The Circle is a loose coalition of psychics, vampires and other paranormal creatures whose goal is to destroy evil supernatural beings whenever they find them. Michael, a vampire, last worked on a case with the mortal Nikki and the two fell in love with each other. He walked away from her rather than chance her getting killed because of his dangerous lifestyle.

Fate ignores his wishes and the leader of the Circle sends him to work with Nikki on a case where a teenage boy in missing. She thinks he's in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and that is Michael's destination. Over fifteen rich men with young trophy wives have disappeared from a plush hotel in the own and when twelve return as mysteriously as they left, they are never seen in the daylight again. Michael and Nikki's cases intersect and the two of them prepare to fight an evil stronger than anyone they knew existed and almost more powerful than the two of them combined.

Keri Arthur is a fabulous writer who has such a powerful imagination that she can actually make the audience believe that the creatures that populate the book are real. That is a very special kind of magic, one that very few authors of the paranormal can do. HEARTS IN DARKNESS is a very finely crafted romantic supernatural thriller.
