Smoke & Mirrors (Nite Fire #3)Smoke & Mirrors by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this third installment, with a new case, Dahlia returns working along side Alex. Sentinel City finally seems to be catching on to the fact that weird and unexplained occur more than in other places which leads to the Unexplained Crimes Unit. The main case in this book centers around the discovery of dismembered bodies, not all of which seem human. This, as usual, requires Dahlia to have to cover things up and lie to those she is working with while working the case using her knowledge of other worlds and creatures. Add in her close friend Casey is not currently himself, the Dragon Queen making an appearance, and her growing empathetic power, the ticking time clock on the infected worlds and the spreading infection. Will Dahlia be able to solve her case? Keep those she cares about safe?
I absolutely loved this book. The writing and character development continues to be spot on as it was in the first two books of the series. The underlying story that carries through the first two books is continued and built on in this book as well leaving you once again wanting to know what will come next. I had a hard time putting this book down. I would recommend reading this series in order, all three books are worth the read.

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

In this book, Dahlia Nite and others return. Dahlia continues to work with Detective Alex Creed, this time on a new case. The new to this world drug, Chrysalis. The drug is causing humans to mutate as well as combust in the streets. Dahlia and Alex work well together; I feel because of their differences. Their interaction are so realistic and entertaining. Still Dahlia works to discover who/ what is bringing these troubles to her city. With the help of others with she be able to figure it out soon enough or will others in it for themselves stand in the way?

I thought this book was even better than the first. My favorite characters continue to develop on a personal level as well as in their relationships with each other. It makes it hard to put down. With each new thing you learn the characters speak to you just a little bit more and yet I think there is still plenty more to be learned about each of them. The story line flows well from book one to this one. I do think you would be better off reading this series in order. I would absolutely recommend this book as well as series to others.

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

Dahlia is a Lyrriken, half human half dragon. She was raised to be an assassin for the Guild. When she is sentenced to death for a mistake, she runs, escaping through an exit portal. After more than 100 years of constantly being on the move to avoid detection, Dahlia returns to Sentinel City. There she works as a fire investigator on contract to the city on an unexplained murder case involving fire. Turns out its not unexplained. It just is not a human crime. As she works to solve the case while also hiding the truth from from the human authorities more murders pile up. The more Dahlia learns the more she questions if she is making the right choices. But she is determined to make a difference. Will it be enough?
This is the first book by C.L. Schneider I have read, but I will definitely be reading more. This book had a lot of different dimensions, building up both the characters and the worlds themselves. I found it very easy to imagination. There were a few places I feel like there could have been more description given; however, I have a feeling that will come as the series continues. I can not wait to see what comes next in this series. I would suggest reading this book.

The View from HereThe View from Here by Leon Stevens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Thomas starts out on his day hike, he has no idea what awaits him. When he reaches the top of the trail, he notices a foot print in an unexpected place. Investigating the footprint leads him to find a cave opening he had not previously noticed. Feeling adventurous he enters the cave where he meets April. The two quickly decide to return to the cave and explore the world or dimension after getting supplies. The two then set out into the unknown who knows what they will encounter. I was not sure what I expected when I selected this book as it is not from one of my go to genres. I was really just looking for something different, which is exactly what I got. The book was a comfortable read that I just could not put down. I enjoyed how Thomas and April seem to fall into an easy friendship. The imagery of the dimensions and other things the two encountered. It is worth the read.

Theodore's Ring: BWWM Action Adventure RomanceTheodore’s Ring: BWWM Action Adventure Romance by Stacy-Deanne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Theodore’s Ring by Stacy- Deanne is action paced from beginning to end. Lydia finds that her boyfriend Cam has been kidnapped when she comes home to find a strange man in her home. In order to get Cam back Lydia must retrieve Theodore’s Ring, a priceless heirloom that was once in Cam’s possession. In order to get the ring, Lydia must travel into the Casanu Jungle with the help of her ex, Sullivan. Sullivan agrees to help but only because he is set on winning her back. The twists and turns in this story suck you in and having you waiting to see what happens next. While I really enjoyed the book, I do wish it had been a little longer. There a places in the story were I wish the back story had been a little more developed and that the ending had just a little more, I feel it was a little abrupt. Overall, this was an enjoyable story and worth the read.
