Dancing with the Devil by Keri Arthur
3.0
I could not help but draw similarities between Dancing with the devil and Anita Blake series. I loved the mystery of Dancing with the devil, and you have to admire the main character Nikki who has managed to survive a life on the streets and become a private Investigator. Nikki has some unusual talents in that she possesses Telekinesis and Telepathy. This is a handy trait for a private investigator to have, especially as she meets the Mysterious Michael. Michael is trying to hunt down and destroy the big bad evil vampire Jasper, and of course he develops strong and Instant desire for Nikki which he tries to ignore.
The story line for Dance with the devil is similar to a lot of Vampire novels, which was a bit disappointing, but I did grow to like the characters Nikki and Michael although I felt more for Nikki’s human boss Jake than I did for Michael which is unusual for me as I usually side with the Bad Boy. Jake is not a romantic third which makes this book more enjoyable for me, as Jake is married and more like a best friend/ brother to Nikki, looking after her and keeping her from making stupid mistakes, I do think a lot was left open with Jake though and mystery surrounds him, making me think in future books he may not be what he seems.
As I have said in earlier posts, even if the genre plot is the same as the rest it is the little mysteries that the Author provides that makes it enjoyable and stand out from the rest, and I really do believe this is where Keri Arthur makes Dancing with the devil stand out. The book and plot were full of little twists and turns and kept me guessing and reading.
If you enjoyed Anita Blake by Laurel K Hamilton, I do think this is a book you should try, I am Looking forward to reading the rest in the Nikki and Michael Series.
