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 trouble with C...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 on her own. She enlists...more

Shelves: signed, hardcopy

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.

Yes another outing for Joanne Baldwin, now married to David, leader of the New Djinn. It's business as usual for Jo and friends as they end up on a ship-of-fools type adventure, literally on a hijacked luxury liner out at sea being chased by the mother and father of all hurricanes. Jo has to battle not only the weather but the evil forces behind it and also herself. This marks the return of Bad Bob, who way back in the first book cursed Jo with the demon mark that started all her troubles.

It wasn't just the pop culture references at the beginning (although Cherise wearing a t-shirt "with a picture of a toaster popping toast, complete with slider bar that looked like a glowing red eye" made me giggle).

It wasn't just the pop culture references at the beginning (although Cherise wearing a t-shirt "with a picture of a toaster popping toast, complete with slider bar that looked like a glowing red eye" made me giggle). It wasn't the snappy banter, although I loved that too. It wasn't simply being back with Joanne, and Lewis and David, and Cherise and all the characters I've seriously, seriously missed since the last instalment.

It was all of the above combined, plus something else - something very different. It was the author, Rachel Caine taking her strong, all-powerful heroine - someone who's been growing gradually stronger and stronger over the past 8 books - and completely breaking the woman down... not into a powerless character who sits around and angsts, but into someone who can't stop herself from gleefully destroying all the things she's worked so hard to build over her life, cutting into the people she's loved and twisting the knife as she cuts. It's heartbreaking, because you just *know* as you read that at some point Jo's going to have to come out of it and face the reality of the damage she's done... and yet at the same time, it's the totally logical progression of everything that's happened to her in her life up to that point, and I for one would have felt cheated if Caine hadn't had the integrity to allow it to unfold as it should do on the page.

This, I think, is the single thing I enjoyed most about the book above everything else. I've seen Caine write some seriously dark-depthed antihero characters before, but they've usually been in her fanfic (her Methos is still my definitive "personal canon" for the ROG), but I've never seen her write "POV good guy going bad and completely unable (and becoming more and more unwilling) to stop themselves" before. It's something that's not going to work for everyone - but for me, with my love of blurry lines between the good guys and the bad guys; and my generally utilitarian attitude that, all other things being equal, the end result is what matters (plus my incongruent fascination with what happens when that breaks down), this was exactly what I felt like reading this week. This breakdown is, to a certain extent, where Harry could have ended up going in Changes, given the bargains he made. He didn't, but he could have - and seeing it happen to Jo, I'm finding myself wondering more and more what would have happened if he had.

Plus, the whole David/Lewis/Jo thing works for me in a way I know it doesn't work for everyone (and oooohhhhh, Lewis does some nasty-but-necessary things in this instalment - he TOTALLY pushes my competence buttons). And David even does a little button pushing too, as Jo's personal intimidator... *ALL* good :-)

So yeah - as stated up front, this book won't work for everyone. But it really, truly worked for me, so I'm giving it a 8.5/10, and definitely looking forward to Book #9 when it arrives.(less)

After a long period of being too stressed even to read, this series was the perfect antidote, and it got me back on track, so thank you Rachel!

This is the Mills & Boon of the fantasy world, easy reading with very mild sexual references, quite a lot of slushy love stuff and far too much emphasis on fashion. Having said all that, the heroine loves fast super-cars as much as her Manolo's (designer shoes) and whilst she is certainly described as attractive, beauty is NOT her thing, model status...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

In Gale Force, Joanne and David’s wedding ceremony was interrupted by Joanne’s nemesis, Bad Bob B who turns out to be the driving force behind The Sentinels. Due to the timing of the attack, only David got to say his vows and became bound to Joanne without her being bound to him. Subsequently the New Djinn also become vulnerable to being bound into the service of the Wardens. Before leaving, Bad Bob presented Joanne with his very own wedding gift – a demon mark in the shape of a torch. David was able to create a containment area around the demon mark to limit its effects on Joanne. However, as the mark is a direct link to Bad Bob, Joanne has now been compromised and can no longer be trusted.

Cape Storm, the penultimate installment in the Weather Warden series, picks up several days after the wedding ceremony. Any possibility of a normal honeymoon is thwarted when a deadly hurricane is seen forming off of Florida. Created by Bad Bob, the hurricane is bound to Joanne and appears wherever she goes. To draw the hurricane away from Florida, Lewis and a number of Wardens including Joanne, David, Kevin, Cherise as well as a contingent number of New and Old Djinn (including Venna) commandeer a luxury cruise liner and take to the sea with the hurricane on their tail. With Bad Bob feeding the storm with his new weapon and Joanne fighting to stop his mark from taking over her completely, the Warden’s see her as a liability and keep her in the dark about their plans.

When it appears Joanne is losing the battle to keep Bad Bob’s demon mark at bay, Lewis is forced to make some difficult choices - choices that are going to have serious consequences for the already strained relationship between the Wardens and the Djinn. Will Joanne find a way to stop Bad Bob from destroying herself, the Djinn, and everything she holds dear?

With Bad Bob bent on destroying humanity and Joanne fast turning to the dark side, the stakes have never been higher. Some of the choices Lewis made were shocking to say the least (when he made Joanne swim in shark infested waters as well as the psychic kill switch) but knowing him to be the person he is, he doesn’t ask anything of others which he wouldn’t do himself. Joanne’s descent into darkness was hard to read at times as I didn’t want her to hurt anyone she’d regret later.
Cherise in particular shines in this novel proving more than once what a worthy friend she is. Even Kevin managed to surprise me at one point when he sent a rescue boat after Joanne. Despite his hostility and mistrust, there’s always been a thread of reluctant admiration beneath the surface towards Joanne and it redeemed him in many ways in my eyes.

Although I felt the ending was tied up a little too easily there are still major consequences for Jo and David that have left me itching to get my hands on Total Eclipse. I'm looking forward to seeing how Rachel Caine manages to tie up all the loose threads in the final installment of the series.

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 previous events in the series so if you haven't started reading it yet I'd recommend you don't read this review.

Instead of enjoying her honeymoon with David this installment sees Jo running for her life from a hurricane that seems determined to destroy her. In order to stop the hurricane devastating the coast of Florida the Wardens and New Djinn hijack a luxury cruise ship and take to the sea with the hurricane on their tail. With Bad Bob feeding the storm with his new weapon and Jo fighting to stop his mark from taking over her completely they're in for a difficult journey - even the combined powers of the Wardens and the Djinn may not be enough to stop the force of this hurricane.

I've been a big fan of Jo and David since the first book and I still love the pair of them as a couple and as individuals. Jo is finding it harder and harder to fight the darkness of Bad Bob's mark so we see quite a change in her personality as the story develops and I was left wondering if she would ever be able to escape from his clutches. Lewis is forced to make some very difficult decisions in this installment - decisions that are going to have serious consequences for the already strained relationship between the Wardens and the Djinn. Cherise also has her role to play despite being the only main character without any supernatural abilities, I'm liking her character more and more with every book.

Overall this was a fast paced story in the series, action packed from the beginning it will leave you on the edge of your seat. Although I felt the ending was tied up a little too easily there are still major consequences for Jo and David that have left me itching to get my hands on Total Eclipse (the final book in the series). I'm looking forward to seeing how Rachel Caine manages to tie up all the loose threads in the ending. If you're a fan of the series then I'd definitely recommend Cape Storm and if you haven't started the series yet then I'd highly recommend it to urban fantasy fans looking for something a bit different but you really should start with book 1 Ill Wind.(less)

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 book 8 in this ongoing series is no exception.

If you’ve read the Weather Warden books this far, you know just how hectic poor Jo Baldwin’s life is. Cape Storm picks up immediately following the events of Gale Force. Instead of enjoying a lovely wedding with her husband and leader of the New Djinn, David, she’s given an early present from the supposedly dead Bad Bob Biringanine – a big, nasty, irremovable demon mark. Instead of enjoying a leisurely honeymoon, Jo, David and the Wardens are on a commandeered cruise liner trying to outrace an antimatter fueled storm out to kill them, and possibly destroy the universe. And, to add insult to injury, Jo’s demon mark is growing each minute, overtaking her body and mind with its thirst for power. Jo needs to find a way to keep her sanity and to stop Bad Bob from destroying herself, the Djinn, and everything she holds dear.

Like every other book in this series, Cape Storm is the equivalent of a three-hundred page adrenaline rush; Jo doesn’t get a moment of rest, and neither does the reader. This time around the stakes are even higher, as Bad Bob’s return and his new toy of antimatter – the long, toxic crystalline shards undetectable by Djinn and can erase them from memory of existence – threatens to rip a gash in the fabric of the universe itself. Ms. Caine writes with her trademark flair for action and plot contortions – for “twists” seems too tame a word to describe the places Ms. Caine takes this series. At the forefront of conflict, there’s the antimatter problem (which we saw in Gale Force), Jo’s marriage to David and the impact on the Djinn (by his making a vow to a human, David as The Conduit has made all Djinn susceptible to enslavement by humans once again, incurring the rage of Ashan and other Old Djinn), and Joanne’s loss of control as she goes over to the dark side. Once again, Ms. Caine’s writing is hopelessly addictive and damn-well done. Granted, this isn’t exactly War and Peace or truly challenging reading, but it is a impeccably written thriller, imaginative and well-paced. I would be remiss if I did not say how much I loved the new setting of the story – almost entirely at sea, on a luxury cruise ship no less, Jo doesn’t get to drive a single car in this book! I loved the change of pace and change of scenery (in addition to the cruise liner, Jo also swims through shark infested waters, there’s a secret fortress, and of course appearances in the aetheric), but I do miss Jo’s sweet american muscle cars.

In addition to the usual plot happenings, the character development advances in a way we haven’t really seen in the series yet. One gripe I know many readers have is the feeling that this series isn’t going anywhere, that it’s all noise and action without forward motion – and to those readers, I would say read Thin Air (book 6) and Cape Storm. As Thin Air was a bit of a reboot but then a change of heart for Joanne, Cape Storm shows her descent into powerhungry madness, as she becomes nothing more than a tool of Bad Bob’s. It’s terrifying and so very effective because the whole thing is narrated in the first person by Jo herself – she decides not to care about the people she hurts, including Kevin, Cherise, even Lewis and ultimately David. And, because it’s all told from her perspective, readers know that she’s being consumed by her demon mark, but her justifications and change of heart are a scary thing to read – it’s a very ballsy decision on Ms. Caine’s part, by having Jo cross that line. As always, Jo is driven to a fault, but her desire to save the world is turned on its head in this book, which is a nice change of pace.

And as for the other characters, all the old familiar faces are here, going strong. Cherise is adorable and quirky as usual, but makes some big decisions in this novel proving once again why she’s such a worthy best friend. Kevin is back too, and his relationship with Jo has long been one of my favorites – I love the hostility and distrust, blended with reluctant admiration on both sides. And then, there are the two main men – Lewis and David. I’ve always been a David girl since the beginning, but I love Lewis too. And whoo-boy – let me just say, there are some near tear-jerking moments with Lewis in this book. There are developments, and we learn more about the most powerful human on the planet – not just the extent of his powers, but also what Lewis is made of. It’s a different, more ruthless side, and it’s one I hope we’ll see much more of in the next book. And of course…there’s David. The ongoing relationship between David and Jo is one of my current favorites, and Cape Storm doesn’t disappoint in the slightest.

I loved Cape Storm, from beginning to end. It’s another win by Rachel Caine – with the only drawback? Waiting another year for book nine!
