Night Season is the fourth book in The World of the Lupi series, and as the rest of the series veering a bit more towards romance than most urban fantay series, without loosing its gritty edge. Despite the fact that there are more romance than chick-lit in it, this is in no way a paranormal romance, in fact it is much too good to compare to those.
Wilks really delivers, and her experience as an author is obvious.
Parts of Night Season builds heavily on the events in 'Inhuman', a novella published in On the prowl. I expect parts of the plot would make a lot less sense not having read this first.
This novel, even more so than the previous one in the series, focuses on the relationship between Cullen and Cynna, as they navigate another realm, trying to return home, having to trust and aid the people who abducted them and brought them in this situation in the first place. ( )

I hate reading series out of order, my feelings about this one are influenced by reading book five. Cynna and Cullen are more interesting in that one and in in book 3. And should a reviewer be considering the book as part of an ongoing work. The world building is great, lupi morality and social life are shaped by fertility and fertility is changeing, I am waiting eagerly for book 6. So the series is very good, this just isn't the best book in the series. ( )

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 instead of nonexistent. ( )

The first book in the Lupi series, Tempting Danger, was amazing! Lily Yu, a homicide detective with supernatural abilities,fell in love with the King of the Lupi, Rule Turner. I looked forward to Book 2 and was hugely disappointed. Well - I skipped Book 3 and tried this one - Book 4 Night Seasons. Yuck. Not my cup of tea anymore. More fantasy than paranormal. Creatures, demons, dragons - I was so turned off. The heroine had an confusing, unpronouncable name - Cynna - (China? Seenah? Sign-ah?), was covered in tattoos and had a punk attitude.
Needless to say I never made it past pg 50 and I plan to skip future Eileen Wilks' books. ( )
