Okay let me start out by saying this book BLEW ME AWAY. The moment we were introduced to Dahlia aka Dahl, I immediately knew this book was going to be a favorite.
It is incredibly well written and the way all the characters are described you can perfectly envision them. Right down to their scale colors and changing. Whether it be blue scales or in Dahlia’s case red.
I couldn’t set it down from the minute I picked it up. As she and Detective Creed are going through the murders in Sentinel City, I could see the crime scenes so vividly.
This is a perfect mashup of a murder mystery and fantasy. I cannot wait to grab the next!

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!

New favorite fantasy series!!! I can’t wait to read the next. I typically don’t go for books with a cover of a human on the front, but after reading all of the reviews for this one, I’m really glad I took the chance.
Without spoiling anything, the author does an incredible job of character development, as well as world development. I found myself genuinely placed with impossible decisions along with Dahlia Nite. I felt like her moments of having to make choices alone, and with others questioning her motives is super relatable to how a lot of us as readers can feel sometimes, I know it’s true for me.
I seriously can’t wait to read the next book in the series, I’m in for the ride!!! If you’re debating picking this one up, make the leap and you won’t be able to put it down.

The world that the author built is astonishing! I was drawn in with every word and didn’t want to stop reading. The characters were written with such clarity and truly amazing descriptions. I only wish I could meet the characters and understand their thinking and why they are the way they are! The growth through the story was so well done and I can’t wait to see what comes next!

Dahlia Nite. She is everything one would hope for in a strong, heroine role. She has a snarky sense of humour, she’s strong, fierce, independent, and smart. Her weaknesses, of course, include the fact that she is an Empath, though, many would argue that’s a positive as well. It allows for her to feel all that needs to be felt, to power her through her ‘assignments’ and see right from wrong. The connections she builds with those who cross her path, and who need her, is admirable. Our lady is considered a ‘traitor’ in her homeland, and she has spent the last several decades trying to do right by the memories that haunt her and does a kick butt job at it too.
This novel was very unlike any other that I have read as of late and was much more involved. I found myself enthralled by the plot line, the twists and turns, and the way it has the reader falling into it, as though one was watching a movie. I think each and everyone of us has problems fitting into the ‘norm,’ whatever that may be, and want to know that we have someone looking out for us. Luckily for those within this novel, they have that in her. She clearly struggles with not feeling as though she fits into either the human world, or the Lyrriken world. Incredible story, characters, and world building. I will be reading more of the Nite Fire series and following our lovely heroine in her future endeavors. Well done!

<span;>This author is one that I have come to really enjoy since discovering some other series and I was so excited to start listening to this story. I was pulled I this story so effortlessly. I found it really easy to get lost in the narration and imagine everything been described. This is the perfect kind of book to make into an audio book as it is so imaginative and detailed. <span;>I really loved the story too. I thought it was a brilliant example of fantasy done well and it has me excited for book two. I would definitely recommend this story.

L. Schneider – Review by Kerry Baker
I simply loved this gripping book, and how the book takes off and how it soars basically from there, I was very impressed, and consumed into the story line, it was a great start to a series for me, I will be for sure reading the next installments. The author knew how to write a very much captivating novel!
Dahlia was such an awesome and strong character She was not a force to be reckoned with I loved how she was a from two different more less creatures of this Earth. She lived her life thinking one thing, then to her surprise not everything was what it seemed, I could even feel her shock and the feelings associated with it. I connected to her so easily, I felt I was right there with her even though the very much action scenes! She was strong as said, she faced many things, is the true danger out there in the world and the creatures she faces or is the battle of belonging the one creature she will need all her wit against?
The story was full of action, and suspense that kept on going, which I loved. It was never really a dull moment when reading this book. it kept me hooked and on the edge wanting to know more and what the next events would lead to. Things happened drastically, but I will say when I came to the end, I know more questions will develop in the next novel, and I can not wait to get my hands on it and read it!
Wonderful suspenseful writing. The author is very talented to say for sure, and wrote a very gripping amazing novel. I simply loved it and it was the perfect blend of fantasy and suspense. I could not get enough of this book and Dahlia! High recommendation, this is not one to be missed!

Wow! This is my first book by this author and I loved it! If I could give it ten stars I would! She really knows how to build a world that makes you see every stunning detail in your mind’s eye. This story is told in first person POV but the intricacies of every character are well fleshed out. I read this book not once but twice, back to back because I wanted to absorb absolutely every single detail. Dahlia Nite is such a strong character and brings not only her world, but our world to life in a way not only leaves you wanting more but leaves you wanting to read it again just to take it all in. Full of fantasy, fun, wit, violence and intrigue you won’t regret giving yourself over to this urban fantasy tale!

Dahlia is a dragon-shifter, who strives to keep the human world blissfully ignorant of the supernatural world. I was completely sucked in. I had a hard time putting it down and had to force myself into civilization. Very well put together story. I love a good dragon story.

I loved everything about this book! The author has created so much depth in the story, I was sucked into the world created within. Suspense, Action, Drama and Magic- it has all the necessities for a perfect fantasy novel and written beautifully. I love the intrigue and mystery put into the main character Ian, and his development over the course of the book. Definitely a must read for Fantasy lovers.

I love fantasies! Throw the word dragon or shifter into a story AND I AM THERE. But this author didn’t just throw the words around! It was filled with deceit and mystery. I loved the writing style, the plot, and the characters!
This was my first book by this author and I was not let down at all! This book is going into my re-read pile for when I am going through a reading slump!! Dahlia Nite is a well rounded character with plenty of arc to grow and change! I look forward to the rest of the series!

I just love reading authors new series. I am quite happy to read all supernatural and fantasy. This book was a great fit for that. I like the fantasy setting for this and the complexity. I like how the author has written the characters and how quite down to earth they are given the plot. I love the conflict in the book and how it builds for the main character.
Ian definitely is a character I can get into and also route for. I like how the author builds up the story and how the past is entwined. I look forward to the next book in this series.
Dahlia is a pretty strong shifter. She’s gone through some challenging stuff in her life and here comes this crap that is leading her back to home. She is facing the challenge hea don. With a supporting cast of characters, Dahlia is a well-developed character. Though a shifter, it is easy to empathize with her because some of her personality is easy to see in yourself. Her supporting case helps to keep the story moving without chop. The action keeps you glued to the pages. I found myself not really wanting to put the book down to sleep. It was engaging and kept you wanted to find out what was coming up next. Loved the ending. Highly recommend.

Urban fantasy is not a genre I really read, I’ve tried a few but they just didn’t appeal. However, after reading the synopsis of this book I thought I’d give it a try. I ended up really enjoying this book. It brought all of the elements of a novel from other genres that I would love with a little fantasy twist. The world-building was seamless and the characters are so well written that you got sucked into the story. You come to a point where you find yourself considering why it would be so odd if this were actually happening in our world.
Dahlia Nite is the kind of female character that I love -snarky, strong, smart, and she can handle herself. She does what needs to be done to catch the bad guy, even if it isn’t completely legal.
The story starts off when we first meet Dahlia in her natural world of dragons and shapeshifters. Things come to pass that cause Dahlia to flee her home, landing her in our world. The bulk of this story is written in the modern-day, urban world, though we do run into characters from her homeland along the way, just enough to complicate things for Dahlia.
Dahlia works as an arson consultant with the local police, after all even a shape-shifting half-dragon needs a job to survive in our world. The police are working on several cases of supposed “spontaneous combustions” that have everyone on edge. Dahlia knows it’s someone from her land but that’s all she truly knows, and she isn’t really looking to explain all of that to the police.
This book includes more than one murder and more than a bit of psychopathy, which is what I like. The storyline includes a lot of complication and messiness that keeps you guessing. Even for those who don’t think they really care for fantasy or urban fantasy; this is a good one to try out because it might just change your mind.

L. Schneider – Review by: Jennifer Bartholomae
An interesting dark fantasy with a tortured protagonist. Ian Troy fears the power his body can wield, and has attempted for many years to drown out the calling to release it. He is shamed by how uncontrollable his magic can be, and has paid dearly at the times it has taken over him. Having white-knuckled through the temptations for a decade, he stumbles into a battle which thrusts him back into the world of magic. I liked getting to know this unlikely hero, the pieces of dark and the pieces of light. The plot has plenty of battle scenes with armed combatants, and a nefarious villain to be rooted out. Lots of twists and turns in the plot as Troy is forced back to answer for his past sins and to stop future ones. A solid book that will have you turning the pages as fast as you can.
The story was phenomenal. It grabbed me in the prologue and didn’t let me go till the end. It was a great take on magic. It can’t be used without a price, something living has to die. I haven’t heard of that take before that I remember. That part alone had my interest.
The story line was great also. Ian Troy is a Shinree soldier. He has the magic for battle, yet is kills everything and everyone around when doing it. This type of power is hard to control.
Troy is running from his past. But now he has to go back to battle for his nation. But after vowing to never use his magic again, after a terrible loss, will he be able to help??
The narrator was on point with changing his voice and tone for each character. It made the story worth listening! I would love to listen to more books read by him.

This is not my first audible by this author but it is one of my favorites. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the narrator’s different tones of voices for the characters. I also enjoyed how engaging they made the story. It is a fast paced story that took me on an adventure that I had to know more about. This is a story about magic, fantasy, and mystery. This story has action, excitement and meaningful. Ian Troy is addicted to magic, born to be a slave and his magic is used only as it serves the purpose of other people. What will happen when he meets a beautiful assassin? When he comes face to face with his own power, what will he do? I really enjoyed this audible. I can’t wait to listen to the next book in this series. I highly recommend this audible.

L. Schneider – Review by Bobbi Wagner
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!

I have to admit, from the synopsis I was skeptical. I love being surprised when this happens. This book kept you on your toes and guessing as to what would happen next. Dahlia Nite just wants to live as normal a life as she can, blending in with the humans around her.
A hundred years ago Dahlia came to this world to escape execution at the hands of her dragon Queen. In that time she has had to hide her dragon nature from those around her and keep moving to stay ahead of those who seek her and those who would notice she hasn’t changed over the years.
I really enjoyed the characters and plot to this book. I’m excited to see where this series goes.

Nite Fire: Flash Point by C. L. Schneider – Review by Allyson Ware
This book is everything. It’s romance, it’s fantasy, it’s a psychological thriller, and it’s supernatural. So, it is all of my favorite genre’s wrapped into one. The author understood the assignment. The detail in this book was immaculate; it provided an immensely clear picture of Drimera, along with the characters in it. The characters have more personality than some real life humans do. I loved everything about this novel. I am incredibly excited to find an exit to the second book of this series.

All he wanted was to end the war. Fate had other plans.
Ian Troy is one of the Shinree, a fallen race born with an addiction to magic. Enslaved and drugged to suppress their deadly desires, the Shinree live to serve their masters. After years of forced combat in Rella’s long, brutal war, Ian is desperate for peace. With defeat imminent, he defies orders and wields the Crown of Stones, an ancient relic of untold power. Ignorant of the artifact’s true nature, he ends the war, but pays a terrible price.
A decade later, Ian is still running from the blood in his veins and on his hands. Curbing his cravings with wine and regret, he struggles to forget. But when a fateful encounter with a pretty assassin brings him down that dark path again, Ian’s addiction is awakened–and denial is no longer an option.
With the realm he gave up everything to protect once more in jeopardy, Ian becomes embroiled in a violent race for control of the Crown of Stones. As the deceptions unfold, his path becomes clear: to save the realms, Ian must embrace the one thing he fears most: his own power.

“We all have ghosts. Not the floating specters that rise from lonely gravestones on a moonlit night. Not the mischievous spirits that rattle chains or stomp their invisible feet across attic floors. Sparked by emotion, bred by trauma, these shadowy phantoms attach with sticky grips and a heavy weight, and they’re damn hard to shake. Dragging on every step, cleaving to souls like a stubborn wad of gum; they cling, embrace, pollute.”
What I liked most about this story is that the shapeshifters were dragons. Most of the time shapeshifters are werewolves in stories. I also appreciated the strong female lead. Although this is a fantasy novel I felt like there was a lot of mystery and a bit of thriller in here too. Kept me interested the entire time. I think what I enjoyed most about this book is that it didn’t have that bubbly romantic feel to it like a lot of fantasy novels have. It was dark and stayed dark throughout the story.

This book was amazing, it had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, I could not put it down. It is well written and full of interesting, well rounded characters. It involves love, passion, lies and deception. It has action-packed, mystery and dragons, who doesn’t like a book with dragons. Dahlia Nite is a century-old lyrriken (dragon/human hybrid) with powers of empathy related to grief and trauma. she is a kick-ass fighter and protector of the human world from the various creatures that go bump in the night, she is a very strong heroness is a butt-kicking assassin with attitude that I absolutely fell in love with. yet she has some insecurities and mistakes that make her very relatable and likable. There are so many fight scenes that are written so vividly that it felt like you were really there watching then. This book is amazing with great world-building, lifelike characters and epic battles you will not forget. I can’t wait to read what comes next

If you like shifters, mystery’s and good books that will have you hooked from the beginning, then this is the book for you. Dalia Nite is a shifter who has to leave her world behind due to being wanted for execution. She goes to the human world for her own safety and helps keep them safe from things that are lurking in the shadows so to speak. When a string of mystery murders come up she has to solve them and fast. Can she do it before more people die? I love her character the absolute best, I know she’s the main character and I’m supposed to but I really did just absolutely love her. She’s so strong, she’s fierce, and I loved that she met every problem head on! I would highly recommend this book.

What a way to start a series! A paranormal story completely action packed with mystery, drama, suspense- I could not put this book down! The characters are so well written, especially the main character, Dahlia, who is kickass with the perfect amount of sass. I was engulfed into Dahlias journey and felt like I was right there with her throughout the book. I cant wait to continue the rest of the series- definitely a must read for Paranormal lovers.

Dahlia is a half dragon half human brainwashed into believing she owes everything to the high ranked dragons. she’s trained to not question and assassinate as directed and was great at her job… that is until she hesitates killing a child as her unknown empathy powers awaken.
this hesitation is seen as insubordination and she’s sentenced to death. however she escapes narrowly into the human world via a portal and tries to start over hiding among humans
dahlia is a well built character and you will cheer for her as she escapes brain washing and discovers who she is. don’t miss this story, or the second one after as both are edge of your seat Page turners!!!
