Amazing everything

Why should we read or listen to this story? IT IS amazing. Might be the best I have listened to yet. It is well written, so perfect world builing, the caracters seem to be pretty bulletproof and the plot is out of this world (both figuratively and literally). The ideas ... Is this a tv series yet? Only thing, the narrator might not be the whole 5 stars, but pretty good. Some of the sceenes in the book are so spellbinding you won't mind though.

A must listen!!!!

Nite Fire: Chain Reaction by C.L. Schneider
4 Stars!!!!

How do you make a book even better? Simple you create the audio version. I love being able to be able to listen to my favorite books and keep up with my tasks. This is a action packed story and kept my attention. The characters seem to jump right out of the phone and right into my vivid imagination.


I have also read this author so this is a good way to continue my enjoyment of her books. I love this series as it is a nice balance of supernatural and intrigue. I really like how the author brings her book to a new life with a great narrator. I will definitely be getting more.

A fantastic book

Nite Fire: Chain Reaction by C.L. Schneider is the second book in the series and a brilliant follow up to book 1. It took no time at all to fall completely back in with these characters. The relationships that had been built in book one have easily continued on into this book.
I was so glad to find it is the same person narration the story too. The enthusiasm and excitement that she evokes with her narration is just amazing. I definitely think I enjoyed it even more thanks to that. I love the mix of supernatural and natural in this series, it has been done in such a believable way. This is a brilliant series and I cannot wait for the next book.

Dragons and Drugs

Human-Dragons, a horrifying enhancement drug, a smooth talking enemy, a new supernatural power and fire, plenty of fire. What more could you ask for?

I am loving this series; the story, the worlds, the characters are all amazing. Not to mention the narrator is perfect for the story and if this is ever brought to screen (and it should be), I won't accept anyone else's voice as Dahlia Nite.

Great sequel!

Note: This is Book 2 in the series and can work as a stand alone but is much better if read after Book 1.

What a fun urban fantasy! I quite enjoyed Book 1 and continued to enjoy the series with Book 2. Dahlia Nite is a wonderfully layered character, sometimes serious, sometimes snarky, sometimes tender, sometimes murderous. I’d enjoy hanging out with her in real life.

For this story, Dahlia is hunting elusive prey. At first, it’s really not clear what is going on but spontaneously combusting humans is just not normal. Plus it’s messy and attacks the wrong kind of attention. Dahlia, being a cleaner of sorts, needs to figure this out quick before some human authorities catch wind of the supernatural elements to these deaths.

I really like her sidekick Casey Evans. He’s supportive and funny and kind of like her little brother. Plus he’s a cop and isn’t a newbie to weapons and violence. Though this particular case will test his limits and loyalty. How much are you willing to cover up even if it means keeping many humans safe?

Then there’s Alex Creed. I really like this character because he’s a little broken yet doesn’t wallow in it. In fact, he just accepts it, shrugs, and carries on. I can see how the events of this story will put him and Dahlia at odds later. I really want things to work out well for both of them, but I fear the series might not allow that (and then just intrigues me to read on).

Having a perfect mix of action, reflection, flirtation, weapons, boot stomping, arson, and catching bad guys, this is a worthy addition to the urban fantasy genre. 5/5 stars.

The Narration: Cassandra King is a delight to listen to. I feel she channels Dahlia while narrating this book. I also love her voice for Alex Creed, being a bit gravelly and suspicious of the goodness in those around him. Sometimes, I felt the male character voices could use a bit more masculinity. Like sidekick Evans sometimes sounds more like his sister Marnie. Then there’s this rich bloke Bastian Rand with the educated snotty accent and sometimes he sounds like a man and sometimes he sounds like an older woman. However, over all the performance was really good. All the characters had distinct voices and the ladies were all well performed. The pacing was perfect and there were no technical issues with the recording. 4.5/5 stars.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by C.L. Schneider. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

You have got to love the sidekicks

Oh wow, I loved this book. It continues from where book one left off, so I would highly recommend that if you haven't read or listened that you start with book one, you won't be disappointed as it is just as good. Where to start .....it is hard to put this book in a category other an excellent roller coaster ride. It starts are a police procedural as remain character is called in as police consultant to help on some unexplained deaths but it quickly jumps in the super natural as the deaths are anything but natural. I think is why I am hooked on the series and so glad that I discovered this author because the two genres are combined so seamlessly into one action packed explosion adventure full of dragons and myths. The other reason I love it is because of the characters I have quickly become attached to them over the course of two books, especially with her sidekick who adds humour and snark to both characters but I do wish that the author didn't write them into such dire situations that I want to skip to the end or check out the blurb on the next book to see if they make it. Off to see what is in store for them next.
Dahlia Nite a Dragon shifter that has assigned herself the job of protecting humans from creatures that come from other worlds is once again teamed up with Detective Alex Creed when people in a nightclub and on the streets start mutating before they combust leaving no trace of what happened. The only clue is the word crystalist half whispered before another victim is burn beyond a crisp. Is it a new drug? But where did it come from? Who made it and more importantly how can they stop it? Because when a friend of Dahlia's starts to show signs of going through the transformation it gets very person and time is running out for everyone.
I really like the narrator. She has to do a wide range of voices for this book and even some accents but with her narrating the hours just flew by.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
