Nite Fire: Smoke & Mirrors by C. L. Schneider – Review by Jamie Zabolotney

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

I have really enjoyed this entire series and this latest installment fits right in perfectly. Once again Dahlia Nite is the perfect heroine for this series. She brings the perfect amount of badass mixed with caring and her love of her human side creates a great story line.

Dahlia has been helping hide the evidence of her half dragon shifter brethren, which is becoming increasingly difficult with all of the strange deaths surfacing. At the same time her relationships are growing despite advice to stay away from human interaction.

This book had so much action, I flew right through it. I recommend this to anyone who has already read the first two books.

My favorite half dragon shifter is back! I was not disappointed when I started in on this third book. One I got it I didn’t sleep until I had finished it! Twists and tuns and cliffhangers oh my! This fast paced paranormal thriller kept me on the edge of my seat. I was right there with Dahlia trying to solve the mysteries that kept happening in Sentinel City! I was rooting for the entire time. The writing is well done and the story leaves you wanting more. I’m excited to see what happens to Dahlia in the final book although I’m sad to see it ending soon. Thank you author for such a wonderful series!

The series continues on just as great as the first 2 books! Fantasy, paranormal, drama, action, some romance and a bit of suspense. I love the main character Dahlia who is strong willed, sassy and entertaining. Id recommend any paranormal lover to go out and buy this series!

Smoke & Mirrors (Nite Fire #3)Smoke & Mirrors by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book has fantasy as well as paranormal. Its the best of both worlds.

She is aware that monsters exist since she is one herself. But how much longer can she keep the truth hidden? First, a dragon’s best buddy is a secret. Deception comes in second. Both offer protective armor, allowing Dahlia Nite, a half-dragon shapeshifter, to dwell among humans unnoticed. She covers herself in a cloak of falsehoods to hide in plain sight as she walks between two worlds belonging to neither. But nothing is ever indeed concealed. When different species’ severed remains are left on the riverside, Dahlia and Detective Alex Creed are tasked with solving the crime. With the help of Sentinel City’s new task force, the two are pushed on by hints that appear too good to be true.

They bounce from one crime site to the next, looking for a clear motivation among a tangle of contradictory evidence. Finally, the city begins to crumble, already on edge following a succession of mysterious crimes. Dahlia burns the candle at both ends, drowning in lost creatures, slain corpses, masked men—and the quest for her sidekick’s missing sister. She uses her empathic skills to find answers, and she discovers something eviler and more profound than a typical serial killer’s web. She tries to keep her pals from learning the truth as the dots connect and worlds clash. Secrets, on the other hand, maybe lethal. Dahlia isn’t the only one who collects them.

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

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

I love this series with a passion! I can not get enough of this book series, Dahlia is a wonderful heroine and I really admire her for all she is. This book I really enjoyed in the series thus far for how the development as well as the darkness hidden in Dahlia was. It was gripping and deep down that rabbit hole!

Dahlia once again has something to unravel, and knowing her, you know for a fact she has a plan in some form up her sleeve. I loved her interactions with Alex. They really made a great duo and love what they have between them, if its friends or more, depending how you look into it. I love how every book Dahlia has danger to over come, but for me this one was different than the rest. This specific installment I found we got a more deeper sense of who Dahlia was and all she keeps hidden, her demons mean. If her secrets was found out what would that mean for her, and her place she has learned to call home?

As said this book series is amazing, and it really gets better and better and deeper with each book I read about Dahlia. The danger and the shapeshifter essence of the book really drives my soul deeper into the plot. I can never get enough, I always want more answers. I find Dahlia awakens that part of me. No matter the danger or if a sacrifice or some part of her to say, she will not rest to she achieved what she has sent herself out to do. The story is gripping and this book ,currently is my favorite so far in the series!

If you have not read this book or this series yet I highly recommend you do so! I love this series and this author with a passion. I love how each book in this series builds up more and more, and your interest never dies down. Highly recommend the book, series, and author. A must read for sure!

This book kept me on the edge of my seat!! Action, adventure, tragedy, and mystery. Our heroes fight a new evil as they struggle to save the lives of the innocent. Dahlia finds new allies, new powers, and new adventures as she and her team fight the evil in The Sentinel and beyond. We FINALLY hear Nadine’s story and Dahlia confronts her largest foe! The ending though! Cliff. Hanger.

Secrets are a dragon’s best friend. Deception is a close second. Both provide a sturdy armor, allowing half-dragon shapeshifter, Dahlia Nite, to live undetected among the humans. Walking in two worlds, belonging in neither, she wraps herself in a shroud of lies to hide in plain sight. But nothing stays hidden forever.


When dismembered bodies of multiple species are dumped on the riverbank, the case falls to Dahlia and Detective Alex Creed. Backed by Sentinel City’s new task force, the pair find themselves urged along by clues that seem too good to be true. Bouncing from one crime scene to the next, they hunt for a clear motive in a murky sea of conflicting evidence. Already on edge from the recent string of unexplained crimes, the city begins to unravel.
Drowning in missing creatures, slaughtered remains, masked men—and the search for her sidekick’s missing sister—Dahlia burns the candle at both ends. Seeking answers, she employs her empathic abilities, and uncovers something deeper and more sinister than a simple serial killer’s web. As the dots connect, and worlds collide, she struggles to shields her friends from the truth. But secrets can be deadly. And Dahlia’s not the only one who keeps them.
Smoke & Mirrors in the third book in the Nite Fire Series.

Smoke & Mirrors (Nite Fire Book 3) by C. L. Schneider – Review by Victoria Mashburn

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

Whether we are human or shapeshifter, secrets can be our best friend, or our worst enemy. For Dahlia, it seems as though she straddles the thin line between those distinctions, and that fact is the most prominent in this book as she tackles yet another wave of unspeakable crimes against the very species that she lives to protect. It seems that, even with a partner, it may turn out to go far too deep for our favorite heroine to tackle. Can her empathy give her the answers that she needs? Who else is keeping secrets, and what are the consequences? Read to find out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

C. L. Schneider treats us to another installment in her fantastic urban fantasy series. I am a big fan of her writing style, and the complexity of her world building and characters. There is also a great balance between emotion and action. I highly recommend Nite Fire: Smoke & Mirrors, Book 3. My only warning is that this series should be read in order because the developments are chronological.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4 ½ Stars

Smoke & Mirrors is the third book in the Nite Fire Series by C. L Schneider. There is so much to love about this series- an urban fantasy with plenty of supernatural and paranormal elements, danger, shifters, action, adventure, mystery, suspense, drama, intrigue, fantastic characters, brilliant world building, and much more.
A lot has happened since we started the first book, so I really recommend reading the other two books first before starting on this one- as there is important backstory and character details to be discovered there, which will enhance your reading experience of this book.
This is a complex and multi-layered story, with so much going on, and as I have come to expect from Ms. Schneider, there is more to the story than first meets the eye. I was completely immersed in the story, devouring every word- and loving every exciting minute.
This is a fantastic third instalment, and a wonderful addition to the intriguing, unique, and very imaginative series. Ms. Schneider has proved, yet again, to be a quite the masterful storyteller and talented author.
I really recommend this book/series to anyone who loves a great paranormal story with supernatural elements, crime + investigation, action, and adventure.

Thank you, C.L. Schneider!
