Flash Point (Nite Fire, #1)Flash Point by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

Wow! I’m blown away at the world building in this book. The author has created a very realistic dragon world. I also want to add that the violence and gore are very realistic and described to the point I can see it. Extremely well written! Dahlia is tough and gifted, making her perfect to protect the human world. Loved the great characters! I’m looking forward to the next book in the series!

Flash Point (Nite Fire, #1)Flash Point by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“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.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

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.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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!!!

Flash Point (Nite Fire, #1)Flash Point by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As the start for the first book it odes start off a little rocky, and feels like you were thrown in the middle of something, but it does explain during the even what caused this to happen briefly. Could’ve used a little more background to the story, but being the first book of a series it was to be expected. Im hoping for more in the future! Dalhia is a good strong character. She battles adversary when it’s thrown her way with a little oops here and there. The murder mystery/fantasy is a good combination that we don’t see enough of. I hope it continues onto the other books this way, or if it will swing one way or another. The writing starts off a little clunky and not as smooth, but it does get better later in the book! I enjoyed reading it and cant wait to read the other books in this series!

Flash Point (Nite Fire, #1)Flash Point by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this book straight through over two evenings (and one late night), completely ignoring my family and my responsibilities and I REGRET NOTHING. This book is action-packed, and had me on the edge of my seat. Dahlia Nite is a century-old lyrriken (dragon/human hybird) with powers of empathy related to grief and trauma. All to say she is a kick-ass fighter and protector of the human world from the various creatures that go bump in the night. After being hired to consult on a triple murder, she starts realizing that this is no ordinary monster or demon. She is forced to confront her own fears and enemies, while carefully keeping the human authorities in the dark about her real abilities and DNA. The tension between these worlds is so taut, and being half of this world and half of another keeps her balancing on a razors edge throughout the story. There are so many fight scenes that are written so vividly, you will feel the heat from the fire dripping from her fingertips. Great world-building, lifelike characters and epic battles you will not forget any time soon.

This was a first for me. I haven’t ever listened to an Audio book, but I am so glad that I did!! This book was awesome!! If you like shapeshifting fantasies, suspenseful adventures, and thrilling crime dramas this one is for you!! Dahlia Nite is a shapeshifter who runs from her own execution into the human world. Trying to keep her world a secret, she helps protect the human world from what lurks in the dark shadows. A string of gruesome murders puts everything at risk and she must find who’s to blame before her world and herself are exposed. This book had me on the edge of my seat trying to guess what would happen next. I would defiantly recommend this book and I can’t wait to read/listen to the rest of the set!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Nite Fire series. It started out kind of slow but keep up with it, I promise it is worth it.

Dahliah Nite, a supernautal crime scene cleaner, empathic shapeshifter, fire throwing dragon hybrid; half human half dragon; as known as a Lyrriken. She is exiled from her world, it had been 97 years since she made her escape. She is hiding, or at she is trying to hide. Coming back to the small town even though she had lived there previously can be risky. She is recognized by one human, he believes her to be a vampire and she hasn’t done anything to deter his thinking, the less he knows the better. But when she is put on a case involving fire she knows it was Lyrikken involved, but she doesn’t know why and why so many lives. As she gets deeper into the cases, running to lyrikken trying to figure out who she can trust and who is here to come to cause harm. She is partnered with Officer Evans, neither are good at working together. But has these progress she has to decide who she can trust and solve the murders/fires. But saving Evans after he accidentally stumbled into another world. She has to save him but just how much of the truth can she tell him, he already had suspensions. The book is a really good read it does take time, it is a rollercoaster but I can’t wait to read book 2 to see how the story continues. And what happens with Dahliah and Evans.

This is the first book in the series.  This story follows Dahlia Nite, a shapeshifting assassin, who runs from her world to escape execution and hides out in the human world.  When a series of strange murders start to occur, she must work to tamp down the secrets that are trying to get out.  I loved the different characters – dragons, humans, and even half dragons.  Even the two worlds were spectacular in description.  Cannot wait for the rest of the series.

I love a good mystery and I especially love a good thriller. Nite Fire: Flash Point (Volume 1) AUDIO BOOK by C.L. Schneider was all that and more. Plenty of action and adventure, plenty of opportunity to try and figure out “who done it” and I really enjoyed Cassandra King’s reading. She gives life to each of the characters and makes the story pleasant to listen to. I’m looking forward to the next one in this series.

Well, this little number officially popped my audiobook cherry, having not ever been a fan of audiobooks, I have always tended towards avoiding them. I’m a bit of a picky sod and if I don’t really like the voice of the person reading it, then I will just zone out and the story is ruined. I was pleasantly surprised though; Cassandra King did a phenomenal job reading some great work by Schneider.

Flaming heck this was a mystery and a half, loved the old-timey cop feel that seemed to permeate throughout as well as the fantasy element of Dahlia being part dragon, part human, twas very interesting, and the other creatures that cropped up were cool. Some of the descriptions were fabulously gross, and they properly made my skin crawl, dumping me right in the moment. I happen to think that action sequences are some of the hardest to write, but Schneider nailed it and I mean, nailed it. All the fights left me feeling breathless, they were snappy and quick, and even though there were lots of descriptions packed into such a small moment, it in no way detracted from the urgency.

Dahlia is a fiery character, both physically and emotionally, she knows her own mind and having been around for quite a bit has seen and experienced a heck of a lot, but home always calls, her past whispering to her in weak moments, fooling her into believing that maybe one day she could return to where she came from and be welcomed by the Dragon Elders. This is foolish and in her more ‘together’ moments, she realizes this, distracting herself with mysteries in the human world. One such mystery happens to crop up, a family having fallen victim to, what looks like, spontaneous human combustion, but she knows that this is not the case, and the hunt begins to find out who of her kind perpetrated such a crime and stop them before they can hurt anyone else.

All in all, I found this an enjoyable listen, I banged it on while I was crocheting and found that it really kept me engaged, holding my breath during the fights, mouth dropping open when Schneider left an infuriating cliff hanger at the end of a chapter. A really good book, full of juicy mystery and some sizzling bits of romance. Honestly give it a go, you can’t go wrong with it.

This is my first book by C.L. Schneider. It is not typically the type of book I read but I was intrigued by the synopsis. This was a really interesting book and well thought out, with amazing word building. The main character is a shape-shifting assassin Dahlia Nite. She is part human part dragon. She leaves her home to live on Earth, as she feels exiled for going against her queen. She decides to help the humans survive unexplained creatures as thanks for her not having to be killed in her home realm. All the lies she’s had to tell to keep everyone safe are stacking up, and are getting harder for the humans to believe. The narrator for this book, made this entire story for me. Such a great performance!

Nite Fire: Flash Point by C.L. Schneider 

Narrated by Cassandra King

Five Stars

 

Nite Fire: Flash Point is the first book in the Nite Fire series by C.L. Schneider. I have to say that the world building and character development is well beyond the usual talent of a new author. This book is amazingly detailed and flowed smoothly throughout. I was hooked from the very first chapter. The story is filled with action, suspense and mystery. Dalia Nite has fled her home planet and taken up residence in the human world. She is isolated and protecting the humans without their knowledge for them allowing her to stay in relative peace. Things start to get messy when more non human creatures start causing trouble, but will Dalia be able to solve the mystery?

This book was narrated by Cassandra King. I absolutely love her voice. She brought the characters to life. I have read this book before listening to it, and I have to say I liked it so much better as an audio, just because in my own mind I was butchering the names and places. 

This is a great book and if you like paranormal, I highly recommend this book. I’m looking forward to reading/listening to the next book in this series.

This is a book that all fantasy lovers should read. Being familiar with this work, I was very excited to listen to the audiobook to take the experience to the next level. And it certainly did just that. The narrator did a beautiful job giving life to each page. Dahlia became that much more tangible as I listened to the story, with each event and emotion. I thoroughly enjoy Schneider’s writing and King’s narration. Cannot recommend both of them highly enough.

A dragon/human shifter fantasy that I instantly loved and had to listen to each day as long as I could. The characters and the detailed description of the different dragon shifters captivated me from the beginning. Dahlia Nite has spent almost a century living among earth pretending to be human. She works hard keeping the humans safe from the dangers of dragon kind roaming the earth. After all this time, she is finding more and more troublesome creatures traveling to earth and destroying the very peace she is trying to uphold.

The narrator, Cassandra King did a wonderful job. She added excitement, empathy, concerns, and everything else the characters faced.

I throughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the next volume in the series!

Dragon Elders oh wow they seem like vicious creatures. They are the top dog. This is a very descriptive book. The audio is done really well. You want High fantasy, shape shifting this book is for you. Dahila Nite is the main character in this book she is tough as nails. Half human half dragon what is not to love. Dahila is very hard working citizen. Casey is a very career oriented person. These two start working together on these murder cases. This audio book intiences you wanting to listen more and not stop. Am amazing girtty, dark fantasy. Some twist that I never expected as well. Nervosuly awaiting the next book.

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first shifter/hybrid fantasy novel that I’ve genuinely enjoyed from start to finish. I was enchanted by C.L Schneider’s dramatic prose, and Cassandra King did a fantastic job narrating. Her performance was very dynamic and added a lot more thematic context to the story.

Dahlia Nite is a fantastic character, and her special powers as an empath and how she uses it to blend in among humans was very exciting. Schneider’s world building was also detailed, yet expansive. You definitely felt like Earth and its humans were just a small population ignorant of the countless other worlds full of mythical and alien creatures. Not only does it make for good fantasy, but the novel also treats you to murder mystery elements and introspective explorations into identity as Dahlia must choose how she wants to define herself as a Lyrriken, a half human and half dragon being.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nite Fire: Flash Point is the first book in the Nite Fire series. It can be read as a standalone as the main story focus is wrapped up, however there are other pieces of the story that are left open for the next book in the series.

This story starts off at a fast pace and never slows down! I was hooked from the first chapter. The author does a fantastic job of weaving a believable story and introduces interesting and complex characters in a timely manner. Nite Fire has tons of action and adventure mixed with a splash of romance. A gripping and spectacular reading adventure!
