Flash Point ( Nite Fire #1) by C.L. Schneider Rated 4 stars

Dahlia Nite is half human and half dragon. She is called a Lyrrken. She left her world after things went wrong and came to Sentinal City. She works undercover to protect the unsuspecting human race. From what? Others like her. They prey on the humans and she hunts them down. Now a murder has taken place with weird burn patterns. She is brought in as a fire investigator. They don't know what she is or what she can do other than help them. She uses her empathic abilities and her dragon senses to try to figure out who did these grisly murders.
Dahlia usually keeps to herself but has contact with at least two others like her. Oren has been working as her handler and Ronan who was her previous lover. There are a slew of other humans that she has contact with over the years. I actually enjoy her friendship with Officer Casey Evans. He seems to be a fun guy. I like the nickname he gave her and what he calls himself. Detective Creed is another story. He is not fond of anyone but I think he actually starts to like Dahlia instead of treating her with disdain. There are a few other interesting characters but they are mysterious and I don't want to ruin the surprise.

Nite Fire was very difficult to understand. It's a new world with new terms and sometimes it takes me a bit to catch with it all. At the beginning I got a little history of Dahlias life before as an Executioner within the Guild in the prologue. Then when her story started,in the now, there were times her empathy was in full force other times she was talking about some black sludge coming towards her and yet others when she was kicking butt. I think the black sludge was pain from a soul but I'm not sure. The story picked up once Casey Evans came on board. Detective Creed kept the story moving too. Even though he was gruff I think he was still a lovable character.

This story did not flow for me I think I got too caught up on what everything means that she was doing or had done. The story line was a good one and the whole new world was great. My favorite character was Officer Evans. I really enjoyed the times he was in the story. It made me want to keep reading to find out what was going to happen with him next. I was excited to read this because dragon shifters are so cool! I liked the color she is and how she can manipulate fire! I'm pretty sure more info would come to light in future books.
