Product Description
From Booklist
Joanne Baldwin is a weather warden, who can control the weather and keep it from being more chaotic and destructive than it already is. She is on the run, though, for she is accused of killing a senior warden, which she did, sort of: a thread of corruption runs through some of the most powerful wardens, one of which put a Demon Mark on her and then died. Her only hope now is to get a djinn from her old friend Lewis, who stole three of them^B from the council of the wardens many years ago. As she runs, she picks up a hitchhiker who knows things an ordinary person wouldn't, and who offers help. With djinns and other wardens, including those sent to arrest her, all giving her conflicting information, Joanne never quite knows whom to trust in this romantic escapist romp rife with danger, excitement, and even classic cars.

OMG!!! Please, Ms. Caine, I'd like some more...,
By Saya "Kaijin" (Anjou, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ill Wind: Book One of the Weather Warden (Mass Market Paperback)
Who would have thought that a book about controlling the weather could be freaking amazing. I was confused at the start of the novel because we pretty much just start in the middle of what's happening, but the author slowly reveals backstory as she moves us along and it's one of those you just can't put down. I high recommend it to fans of Kelley Armstrong, Kim Harrison, JIm Butcher or Charlaine Harris.The writing is fantastic, the characters are so well drawn out that you feel for them as if they were real people, the story is fun, funny, adventurous, sad, romantic...everything you could want in a story that never lets up...it's almost exhausting. I won't regergitate the basic plot, but you should know that as soon as I finished this one, I bought Heat Stroke (2), Chill Factor (3), and Windfall (4) and I give them ALL 5 Stars!!!! The series is amazing and to think I almost past it up! I am also so desperate for the fifth book (Firestorm - September 5th)...what to do while I wait!?! Oh, and I wrote in to Rachel Caine and she wrote back...how sweet is that?!

DON'T PASS UP THIS SERIES!!,
By Teresa E (Edmonton, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ill Wind: Book One of the Weather Warden (Mass Market Paperback)
Well I have never, ever written a review about any book before in my life but after getting back into reading in March of last year, and finishing The Dresden Files series, I was wondering if I could find another series just as spectacular. Rachel's books were in the same area of the bookstore with Jim Butcher's, and the titles caught my eye. Shrugged my shoulders and decided to try Ill Wind. Sooooooo glad I did!! Could not stop after that and ended up reading all 6 in a matter of weeks. The characters are VERY likeable and their development is wonderful throughout the series, plus Rachel makes Joanne's character witty, funny and sooooo darn entertaining. Can't wait for the next book, due out this August!!

One to buy and keep,
By ginnyk "ginnyk" (Glenside, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ill Wind: Book One of the Weather Warden (Mass Market Paperback)
Fantastic - really! A great book, a great read, a real page-turner - one of those books where I rush to the end of a page to see what will happen on the next page. The premise is made believable (weather is caused by evil somethings, djinni can be sources of power to magicians - including weather wardens), a secret coven (?) of weather wardens, housed at the UN Building, really save the world - almost daily.This author makes her world and premises believable, her characters human (even the djinni), and the dilemmas truly frightening. As twists in the plot reveal new information and new factors they fit in nicely - no deus ex machina for this author. Lots of adventure, lots of risk, many moments of humor along the way, and a happy and tricky ending which I won't reveal. I will be watching eagerly for the next book in this series and will buy it on the spot.
