(22,994 posts)After several weeks immersed in their world, I find myself lost without my friends. I feel kind of like you do when you move to a new town and do not know anyone. So I went to India in "Where Are THey Now"
Anyway:
I finished Bitter Pill: For the Sisterhood, theres a special satisfaction that comes with helping a friend in need, especially when its someone as dear as Charlotte Hansen. Myra Rutledges childhood friend has spent tens of thousands of dollars on remedies to boost longevity. But far from improving her health, the medications seem to be destroying it.
Myra becomes suspicious of the trio of doctors in charge of the program, especially once the Sisterhoods investigations reveal that one patient has died, and another lapsed into a coma. While those in their care suffer, the three doctorslocated in London, Aspen, and New Yorkall enjoy indulgent lifestyles and extravagant toys. But justice is always the best medicineand no one dispenses it better than the Sisterhood . . .
This one was really good and a very fun read. The justice delivered to the bad persons is an utter delight.
Again, I have trouble deciding which is more fun: the build up and planning of the justice, or the justice itself.
Which brings me to Truth or Dare Men of the Sisterhood #4.
When the call comes, the Men of the Sisterhood drop everything to help their friends. This time its Cyrus, their four-legged hound dog and unofficial mascot. While member Joe Espinosa is driving along an isolated country road with Cyrus in tow, he catches a glimpse of movement in the woods bordering the road and notes Cyrus pawing desperately at the car window. As soon as he pulls over to investigate, Cyrus bolts out the door and leads Joe to three children clustered togetherbedraggled, silent, and scared out of their wits. As soon as he has brought the children to safety, Espinosa arranges an urgent meeting.
Charles, Abner, Jack, Dennis, Harry and the rest of the crew gather at BOLO headquarters to hear a shocking story that confirms their worst suspicions. Many more children are still in danger. But in order to protect and avenge the victims, the team must use more cunning than ever before. With so many vulnerable young lives at stake, one mistake would be too many . . .
Just a warning, the justice these guys deal out to the child and sex traffickers is a bit different and shocking than the prior books.
The righteous anger demonstrated by these men is awesome to behold and their vengance is swift and sure.
Cyrus the Wonder Dog once again is allowed to shine, and he gets to do what he loves best: bite someone on the ass.
This is my favorite of the "Men of" series.
