Let me start at the beginning...I first started Rachel Caine's phenomenal Weather Warden series a little over a month ago -pretty much on a whim. I instantly fell in love with Joanne Baldwin -the awesome, butt-kicking heroine -and her wild Warden life. I quickly devoured all of the subsequent novels up to Cape Storm, which is supposedly the second-to-last book in the series (Weather Warden book 9 is already scheduled for an August 2010 release on Amazon).

This may be why I had some trou More...

Review courtesy of Romance Junkies

Being a Weather Warden is not easy and if you don't believe that, just ask Joanne Baldwin. She should be spending all her time with her new djinn husband, David, but instead she is on the job. Joanne was marked by a demon and now there is a huge storm brewing that she needs to take care of before it spins out of control. The only way to get to this storm is to sail into the midst of it.

Joanne knows this is a mission she cannot accomplish More...

Now that Joanne has been claimed by a demon mark, she really cannot be trusted. Still, she sticks to her main character trait of always having to save the world, and sets out with the rest of the wardens to go and try to stop Bad Bob. I can honestly say I never expected the man behind the sentinels would be Bad Bob. It is kind-of ironic that the man who really started Joanne's crusade to save the world would be the one to show up in the end, and mark her with yet another demon. It will take ever More...

The book starts off almost in mid-sentence. There's no prologue or build-up or getting you back into the books. Just BAM - we're continuing a story already in progress.

While the book was typical Rachel Caine and you plow through it quickly with it's fast pace and interesting, ongoing stories and characters, I felt this one lack some intensity at points. What starts off as the huge, pressing fear - the hurricane - just kind of bobs along for several days as they cruise around the ocean. More...

This is a nice bit of popcorn that keeps the series from falling apart. Caine is still struggling to find somewhere for the story to go after the basic plotline wrapped up a few books ago, and this doesn't actually drive anything forward, but it does close up some earlier attempts to give the series direction (reviving Bad Bob, the latest demon mark someone has stuck Jo with, etc.) and doesn't mess up the only real directions left to go (the several potential love polygons, the distinctions betw More...

I love this story, Joanne is a woman's hero with the spirit of the energizer bunny. I can not wait for the next book in the series. I hear that it will be the last, I hope that it has a earth (not apocalyptic) shattering ending that has me looking for that never ending (probably non-existing) rock your socks off, "I would die for you" love that Joanne and David share.

Now sort of kind of married, Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin and the love of her life, chief Djinn David, are facing a whole new world of evil. Bad Bob, true to the nickname that had once been a badge of admiration from his fellow Weather Wardens, has activated the demon mark tattooed on Jo's back and set the end of the world in motion. So not only does Jo have to fight the weather, Bad Bob, and the army of renegade Weather Wardens and captive djinn he's put together, she has to fight the evil v More...

Cape Storm is book 8 in the Weather Warden series and I would strongly recommend reading the series in order. I think if you tried to read this as a stand alone book you'd probably be missing too much of the back story to get the full enjoyment from the book. I'm really enjoying this urban fantasy series though so I'd definitely recommend checking it out starting with Ill Wind. Although this review won't contain spoilers for Cape Storm it is impossible to review without giving hints to previo More...

I should preface this review by saying again that I am an enormous Rachel Caine fangirl. The Weather Warden series is one of my all time favorites for its empathetic heroine, the palpable danger that leaps off each page, the romantic entanglements, and most of all for the incredible world-building. And, as each book ends on a cliffhanger, my expectations for each novel are always of the highest order – and somehow Ms. Caine manages to deliver time and time again. And More...

Oh, Yeah...the Weather Warden series is back!

Cape Storm ups the ante...and I wasn't sure that was possible. With Joanne carrying a demon mark, again, the dark side looms ever closer within her psyche. While a world altering hurricane chases her across the ocean, she fights to retain her last bit of humanity. She's losing, and nobody can help her. Will she be strong enough in the end to do what it takes and save everyone she loves from the hurricane, an evil demon, and ultimately hers More...

I really liked this series when it began, but I had a really hard time getting into this one. It might have been because I could not remember a thing that had happened in the last book, but I was so lost when this one began.

Most of the book is set on a cruise ship that is trying to sail into the heart of a demon-created hurricane, to reach the "bad guy," appropriately named Bad Bob. And then Joanne is evil. And then she's not. And then she's evil again. It might have worke More...

This is one book of a set I am, from now on, calling my "sorbet books". Every now and then (sometimes more now than then) I feel the need to cleanse the palate of my mind from the more serious and involved reading I do and just read something fun and fluffy.

No one delivers fun and fluffy more so than Rachel Caine. This series is a hoot, and I think this is the best one yet. So much fun - and so much action.. this time taking place on the sea in a cruise ship! I laughed a More...

Rachel Caine

I was telling a friend the other day that I had read the first chapter three or four times and just couldn't get past it for some reason... I thought maybe I was done with this series for now but then I sat down and one more time read the first chapter and this time it clicked (so I think the problem was with me and not the story) and now I am digging in and loving it again...I'm on page 111 and so far I have seen a great battle sequence introducing new ideas about the We More...

For all its high-seas drama, I found the most interesting parts of Cape Storm to have been the interpersonal relationships and interior rewirings and negotiations that occurred within its pages. Because of a Black Mark placed on her by Bad Bob in the previous book (an interesting parallel to the Demon Mark forced on Jo by this same nemesis in the first book in this series), she spends much of the story trying to keep her lesser instincts at bay. While I'd quibble and say that the last few book More...

Earlier this year I made a dent in the Weather Warden books by Rachel Caine... and then I needed a break. I love these books overall, but blasting through a series begins to hurt my soul a few books in. I'm happy with this addition to Rache Caine's phenomenal series though.

In Cape Storm Joanne's oldest enemy is wreaking havoc on the world - a violent hurricane is ravaging the southern coasts leaving the Weather Wardens only one option... to hijack a luxury cruise ship and battle it More...

Cape Storm was OK. Joanne has to deal with a Demon mark and helping the Wardens and Djinn fight Bad Bob. Throughout most the story, she's struggling to maintain her morality and it's a constant fight. Things don't go quite as planned and there was one scene of extreme emotional intensity. Things wrapped up in the usual Caine manner. My fascination with Joanne and company has come to an end, unfortunately. I'll probably read the next in the series, but honestly, I wish the author would wrap it up More...

I'm sort of over this series, though it certainly doesn't lack action. It's a bit non-stop action. It has its up and downs, but the ups are definitely up. I found "Evil Joanne" to be the most compelling parts to read.

I suppose maybe one of the reasons I've become "meh" about this series is that I'm more of a Team Lewis kind of gal. I find him way more interesting than David.

Another excellent installment in the Weather Warden series. Rumor has it that this is the penultimate novel and, if so, it is winding up to be a huge ending!

This one was less about character development, except maybe Lewis, and more about the end of the world action. And it is non-stop. Not enough of the secondary characters for me, especially David, but all in all a great book.

Oh man...

This series is depressing me.

How many times is the world going to almost end?

How many times is Joanne going to die?

When will she and David just get to sleep in in the morning after some wild, naughty sex?

I can't take much more of this.

I'm exhausted. And unlike those two...all I do is turn the page.

Been so busy over the past few days I only had time to read in bits and pieces - Having just finished Gale Force you plunge straight back into the story without a chance to breathe.
There were some really interesting scenes in this installment - Lewis's confession and choices, Joanne struggling against Bad Bob's influence and David's fear and fury. Of course there is also non stop action, but the strong emotions almost overshadow it.
Another entertaining read with a suprise ending - l More...

4.5 stars. It was the best installment of the series so far. I think it was due to the shake-up of the main characters personality traits. Joanne (aka Miss Morals) became almost amoral. Lewis, who I was beginning to believe was emotionally retarded, showed some emotion and actually shed a tear or two. And David...he got really, really angry. I didn't know he had it in him.

These books just getting tougher and tougher on Joanne and I found myself wishing that she would get just a spot of a breather now and again.

Needless to say she doesn't and this one is a harder read than the others, during the series Jo has been through the mill but this book takes her beyond her limits and out the other side.

I loved the tension in this novel and what I would give for a djinn who was like David.

I even like Lewis, he's a very complex character, much More...
