Gale Force by Rachel Caine
reviewed by Michael M Jones
When most people get married, all they have to worry about are lost caterers, college buddies who get drunk and embarrass themselves, and relatives lost at the airport. However, when Joanne Baldwin and her lover David decide to get married, it opens up several cans of unpleasantness. You thought your family was bad? David may be the leader of the pro-human faction of the immensely powerful djinn, but there's an anti-human faction that objects to him tying himself to a human. You thought your co-workers were horrible? Joanne's just discovered the existence of a rogue group of Weather Wardens.

Chill Factor by Rachel Caine
reviewed by Michael M Jones
Joanne Baldwin, ex-Weather Warden and ex-Djinn, just can't seem to catch a break, or her breath. In less than a month, she has died and been reborn twice, saved the world, and seen her entire life thrown into absolute chaos. She has found love and lost it, been betrayed by those closest to her, and been forced to betray in turn. And just when things should be settling down, it turns out she's in the eye of a very nasty world-threatening storm.

Heat Stroke by Rachel Caine
reviewed by Michael M Jones
When we last left our heroine, she had sacrificed herself to save the world. But that wasn't the end of her story. Her new found traveling companion brought her back from the dead as a Djinn. In a very short time, Joanne Baldwin went from phenomenally powerful Weather Warden, capable of manipulating the natural forces of air and water to create or control storms, to Djinn, capable of manipulating the very fabric of reality. Mind you, it hasn't affected her fashion sense, or need for speed on the highway.

Ill Wind by Rachel Caine
reviewed by Michael M Jones
Joanne Baldwin, Weather Warden, can control air and water and manipulate the weather to her own ends, so long as those ends are for the greater good of an unknowing public and a strictly hierarchical Wardens Association. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem. Except that she's on the run from her friends and co-workers, accused of murder and tainted by an unholy force. Should she be caught, she'll be depowered, or killed, regardless of her innocence. Her only hope lies in finding Lewis Orwell.

Ill Wind by Rachel Caine
reviewed by Victoria Strauss
Mother Nature is out to get us. If she isn't attempting to blow us all away with hurricanes or drown us with monsoons, she's tossing us around with earthquakes and trying to burn us to a crisp with forest fires. The only force capable of opposing this awesome angry power is the Wardens Association, a shadowy organization whose operatives, capable of commanding fire, earth, water, and wind, keep nature just barely under control, and the human race a hairs-breadth from destruction.
