I can’t believe this series is coming to an end and what an ending it was! I’ve grown to love Dahlia over this series and I really felt like I was right there with her in this story as she battled to save what remains of her new reality. Again the author wove a really exciting and engaging story that captured my attention from the very beginning and held it until the ending. I felt like Dahlia actually discovered a lot about herself in this. Although I am sad that this series is over I am definitely looking forward to seeing what comes next from them in the future.
Fiery action and finale The fifth and final book in a brilliant series. I have loved and engrossed with every single page of this book and the whole series. The characters, world building and storyline have been superb. With suspense, shifters, action and even an apocalypse this book had it all. Totally recommend but you must start from book 1.
Action, suspense and shifters Another fantastic instalment in the Nite Fire series. This is book 4 and the brilliance continues. Dahlia Nite, 1/2 dragon shifter has so much more on her plate as she navigates the ‘things that go bump’ in the night and desperately tries to stop the blight. The author brings so much more to the story as twists and turns has the reader making links across previous books. This series must be read from book 1 to really connect the dots. Now onto book 5, Exit Strategy.
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.

Exit Strategy is the fifth and final book in the Nite Fire series by C. L. Schneider. This has been a superb series to follow, and I have enjoyed it immensely. So, having said that, I was a little conflicted reading this final book- because on one hand I desperately wanted to know how everything played out in the end, but also not really wanting to say ‘goodbye’ to the series either….. If you have yet to read the other books in the series, I highly recommend that you do as the storyline follows on from the previous books and you really need to know what happens previously to fully appreciate this instalment. There is a lot of important information, character introductions and details, and relevant backstory contained in the previous four books, so do yourself a favour and read them before starting ‘Exit Strategy’- you’ll be glad you did… Dahlia Nite is the kick-a** dragon shifter vigilante we have been following on this adventure since the beginning. And if you have been following the series, then you know that a LOT has happened since we met her back in book one. She has strived to keep the streets safe, but with the veil between worlds fraying so quickly, the overwhelming hordes of monsters, the spreading blight, and the very fate of humanity all resting on her shoulders now means that Dahlia is being pushed beyond her limits. Her dragon will not sit back any longer- the apocalypse be damned!! Let the games begin!!!! Again, this is a fantastic action-packed urban fantasy that had me hanging on every word- and again, C.L Schneider didn’t disappoint, delivering a stellar ending to her fantastic series. Highly recommended for fans of epic urban fantasy- especially if you like plenty of action and adventure! Happy Reading!

Schneider – Review by by C.L. Schneider – Review by Angela Hayes
After the world Dahlia lived in came crashing in around her, things in the Sentinel have changed drastically. With the threat of not only the apocalypse looming over her, a large portion of her team missing, the issue with the exits and blight, and the constant changes in the city she loves, Dahlia’s focus is split into too many directions. She must fight to save the innocents in the city and find a way to fix the apocalypse – if she can. I’ve been following this series for what feels like forever, and only yesterday. From day one when we were introduced to the heroine and brought into the incredible life she leads as a supernatural vigilante until now. It’s been a marvelous adventure, full of terror, mystery, hilarious moments, and true emotion. There’s nothing worse than an unsatisfying ending to an amazing story, in my opinion, and Exit Strategy was the perfect final book to end the series on. If you’ve been following this series, you need to read this last book!
Having only picked this book up as a standalone, it took a bit to get into and understand the worlds and creatures, but the author did a fabulous job describing everything for readers who haven’t already gotten into the series.
This book was an epic journey through worlds with creatures who struggle to survive an impending apocalypse. Dahlia and her crew catch up as they fight off invaders on Earth, try to piece together the puzzle of how to save all worlds from collapse, and face numerous battles with those who stand in the way. When Oren starts the apocalypse and then paints himself as earth’s savior while simultaneously working to alter or kill off creatures and humans for his own plans of survival, Dahlia and her team face seemingly impossible odds to stop him and repair the damaged veil that keeps all worlds separated. To make matters worse, she still has to figure out how to actually repair the veil and stop the blight that continues to feed on all of the destruction and violence.
This was a wonderful, original story with great characters and excellent world building.
I have enjoyed this series, meeting the characters and the world building has been phenomenal. This one though frustrated me more than once. The excess in descriptive words irritated me. Sure there was a lot of action but also a lot of thinking, pondering and descriptive words. Every little thing described in detail is too much making the book overlong. I did get bored and started skipping to dialogue and felt I could still follow the story. I did make it to the last page and was thrilled I finished. The last chapter is written in what I am used to from previous stories and it made me smile fondly. Then that epilogue?? That made everything better. I loved it! What a perfect way to round out the story.
Overall the story picks up speed as it moves along. It is a must read if you have read the rest of the series. This is a nice ending rounding out the series. I will miss Dahlia, Evans and Creed and all their adventures.
Dahlia’s back and she is bringing it all to stop the veil between the mortal world and the supernatural world from disintegrating. This is book five and while you could read these separately I think you miss a little bit when you do not read them in order. The characters in this whole series are amazingly detailed, relatable and intriguing. I have had so much fun with this series and I am sad to see it ending. I hope maybe Dahlia will show up again one day in another of this authors novels!! Thanks for a wild ride I will never forget!
Nite Fire: Slash & Burn by C.L. Schneider reviewed by Lauren Cox
This book was so different from the last three books, and I could argue it is one of my favorites so far. Dahlia has grown so much since we first met her three books ago, all of the challenges she has faced, the people she has saved and the dragon queen she has continually outran. This book has heartache, lack of trust, broken relationships and more monsters than can take over the city. After they discover a sink hole, missing pets and more blight, can they come up with a solution before the blight become uncontrollable and destroy everything in their path? Her former partner Alex has come to her for help after not speaking, the deaths could only have been from more monsters. Can he trust Dahlia again? Can they work together and find the solution?
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.

This was a great read! I absolutely loved this finale for this series. I felt like it was the perfect end to an amazing series. Like always, it was extremely well written and grabbed me from the first few pages. I’m so glad I decided to go on this journey with Dahlia and all the other amazing characters that were introduced. And while I am sad to see it end, I felt like this book did the series a great justice. So thanks to the author for writing a beautiful series and for letting us all enjoy it!
Nite Fire: Chain Reaction by C.L. Schneider reviewed by Lauren Cox
Dahlia Nite and Detective Creed are back, and I could not be more impressed with the second installment of this series. Just like in the last book more and more people are turning up dead in Sentinel City and Dahlia is trying to figure out why? Not only is Dahlia and Creed following leads on the mysterious deaths going on it town, they now have to worry about this new drug that just hit the street. Whoever is behind this new drug is using this town as a guinea pig with no care to the growing bodies piling up. It doesn’t cause the highs and the lows of most street drugs, Chrysalis is causing behavioral, and physical changes to the human body. Dahlia is fierce, strong and persistent and will not back down to a fight.
This book had so much action, twist and turns and I absolutely love a good murder mystery, this series has easily grown to be one of my favorites and I cannot wait to see what book three has in store for us.
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!

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy by C.L. Schneider reviewed by Lauren Cox
Here it is! The moment we have all been waiting for, but also have been dreading because we all know this story is coming to an end. C.L. Schneider has done such an amazing job on this series and I cannot wait to read more from this author. The apocalypse has finally come and this action packed book begins! Dahlia has so many things going wrong, old enemies are returning, she has missing team members all while she is trying to save the world. Her dragon and her powers continue to grow, but even still is seems like she is fighting a losing battle. Although there is some losses in this book, there is also some wins. This is a very fast paced book that doesn’t let up until the end.
Exit Strategy is the fifth book in the Nite Fire series. If you haven’t read the others, you definitely should before you read this one! They’re fantastic, and you will enjoy Exit Strategy a lot more if you’ve gotten to know and love the characters over the course of the previous books. Dahlia Nite has been trained to focus on the immediate situation, and saving the people she can in the moment. But when the immediate situation is an apocalypse, she needs to work on the bigger picture and figure out how to save humanity. As well as protecting those around her the best she can. And dealing with the metamorphosis she is currently going through. So it would be an understatement to say she’s got a lot on her plate. At this stage in the apocalypse, pretty much everyone is well aware of the existence of a myriad of paranormal creatures. I really like the moments where Nite sees that people care a lot more about what she does than who she is. There’s a lot of great character stuff in amongst the action-packed fight scenes and intriguing detective work. This book gets five stars from me! I’ve loved this series – I’m sad that it’s come to an end, but looking forward to reading more by this excellent author!
Wow, wow, wow! What an exciting finale to an amazing series! This is an action packed, fast paced book that doesn’t let up until the end. Dahlia is a strong, no- nonsense character that has grown and evolved throughout this series. As strong as she is, she had her hands full in this book. Between dealing with the apocalypse, her inner dragon and her growing powers, I’m surprised that she didn’t go crazy. In a race against time, Dahlia seems to be fighting a losing battle. Although there are losses in this book, Dahlia gains many things as well. The author introduced some interesting characters which added some comedic relief amidst all the drama. This was such an interesting series that I’m sad to see it end. I highly recommend reading it!
Once again, another amazing book to this series, I could not put it down. Filled with action, carnage, explosions, ass-kicking, and all-around women empowerment. I absolutely love love the main character Dahlia Nite. I think if I could be a supernatural or paranormal character, I would so want to be Dahlia. Once again, another book that I just couldn’t put down, I wanted to know what was next. I’m really sad that the story is over, and this is the last book but I can always go back and read it again, which will be something on my list to do. Highly recommend this book if you love fast paced kick-ass action and a strong female role.
I have to say that I have read all this series so far and boy I am hooked. I love how the author brings the characters to life and I love how the books flow one after the other. This whole series is one of my favorites so far.
I like how the story is balanced with just enough drama. I love how the characters have depth. My favorite part was the ending. I really like how there was just the slightest underlying romance and that was an added bonus. I hope in future to read more from this author.

Schneider – Review by Caralee Loonat
What an amazing continuation on the Nite Fire series! The authors world building draws you in as if you are there experiencing it along with the characters. Just like the previous books, I love the main character Dahlia’s strong will and sass. With plenty of action, drama and suspense, it’s a must read for Fantasy lovers.
Just wow! A wonderful last book to this unforgettable series. I’ve never read anything else like it. Paranormal but with an original plot and fantastic world building. She doesn’t belong to our world, but kicks butt saving it. Looking forward to more series from this author!
The perfect ending to the perfect fantasy series! I was absolutely glued to this book, the author had me on the edge of my seat with anticipation. The main character Dahlia is strong willed, sassy and bold. Do yourself a favour and pick up this series!
Nite Fire: Exit Strategy is the fifth and final book in this series. This is a Paranormal/Urban Fantasy that I truly enjoyed reading. I’m a huge fan of this author and her style of writing , attention to detail along with amazing characters make for awesome stories. I’m a little bummed that this is the last book in this series, but I’m excited to see what this author brings us next. I highly recommend reading this series in order if you haven’t already started as each book builds off the last one. This series is definitely going on my list of re-reads. I will say this plan on reading this in one sitting because once you start you won’t want to stop till the end. Dahlia’s back and in a race against time while fighting to hold back the dragon within that’s been dying to come out. So I highly recommend reading this fast paced story to find out what happens next. As always I look forward to reading more from this Author .
Dahlia always finds trouble, or it finds her. It doesn’t really matter because there it is. Dahlia is fighting the apocalypse. We have dragons and other mysterious creatures coming out of the shadows. Dahlia’s kicking ass while trying to save humanity. I have read this series from the beginning and also listened to it on audiobook. Audiobook has made it come to life. Dahlia is a sassy, saucy character that you can feel when you listen to the audio. The narrator knows just how to read the story. It was full of life, action and excitement, with a dash of romance. What a terrific series that I’ll miss. I think everyone should listen to this series.

Schneider – Review by Shelly Kittell
Oh my bleeping goodness, what an amazing conclusion to this kickass series!! As always, Dahlia finds herself rushing to save the good guys with the help of her ragtag team. This story is so action-packed it will absolutely keep you glued to the pages and reading all night! More challenges face our heroine as she fights to keep her own dragon in check while defending her city from the ever-growing Blight & the ancient dragon queen we all love to hate! I hate to see this series end but what an explosive, fantastic way to do it!! This author is OFFICIALLY in my top 5!!
The Epic Conclusion to a Fantastic Series! Nite Fire: Exit Strategy is not my favorite book in the series but I still loved it. A series that was definitely different to say the least. I was skeptical about starting this series, but I don’t regret it. Now I’m sad I’m on the 5th and final book. I guess it’s time to start all over again! To get reinvigorated all over again, maybe even coming across something I missed before. Oren has started to wreak havoc on all worlds. Dahlia and her few friends battle officially with him. Will they succeed? Oren seems to easily over power them. Our heroine has also come full circle from book 1. The 1st rip I’m the veil she repaired, was the one from the Chandler house. Now just a million more to go… lol Naalish has taken Alex Creed prisoner. Dahlia has to save him. Will she succeed? So many questions with plenty of answers but you need to read to find out! You need to read all 5 books. It’s definitely worth the time! Now that they sadly ended, it’s time to start over. What do you say will you join this journey over again with me?
Our favorite author is back with a new installment and it’s absolutely perfect! Once again we are provided a story and plot with amazing characters, drama, action, and so much more that you won’t want to put it down. While this is the last installment in this series I will personally be looking for more from this author. The story flows smoothly, the characters all have their own uniqueness, and the story just has so much originality that I simply couldn’t put it down. So if your looking for a great new series or even just a new book make sure and pick this one up today.
Dahlia is trying to keep the apocalypse from happening. Amidst betrayals, loss and things unforeseen, she is trying to stem the tide of the Blight as it overtakes different worlds through the exits. She is slowly losing the battle as she tries to find the answers as to how to fix it all. Will she be able to find the answers in time? Can she save her friends that have become her family in time?
This is the last book in this series. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. Yes, it has dragon shifters, and she is a red head, but that is just one reason why I liked it. The story describes a woman who struggles with opening herself up to other because she was raised not to. She fights against it and what she finds is infinitely more than she could have thought possible. Her friends see her in ways that she can’t, and they support her, and encourage her. I enjoyed each of her friends and how they challenged her to change and to love.
Sad to say good-bye to Dahlia Nite, but happy to have read her story.
This was the last book of the Nite Fire series and it was AMAZING! I loved the whole series but this one was by far my favorite.
The book starts with Dahlia fighting supernatural creatures in the sentinel. The start of the end is here. Everything that Dahlia is fighting to avoid finally came. She had run out of time. Now Dahlia is on damage control. With half of her team missing, she is trying to protect the humans while still trying to figure out how to close the exits.
Oren has made things much more difficult for everyone by destroying the police force and bringing his own force into the mix. Dahlia, Casey and the balaur have a lot to do with very little time left to do.
I highly suggest you read this series! The author is now one of my favorites. Everything I have read by them has captured my interest from start to finish.

This is an incredible series and easily one of my favourites. Right from the moment I started reading Book one I knew I was in for such a ride. I love Dahlia. She is such an amazing character – strong and fiesta and complex and interesting. The supporting characters are all brilliant as well – it became so I couldn’t wait to read more about them as well. These books are fast paced and exciting. I love the way the stories are all unique but interconnecting. This book was such a great ending to the series, even if I’m not quite ready for it to be over yet. This author has firmly become one of my favourites and I cannot wait to see what she produces next.
