I am a sucker for a good fantasy novel, and this first installment of the Nite Fire series definitely shows promise and establishes a great foundation of the heroine and her journey for all of the books that follow this one. I adored the idea of a shapeshifting assassin from another world, and I loved the fact that she has a soft spot for humans. Her life is never boring, by default, but that leaves her kept constantly on her toes. To see what I mean, crack the book open and experience the adventure for yourself! Also, be prepared to need to order the next installment immediately upon completion.

Story 5 out of 5 stars
Dahlia Nite was one badass with a heart of sorts. She had some standards and morals. She did what no one was expecting from her. She became the protector of the world she sot out refuge in. Dahlia was strong, determined, and well worth the listen. She was the light in the night or should I say nite. Well written, well narrated, well-rounded characters that had depth and dimension. The world was well captivated and visualized.
Right from the start. Some may feel like this moves too slow. Speed up the audio is my recommendation. Or you may just need to really pay attention. This world was rich and filling. You will find a protector with more than the skill to back her up. She was compassionate, determined, skilled, and driven. Where will things go next. I really, really want to know. So, yes I will be there when it comes out.
I liked this book even thou I read it out of order. LOL I now understand some of book 2 better. Still enjoyed it!! I received this book for free and voluntarily reviewed it.
I really enjoyed this story and loved the strong female lead. well written well performed! it was fun to get lost in this new world and I look forward to enjoying another book from this author. I don’t want to give too much away in spoilers but I really enjoyed the adventure and action in this book because the author painted such a vivid scene for me. all around well done loved it

Four Stars
Dahlia was a warrior a dragon that put fear into you with just her name. Until she is branded a traitor. Emotions are a foreign thing to Dahlia. The story was intriguing and violent. The thought of what could be other worlds next to us is kind of creepy. I liked that the author made her female lead so strong I just didn’t like how she kept pushing people away. There wasn’t very much character development but Dahlia did grow with every lose. I definitely liked the story for its details. The way the author described the dragons was scary and beautiful. It also was nice not to have so much focused on the main characters love life. Though I wish that the relationship with other characters was better developed. Also the reason for the deaths was just meh is wasn’t what I thought it would be.
5 Star
Wow what an awesome start to a new series! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked this book up but I enjoyed it and I am looking forward to reading more of the series. The authors writing style was great, I was sucked in from page one and I couldn’t put it down. The characters were well developed and I felt like I was in Dahlia’s shoes as everything was happening. It was action packed and full of twist and turns! It didn’t end in a cliffhanger but there are hints that leave you wanting to read more. Go get this book now, because I would recommend it reading it asap.
Happy Reading!!
Review by Anastasia D.
Nite Fire: Flash Point is the first book in C. L. Schneider’s new series. It is a four star novel. Even though paranormal fantasy is not a normal genre for me to read, I still found this novel moved me and made me continue reading to find out what was going to happen next. The author was able to real me in with her excellent storytelling and realistic fiction. Have you ever wondered if there were “others” living among us? I know I have. Dahlias able to blend in with the humans because she is half human and half dragon. Although she was raised by the dragons, she has since flew the coup and has hidden herself among the humans on earth. She finds it necessary to try to disguise the “others” existence by having the humans see something else and cover up their crimes enough that they look like they could have been committed by a human. Only problem is that now it might be getting to be too much for her and the people looking for her are getting closer to bringing her back home.
So very impressed! Anyone can tell you that fantasy is so not my genre to read, but I was intrigued and now I’m very impressed. Nite Fire: Flash Point is book 1 in the series by C. L. Schneider. This book follows Dahlia Nite who is a shifter that worked for Queen Naalish in the world of Dimera. Dahlia is half human and half dragon. Queen Naalish strips her of title of Executioner and sentences her to be executed herself. Obviously, Dahlia is a fighter so she flees to the human world. There she travels from place to place where she doesn’t stay very long. Essentially, she fights what is lurking in the shadows to stay alive. She ends up back in the town that she continues to return to because it was the one place that she truly loved. Now she is helping the police to solve a crime. This book was pretty amazing in the sense that the author sucks you in from the beginning and keeps you there the entire book! Not only is the storyline great but so is the way that the author describes things. She makes you feel like you are truly a part of the story. I do recommend this book and actually cannot wait to read the second book in the series. This book is about a strong woman heroine and her ability to continue to fight. You will not be disappointed.
Flash Point is Book 1 in the Nite Fire series.
Extremely descriptive starting from page one. It’s about Dehlia Nite whom is a lyrriken. Lyrrikens are Shapeshifters transforming between human and dragon.
Nite is an empath. She is a “traitor” in her own world and has lived in the human world for 97 years . She uses her ability to work at keeping the human world safe and seperate from the shape-shifters world. Often working with the police, she investigates
cases involving possible lyrriken, and gives the human world a plausible explanation for what happened while covering up what actually happened. At the same time as investigating the actual why. This book has a lot of gore and blood. There’s a bit of foul language. Some nudity and some laughs. Just when you think it can’t get any crazier, enter the twists! This book was great from beginning to end and I can’t wait to read the second! 5 stars
Flash Point was an interesting 5 star read and book one in the Nite Fire series. This is a different genre for me and C.L. Schneider pulled me right in with her writing. The detail is amazing.
We start with Dahlia fleeing her homeland of Drimera due to a death sentence handed down on her. We jump ahead 100 years. She is a half-human/dragon who is has been hiding within the human realm avoiding the sentence that was given to her. She has been protecting those that have helped keep her safe.
When mysterious murders start happening, Dahlia knows who is responsible but doesn’t understand why. Dahlia starts to work on trying to solve the cases.
Will she be able to stop the murders? What will happen if her friends learn her secret?
There is so much that goes on, we get action, danger, suspense, and so much more. The secondary characters were great, we get some very interesting ones for sure. I really liked Dahlia and her strength and dedication to those she calls friends. We don’t end on a cliff hanger but we do get some leads into the next book in the series. If you’re looking for a great this is a series for you. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Stars: 4
This story is from Dahlia Nite’s perspective. Dahlia feels so much and is trying to protect humanity. She is strong and still finding her way in this world. I really liked her as a character! I feel that C.L. Schneider gave us a lot of information in this first book in the Nite Fire. Although I really enjoyed this story, I did feel that parts of it dragged for me, but luckily would pick up after a few pages. After reading this book, I cannot wait to see the next adventure of Dahlia!

4 out of 5 Stars
This book is a huge match for its namesake. Flashpoint. This book moves at a fast pace and keeps you engaged as a reader. I loved this book from cover to cover. This is a supernatural shifter book and this author knows how to weave a very interesting story, with a lot of detail, a well developed plot and a ton of mysterious turns. Our main character, Dalia has found herself in an unknown place, away from her homeworld, and among humans. She left under extreme circumstances and there is no option to go back.
Lovers of Mystery, Supernatural, Shifter stories will love this story! I highly recommend this book!
With this being my fourth book from this author you would think I would know what to expect from her, but C.L Schneider has once again created an unique read that is captivating, vivid, magical and utterly brilliant. The mentally visual read is stunningly descriptive with brilliant world building and great characters. This author has created a flowing read that keeps you invested in the story, so much so you think you are living the life of our main character Daliha Nite.
This read is filled with suspense, mystery, fantasy and danger. To make it even more enjoyable is that it’s a Shifter read, one that is unique and different from other Shifter reads I have read. This book is also filled with twists and turns throughout, and keeps you guessing for most of the story!
This is an amazing fantasy read that exceeded my previous expectations of this author, and captivated me from the get go, this read shouldn’t be missed. I’ll eagerly be awaiting Book 2 Chain Reaction to see how much more this story progresses!

4 Stars
This is my first book by this author and it’s a genre I don’t normally read but the synopsis had me completely curious and I’m glad I took the chance. This was a great book and the storyline was unique and felt real enough that I almost could believe that Dahlia and her kind really do exist.
The beginning had me a bit confused but it didn’t take long to fall into a rhythm with the story. I started out not liking the character of Dahlia, the beginning made it very hard to find any sympathy for her. When she was forced to run away from her own world and found herself hiding in the human world I started looking at her differently and by the end of this first book she had grown on me.
While I am still not completely in love with this genre I found that the writing was simply amazing and it was a very smooth flowing and it was enough that I absolutely must read the next in the series.
Nite Fire: Flash Point is a paranormal fantasy by C. L. Schneider. I have not read this author before, so I was not sure of what to expect, but the reviews were fairly good. I don’t usually read this genre, having felt that I have read all there was to read from this topic. How wrong I was. I always marvel at how different each author is and the different stories and varied detail and character traits. These stories are always imaginative and creative. Nite Fire: Flash Point was no exception.
To the story. The story was dramatic, packed full of action, deception, danger, and lovin. The energetic storyline is highly addictive, and this author is one I thoroughly enjoyed and will definately be reading more in the future. 4 stars.
Nite Fire: Flash Point
By C.L. Schneider
I was very interested to see what journey C.L. Schneider would take me on with this book as I haven’t read anything by this author before, I was not disappointed, and I doubt that you will be either. If you enjoy books that have so much action piled into it then you need to do yourself a favor and get a copy. But be prepared for a long read. This book will take you on Dahlia’s journey, Basically Dahlia is a shapeshifter and has got herself into some trouble and is not hiding from people who want her harmed. Nite Fire Flash Point will also give you some mystery, magical encounters and monsters. I have to say the author has great writing skills and this book just seemed to flow. Some points in the book I was made to feel that I was almost part of the storyline. Can’t wait to see what happens in book two of the series.
Nite Fire: Flash Point is the first book in the two part book Nite Fire by C. L. Schneider. This book is a shifter book which means it has fantasy, mystery, magic, dragons, and of course shifters. This story took me on a wild roller coaster ride. There isn’t a dull moment in the story. The characters are developed and not only are the primary characters awesome in the story so are the secondary. I love how Schneider interwove the “human” world with in the story. Dahlia Nite is a shifter but she is also an assassin. There is an execution warrant out for her and that is how she ends up in the “human” world. It is there were she uses her specialty to help people. Will Dahlia be found? Will she be able to help those around her? Read this story to find out. You may want to have a good amount of time to read because you will want to finish the book in one sitting.
