Joanne Baldwin is having a tough time. The former Weather Warden is forbidden to use her powers, so she takes a job she hates as a TV weather girl. The Wardens are watching her because they believe she may be manipulating the weather in Florida. On top of that, Djinns who do not like being enslaved and are breaking away from the Wardens in an all out war; a vengeful cop is following Joanne around town, trying to ask her questions about the disappearance of his partner in Las Vegas; and Joanne's newly divorced sister has shown up on her doorstep. How is Joanne supposed to cope with all of these problems while trying to find a way to heal her Djinn lover, David, who has been turned into an Ifrit?

The fourth book in Caine's Weather Warden series is non-stop action. The series has a roller coaster ride feel to it and I'm not sure where we will end up. One thing I loved about this book was we were not inundated with meteorological terms like we were in the first two books of the series.

We are also introduced to some new characters including Joanne's new friend and co-worker, Cherise; and Joanne's sister, Sarah. I think we'll be seeing more from these characters in the future. Of course, Lewis, Kevin, Rahel and master Djinn Jonathan were back to try to keep the war at bay. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
