Review: Point blank by Fern Michaels. The women of Fern Michaels’ New York Times bestselling Sisterhood series are beloved for bringing justice to strangers in need. And when one of their own needs help, that loyalty and commitment goes double… Nothing compares to the bond between Sisters—except perhaps the special brotherhood between some of their menfolk. Nikki’s husband, Jack Emery, and Yoko’s partner, Harry Wong, have forged a deep friendship over the years. So when Jack awakens one night, knowing in his bones that Harry’s in trouble, he immediately rushes to Harry’s dojo. Harry, pacing like a lion, has received a phone call from his old schoolmate Jun Yu in China. Both were educated at a Shaolin temple—the same temple where Harry’s daughter, Lily, is now a student. But Jun Yu has had to vacate the temple urgently. He’s managed to get his son out, but Lily is missing. And now Jun is trusting Harry to guard the most precious things in his life—his wife Ling and their two children, whom he has smuggled to America. While long-time ally Pearl Barnes whisks Ling and her children to safety via her underground railroad, the Sisters and their allies head to the war room to make plans. Finding Lily is a top priority, and Kathryn’s partner, Bert Navarro, comes up with a way for the group to travel to China. They’ll go to Macau, nicknamed “the Monte Carlo of the Orient,” on the pretext of opening a casino there. But what will they find once they reach their destination? Can they hope to rescue Lily when the enemy has the home advantage…and the will to kill? The odds are stacked against them, but when the Sisterhood is involved, you can always bet on the underdog.                                                                                                       I always have problems with some of the brutality in this series which is involved in the vigilantism. It is similar to the feelings that I have while reading the Bad Day series by Sophie Littlefield featuring Stella Hardestyas the vigilante. However I keep feeling myself drawn to reading the next installment because of other factors including the characters by themselves, in relationship to each other and the general Robin Hood feeling of the series. The character development continues in this volume where we get a rare glimpse into the psyche of Avery Snowden who mainly appears as hero and clean up man who mAkes people disappear and has mysterious spook resources at his disposal. We also get interesting information about Harry Wong, his upbringing and background . The return of Cooper the magical dog is wonderful . It is a nice touch of the mystical in an otherwise gritty yet glittering world. This is another showing of girl power on steroids  which was great. I also liked to see Kathering protest too much at the end. Ready for more.
