    This follow up to Life, Love & Loneliness titled appropriately The Crisscross has you perched on the edge trying to figure out who is going to cross who and how. Nikkisi Ling, Noki Ling, Kapri Henderson, and Ivanka Zamora all are entangled as each one deals with their pre-ordained fates. Nikki Ling has been used by the best of them. As this half black and Japanese woman realizes that she deserves better she decides to make a drastic career change and become a wife to a wealthy South African diplomat. Nikki's independent and street-smart thanks to being proliferated from the streets and having to crawl long and hard before she could walk. Although Nikki expects money to be her savior she's lost the only love she knew, but was it ever love? Nik meets a mystifying stranger who approaches her with the opportunity to rid herself of her circumstance. Is this the chance Nik has been waiting for? Or will Nik be stuck with the ultimate double cross? Noki Ling this brat is biracial, half black and Japanese the younger sister of Nikki. But PLEASE her haughty materialistic azz would never admit that she's "A SISTA" Noki resents Nikki, and regardless what Nikki does it will never matter cause she's never going to be able to get Noki to feel anything unless it's dollar and cents. It's all about the Benjamin's baby! Noki's greed has placed her and her sister in compromising situations. Will Noki's obsession for dollars outweigh Nikki? Kapri Henderson love for Knowledge proved to be a foolish investment. 13 years Upstate and Kapri is back! She has her son, a place to lie and now it's time to pay the bills. Kapri immediate thirst rushes her back into the streets where she immediately picks up the pace. Her parenting skills are beyond questionable. Kapri finds Knowledge and is immediately thrilled with his outcome, but will she resist the lure of outdoing the next? Is Kapri headed for self destruction? Ivanka Zamora an uncontrolled, rich white girl. Her fascinations lead to unanswered questions as she's decided that she's capable of pulling anything off. Ivanka devises a plan and slowly brings all of her pawns in, but will she be able to extract her attack before she's caught? Just when you thought that you knew the players in Crisscross Joshua Tune, Lacey Devaney, Madison Michaels, Portia Jones and Estelle Cardinale join in as a supporting cast. Has the unfinished business been resolved? The drama at times is way over the top, and it's also somewhat confusing. However it is an entertaining read anticipating that there is still yet to come!
