Nite Fire: Flash Point by C. L. Schneider – Review by Desiree Ottinger

Flash Point by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I felt like it was destiny for me to pick this book up to read because it’s about a half dragon, half human, red-headed woman… and I just so happen to be a red headed woman with the maiden name of “Dragon”! 🙂

Dahlia, the dragon half-breed, has to leave her world when she is slated for execution after hesitating to kill a child witnessing her assassinate a mark. That hesitation sets her on a course to the human realm, running from retrievers and keeping humans safe from creatures of other realms for almost a hundred years. She goes back to the city of Sentinel, where she first came out of her realm, and tries to start over, again. While she is there a string of hideous murders happen and don’t show signs of stopping anytime soon. Dahlia teams up with the police to steer their investigation away from what she knows is attacks by her own. As she battles within herself with what she was raised to know, to what she now knows, she is torn. Can she come to terms with the two halves of herself in time to protect dragons and humans? Can she learn to trust others, even as she finds out the truth behind her escape and exile?

I really enjoyed this read! It kept me turning the pages to find out what happened next. I rooted for Dahlia to figure out what was happening as I suspected that some of her friends were not truly her friends. All the characters were likable and well developed, in my opinion. I loved the ones I was supposed to and highly disliked the bad guys. The world building was fantastic! I felt like I was experiencing other realms in my mind.

As a first book goes, it was intriguing and gut-wrenching at times. It set up a world that I want to know more about and can’t wait to continue reading the series. My hope is that as it continues, more information is given about the dragon world, the Guild, and their “exits” to other worlds! Looking forward to reading more!
