review 1: Kira and Nikki decide that they have had enough of the fast life in Virginia so they relocate to Houston, Texas. After a chance encounter, Kira and Nikki meets African brothers, Fatu and Bintu. Nikki, being Nikki, decides that she is going to get all that she can out of Bintu, not knowing that Fatu is the better catch, maybe, but Fatu is checking for Kira.Fatu wines and dines Kira, which makes Nikki envious. She feels that she should be the one receiving the expensive gifts, not Kira. So, she decides that she wants Bintu for herself, but he has proposed to Kira. Will that stop him from crossing a line with Kira's cousin, Nikki?After flipping through the channels, Kira sees a news report that a serial killer is killing women in upscale neighborhoods. She is instantly ... moreon high alert. After not being able to locate Fatu, and other concidentally incidents, Kira believes that Fatu is cheating on her. She decides to follow him one night, and she finds out something shocking about her fiancee. Is Kira in danger?The story had major potential, but it feel flat for me. Kira and Nikki's characters changed from how they were originally introduced, and not for the better. The old Kira wouldn't have let Nikki get away with half of the bull she pulled. The old Nikki wouldn't have crossed Kira the way that she did. Kira was her favorite cousin who gave Nikki the game. Kiki should have told what caused Fatu to do the things he did to the women in the story. Lots of loose ends that were not tied up made me give this book two stars.
review 2: Determined to start fresh Kira and Nikki relocate to Houston, Texas and jointly open a new hair salon. Everything goes smoothly and eventually Nikki and Kira meet African brothers and night club proprietors Bintu and Fatu. Before long Fatu sweeps Kira off of her feet with his sexy chivalrous demeanor and riches while Nikki glares from the sidelines extremely jealous. Fatu and Kira get engaged only three months into dating and that's when all hell breaks loose! Nikki decides Fatu should be hers and pulls every trick from under her sleeve to try to make that reality. Behind her cousin's back, she is soon sleeping with him, receiving expensive gifts from him, and maybe even spending a little of his fortune but who has who wrapped around their finger? The answer truly surprised me. Nikki dives lower than I would have ever expected in this installment. I've disliked her this entire series, and knew she was a dummy but honestly I still expected a little more from her character. It was very entertaining to see Kira and Nikki go head to head throughout this novel but the entire time I kept thinking, "Who are these women and where are the REAL Kira and Nikki?" We all know Kira is the baddest roughest toughest and Nikki is the weak pathetic wanna be so why did Nikki one up Kira so many times? Totally inconsistent with the last three books I must say. I also admit that I am again disappointed in Kira. She was presented to us from the get go as extremely street smart but all that is obviously out that window. She lets too much suspicious things slide mentioning that she will deal with them later and never even picks up on that fact that Nikki hates her until it is too late. This hood tale turned murder mystery will have you frustrated, pissed off, and on the edge of your seat. It isn't the greatest but is still a must read if you have already started this series. Kiki Swinson's writing, in certain aspects, has been very reliable in this series. The over the top unrealistic situations are unfluctuating along with the quick ending, unanswered questions, gold digging method of operating, bird brains, and never learn anything personas these women seem to cling to. Hey, at least she is consistent. . . sometimes. less
