Finder and FBI Agent Cynna Weaver is just starting to accept that she's pregnant, that she and the lupus Cullen Seaborne are going to have a child, when a delegation from the alternate realm of Edge show up in a fountain in a Washington D.C. mall. Offering trade with Earth for assistance in locating a medallion that controls the balance in Edge, the members of the delegation are cagey and secretive, and refuse to speak openly without a magical shield in place.

This book is mainly told from Cynna and Cullen's perspectives. Even though Cynna knows she is pregnant, she is still holding on to every shred of denial she can, including telling herself she can keep Cullen at an arms length. When she and Cullen get kidnapped into another realm called Edge, she must learn to trust him, for he seems to be the only one who cares at all if she lives or dies. She is forced on a search for a magical medallion that controls the seasons in Edge, but not everyone wants...more
Out of all of Eileen's Lupi books, this one is my least favorite and not just because it wasn't about Lily and Rule. In Night Season, Cullen, Cynna, Gan and several others have been thrown into what is called "the Edge" by a sort of unscrupulous Gremlin. Magic runs rampant in this new realm as well as many things that go bump in the night.

So far, this has been the best book in the series. This book primarily features Cynna and Cullen. Rule and Lily make bookend appearances in the story, though don't worry.
This book picks up about a month after the end events of Blood Lines as well as the events in the anthology On the Prowl. Kai and Nathan's story continues in this book and "Inhuman" is a nice lead in.

***SPOILERS FOR THE PREVIOUS BOOKS***
Boy, was I relieved to see the pacing improve in this book! The last one had me a little nervous about a new writing trend, but it was back to normal here. We didn't suffer from constant pov shifts, although there were some that didn't overwhelm the story.
I'm still not as interested in Cullen and Cynna as I was in Lily and Rule. The actual overreaching story arc still hooked me, but I didn't really work up much enth...more

Genre: Paranormal Romance
I bought this book to find out what happened to Kai and Nathan after the novella in _On the Prowl_. It was rather disappointing - Kai and Nathan appear in maybe 20 pages. They are the des ex machina of the plot but still, you barely see them and there is no relationship development between them.
Beyond that, the book was a disappointment. The setting is slightly different then most werewolf-paranormal romances: recently there's been a change and m...more

Each book that I read in the World of the Lupi series just gets better and better. Book 4 centered on Cynna Weaver and Cullen Seaborne and mostly takes place in the realm of Edge which has a Night Season that lasts several weeks, a Dawning that lasts a few days, and a Day Season that lasts several weeks in turn. Cynna, Cullen, and an assortment of others, including Gan and Steve Timms, are on a quest for a magical medallion that in the wrong hands drives the possessor mad and could disrupt the...more

Cynna and Cullen
So I didn't really care for this book. I like Cynna and Cullen but I like them as secondary characters to Lily and Rule. I can't say that I cared a single bit what their story is. I like having background info on them because it shapes how they are in the overall arc but as far as the future for them, meh.
I was annoyed by the wedding plot. If anyone should be getting married it should be Lily and Rule considering they are mate bonded and...more

Well, it turns out that I liked this one a lot more than I was expecting to. The only real negative was Cullen. Now granted, that's a big negative, given that he's the hero. He just doesn't interest me at all - I find him to be an unjustifiably arrogant, selfish, bossy know-it-all jerk.
Alright, so now that that's out of the way, let's talk about the good stuff.

Of all of the four books in the series so far, Night Season was my favorite. Wilks managed to enthrall me with the increasingly interesting growth of the characters we were introduced in earlier novels. This book provides more insight into Cullen and Cynna's characters. I found their conflicted relationship both humorous and endearing. Gan (former demon) has evolved from a self absorbed creature to one of commpassion and caring. With all of the rides on the emotional roller coaster you would ...more
I love it when a cover actually gets the characters described image correct, and actually goes with the book. That is really Cynna on the cover with her short bleached hair and tattoos, although she never actually wore the medallion they were hunting for. Some covers have absolutely nothing to do with the story inside.
I think I enjoyed Night Season the most of any of the Lupi series yet. I thought I would have a problem with the story shifting away from Lily and Rule to Cynna and C...more

Another enjoyable entry by Wilks. While I haven't loved Cynna, I do like her, and I'm coming to enjoy her more. I like her and Cullen. I like her view on their relationship, how she doesn't throw herself at him, doesn't exactly resist him, per se, but tries to be more realistic.
I would have preferred just a little bit of a different ending. I wanted them to get together at the end (and I won't say whether or not it happened), but I didn't like the qualification thrown in about the "...more

This is my favorite story of the series so far. I really enjoyed the story, the romance, and suspenseful moments. Cullen and Cynna are an interesting couple. He's a sorcerer lupi stripper. (The occupation does not play a role in the book.) She an FBI agent and gifted Finder. Gan, the demon introduced in Mortal Danger, is growing a soul and the feeling attached to it. Whereas I found this little demon annoying in previous books her moments in this installment were touching.

Eileen Wilks keeps delivering in this World of The Lupi series 4th installment. Our favorite characters are back and better than ever before.
You know those series, where you get tired of the main characters? Not the case here.
Introduced earlier in the series Cynna and Cullen are becoming even more believable and closer to each other -as we were all hoping. The reason why I love Wilks' characters so much is because they wake compassion in you. One goes through their inner conflicts w...more

I thought this piece of the series was interesting mainly because it was in a different place (The Edge) and also because it focused mostly on Cullen and Cynna and their relationship. It was funny to see how they are both so hard headed that they couldn't admit their feelings for each other...Cynna had to tell Cullen how he felt and vice versa.
Only negative was the story of Kai and Nathan that was interwoven into the book. Although interesting, I didn't really see what the point was ...more

Paranormal romance with much better than average world-building; I loved the demon turned gnome. Sadly, the romance is the weakest part of the story; the emotional connection between the brash, insecure, working-class-girl-trying-to-make-good Cyna and the smooth, suave werewolf felt much more described than developed.
It was the first of Wilks' books I read, and I liked it better before I read the earlier books in the series, when I assumed that the missing relationship development was earlier ...more

I liked Cynna in previous books, but I wasn't sure she could hold up a whole book by herself. I was pleasently suprised to see how well her story turned out. I now like Cynna's charector more than Lily's.
I read most of it in one day, it was great. Another thing that suprised me, was that I still don't enjoy Cullen. I find him to be annoying, and when parts of this book had only Cullen and no Cynna, I skipped a few paragraphs to make it go faster.

Night Season is the fourth release of the World of the Lupi series by Eileen Wilks. This time around the story centers, mostly, on Lupine sorcerer Cullen Seabourne and FBI Agent Cynna Weaver. Weaver works for the Magical Crimes Division of the FBI and is also a Finder (a person who is able to find things and people that are missing). She still refuses to come to terms with the fact that she’s having a baby with Cullen. She goes through a period of self-doubt until finally she gets a positive ind...more
This fourth book in Eileen Wilks's imaginative werewolves and magic-wielding FBI agents series focuses not on the protagonists of the first three books, Lily Yu and Rule Turner, but on two characters who have been supporting players in the past: magician Cynna Weaver and sorcerer-lupus Cullen Seabourne. I've had a soft spot for Cullen ever since he appeared in the novelette, "Only Human," a prequel to Tempting Danger, the first novel in this series. (The story can be found in the an...more
This has been my favorite of Wilks' Lupi series. I am not sure if it is because I am getting used to visiting other realms in fantasy fiction, or because I feel she wrote it better. A previous book in this series travelled to Dis, analogous to Hell, but it was so foreign and weird that I had trouble understanding the whole point. In this installment, we travel to Edge, a high-magic realm that is colonized by many species -- namely gnomes, elves, and a warrior race called Ahk -- all creatures w...more
Okay - so my one complaint for most of the World of Lupi books is that so much is going on at once that you have to have no distractions while reading. Night Season, however, is not like that. It's still packed with action and romance but it doesn't jump from one realm to another, constantly adding new characters that are more than just "fillers". The book focuses on Cynna and Cullen. It's such a great story of how they find their love for one another as they help each other throu...more

I was skeptical at first, because the book wasn't centered around Rule and Lily. I did like Cullen and Cynna as additional characters, but a whole book about them in a different world - wasn't really sure. But I did like it more than I expected, mostly because of how Cynna and Cullen grew together and their interactions. Wasn't that fond of the world they were pulled in, but at least I liked this one better than the one in the second book.
One of the best yet. Night Season is Cullen & Cynna's story, about their past, present and future. The baby is coming and Cynna doesn't want to believe that. Another world is introduced adding to the supernaturals already seen in the previous books. Gan is really growing on me, and Timms is a lot more interesting than before. This series is a definate must read.
Important Note - On The Prowl LIED! This is not the first book of this series. While I still enjoyed it, it turns out there are several books that occur before this novel, just without the two characters introduced in the OtP novella (I think, anyway).
Nice story, a good mix of characters. This series is definitely worth further investigation.

This series is interesting because it flips back and forth from being a cop/mystery/crime drama to being a series of epic fantasy quests. I prefer her take on the former, and this book was the latter. Still, I liked it better than book 2 (which maybe should have been three stars....)
Cynna and Cullen freshen up the series by taking a new direction to the Edge. The Edge is a place between, and filled with magic and danger. New creatures dark, ugly and grotsque fill the story with excitement.
Gan The demon not demon, travels there with them, where she meets her destiny. She has decent amount of time in the story and I found her adorable

It was great and I thoroughly enjoyed it. But one of the main negatives for me was the absence of Rule and Lily as well as Kai and Nathan. Especially the latter since I really expected them to play a more major role in the plot.
I was hoping for a bit more of a continuation of Kai and Nathan's story than I got. Instead, I met Cynna and Cullen and while they're nice folks and all, the lack of Kai and Nathan rather limited my enjoyment of the story.
I love love love Cullen and Cynna's storyline! This one was really great, although it had a bunch of chapters not dedicated to either one of them. I'm still loving their sarcastic chatter and personalities! I'm so glad that it ended all happy and good -- now to get started on the next one!
