Nite Fire: Flash Point by C. L. Schneider – Review by Lyndsay Withey

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

First, let me start out by saying I am so excited this is a series! I can not wait to continue living in the world the author has created! I will say however this book is so filled with details it is not a book you can speed through. It was probably a good 10-12 hours of active reading time versus the 4-5 hours I’ve been used to with other books I’ve read recently. This did cause a slight struggle for me as it was not a book I could easily put down and pick up in carpool lines, doctors’ offices, or other places where I could read for a couple of minutes. This book required my full concentration and I loved every minute.

The story starts out with a prologue to give the readers an insight into what has caused Dahlia to find herself on Earth in Sentinel City. She has vowed to give Earth protection in exchange for the protection they have given her unknowingly. As we follow Dahlia on her journey to help solve a series of unexplainable murders, we meet other characters who like herself are not from Earth and have found sanctuary in this land. While Dahlia is teamed up with the lead detective on the case, we realize he might not be like every other human she has met. There are a few intensely graphic scenes however it does not take away from the story being told.

I was recommended this book because I have enjoyed books like Dresden Files, Monster Hunter International, Hard Magic, and other books in the sci-fi/fantasy/magic genre. This book was a little slow to get into but once I could truly give it the concentration and dedication it deserved, it very quickly became found it’s way to my favorites list. I can’t wait to read books 2 and 3 (as well as any others the author puts out.) I can’t recommend this book enough! Do yourself a favor and grab a copy!
