Product Description:
Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin is on vacation when her Djinn lover, David, asks Joanne to marry him. She’s thrilled to say yes, even if some others may be less than happy about it.
Unfortunately, Joanne’s pre-marital bliss is ended by a devastating earthquake in Florida. And she can’t ask David and his kind for assistance. Because the cause of the quake is unlike anything Joanne has ever encountered—and a power even the Djinn cannot perceive.

I love the Weather Warden series and have been anticipating this book since I finished the last one. I thought it was going to pick up where the last book left off, with Jo stumbling through the woods, amnesia-ridden. I simply couldn't wait to read the twists that would happen to the plot and to the Jo-David-Lewis love triangle as a result of Jo's amnesia. It could have been so great! But the book totally ignores that part and just skips along to more of the same kind of advendtures we've read before. It wasn't a bad read, but I felt let down the whole time. And I wish Jo and Lewis would get together already, David gets on my nerves with his total perfection and loving devotion.

the begining of the series was like a new, fast car with lots of explosions and plots that got me involved with the characters. my favorite was the djinn uprising - awesome
then it got kinda wierd with the whole djinn baby thing, and then twin demon thing. but ok, i'll play along.
now it just feels like the series is kinda lagging, or gearing up for some big scene. i like david, and i love jo, but i kinda feel like they can do anything, and everything will turn out okay. i have to say tho, i'm in love wiht lewis ;p
all in all, it was a good book, love where it's going w/ the whole ant-djinn warden movement, although not surpised about the demon angle.

The war between the Djinn and the Wardens may have ceased and a new dynamic emerged from the conflict, but life is far from calm and quiet for Jo Baldwin. With her new powers and being the Conduit's lover, she has more to cope with than ever. Complicating matters is the opposition the Djinn have towards her relationship with David and the effects it could mean for them as a race as well as a new evil force that shakes the Earth and threatens all of life with the opposite of creation. Then, someone who should be dead makes all of that pale in comparison.
***** Light, wry wit keeps things from getting too heavy, but even at the funniest moments, there is an intense drama that makes this a magnetic book. Jo's stories are impossible to not read once you get hooked. Her human frailty is ever present, keeping her real, no matter how powerful she becomes. This series shows no signs of weakening and is the one time you can welcome a storm in your life. The characters are ones you care about so much that leaving them at the end is painful, no matter that you will be rushing to find out how the end does happen. *****

Oh, Jo, you're sinking low.
If I had to name a favorite series, I think Caine's Weather Warden would edge out Harrison's The Hollows (Rachel Morgan), and Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld. I love the characters, I love the pace, I love the world Caine has created and the things these stories make me think about.
So it is with heavy heart that I suggest that Caine is losing her way. Gale Force is the subsequent chapter in the saga, and we get the usual cast of characters - Joanne with her penchant for fast cars and designer shoes, her copper-eyed omniscient lover David, the best friend Cherise, the creepy-but-cool Rahel, the ever-sexy Lewis, and on and on. A few old faces have cameos in this book.
Again, Jo and friends are faced with some mysterious force that is threatening the lives of wardens, djin, and the Mother Earth herself. Again, Jo is the epicenter of the chaos, the missing piece to every puzzle. Again, there are quiet, tender, funny moments between Jo and her David, as well as some of the other characters. And again, those tender moments lead to a monumental choice that threatens to tear the fabric of their lives apart, that shakes the unity of Jo and David, and leaves us witnessing our star-crossed lovers saying goodbye... again.
See, I understand that all series are going to feel formulaic to some extent. Same author, same characters, same world, different bad guy. The problem that is happening with the Warden series is, as the reader, I am starting to feel like I'm being played. Each time something catastrophic happens, we see it through Jo's pain, and we are supposed to feel it with her. But seriously, how many times can people be killed, wiped from existence (because only in a series like this, is death considered an inconvenience compared to what ELSE can happen), turned bad, before none of it seems to matter anymore?
What, a djin has been captured and enslaved, which was NEVER SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN EVER IN THIS WORLD AGAIN? Meh. Jo will kill them.
Joanne's decision has broken the bond between her and David, and they may never speak to each other again? Meh. Jo will fix it.
Where is this going? I feel like this series has been amping up for the final act for a few books now, and if a character death is what we are being prepared for, then please, Ms. Caine, do it before it's so late in the series that nobody cares. Because if this is going where I think it is, I want to care. I want to weep. I want to curl up with my book and hurt with those characters, and flip the pages feverishly to find out what happens next, which is what I used to do... about three "deaths" ago.
I love these characters, and I want to feel their loss when they're gone, so stop giving me cardboard cutout stories and get to the meat of it. Git 'er done.

I love this series and I picked it up last summer and quickly read through all the current volumes within a week! I love urban fiction, and this one is definately unique in using weather instead of the usual vampires,werewolves,etc. subjects. I love joanne's character and her well rounded secondary characters. This book was very fast-paced which is nice but it ends too quickly after waiting a year for it! I love David's character at times, but I've always liked Lewis more. I've been hoping Joanne became involved with Lewis again but it seems the author is sticking with David as the love interest. Regardless I cant wait for the subsequent volume to come out.
