Nite Fire: Flash Point by C.L. Schneider reviewed by Lauren Cox

This is the first time I have ever read anything by this author, and I have to say I am quite impressed. The characters have a lot of depth the writing of this book is amazing, has me coming back for more.
The books start off with Dahlia and her past, she had grown up with heavy influencers in her life that manipulated her and made her believe she had to follow The Guild of Dragon’s orders and directions at any cost. She was exiled from her home almost a hundred years ago and now has found solace in the human would, as a half human, half dragon Dahlia has gotten good at hiding her dragon side from the humans and has dedicated her life to protect the human world.
As more mysterious and gruesome murders continue in her new hometown and more bodies are found she realizes these are the shape-shifters doing. Why after all this time is her past catching up to her? After all this time and swearing to never return to her old life again, what choice will she make?
This book is the perfect mix of supernatural and murder mystery, can’t wait to read book two!

I love dragons. I love badass heroines. And I’ve always loved books where it focuses on a consultant type person for the cops. This has it all! I just adore Dahlias character and how multifaceted she is. This book has all that plus a delicious murder mystery that kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat. I felt like i consumed this book and am about to devour the second. Read it y’all!

Nite Fire was a FANTASTIC read! I am so impressed! The story was original with wonderful lore, I could not predict any of it, and the main character is so relatable! Who wouldn’t want to be half-dragon and solve murders like a badass? Just the right mix of backstory with present tense. Wonderful lead-in for future novels and it was definitely NOT boring. I cannot wait to jump into the next one! I am hooked!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well I’ve read all kinds of books with shapeshifters, but this is the first one with Dragon shifters! Nite Fire: Flashpoint was interesting to say the least. I liked it but it took me a little bit to get into it.
Dahlia fled her world because she was sentenced to death. She was going to take the death in stride but her human empathy got the best of her and she escaped. Living in the human world she’s a cleaner. To humans she’s just a maid but she really cleans up the messes that those “make believe beings” create and leave behind. One night Oren sends her on a job that flips her current world on its axis.
Enter Detective Creed, who’s job and skill are to deal with the “strange and unusual” & flipping it into something the captain can report to the media.
Together these two work this case of family who were brutally murdered. Dahlia is coming to terms that it’s her own kind she’s up against. Detective Creed knows something definitely isn’t right. With his case and his new partner.
I enjoyed the character dynamics between the two, it’s actually what brought me back into this book. I was struggling before these two started working together.
Does Detective Creed find out what Dahlia is, and who they’re really up against?
This supernatural murder mystery will answer all those questions, you just need to pick up this book and give it a chance!

Chain Reaction (Nite Fire #2)Chain Reaction by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a book all about the supernatural.

Murder, mayhem, dragons, and mutants—oh my! Dahlia Nite is the only one who can discern the difference between monsters and humans. She’s been hunting one to defend the other for over a century, protecting mankind from creatures that slip through the tattered curtain between the worlds—creatures like her. However, the distinctions are becoming increasingly blurred. Dahlia recognizes a weird sickness has fallen upon Sentinel City as individuals begin to mutate and explode on the streets. From the upscale, high-end nightclub sector to the impoverished neighborhood, the unknown sickness affects people from all walks of life. Its victims, driven to random acts of brutality, are attracting far too much attention to be hidden.

Dahlia and her human companion, Detective Alex Creed, are assigned to the case and are investigating the fatalities. But all they have are questions and bodies, as well as a terrified public. Dahlia is working behind the scenes with her self-appointed sidekick, Casey Evans, to figure out what or who is behind the frightening changes. She wonders, as the violence escalates and the mystery deepens if the victims are still human. Were they ever-present?

I loved this story. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is my second book in the series from this author and I can’t wait to read the rest of her books.

Flash Point is a great read! I love dragons so I was excited to see where Schneider would go with this and I was not disappointed.

Thrilling dragon series starter
A gripping start to an action packed supernatural dragon series. This book had it all: mystery, suspense, drama, romance, paranormal and of course, dragons. It is an intense storyline, with strong characterisation and excellent world building that draws you in from the start. Dahlia is a strong female lead, that has a natural appeal and keeps the story moving. The author does a brilliant job at ensuring every character is memorable in their own right and the use of imagery is spot on. Looking forward to book 2.

Being half human half dragon is much harder then it seems. Then to be exiled. Can you imagine? I would love to be half and half. Best of both worlds. I would blow fire for the fun of it. And if in danger circumstance change to dragon form to protect my body. I love this book I never thought to be half dragon and human.

I really enjoyed this urban fantasy novel, as it was totally not what I was expecting. I thought the world-building and the elements to do with dragons were unique and intriguing, although I did find it a little confusing to begin with. However, once I settled into the story, I found myself enjoying it more and more. The characters were great, the plot is full of suspense, and I thought the novel was well-written. I can’t wait to read the next in the series!

This is a great fantasy read that is fast paced from the start! I always enjoy a good shifter story and this one definitely keeps you interested. Dahlia is the strong character you root for to find that peace she seeks. I really enjoy the relationship between Dahlia and Creed. The descriptions in the story really help you see the different scenes in the story from the characters to the crime scenes. I am definitely reading book 2!

This was a great urban fantasy read! I will admit that this book took me a bit to get into, once I got into it was amazing. The world building is great, the characters are awesome with a ton of character to them, and the empathy throughout this book is just incredible. I could hardly put this book down at some parts and was sucked in where I didn’t even know where I was at in other parts. I’m so glad I decided to pick this book up and I can’t wait to read the second installment of this series!

All I can say is wow. I really liked this book. This book had it all, dragons, adventure, and intrigue. As a reader we are taken on an exciting journey that kept us guessing what was going to happen next. Dahlia Nite is such a kickass heroine. She is someone that draws you in and makes you feel for her and everything she has gone through and continues to go through. This series is good and I look forward to the next installment.

This story with take you on a wild roller coaster ride. Full of amazing characters, a fantastic plot, dragons, and several other fantastic fantasy elements. The author has woven such an intricate story that it will keep you on the edge of your seat and you’ll never see what’s coming from one page to the next. Dahlia is fierce, tough, and refuses to back down from anything. The world building is phenomenal and while the ending does not leave us with a cliffhanger, there are still lots of possibilities. So if your looking for a great fantasy/ murder mystery then I highly recommend this book.

This is one of the longest books I ever read but I was not putting it down.
This is the female lead I love.
An assassin, half human half dragon…..yes I said dragon.
I am a fiend for fantasy and this is the exact story that everyone should read.
This is one of the most original stories I have ever read.
This story will completely suck you in.
As a series fanatic where is book two I don’t even want to wait.
With no other choice the lead lands on earth and one moment a killer, next a savior seeking redemption.
What can go wrong when you have an independent woman fighting crime?
The world building is everything and the imagery has you hooked.
Five stars all the way around.

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!

Flash Point (Nite Fire, #1)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!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

I can never say no to a book with an assassin as it’s main character! Being the first book in a series, this does not disappoint. The writing style is outstanding. And you get an adventure with a dragon shape shifting assassin, serial killers, and a murder mystery. This is an enjoyable, fast paced read that I could not put down!

Dahlia is a 100 year old dragon shape shifter who was exiled to the world that runs parallel with her own. When the city is threatened by a series of murders and lies, Dahlia is determined to get to the truth. You will have to read this book to find out what twists lie ahead for you as the reader.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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!

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!

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!

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.

Flash Point (Nite Fire, #1)Flash Point by C.L. Schneider

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.

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!
