Dahlia will forever be one of my favorite characters from a series as amazing as this! 🙂 We are at the final book and man, what an amazing ending! So much has happened with the other 4 books, and so much was added to this one book alone. Half of her team went to another world to retrieve Creed’s brother, as well as tackle what they can. While they are there, the apocalypse happens on Earth. Dahlia struggles with the dragon in her heart, I will always remember this series, and might even binge listen again! 🙂

Schneider – Review by Ashley Hasting
This is the final book in the series, and I have eaten up every single one. Having the audio version available is such a treat! Cassandra King is a phenomenal narrator who does justice to the series. She really plays Dahlia well, making the character come alive in a new way.
As far as the story goes, Dahlia has remained true to her core self. Without giving in spoilers away, she has also evolved into something quite new. Her supporting roles and friends along the way have developed, as well as the world(s) around her. This is such a unique story line, and is such an easy decision to pick up and read. You definitely won’t regret it.
I do have to say even the villains/anti-heroes I find myself empathizing with, or at least seeing from their perspective. This is such a nice wrap up to an enthralling fantasy series I know without a doubt I will be reading again. It was also, just a little bit of a shock I was not expecting!!! While Dahlia isn’t the most lovable character, she certainly is inspiring, strong, and extremely loyal. I haven’t met a character or being quite like her yet, and it was such a pleasure to hear her story. Love, love, love this series.

This series is fantastic….and I highly recommend listening this series from the beginning but it is also bittersweet it is the end…..
Dahlia, a dragon shifter, is trying to pick up the pieces of her life after the fall of Sentinel City…but with missing friends, the veil between the worlds, monsters galore…..will Dahlia finally bring her inner dragon out to help save the world?!?!
There is so much to this story… details that grab you and adventure and action that await! While I am sad this series is over (but will definitely listen to all the books again) I’m excited to see what the author brings out next for my listening pleasure.

Schneider – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
This was a wonderful final conclusion in this series. I cried at the end because it was over. The culmination of everything brought it all full circle. There was the perfect amount of action, hope, and heartache. I loved every minute of it. I can see people potentially being disappointed with the ending, but I think it was the best option for all. Definitely give this whole series a listen!

Schneider – Review by Amanda Glaspie
Nite Fire: Exit Strategy is an incredible story! This is the first book that I have read/ listened to by C. L. Schneider. From the first word, I was propelled into an incredible action scene and an apocalypse to boot. The action and suspense are present throughout the book. I did not want to stop listening for a minute!
The audiobook quality and the pacing are amazing. Dahlia’s voice is what I expected and her personality shines through. Some of the other male characters’ voices can be a little annoying but overall I thought the performance was great. During some of the intense scenes, the narrator slows down to really provide the needed impact.
Even though there were previous books that I have not read I was able to understand the story and fell in love the with characters. Dahlia is a strong female character lead. The authors’ descriptions of the places and the creatures gave me clear visuals of the world. I love how Dahlias’ shifting is described. I cannot wait to read/ listen to the rest of the series!

I have enjoyed listening to this series from the start. This is a series that I highly suggest listening from the beginning as they build on one another. It will help you enjoy this series,and the characters The narrator brings the story to life with are different tones they use. They made the characters feel real and had me coming back for more. This is not my first audio but it is one of my favorites. Dahlia finds herself in a race against time and dealing with the dragon inside that is itching to get out. This is a fast paced story that is entertaining and easy to listen to. I highly recommend this audiobook.

5 Stars Nite Fire: Exit Strategy Audiobook by C.L. Schneider
Nite Fire : Exit Strategy (Audiobook) is the fifth and final book in this series. Im a huge fan of this author and this series has been one of the best I’ve listened/read in a while. Its definitely going on my re-read/listen list. The narrator did an amazing job of bringing the characters to life and keeping my attention throughout the story. I didn’t what to stop listening I had to know what was going to happen next. All good things must come to an end but not if Dahlia can help it. Half her team is missing and she’s in a race against time. Can she find a way to save what remains of this new reality before the Renewal extinguishes all that is left? I loved everything about this story and the ending blew me away. I highly recommend listening to this book to find out what happens next. If you haven’t started this series I highly recommend starting with the first book and reading/listening in order. I can’t wait to see what this author brings us next.

Schneider – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
Here we are at book 5, It’s the end! Dahlia is one of my favorite characters. She is part dragon but she is also strong, brave and resilient. The apocalypse has finally come and the poo has hit fan. She is trying to save the world. She has so many things going wrong all at once that would make most people collapse. Old enemies return while she is trying to find her missing team. This author has again written a terrific book. A fantastic finish to the series. There is lots of action from the beginning to pull you in and keep you going all the way to the end of story. The narrator does a fantastic job of pulling you in and getting you into the story. I was listening as I did chores and it made them much more exciting as I kept hearing bits about exploding dragon or monster bits all over. The action was detailed. The drama was plenty. A very powerful ending to one of my favorite fantasy series. I have loved this narrator and the author. A terrific combo that has made this a joy to listen to. I love the fact that the snark is in Dahlia. She gives as good as she gets. Her team does as well. I will miss Dahlia and her snark.

Schneider – Review by Shelly Kittell
Dahlia has worked so hard to build a safe Sentinel City. That all changed in a blink of an eye. As the blight continues to devour everything in its path. Most of Dahlia’s team have gone missing and she must try to save them. I found Dahlia Nite to be strong and independent, with the desire to save those around her. The author of this story has once again kept me reading. This story had so many feels and the suspense was that of a rollercoaster, you never knew what was going to happen next. Which makes for an interesting and well written novel. It is a fantastic audiobook to listen to while traveling. This is the fifth book in this series. It answered so many questions as the book came to an end. It is important that you read the series in order. As I am so sure you will love it as much as I did.
The life Dahlia built in Sentinel City is over, shattered by betrayal and crushed beneath the rubble of a world she’s come to love. But, in the apocalypse, grief is a luxury none can afford. Least of all, the scaled vigilante fighting to protect them.
With half her team MIA, creatures rampaging the streets, and humanity facing destruction, Dahlia struggles to put out more fires than one shapeshifter can handle. All the while, the damaged veil between the worlds is eroding faster. Exits are multiplying, giving the blight free reign to devour all in its path. Relishing in the chaos: the mad scientist bent on seizing Earth for his own devious plan.
In a race against time, Dahlia must find a way to save what remains of this tragic new reality—before the Renewal extinguishes all life on the linked worlds. The dragon inside her is done sitting quietly in the background.

The story was pretty good. I read it in one sitting. The zombies in this story are exactly how I picture them in my head. Although the story was short, it was complete. It tugged at my heart strings and I could relate to the main character. At the end of the day all that matters is protecting and taking care of my family. How far would you go and what would you do to take care of you kid?

The second book of the Crown of Stones series continues with Ian in prison, defeated and without any hope. However, there are others, people who need something from him and people who have ill intentions for him. Either way, Ian will not be in prison long.
I was stuck between being sad, angry, and brilliantly amazed about how Ian’s journey continued with this one.
It continues several years after the first book. Several characters – friends, and enemies – return for more character development and continuation of the story. I was not disappointed with this book. It grabbed my attention right away and I was thrilled to follow Ian and glad he was not lost after the ending of the last book. I really liked how deeply this delves into Ian and how focused it is on him. Just like any book, there are those I loved and hated. But each character had their own segment, their own reasons to continue. Some fought for freedom, while others fought to live or simply to get closure.
In this book, the world comes alive, leaving you enthralled and enriched with the storyline. Everything becomes so real, almost as if you could touch it. I loved how this developed and was so excited to read the third one. This book is so dark and daunting. It left your brain worn out from the intensity. But it was such a beautiful book. I definitely hope others liked this as much as I did.

This was an excellent horror read! My only wish was that it was longer! I’ve read this author before and enjoyed their books but I loved their writing style with this genre. I really like the plot of the story and that not everything goes as you would expect. You could really visualize what Amy and Lila were seeing and experiencing. I didn’t expect the ending that came but it definitely was how it needed to end to make the story that much better. I really hope this author writes more horror style books! I will be reading more of their books regardless because I love the writing style!

Necrosis is a book that drew me in just from the cover art. I don’t normally read this kind of book, or watch zombie movies or shows. However, the book was brilliant. The author is amazing with graphic writing. The way she described the decaying bodies had me cringing. The book was short but was not lacking at all. The characters are wonderfully written and the imagery is off the charts. There was moment of suspense and a twisted happy ending, for some anyway. The love of a mother knows no boundaries, and I loved it. I did not see that coming! Highly recommend, and look forward to more.

All was well in the Amy’s world, albeit life wasn’t easy, she had her daughter and that was what mattered, the fleeting relationships with men, drugs, sadness and a slow spiral into the darkness were just that, fleeting, she still had her mothers love and support, until one day it all changed and the virus took hold. At first it was contained and there were only a few infected to start with, but as soon as it took hold, people started changing, they called it Necrosis and suddenly it was everywhere and it terrified Amy.
She knew it was a bad idea to try and get to her mother as soon as she entered the city, but she had pushed and now she was looking at her necrotic mother and freezing, just like every other time she was faced with violence, but this time, she had something to defend, this time, she had to protect her daughter and that was all that mattered. So muttering an apology, she put her mother out of her misery and escaped her childhood home before more of the infected could get to them, now they just needed to get back to the truck and get the hell out of there, but nothing is as easy as first thought.
They managed to get back to the truck, but there was also a need for supplies, so while it was quiet and infected free, Amy decides to see if there is anything to scavenge, but unfortunately, she is betrayed and this leads to confrontation and risk, especially when the infected breach the shop next to the truck and her daughter is in danger again. This time Amy is prepared to do anything to get to her and devises a plan to distract the infected so that she can get to the truck, but can she get there before the other parade of the infected get to her? Can Amy keep them both alive and escape the city before it is too late? This is a dystopian apocalyptic tale which plumbs the depths of a mothers love in ensuring the survival of her child in a world filled with danger around every corner, it pulls you in and keeps you on edge throughout, as you follow along this story which is perfect for the horror lovers out there.
The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars By: C. L. Schneider
The story The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars by C.L. Schneider is a fantasy book. This is the second book of The Crown of Stones trilogy. Ian Troy, the main character, has been captured by his old enemy, King Draken of Langor. He was kidnapped and the kidnapper did everything imaginable towards him, looses his magic by the drug he was given. But then he is rescued and as his body heals and rids itself of the drug he was given, he realizes that he has returned to an unfamiliar world gripped in fear. The ones he left he realizes they have been trying hard on their own. Ian is struggling to reconcile the man he has become, with the man he once was. He strives to understand the growing number of magic-scars adorning his body and he searches for the truth behind his link to the Crown of Stones. He soon uncovers secrets that have been buried for generations and finds to become the weapon the resistance needs, he must assume responsibility for his magical inheritance.
This is an amazing second book in The Crown of Stones series. The story is told from Ian Troy’s POV. As in the last book, through memories and flashbacks, Ian starts to remember what he did while he was held a prisoner and of his life before as well. He blames himself for things that he has done while in captivity. The feel of Ian’s character has changed a bit. This is due to his captivity and the drug that he was on constantly. Ian is such a likable character and I can say that some of the things that happen to him saddened me. He has many friends and acquaintances who help him and believe that any hope they have of freedom lies with him. This is truly a fast-paced, action-packed, magical journey through a world that is in fear and needs rescuing. There are battle scenes and adult situations that include hot, love scenes.

Emotional roller coaster Lost for words. This book is an amazing quick read. Raw, real and riveting this book will have you going through all the emotions. Amy is a formidable character, aware of her flaws but strong regardless. The setting is an apocalyptic zombie world and had me on the edge of my seat. This is a short story but packs so much between the pages. The sacrifices were plentiful. A must read! “I’m not crying, you are!”

Necrosis is a fast read that starts interesting and never slacks off. Amy, the main character, is easy to identify with and relate to. Going through a zombie apocalypse with her 9 year old daughter, Lila, brings out several life changing decisions. Sometimes she has to make choices that may cost her direly, or hurt someone else to save themselves. This seemed like a very realistic (given the circumstances) approach, and the choices were always real-life like scenarios. Friendships and her old life falls away, and basic survival instincts kick in. This is the 1st book I have read from this author, and I loved the writing style, world building, and character arcs. I absolutely recommend this to everyone, it was not too much horror or gore, and was very easy to follow!
This is a quick read, but it doesn’t disappoint. It starts off with action and keeps up a steady pace throughout the story. Intense, but then again, it wouldn’t be a good zombie-type story if it wasn’t. The main character, Amy, was easy to connect with right away. I can’t say too much more without spoiling it. If you like quick, intense reads, this is a great late-night story – unless you spook easily, then maybe read it during the day, lol.
Ian Troy is back and he is recovering from his time in captivity, since his rescue, he is numb, his jailers took everything from him, his memories, his magic, his will and his freedom, as well as the freedom of his friends. As everything slowly and painfully returns he is recruited into a desperate rebellion against the High King Draken, a long time enemy of Ian’s and the one who kept him in the conditions he has just escaped.
He is tasked with the job of retrieving and repairing the Crown Of Stones, an object he has used in the past which creates the magic scars which cover his body, it is an artefact of his people which is now lost again, but which is needed to overthrow the High King. Ian is reluctant to use it again and put himself in the path of addiction his use of magic causes, but he knows he doesn’t really have a choice in the matter if he is to save his scattered friends.
What he cannot understand is why his scars are multiplying even though he is not using his magic, this is where he learns about his ancestry and the secrets which have been buried in the past, but can Ian reconcile the man he was, the man he is now and the man everyone needs his to be? This is a fantasy tale of good versus evil and all the grey areas in between, as a reluctant hero faces the past and future in order to save a world which he struggles to merge with, as you follow along on his adventures and feel everything along with his in this roller-coaster of emotion you will not want to put down.
This is a well written fantasy science fi type novel with a strong protagonist. The details really draw you into the story and keep you turning pages until you are done. I loved the twists and turns, the non stop action, adventure and of course the relationship you can develop with the characters. I enjoyed this one so much I am gonna go back and read the first book as I have a feeling I missed some pretty significant moments. Absolutely worth reading!

Schneider – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert
To put in the simplest terms, Action Packed, Page Turner. Schneider doesn’t skip a beat, you jump right into the action, no room for leading story lines, your are transformed into an apocalyptic world first sentence. This was a very fast paced read, truly a page turner, certainly one that could be read in one sitting. And despite all the action happening, Schneider still manages to build on character growth. This is certainly a 5 out of 5 and honestly that says a lot since Zombie Apocalypse is not something I typically enjoy reading.
Gripping and highly emotive This starts off a few years after book 1. We find Ian Troy in prison and left for dead. It was only a matter of time though before someone needed him. I found the connection to Troy different this time with his magic suppressed and amnesia we get to see the person underneath. There is so much between the pages of this book and the author interweaves the connections flawlessly and brings the reader to a world that is as beautiful as it is broken. Characters that I came to love in the first book are back and the action, dialogue and the wide range of emotions kept me glued from start to finish. The storyline just keeps getting stronger and as much as questions are being answered, more things are being discovered. The stakes are high and there is still one more book to go. Highly recommend to fantasy fans – you won’t be disappointed.

Schneider – Review by Rayne East
Another fantastic read by the author. Schneider knows how to keep readers entertained. Necrosis was a great read. If you like horror then you’ll love this book.
Amy is a single mother and everyone is being infected. This disease turns you into pretty much a zombie. Her daughter had to watch her grandmother kill someone. Can Amy get her daughter to safety before it’s too late? The quote I chose for Amy is: “I suppose. But not all kids are my kid. You’ve learned how to take care of yourself in ways I never had to at your age. You know how to make a fire and a shelter. How to bandage a wound and find food. You know when to run and when to hide. And you learned how to listen. Sometimes. Most importantly, you’ve learned how to think on your feet. It’s an instinct that will help you survive. You know that’s what’s most important to me, right? Your survival. No matter what it takes.”
The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars by C.L. Schneider
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. The Crown of Stones is an amazing book. It had me hooked from the beginning and I had a hard time putting it down.
Ian has come back to find that everything is different. He has to come to terms with everyone being gone or doing something else. He finds that he’s got to come to terms with his destiny. The quote I chose for Ian is: “Liel called her release complicated. Neela didn’t want to talk about it. What’s going on Malaq? Where is Elayna?”

Necrosis is a fast-paced thriller about a mother and daughter, Amy and Lila, who are trying to survive this new world riddled with a deadly virus that is turning people into flesh-eating undead. Amy is trying to do everything she can to keep her daughter safe from harm. Just as they think they may have found the closest thing to real safety; the rug is pulled out from under them, and hard decisions have to be made. How far is Amy going to have to go to keep Lila safe?
I could not put this one down once I started reading. Though not a long story, the author did not skimp on action and detail. It definitely brought forth many emotions as I imagined myself in Amy’s position- being a mother of a child who is the center of your universe and you just aren’t sure you can fully protect them from the world outside, but you’ll do whatever it takes to give them their best chance. Definitely recommend! Phenomenal author. I will be keeping an eye out for C.L. Schneider in the future.
The first page brings me to the world of TWD. Excellent backstory and character development! Vanished fragments of humanity, committing necessary evil, desperation, and trying to keep your child alive in an apocalypse is excellent story telling. I was drawn in and couldn’t put the book down! A definite must read!
This was a fantastic read! As always, this author never disappoints and this is absolutely no exception. This shorter novel was very well written, very descriptive, scare in its almost realistic horror, and very immersive. I felt like I was right there. I was very easily and quickly drawn into this story and I could hardly leave. I highly recommend this story, especially if you are a fan of horror and zombies.
This story is so powerful. It is a story about survival and the love of a mother for her child. The story is impactful and I loved it. This author has quickly become one of my favorite authors, she creates books that grab a person’s attention and they are so difficult to put down until you finish. I highly recommend this book and this author to anyone wanting to read an epic novel.
“Raspy sounds of hunger pushed from her rotted throat, washing over me with the smell of old blood and things long dead.” This is the sentence that greets you when you open this tale of the dead. It eeks and reeks and creeks of sounds of the dead. C.L. Schneider describes in such intricate detail the vast difference between the living and the dead. She pulls you in with the dead sounding so close to humanity that when we hear from the characters, we know the feeling of seeing what was once human be so appalling and yet show slight shadows of the dead’s former self. I am a huge fan of apocalyptic books and stories and this does not disappoint. This fantastic story starts with Amy, the mother of Lily, her nine-year-old, standing in her mom’s house, after months of fighting for her life and with her boyfriend, she hoped, against what she already knew, that her mother was alive. As you follow her along in this journey of trying to fight and survive the dead, you become attached to her and her daughter and you will right along with her. Surviving, along with her, you become immersed in it and almost willing them to survive. This is one of the best stories in this genre. I give it a 5-star. definitely recommend. Though I warn you, because of how descriptive and alive these characters and things become in the story it can be a little unsettling. Definitely looking forward to C.L Schnieders’s books in the future.
