having a summarising statement like "x character updated y character on that morning's events" or something similar, instead of having the same conversation four or five times in the same chapter.

But overall, the plot was very intriguing, and the audiobook narration was good. I would read more from this author, but I think it's worth reading the series in order.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advance copy of the audiobook.

The writing style was just super unpleasant -- I wasn't able to finish this one.

Another awesome Sisterhood novel from Fern Michaels. This novel is strong enough to stand on its own as well as serve as a continuation of this unique series (a upper class vigilante gang with heartbeat and a conscious if you will, one that is unusually circumspect with refined main characters. This is such a unique and specialized series, it is as though Ms. Michael's created a new genre. A well written offering that is a great cat and mouse novel, as clues, deception and crimes are exposed, one layer at a time ... a very enjoyable offering. Thank you Netgalley for this advance copy.

3.5 Stars. This is the 34th in the Sisterhood series which started back in 2001. I came into it as a stand alone not having read any of the previous novels. There were a lot of names thrown quickly at me but enough background was given for me to understand the connections and purpose of the SIsterhood. Because of their past experiences they look for crimes where justice isn’t fairly served and try and correct it on their own terms.

In this situation one of the daughters of a main member is injured in an explosion. She wasn’t the intended victim but it puts the sisterhood on the hunt for the culprit and any accomplices. Even thought there are serious crimes discussed the tone of the book is light. These are friends and their partners who can laugh and joke as they use their seemingly unlimited resources to solve the case.

I can easily see fans following theirs characters through many adventures just like I enjoy James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club. Fern Michael’s continues to tell good stories, although I do find dated words and phrases here and there in her writing. If I had read previous book in the series I would probably have rated it higher and liked it more.

I enjoyed the audio book narrated by Laural Merlington. She was able to provide voices for the characters so I could easily identify who was speaking. Also she helped me realize the characters are older than I was originally thinking.
