Private Investigator Nikki James grew up on the tough streets of Lyndhurst and believes there’s nothing left to surprise her. But all that changes the night she follows a rich man’s daughter into the shadows and finds herself caught in a war between two very different men. One is a madman, intent on destruction. The other has his own heart of darkness.

For three hundred years, Michael Kelly has existed in life’s shadows, gradually learning to control his vampire cravings. He is convinced that no one can breach his formidable barriers—until he meets Nikki. With her powerful psychic abilities, Nikki swiftly invades both his mind and his heart. Nikki knows how dangerous love can be . . . but if she wants to survive, she must place her trust in this man who could easily destroy her. For only together can they overcome the evil threatening to destroy them both.
I don't usually post reviews on books I can't finish, or I don't like to. I got about 42% into the eBook version and I just can't make myself go pick it back up and finish it. This book is about Nicki, a P.I. who is also psychic and Michael, the man who is looking out for her. The book starts off with a bang, sinister men and zombies. After that it jsut kind of fizzles off and is like an other urban fantasy I have read.
The big secret isn't all that secret and there is chemistry between Michael and Nicki. For me,  I don't know, there just wasn't something there to hold my attention and I have been reading this book off and on for the past month. I think it is safe to say that I am not going to finish it. It wasn't horrible, just kinda boring and predictable for me. I give Dancing with the Devil two laser pistols as it is losing orbit.
