About this ebook
The bestselling author of B-More Careful, Shannon Holmes, delivers Bad Girlz, another wild adventure into the streets. The setting this time is the Badlands, one of the toughest and poorest communities in Philadelphia.
Bad Girlz takes you into the mysterious and often dangerous lives of young women who turn to the streets and strip clubs as a means of survival. These are girls who, along the way, suffer bad breaks and find themselves ripe for exploitation by men and women who pretend to be their saviors.
Tender and Goldie were taken under wing by Kat, a veteran stripper, who enjoyed the life and the risks she had to take to stay in the mix of the sex trade. Both of these young and beautiful girls had ended up in dire straits and in need of Kat's help in different ways, but ultimately for the same reasons: They lacked the love and support that most of us expect to get at home and in our communities. Where they live, illegal money is often the only money to be made, and the difference between the law and the outlaw is tough to discern.
Holmes tells a page-turning story of sex, money, and murder in the name of survival and reveals the many ways that good girls, trying to get by in desperate situations, become Bad Girlz.

I purchased this book a weeks ago and since then I couldnt bare to put the book down. From just reading the first chapter had me hooked. I love How Shannon Holmes tells you details on all the main characters history an How they became exposed to the game. I also love How he is very detailed with the sex scenes, makes you really picture what's happening. Shannon Holmes did not disappoint me at all... I was however extremely surprise when I found out that the Authors is a male ♡♡.

I remember reading this book and being so emotionally invested. I hated a certain character (I won't spoil it) and my heart went out to certain others. Definitely a page turner, and tear jerker towards the end. This book is extremely similar to the movie "the players club" with Lisa raye though. Anyway, great book, I highly recommend.
