This is the latest book in the adventures of Joanne Baldwin, Weather Warden.  As usual, Joanne gets herself into more trouble that the average person.  Of course, since she’s once of the top Wardens around, she’s not exactly the average person.

This time around, Joanne gets to save the world from some very bad people who are trying to destroy the Djinn, the Wardens and, oh what the heck, how about the entire planet?  It turns out that one of her friends is one of the very bad people.  I didn’t see that one coming.

Ah… and despite some major opposition from Ashan, Joanne and David actually get married.

Ok, so now I just need to know when the next one is being published.

You know, I’d hate to be an awesome car in Joanne Baldwin’s world. She kills cars. Well… no. She doesn’t kill cars. She loves her cars. But cars tend to get killed around her. Poor things.

Joanne lost her memories to a Demon (bad, bad Ashan!), and this is the story of how she kicks butt to get her life back.

And damn it, now I have to wait til August 2008 until the next book in the series, Gale Force, is published. Arrrrrgggghhhhh!

Ok! Got caught up on all the excitement in Las Vegas that is alluded to in Books 4 and 5. And in usual Caine fashion, we had a wide ride along the way!

I’ve got one more in the series to read… and it makes me wonder how many of these Ms. Caine is planning to write. Because I could keep reading them until she gets tired of writing them.

Yee ha! This latest book from Rachel Caine is one hell of a wild ride! The end of the world is coming and it’s up to Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin to save the day… with the help of a few friends, and the hinderance of some bad guys.

The next book in the series had better be available, because she just leaves poor Joanne… ok, no spoilers. But the next book better be available.

Skipping the third book in the series and moving right along to the fourth (sometimes the books just aren’t available at Booksfree and they send me what they have)… we find Joanne human once again and living in Florida. With a “real” job. And her dysfunctional sister has come to visit. The Djinn are having a bit of a revolt and Mother Nature is seriously disturbed about something.

I am not moving to Florida until they get a Weather Warden down there who can handle the job.

A number of books have been read over the holidays! It’s kind of relaxing to have plenty of time, but not seem to have the time to fiddle around on the computer.

So, Rachel Caine’s Heat Stroke is the first book I finished. She’s got quite an interesting way of explaining all the crap weather that seems to plague us. And who can resist stories that involve Djinn? Not me, that’s for sure. In a previous installment, our intrepid hero manages to get herself killed. This one is all about her life as a Djinn. Ok, maybe it sounds silly… but it’s not! Read it. You’ll like it.

I’m back to reading some good old science fiction/fantasy! This one caught my eye while browsing through titles on Booksfree. I’m glad I put it in my queue. Rachel Caine tells a good story, and the fantasy aspect of the story was a nice break from the mystery thrillers I’ve been reading lately. There are at least three more books in this series… all of which are in my Booksfree queue.
