Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Nikki Turner returns with the next edition in the highly successful Banks Sisters trilogy. Meet the Banks sisters—Simone, Bunny, Tallhya, and Ginger. They feel like they are finally in the clear in connection with the recent bank robberies—until their mother shows up demanding her share at gunpoint. She threatens to snitch them out if they don’t come correct. The situation becomes a bloody mess, and now, two sisters must band together to cover up the unthinkable actions of one of their own. As if that isn’t enough, Pastor Cassius Street hits them with another major blow. He refuses to sign over the deed to their Me-Ma’s home, as they had hoped. Luckily, Ginger has more than enough tricks to provide the pastor with a dilemma of his own. As the hunt for the bank robbers continues, Simone worries about being caught by the man she loves. He’s the head detective on the case, and with the recent dead bodies washing up at the riverbank around town, he’s closer than he thinks to solving the case. Bunny is dealing with the loss of her everything, Spoe. She vows to get her revenge by any means necessary on everyone who played a role in his untimely demise. Will she be able to convince her sisters to have her back once again? Tallhya is still hurting because of her husband’s betrayal, and she feels like she’s close to losing her mind. Can any of her sisters pull her out of her downward spiral, or will they completely shut her out? How will these sisters deal with their own mountain of problems, get back the only home they know, and get their lives back on track? Only time will tell . . . as long as they stay one step ahead of the circumstances they unwittingly create. The Banks Sisters 2 will make your head spin with all its dramatic twists, turns, and deadly surprises.

Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Nikki Turner returns with her most spellbinding story to date: Meet the Banks sisters—Simone, Bunny, Tallhya, and Ginger. The four beauties are living under the same roof by force, but they can’t stand each other. Their only common denominator is their loving grandmother, Me-Ma. When she’s not at work trying to make ends meet, she’s home with her girls, trying to keep them from killing each other. Tragedy strikes when Me-Ma has a heart attack at church. The sisters are shocked to discover that Me-Ma left the house and all her money to the church. Now the pastor wants them out, unless they can come up with the money to buy the house from him. To make matters worse, Bunny already owes over a hundred thousand dollars to a very dangerous man. How can four broke women, each with their own mountain of problems, come up with enough money to save the family’s home—and save Bunny’s life? They devise a plan that could have them rolling in plenty of dough—as long as they can stay one step ahead of the law enforcement that’s on the lookout for a group of bank robbers who have burst onto the scene.

Book Description
Just like any dysfunctional family reunion, loyalty, love, and good times soon turn to bitterness, regret, and promises to never see one another again. At the end of the day, the Banks sisters are no different than any other family in the city of Richmond—other than the fact that they are rotten to the core. Sure, the girls are bonded by D.N.A, but they’re also tied together because of their past of robbing banks, extortion, drug dealing, and even cold-blooded murder. However, that bond means absolutely nothing to them. When it comes down to it, it is every sister for herself, even if it means throwing her siblings underneath the bus to avoid the consequences of their many crimes. Sisterly love be damned; this is survival!
