Product Description:
Lupine sorcerer Cullen Seabourne and FBI Agent Cynna Weaver are just coming to terms with having a baby, when they are lured to another realm where magic is commonplace and night never ends. Their only way home lies in tracking down a missing medallion-one also sought by powerful beings who will do anything to claim it.

If you've read the very first three books of the series, particularly "Blood Lines" (book 3), then the major characters and world setting are comfortable and familiar. If not, I strongly suggest reading "Blood Lines" before starting "Night Season".
However, all readers should know that there's a short story "Buying Trouble" (in the collection "On The Prowl") that introduces two minor characters (Kai & Nathan) who play a pivotal role. If I hadn't read the short story first, I would have been perplexed by the short scenes centered on their actions. Having read it, I really wanted to see much more of Kai than we're given.
Nevertheless, the relationship between Cynna & Cullen, the quick pace of the action, and the growth in the characters of Gan and Steve Timms (as well as Cynna & CUllen) combine to make for an enjoyable read.

This book really deserves 3.5 stars. It was a bit slow for me. I do love Chynna and Cullen and that is the books only redeeming quality. If it wasn't for this couple, I probably wouldn't have finished the book. I love their relationship. I also like the idea of the "Edge" world.

Sometimes multiple book series start to get stale or the characters are taken off into unbelievable directions, but not here. The books continue to be strong, well paced and enjoyable. I have added Eileen Wilks to my list of authors on my MUST BUY! List.

Cullen Seabourne, lone wolf no more with friends and a clan, has found comfort and great sex in the arms of Cynna Weaver, Finder and a true skeptic at heart. But when Gnome representatives from Edge, a parallel world that's a 180 from Dis, pop out in a fountain in a DC mall, the real motives begin to unravel. And the goad to get Cynna to say yes without thinking is the revelation that her father, Daniel Weaver, didn't leave her and her drunken mother, but fell through into Edge.
What the Gnomes want is Cynna and Lilly to retrieve a powerful, and stolen, Medallion that controls the magical inertia in Edge. Without a proper holder, it's just chaos and war. And the gnomes believe only they can manage that power. Initially, the goal is to have Cynna Find and use Lilly's immunity to magic to take it, because, the Medallion is kind of alive and can eat its wearer, or turn them psychotic. But Lilly can't follow through because of the mate bond, which is still a secret. But the Edge reps have a trick under their sleeves as well, which backfires. Instead of just Lilly and Cynna and the Edge reps, it's Cynna, Cullen, Reuben, two gov't suites, Gan, Steve Timms and the reps from Edge fall through. And during a time of darkness, what the Edge people refer to as the Night Season.
Which was really a metaphor for Cynna's inability to 'see the light of truth' about her feelings for Cullen, being destined to be the subsequent Rhej, her dad not being so dead-beat, being pregnant and acknowledging it as a person and not out of a sense of religious obligation, and especially, about herself. Midway, we come to find that none of the earthlings can return home until the Medallion is found because it takes a lot of power to open a gate and the Gnomes refuse. And thus, a who can and can't handle the Medallion takes up a great deal of the plot, and also introduces the Faeries, who covet the Medallion. It's a lot of talking and explaining in general.
Juxtaposed and equally uneventful, were two new characters, a Sidhe by name of Nathan Hunter, some sort of Hellhound of the Winter Queen in Faerie land. And his lover, a Gifted human, Kai, who can't control her dangerous Gift. She also has a familiar, a type of feline, Dell, that rings similar to Pullman's daemens. Their role is not really explained and for the, thankfully, brief chapters of them, you're not sure what their purpose is, if at all, though in the end, they end up helping the Earth gang.
The purpose for the journey, the political or magical happenings are usually the backbone to all the other books, with the romance being secondary. Which is fine, to a point, but there are no thrills, a few eyebrow raising, and not always in a good way. The emotional arch of Cynna and Cullen is flat, sprinkled with some cliche dialogue, a few reveals about their past that's not developed very well, and the romance, all of it is not very believable, made more so by a strategically placed 'jealousy' scene that comes more forced than amusing or angsty. In the last chapter everything Cynna was rejecting, she finally accepts in a fairy-tale ending. What irks me is the whole issue with Cynna's dad, who is not at all utilized. His only purpose to be in the book is to get Cynna in the same room with the Gnomes. There are some very brief ponderings about how she felt about it then nothing. She gets over it PDQ. The character least forced and most endearing was Gan, but she alone can't carry a problematic plot with uninspiring characters.
In terms of it being part of a series, it doesn't fit in it at all. You could read this without knowing about the others since there is very little of the Lupi element in it [which I missed and expected more of but alas, no] and Wilks gives several recaps from each book. In fact, I might have liked this one better if I hadn't read the other three.
So. That's it. That's the story in a couple of brief paragraphs and you didn't miss much. And I am somewhat surprised by the good reviews. This new world, while creative and well planned, I had to convince myself to keep reading because Wilks delivered so well in Book 3. I had hopes that the end would make me realize it was worth the read. It's not, just the same old stuff.

This is an excellent series for lovers of paranormal romance and adventure. I particularly like the werewolf culture created in this series. However, I was unable to hook into this story until 2/3 of the way through the book. I think I was used to reading about Lily and Rule, whereas this book focused on Cynna and Cullen. I think I would have been more receptive if Lily and Rule had played a bigger role in this book. However, I appreciate the author's endeavor at diversity and look forward to the subsequent book in the series.
