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

Dahlia Nite has lived undetected among the humans of Sentinel City for some time. Hunting creatures at all hours of the night to keep the humans safe, has been her personal mission for a while. A century! As a half dragon shape shifter she relies on many secrets and a lot of deception to keep her cover. Sometimes multiple covers! Walking in two worlds and belonging to neither keeps her hiding in plain sight, while also providing a good cover. Sometimes. It’s worked for so long. But nothing can stay hidden forever, right? When bodies start showing up dismembered and dumped at the river, Dahlia is on the case with human Detective Creed. Sentinel City begins to unravel while they try to set off with a new task force to uncover what is going on with these new killings. Clues set them on a path from crime scene to crime scene, but there is something wrong with the evidence and it just doesn’t add up! Already on edge, Dahlia employs her empathic abilities and uncovers something that makes her worlds crash into each other head first. All the secrets are piling up and she’s not the only one who is keeping them! Yeah!! She struggles to shield her friends from the truth about the veil and the monsters, but the serial killer, missing creatures, masked men, and her sidekick’s missing sister to boot is to much for Dahlia to handle! Will Dahlia break and everything come unraveled? Will her friends find out the truth about her and the worlds she tries to hide? Yet another great book to this set!! If you haven’t started this set you should!! It is so good!! It will keep you up all night just because you want to finish it!! This is defiantly one that I would recommend! And of course I can’t wait to read the others in the set!!

Fantastical brilliance
Absolutely love this series. The writing is spot on with a mix of paranormal, action and fantasy drama. This is the third book in the series and is just as brilliant as the previous two books. Best to read them in order as it does help to know the backstory and the characters more deeply. Dahlia Nite is a strong, talented and relatable FMC with snark. In this story she is faced with complex cases, unraveling lies and encroaching doom. So much going on and delivered seamlessly. Bring on book 4.

Nite Fire: Smoke & Mirrors by C.L. Schneider reviewed by Lauren Cox

Dahlia Nite is back in book 3 with even more mystery, murders and secrets.
Dahlia starts searching for answers as multiple species have been left exposed on Sentinel City’s riverbank. A discovery this big is going to be hard to hide or cover up and Dahlia is caught between hiding the evidence and telling the truth. She starts to distant herself more and more from Alex to try and keep her secrets hidden all while, she helps her sidekick Casey try and find his sister, are the crimes connected?
As Dahlias perfectly crafted lies and secrets start to fall apart and the line between new and old life start to become blurry. Can and will these secrets have deadly consequences? Can she keep everyone safe?
I love how much the characters grow and evolve in every book, C.L. Schneider does an amazing job at merging, action, drama, suspense, murder, mystery, supernatural, urban fantasy into these books and the plot twists, character growth has me reading these books into the late AM. I am 100% here for it and will continue reading this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This author has officially bought this story around full circle.
WHY DO I STILL LOVE DRAGONS?!
This right here….
Okay now these books are so long and it’s great because it’s alit of omg and yes and wow but,
Everytime I get to the middle it drags& it’s not the story it’s just so much at once and it never ends and then it’s over and I want more.
Do you see my dilemma?
The world of power and murder twisted into mystery.
Did I say there was a dragon? It really is the best!
Now the great thing is unlocking all the power that our female MC has inside and I’m guessing she has evermore amazing tricks.
Be careful who your friends are my mom taught me that!
This author has time to bring us gold.
I am going to give it four stars, it IS amazing but for me it was longer then it needed to be but I still respect and love this series and I cannot wait for more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reading, Nite Fire: Smoke and Mirrors, was a pleasure. The paranormal world C.L. Schneider built is unique and exciting. The main character is a dragon! That’s right part human part dragon. The dialogue between Dahlia and her partner in crime, Creed is entertaining. The writing in general is creative and humorous. Not only is the world fascinating, but the characters are also likeable, and it is action-packed. This is the 3rd book in this series. I need to go back and read the first two books. I, also, look forward to reading more by this author!

~ Dive Deeper into the world of Dalia~

I couldn’t wait to sink my teeth into the next book in this series. The author does such an incredible job of story continuation, world building, and character development. This series is definitely binge-worthy! A little bit of crime, a lot a bit of who dun it, and who doesn’t love dragons?! If you have read the first and second books in the series, reading the third is a must. If you haven’t picked up the series, I say again reading this book is a must.

Looking forward to sinking my claws into the next one in the series. What kind of adventures will she get herself into next? Either way…I am along for the ride!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Back at it trying to fight crime as a consultant. Dahlia is heading down a path of body parts in Nite Fire: Smoke & Mirrors. When I read a book in one sitting I would say I got sucked into it. I actually think book 3 was my favorite!
Casey is definitely a liability who could lead to the death of Dahlia if they aren’t careful. Which frustrates me! I understand he’s going through a lot with his sister taken, but now he’s jeopardizing the well-being of his best friend.
Then there’s Alex Creed. Dahlia is definitely struggling keeping him in the dark about her reality. As well as the other realities of their world. The most recent case involving all kinds of body parts from all different creatures is proof of that.
But how far will it go?
Can they get to the bottom of the case without that revelation?
Is Casey’s deception going to cause major issues for Dahlia?
I think everyone who comes across this review should read this series! Especially if you like the supernatural mystery, it doesn’t let you down!

This is book three in this amazing series. Dahlia Nite is a detective and is out to ride both worlds, the world of humans and the hidden underground world of supernatural beings, of evil.
In this novel we find Dahlia and her partner Alex in search of whomever or whatever is dismembering bodies, both human and supernatural.
The author really knows how to create a plot that hooks the reader in. I did not put down this book once I began reading it. I thoroughly enjoyed the mystery that needed solving and the intrigue it created. Don’t miss the first two books in this series. You won’t regret reading them in order.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dahlia Nite, not from the Human world but not one to be messed with. I absolutely love this book. The author has created such a strong female lead character that is so easily relatable to even for not being a human. Oh my gosh, the supporting cast of characters are so well developed and written that it is so easy to see the motives for acting the way they do. Can I just say that the otherworld creatures are just as powerfully written and described that I instantly get the visuals of the type of creature they are? Such a great read, with characters going between many worlds and the paranormal activity that is involved! I was very happy to have chosen this as a book to read. I was not disappointed!!! I was hooked from page 1 and did not look back. If you enjoy paranormal and mythological type creatures interacting with humans, this is the book to read! Wonderful elements of suspense and mystery and fantasy all rolled up neatly in the book that is a must read! Great female lead and that is always a plus in my book!

Our author does it again, all I can say for this book is WOW!!! Our main character Dahlia is back again and boy oh boy does she have another mystery to solve. This author really knows how to pull their readers and keep them enthralled until the very end. Full of shapeshifters, mystery, action, drama and so much more that I couldn’t put it down. While it’s the third installment to this series it could be read as a stand alone, that being said I would highly recommend reading the whole series to get the full effect and all of the details for all of our favorite characters. So if your looking for a great new book to read I recommend you pick this one up today, trust me you won’t be disappointed.

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

This book is the third instalment of the ‘Nite Fire’ series and so far the best. The author’s writing is getting more and more intense with each book and I am here for it!

This time, we once again follow Dahlia, a dragon shifter, who is still undercover as a consultant for the police. Dahlia and her partner, Alex Creed, have taken on a new case after finding a pile of severed body parts both human and not. Dahlia is finding it too hard to keep all the secrets from Creed so she lets him in a little. Meanwhile, Dahlia and Casey are still trying to find his sister but with no luck.

Dahlia is in over her head. Along with the case she has her own problems. Her dreams are starting to become different, more like visions so she tries to get to the bottom of that while trying to figure out this case.

Things are pointing in the direction of non-human activity. Dahlia has to try to solve the case while trying to cover up involvement from supernatural species.

This is not a stand alone book. It takes place shortly after the other two in the series thus far.

Once again we are in for an action packed supernatural adventure with Dahlia Nite, Evans and Creed.

They have discovered various body parts all throughout Sentinel City. Every time they think they make some sort of leeway into what is happening they are thrown for another loop.

On top of that since the prior book Chain Reaction, they are having more of a hard time actually hiding that there are other types of beings from the “normal” world. I couldn’t put this down, I finished it one day. Dahlia Nite is absolutely one of my favorite sarcastic leading women I have ever read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great story – full of fantasy elements and mystery throughout. I like how the author weaves various types of creatures, some that I have heard of and some that I have not, in a society where they hide almost in plain sight. Crimes that seem to be related draw Nite further into the mystery, blurring the lines of her world and ours. Some elements reminded me of The Silence of the Lambs but with dragons and fantastical creatures. I was a bit lost on some aspects of Nite’s relationship with some of the characters because I have not read the previous novels, but it was not something that ruined the enjoyment of the story.

The author continues to draw us into this world she has created that bridges the supernatural world and human world. She has entered the human world. She isn’t only supernatural here. She and her human detective are trying to solve cases of dismembered supernatural bodies. With unexpected twists and page turning suspense, this is the best book so far. Loved it!

This was a really good read! Just with the prologue I was instantly transported into this world and sucked into the novel. I was right there with the characters and it was just awesome. This happens quite a bit with this authors work and each book (so far) hasn’t been a disappointment! This one had twist and turns and monsters and everything you could want out of a paranormal/fantasy crime book! I loved this installment and absolutely can’t wait to read the next one either!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dahlia Nite has been keeping her partner Alex Creed in the dark about who she really is and what she knows about all the strange cases that they have been catching. However, it starts to become impossible to keep all the secrets as parts and pieces of multiple species -not of earth- are found in Sentinel City. As she shares some, but not all, of what is really going on, the lies become harder, and she struggles to keep everyone safe. Can she continue on this path and keep everyone in the dark without any fall out? Or will she need to share it all to solve this latest case and keep everyone safe?

I am enjoying this series. I feel the author does an excellent job of conveying how Dahlia feels disconnected with her dragon side and more in tune with her human side, as well as her empathy for humans. Her relationships are fraught with secrets and when she realizes just how much her friends mean to her, she starts to share more of herself. She is a lost person looking for where she belongs and what her purpose is. This book starts to show how she is finally finding her place, gives a bigger glimpse as to what her purpose is, but doesn’t give it all away. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series!

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.

I love this series so much. Nite is such an awesome “person”. She tried her hardest to protect the innocent from the creatures of her world. She growing so much from book 1. She’s learning to Trust as her powers grow.
Each book surprises with the type of creatures that get introduced. Book 3 is filled with a few surprises, lots of action and emotions. The ending of this book surprised me a great deal I cannot wait until the next installment to see how it plays out. Creed is my favorite character. He’s tough on the outside but caring and emotional on the inside. Life events have made him hard but there’s still a soft spot in him.

This book is the third in a series and can be read as a stand alone. However, the characters really build as the series goes on, and it helps to read the other books to relate and care about the main character, Dahlia Nite. Dahlia is a strong female character who is so conflicted. She is trying hard to hide this other world from humans while maintaining a foot in both worlds. She wants to save the city from monsters, but all of the hiding and being in both worlds wears on Dahlia. A great story with the solid and relatable Dahlia!

First- the Unexplained Crimes Unit? LOVE that addition to the series and especially Det. Alex Creed. There’s so much going on in this series that I’m afraid saying much more would be spoiling the fun for others. All I’m gonna say is Dahlia continues to be a badass- as well as the rest of characters continue to be pretty badass themselves. It’s another mystery worthy of the Nite Fire series and I’m really excited about the next one!!

WOW, WOW, WOW. Absolutely love this series!
In the third installment of the Nite Fire, Dhalia Nite is facing new threats that have forced her to reconcile with her past and face old and new enemies. Along the way Dhalia uncovers secrets from her past that will leave a lasting impact on her, and the continuation of the series. The romance in this book picks up a new level in this book, at least for me anyway (hello chapter 33). Beyond the romance, we see Dhalia grow into her evolve and see just how powerful she may be. This is a fun and intriguing read that I highly recommend digging into!

This series just keeps getting better and better. I really love watching Dahlia Nite grow into a fine person, if being half dragon counts as being a person. The author has put together a very dynamic world and I feel privileged to being a part of it. This story had a lot of twists and turns but Dahlia Nite once again overcame everything thrown at her. I loved her as a heroine and how badass she is as she does it. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves dragons and a strong heroine.

Wow! This is an awesome book 3 that starts right in the thick of things, and doesn’t let up the action for a moment. I was immediately drawn in again, and there is so much going on that it will keep you guessing. Dahlia is struggling to understand the crimes that are happening, but her usual senses that provide the clues aren’t helping. Something more sinister than ever is at play, and she needs to figure it out before it destroys her beloved city and the friends she has made there. Will she have to reveal herself to more people than just Evans? Will she be able to protect her friends and keep her identity hidden? I highly recommend this book, and the entire series for that matter, these are fantastic reading!

Book 3 of the series, this one lived up to my expectations. Full of twists, turns, and creatures that come out of your nightmares. Dahlia and her partner are doing their best to keep secrets just that, secrets. If society knew, there would be hell to pay. Well-written with a plot that flows like butter, you can go along with them as they chase banshee out causing issues. The characters are so defined that its hard to pick one favorite. I find each has a little bit that I love about them. This installment kept me on the edge of my seat just as the first two books did. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series. You should try the series out to. Highly recommend.

I read the first book in this series and was excited to read this further instalment. The characters were great and well-developed, and I enjoyed Dahlia’s dilemma of being stuck between two worlds. The supernatural elements were particularly enjoyable and the story has depth and complexity. The plot is suspenseful and there’s a lot happening as well as a lot of characters, which can sometimes make it difficult to keep up, but overall I couldn’t wait to finish the novel.
