"You might say these ladies are adrenalin junkies... This is beach reading -- or anytime reading!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Hokus Pokus

Women's Fiction

Pearl Barnes, chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, is being blackmailed by her ex-son-in-law, and a desperate Pearl contacts her old friend retired Judge Cornelia Easter for help. Pearl suspects that Cornelia and a few other people she can name, are members of the notorious and exiled Sisterhood, and Pearl demands they help her or she will expose them. Of course the original seven vigilantes jump at the chance to get back on American soil and do what they do best -- right the wrongs, fight the good fight, and flirt with going to prison for the rest of their lives. You might say these ladies are adrenalin junkies. Charles Martin waves his magical wand and in hours of being summoned the ladies are winging their way to the nation's capital in a private jet wearing G-strings and guitars. Yep, even Myra and Annie are a part of this dancing, prancing group of rock stars called the G-String Girls and they are putting on a concert in the US to benefit AIDS and famine relief. Right under the nose of the FBI and that dogged determined reporter Ted Robinson, these petite amazons manage to snatch the bad guys and foil their nefarious schemes against Pearl. HOKUS POKUS is a page-turning, knee slappin' hoot! Fern Michaels' awesome imagination knows no boundaries, and she continues to dazzle and entertain her legions of fans of this series. There are surprises, new romances, and a poignant loss of a couple of the B-Team members. This is beach reading -- or anytime reading -- at its finest and funniest.

SUMMARY

There is no match for the Sisterhood - the seven friends who have taken vigilante justice to a new level - not even the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Although the women foiled former FBI director Mitch Riley's plot to frame their friends Judge Nellie Easter and lawyer Lizzie Fox, now they must remain in exile or risk capture. They can't complain about their opulent digs on a remote, luxurious mountaintop, but the ladies desperately miss home. Their wish to return might come true sooner than they expect when they receive a panicked call from Supreme Court Chief Justice Pearl Barnes, who faces blackmail for her own illegal brand of justice. Now the women must not only sneak back into the United States, but also remain undetected as they investigate. But how do you make seven women disappear? With a nosy reporter on the brink of exposing them, the clock is ticking as the Sisterhood tries to create a little magic - and save the day . . .
