Flint Book 2: Working Girls




Synopsis
Walk with Halleigh and Malek as they introduce you to a new struggle in a new city . . . a place called Flint, Michigan, one of the roughest little cities in America. It’s a place where the good die young, loyalty is a rarity, and everybody has a hustle. In Flint Book #1 “Choosing Sides” Malek became affiliated with the North Side’s biggest kingpin and Halleigh was manipulated into the streets by his South Side adversary. North versus South, love versus loyalty, and lies versus truth. Now the saga continues in Flint Book #2 “Working Girls” as we are introduced to the Manolo Mamis, the baddest chicks in the game. They’re playin’ for keeps and their services come with a price; an expensive one. Halleigh a.k.a Sunshine is knee-deep in the game. She has become lost—turned out at the hands of her pimp, Manolo. Will she ever meet Malek again? And if they do, will they share the same love that they once had, or is it too late? Welcome to Flint Book #2 “Working Girls.” The saga continues.
My Opinion

Hearts break, lives shatter, and liars prevail at Bentley Manor, where everyone sins shamelessly.
In the second novel from the authors of Desperate Hoodwives, four women will try to escape Bentley Manor -- a place no one has ever left unscathed...

• Keisha married the high school basketball star, but now Smokey's addicted to crack. Unable to feed her children, Keisha feels that she's not only hit bottom but has taken her children with her. When Smokey's brother offers to help, will it come at the ultimate price?

• Takiah abruptly fled her pimp husband with her baby. Desperate to start over, she finds a hiding place. Living with Grandma Cleo means returning to church -- but Takiah's salvation is the last thing on the pastor's mind...

• Princess is lucky to have found a ride-or-die friend in Lucky, who helps protect her from her mom's abusive ways. With a voice to rival Mary J. and Whitney, at just seventeen Princess holds a ticket out. But when Lucky is gone, will she have the courage to follow her dreams?

• Woo Woo has escaped the projects with her suburban husband -- the type of man every woman wants. But she can't resist sneaking back to Bentley Manor for steamy sexcapades with her drug dealer boyfriend. It's not only WooWoo who has a secret...
