H.B.I.C. brings the crew back with Elle, Twyla and cousin Needra as they have become international brides, drug smugglers, and now they embark on becoming drug dealers in new territory.  The young ladies are experiencing grown up endeavors with danger lurking stealthily in the shadows.  Now that they have a legitimate goal in sight, their hustling instincts have kicked in to overdrive as they grind with a purpose.  Although their love for fashion and designer labels proves to be a stumbling block in their naiveté.H.B.I.C. 2 continues the saga as these young ladies venture into the seedy jungles of Venezuela, to the backwoods of North Carolina...all for the love of money.  Again, a great storyline peppered with death, betrayal, drug activity, bravado, choices, and allegiances are tested and defined as they delve deeper into a life of crime.  I love the underlying message of their Christian upbringing, a very loud yet silent message.  In their pursuit of dirty money, they encounter treason among family and friends....will they stand or fold?  I would have liked to see more character and scene development displaying growth with their age and more emotional exhibits instead of just matter of fact situations.  Part 2 cinched this as a commendable read.  The cliffhanger ending left the reader further intrigued with even more questions...Kudo's!
