Not calling this 'Lifey After Wifey' is one of the biggest missed opportunities of all timey.

[Lesa Divine · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overall this book was alright. At the start of this book it was a bit slow but, then it started picking up.

Life After Wifey is when Kira dies. Then we started to get to read more about her cousin Nikki and Nikki boyfriend Syncere, Kira friend at her hair shop Rhonda.

Nikki is upset about Kira dying and want to find out who did it she still was thinking that her boyfriend Syncere had something to do with her death she knew he had something to do with her getting shoot and Marks death.

When Nikki questions Syncere about it that's when it takes another turn with him.

Syncere was set up to get robberd and murder but, he lived and he had to find out who set him up. He found out and got back at them.
He then ends up in jail for trying to run away from the police.
While he locked up Nikki tried to help him get out by doing everything he asked her to do. But, Nikki had doubts about even being with him after talking to his partner Quincy she gets the scoop to how Syncere really is.

Nikki and Quincy gets very closed to each other. In the mean time Rhonda want Nikki out the shop due that she don't want a snitch around the shop. Nikki runs into the man that killed Kira when she take a trip to D.C. with Quincy. Nikki brakes down and tell Quincy everything about what lead up to Kira getting killed.

At the end of the book I was blown away. :)

Book was good overall and yeah I liked it now can't wait to read part 4 :)

Life After Wifey focuses on the supporting characters from books 1 & 2 in the Wifey series.

Kira is presumed dead. Nikki, her grieving cousin, vows to avenge her death, but she has to stay alive herself, because Syncere is not the loving, supportive, boyfriend she thought he was.

Can't hold water Rhonda, is pulled into the action after she volunteers to help Nikki clean out Kira's apartment. While they are there, they find Kira's diary. Curiosity gets the best of them and they decide to read the diary. Rhonda find out some information, that Nikki already knows about, and she is sworn to secrecy. Well, she blabs to her sorrow boyfriend Tony. They devise a plan to get Nikki out of the shop that was currently co-owned by Kira and Rhonda.

Some bad karma falls upon Syncere, and Nikki is forced to work with his partner Quincy, Kira's ex. After a night of drinking, Quincy opens up and shares some information about Syncere with Nikki.

After an impromptu visit with Quincy, Nikki realizes just how much in danger she is in.

Sounds really good....NOT! This book dragged on. The majority of the book was very boring. Nikki was a character that I felt absolutely nothing for. Everyone she came in contact with was harmed in some kind of way, and she came out with not even a scratch. I'm not sure if I want to finish the series. Hopefully with the return of a surprise character, the next book will have some redeeming qualities.

All these books could have been one story. The main character pissed me off and the storyline seemed forced

[Nikki Brookins · Rating 4 out of 5]

I knew Kira wasn’t dead. Something in my gut told me she wasn’t. That’s messed up grandma died especially when the feds was suppose to have her house under surveillance. I may be wrong but something tells me Syncere is not dead. Syncere was one crazy a$$ man. He didn’t care about anybody if he is dead good for him. Rhonda in the first 2 books of the series I thought she was okay but she turned out to be sheisty and drama filled too. She was too busy worried about what was going on in other people life when she was laid up with a sorry piece of an nothing man, Tony. I really hated that Quincy was short lived in this series he got trapped up in this drama cycle only because he decided to take Nikki with him to see Papi. Carlos recognized Nikki as she did Carlos. Bad move on Quincy part. I really pray Kira stay in Witness Protection and take her whining a$$ cousin Nikki with her this time. Nikki is so street dumb. On to the next book of drama in this series…

AWESOME book!!. This book was a page turner, i read it on 2 days, becuase thats how good it was. This book is about choices and how you want to live your life. This book teaches you that you have to stand up for your self and don't let any one tell you what to do and abuse you. Nikki finally faced Syncere and did what she felt like doing which was to find the person that killed Kira and she kinf of felt like it was syncere who had part of it( but he didnt) so she wanted to have her revenge on who ever did it. Nikki went through sooooo much, she was at risk of getting killed, she had to help Syncere with his problems, she was trying to get over the death of her cousin Kira, no one at her job liked her any more- so she barely had any friends ecxept fot Q. She does cheat on Syncere but she didn't really care any more about him, because she saw that he didn't treat her the was he was supposed to so she just didn't care any more, and didn't waste ehr time on him any more. I recommend this book to people that like to read about drama, and teenage/adults problems that we face daily, and how we should over come them.

_ This book was very good , I have read the other two books in the series. This one topped both of them in my opinion. The ending of the book is surprising and very sad. This book is mostly about the main character Kira's cousin Nicki trying to figure out who kills her cousin Kira. She is dating a man name syncere which she is in love with or so she thought she was until later on in the relationship she starts to notice how much of a physco he is . She also starts to think that maybe he has something to do with her cousin being killed. Everyone that Nicki comes in contact with start to die like flies. She doesn't know what to do . The most important person to her has died and she feels like she is next and has no where to run. This book has a lot of drama and suspense . It will have you not wanting to put this book down it is GREAT! I would recommend this book to someone who likes to read urban books , young adults and people who like to read books with crazy drama . I would not recommend this book to anyone not in high school. FACT: The people that kill Kira will be found and pay for what they have done but it will be a bloodbath trying to figure out who does it !

Ugh, I don't like that Nikki. Everyone seemed to die EXCEPT her! She didn't get shot or anything! She is just too naive, stupid, greedy, jealous, and back stabbing for me. She seemed to want to BE Kira and was on a total power trip. She really works on my nerves and her time should have been up! This book was focused on her and her capricious boyfriend Syncere and it is aggravating to read a novel and dislike the main characters so much. This book was good but not great like the first two parts in my opinion. It just wasn't the same without Kira on every page. Although certain parts of this book were unrealistic and predictable, the new twists that Kiki Swinson had in store for us were shockingly great and I loved each one. This installment wasn't nearly as ghetto as the first two which is a HUGE improvement. Another difference between these novels is that this one seemed rushed, especially at the end. It came to a close VERY abruptly, without many details, and she wrapped the ending up in like one paragraph while of course leaving it open for a part 4. I will keep reading this series just to find out if Nikki finally gets what is indeed coming to her!

[Syn Challenger · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really liked that Kiki Swinson writing style definitely improved for the better in this novel. It came off a little rushed towards the end of the novel. With the slaying of Sunshine, Rhonda and the other guy. Kira reentering to the end was a little choppy as well. But the entire story line is interesting and I keep reading to find out what's going to happen next.

I was a little disappointed that Nikki's character wasn't developed more. I thought she would have a stronger character then trying to step in Kira's shoes when she though that she died. And even with her cousin gone, she still stayed in her shadow. Nikki, should have gotten her own identity in a sense, she just became an extension of Kira, while she was gone. From the hair salon, to driving her car and taking most of her stuff to even sleeping with her ex. A little on the weak, tacky side.

Onto Still Wifey Material, let's see how much Nikki actually shows her ass and what would be Kira's reaction to it.

[TiffanyB · Rating 3 out of 5]

Boring...Who wants to read about Nikki and her crack head boyfriend. Or Rhonda and her bum scrub for that matter.To me a book like this is a filler to add a book to a series. Such a disappointment. The only reason why I gave this book 3 stars is because I did finish it.

But come to think about it that was only because I read somewhere on the back of one of the books that Kira comes back to Nikki's funeral and I wanted to see how that's was going to happen since she was supposed to be dead.

Side bar: who puts that on the back of a book!!! That's a major spoiler in itself!!! Again another book from Miss Swinson that doesn't pick up till the last 2 chapters!!!SMH:-/

[Necia · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not bad. After reading my last urban novel, which is also a trilogy, I was prepared for the worst. Although this book was slow at times, and the main character wasn't "wifey", it was still an ok read. I liked the way the author managed to include wifey although she wasn't the main character. I really thought this was the end of this series, and nope, sure enough there is a 4th book. I guess this is a full blown series, and Im actually planning on continuing reading it.

[Shanaya · Rating 3 out of 5]

this one definitely didn't do it for me. im sorry but the cousin is boring. and she didn't have a hard bone in her body you can tell she was trying her best to feel kira shoes but they just aren't the same size . her woman intuition kicked in some many times that it wasn't even funny. don't get me wrong i am happy that my girl is back but im disappointed that there's another sequel after this there are just some things you leave alone and this one of them

[April Sherman · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was dragging and Nikki's story was actually pointless and uninteresting at some points...However, if you've read the previous 2 stories it's easy to follow. The ending was definitely needed to make this story relevant. Oh but I will NOT tell. I Like the author..just began part 4 today and becoming uninterested but I must know what happens next!!

[Dee Cherry · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fast action. Nikki's story told. Many killed in this book. Syncere vicious as ever. Locked up on gun charges. Nikki recognizes Hispanic killer. Rhonda & Nikki find diary. Papi aware of Nikki's knowledge. Quincy & Nikki become friends. Quincy, Rhonda & Sunshine killed. Syncere killed by Nikki. Grandma killed by Papi. Kira not dead.
