Dancingi with the Devil by Keri Arthur (Urban Fantasy, Romance, Vampire)

A copy of this book was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.

Dancing with the Devil by well-established author Keri Arthur is an Urban Fantasy and romance, featuring vampires.

Private investigator, Nikki James is on the trail of a young woman who has left home.   The girl's father wants her back, though the girl has other ideas.   Nikki is determined to bring her home, her urgency to find the girl and her reluctance to abandon her, driven by Nikki's years living on the streets and running with gangs and also by a choice that she made that she now regrets.

Sent by the Damask Circle to keep Nikki alive, Michael Kelly finds more in Lyndhurst than he had expected.   Not only does he have a startling connection with her, but he also finds that he is familiar with the person behind all the trouble.

Since Nikki refuses to give up searching for the young girl, Monica, Michal must stay to protect her in whatever manner he can, even if she doesn't wish for him to do so, and especially when Nikki becomes the focus of evil intent.

This is the first book in the Nikki and Michael series.  Although not as polished as her Guardian series, it is a very good read with characters that will draw you into the story.  I did wish Nikki and Michael were a little less conflicted, but the story works quite well as told and I do wish to see what happens in the next installment.

A good, entertaining read.
