Prepare to be sucked in by this gritty, dark, urban fantasy. Filled with mystery, danger, dragons, shifters and all manner of intriguing fantasy creatures, Nite Fire: Flash Point by C.L. Schneider is one helluva ride!
​
​
A well written, original urban fantasy that is a welcome addition to the genre and a fantastic start to a series. Bad-ass action scenes, great dialog and terrific character and world building.
Nite Fire: Flash Point
A stellar start to a killer series! Outstanding Fantasy Read! The subplots and hints at conspiracies give the story a rich texture. The cast of characters and their banter keep the story face-paced. The fight scenes are heart-pounding.

For a rollicking, unpretentious good adventure, The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider has few rivals... From the first page, Schneider keeps the action cranked high and there is no slowing down. The setting is an imaginary world that will excite readers, brilliantly painted in breathtaking prose and vivid descriptions.

This book is one of the most original fantasy novels that I have ever read... I loved this wild mix of sex, violence, and power and appreciated the far-fetched ways it related to today's society.

If I could give this book a ten star rating it would be getting one. It is a throughly entertaining and immersive reading experience. The characters will stay with me forever. I laughed, cried and worried right alongside Ian on his journey into hell and back. I highly recommend this book to any and all fantasy fans. It's right in the top ten with my favourite books!

The characters are beautifully flawed and fully realized. The conversations are fluid and move the story along. The action is fast paced and well described. The magical system is understandable and interesting. The world is well constructed and rich with the unexplored vistas of ancient history that you desire in a first class fantasy novel.

The characters are fantastically written with each having their own motivations and hidden agendas. I struggled to second guess the actions of the main characters and was left surprised on several occasions. The adventure they embark upon feels epic but also quite personal. The climactic finale was satisfying and left me eager for more.

A whole level above most other indie books, this truly is the cream of the crop.... The depth and darkness of the plot was what gripped me,...but what really stole my heart was the characters. The writing is dark and mature, violent and sexy, without over-stepping the mark.
