I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Hearts in Darkness is the second in Keri Arthur's Nikki and Michael series.
Jake and Nikki have been hired to keep tabs on a young man who seems to be in jeopardy of running away from home. While following him, she runs into vampires and they kidnap the boy and injure Jake severely.
While Michael has been doing everything he can to distance himself from Nikki in an attempt to keep her safe, he finds himself forced to go to her yet again, because the case she is working on will intersect with his business and she may suffer without his protection.
Thrust together yet again, they must find a way to work together and to deal with the disappearances that are becoming more frequent. They must also find a way to deal with each other that will be agreeable to both of them.
This second book was more polished than the first one and a smoother read. Nikki and Michael both have their issues: his desire to protect her by not protecting her and his unwillingness to compromise, for starters, and her practically pathological inability to avoid dangerous situations and her idea that compromise means 'her way.'
Aside from those quirks of character, I quite enjoyed the story and will be glad to see more of their story.
