Bestseller Michaels's Sisterhood series (Vendetta, etc.) goes out with a bang and a wink as the Virginia vigilantes-Myra, Kathryn, Alexis, Isabelle, Nikki and Anna-seek justice for Yoko Akia, a young florist. Yoko wants to punish her father, who bought, impregnated and discarded her teenage mother, who died after giving birth to her. The lethal ladies are shocked to discover Yoko's dad is none other than Michael Lyons, an award-winning film star with another nasty secret: he's been buying and selling Asian women as sex slaves to prominent businessmen. The Sisterhood's fearless male cohorts, notably Myra's pal, Charles Martin, a former British secret agent, lend assistance, but in the end the female vigilantes must confront Lyons in L.A. on their own with two nosy reporters hot on their trail. Some industrial strength glue comes in quite handy. Michaels rewrites the rules of the revenge game to include a clever-if improbable-escape clause. (Apr.) Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.

This final volume in Michaels's "Revenge of the Sisterhood" series pits the Ladies of Pinewood against Yoko Akia's father in an attempt to avenge the death of Yoko's mother. Their effort results in the women's arrest for vigilantism. Despite its heavier than usual reliance on male assistance in the form of Nikki's and Yoko's boyfriends, this title provides quick action and humorous moments. Delivering her usual excellent performance, Laural Merlington maintains the same voices for each character throughout the series but has to stretch to differentiate among the five male voices in this tale. Of interest to Michaels's fans and listeners of popular fiction, this title is recommended for public libraries. [Michaels is a number one New York Times best-selling author; this title was on the list for five weeks last fall.-Ed.]
