This is listed on Goodreads as number 6.75, but on Amazon as book 7. It is also supposed to be book 3 of 3 of the Godmothers. It's less than 100 pages in length.

This group of books must be some kind of filler within a larger series.

At times fun, at times tedious. I couldn't find any conclusion really but I did enjoy M

I have been reading Fern Michaels for many years now and I don't always love her books but I never feel like I wasted my time either. This one lands on the better of the Fern Michaels books and I really enjoyed it! This author is a go-to writer for me and I am never disappointed!

This one left me hanging! I love that it is 3rd of 3 in this series. Come on and write more!

Getaway is the third part of this book in The Godmothers series written by author Fern Michaels. It would have been more enjoyable as one book. I'm a huge fan of this author, but this was disappointing. Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the advance copy.

The Godmothers: Getaway is a part of a bigger series The Godmothers and it would be best if you have read the previous books, but not essential, it can also be stand alone book.

So this short story is about four friends, who have known each other a long time, who live close by and are very close. It's in a way paranormal story since one of the godmothers has special powers to communicate with souls and somehow she has awaken an soul in a old house and this soul has taken over her friend. To make the soul leave they have to figure out who it is and why is he/she still here.

In the end everything is fine and they all celebrate their happily ever after together :).

An good Fern Michaels story, I just wish I had known the previous stories too.

The spirits in Sophie’s house are still restless, but now with her friends on alert and on hand to help, the resident spirits may just be given their walking papers. The ladies join for a séance to ferret out the last of the items needed, but must head out to find some answers to dispel a ghost that is pestering Ida. They return from their venture to Charlotte poised to rid the spirits, allow Sophie her anniversary celebration and the wedding of Bernice and Robert that Toots is planning.

While the clues and solutions aren’t particularly novel, the story takes the path of the others to detail the journey the women made: both in solving this new mystery and the path that was taken to form this tightly knit and supportive group. Moments range from laugh-out-loud outrageous and funny to poignant remembrances of times past, coming together and their growing friendships.

Perfectly fitting for a summer read, the three installments should be read in order to get the best experience, as well as a wonderful refresher for fans of the Godmothers stories, with information and background that may refresh your connection to the ladies and their journeys. Classic Fern Michaels, the story reads quickly, is engaging and intriguing and the perfect getaway from the daily life stresses.

I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility

A fitting ending to the series!

This third part in 2 serial shorts was a bit of a let down. First, make sure you read all 3 in order to get the story. the first 2 gave some nice build up but this one just kind of fell flat and the resolution felt almost forced, too quick and easy.

I'm still a fan and can't wait for more because I do like the characters. I just hope she puts a nice novel or even novella length together for the next one!

This book is Part Three of the new Godmothers Trilogy. The Famous Four continue their friendships stronger than ever and determined to right a wrong from decades ago. Using the unique strengths of each Godmother, the last book in this series brings a most satisfying conclusion and delightful surprises. Thank you for the opportunity to read this very heart warming series about true friendships and those we surround ourselves prior to publication. I loved the books and appreciate the opportunity!

Didn't like the first book, I won't be reading this. The author and series isn't my cup of tea at all!

Since all three books in the new godmother series by Fern Michaels relate directly to each other and since all the books are totally intertwined within each other, I am reviewing Hideaway, Spirited Away and Getaway together. None of the three books is particularly long, and each reads rather quickly, making them seem more like one “big” book. In this trilogy, the four friends, Toots, Sophie, Mavis and Ida, join forces to figure out what exactly is happening in Sophia’s new, apparently haunted house. Sophia’s psychic/paranormal abilities help the foursome as they move through a series of strange events, all related to the history of Sophia’s house. This is also a story of the four seniors who have “been there, done that” and are ready to settle down in happily married life once again. One thing I did not understand, however, is why after all the other books in the series, the author chose to provide short snippets of how the four came together as adolescents at a religious school none particularly even wanted to attend. It would seem that this sort of recap/back story would have been better suited for an earlier book in the series, if not the first book, where the four are introduced.

The story, as I said, move along at a nice, steady clip. I am not sure, however, if the way they choose to put the final piece of the puzzle together is the realistic way these sorts of things are done. I am not going to go into this more because I want to avoid spoilers. Naturally, throughout the three books we are introduced (or perhaps re-introduced in some cases) to the men, who now become an integral part of their lives and how the entire crew interacts and works together. In addition, Abby, the once-upon-a-time journalist daughter of Toots and mother of one-year old twins (the apples of their grandmother’s and godmother’s eyes) as well as her husband and twin children also play a solid, though not dominant, role in the book, giving the story a bit of hominess and levity. Nevertheless, I wondered sometimes, as I read, if these were the same characters from the other books and why things between and among Toots and the three godmothers seemed off, not really like the way they were in other books. Possibly, the introduction of men into the lives of these four women is what made things unlike the characters in the other books in the series. They just did not seem, as I said, like they were in the other books. The story reads well and quickly, as I said. The three books are well-written and interesting. I just found the way things were handled a bit off. If you enjoy other books by the author or if you enjoy this series, you will enjoy this one. I am also not sure about stretching the story over three books, as there was a story line and plot, though not much of one. I am not sure having the reader procure three books was a great idea, though it is a bit unique. This is a fast easy read for someone who enjoys curling up with a book, or books in this case, and reading something or things that is/are quick and light. I received this from NetGalley to read and review.

So now that I've read all three books what did I think? One, I'm not a fan of novella serials. I personally think as a reader we lose too much of the cohesiveness that a full length novel provides.

Two, I don't enjoy books that have exorcisms in them. It bothers me. I discussed that in the review of book two.

Book three in the serial was such a letdown. I think the story could have went in so many different directions but it went a lackluster and boring direction.

I'm still a fan of Fern Michaels and will continue to read her books. Especially her older novels.

This was heck of an adventure for the ladies. They take a last minute trip to Charlotte to get answers on a mean ghost that has possessed Ida and they woman ghost that keeps needing something from Sophie.

They find what they need and return to solve the situation, but it's an interesting story about all this all played out.

When they return Goebel has surprised Sophie yet again and their year anniversary was exciting in a way they never expected it to be.

Bernice and Robert are getting married in the garden at Toots house and Toots is planning the wedding. Toots gets another surprise that will throw her for a loop and then more are revealed as the time passes.

All in all another adventure for the ladies and one that pulls them closer, again, as friends.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
