In Chasing the Shadows, Nikki and Michael are still struggling to find a balance between Nikki's need to be out there fighting and Micheal's need to keep her safe. Along with an intriguing mystery of why women are going being killed in gruesome ways after the ransom is paid, there are several moments of danger for everyone and the exploration of the ever changing psychic gifts of Nikki and Micheal. I think what makes this the best book of the series so far is that Nikki and Micheal actually spend time discussing their relationship and what they each need to continue moving forward. I liked the parallels that are given here with Jake and his wife Mary trying to find their own balance after Jake has recovered from a brush with death. The realistic aspect of even long married couples having to adapt, grow with each other, and compromise in order to maintain a happy relationship is something that is often ignored in books that have romance anywhere in the description.
I would recommend Chasing the Shadows to readers that have read the previous books in the Nikki and Micheal series. This is the best book thus far in the series and shows some of the growth towards the quality that fan expect from Arthur.
