David has proposed to Joanne and she has a wedding to organise. But it seems that the Wardens, like the Djinn, have split into two camps, and some of them are trying to kill her.
I enjoyed this though not as much as the earlier novels - I keep wondering why Joanne's time as a djinn is not brought up in more depth particularly when reasoning that slavery of the djinn is bad, also the Ma'at, while Joanne uses their techniques herself they don't seem to bother to bring this to the rest of the wardens, and I thought the whole point was that the wardens were doing it wrong. Neither of these things are specific to this novel - just that this is book 7 and these thoughts have been building. Also, this book ends on a cliffhanger (again) and the next is not out till AUGUST. Woe.

Someone is out to kill Joanne Baldwin. Not that death threats are anything new to Joanne but they are always unsettling. Especially in light of the mysterious killer(s) rhetoric against the djinn and the method they've chosen for destruction. However, a little death and destruction won't deter her from planning the wedding of her dreams (or is that nightmares) to David, the hottest djinn of them all.

As always with the Weather Warden books I found the fast pace and characters to be engrossing. I finished the book in a day really unable to put it down. The problem is despite how much I like this author's writing, how much I enjoy the characters and how interesting I find the story, I do find myself wishing that there would be some sort of resolution. At this point I'd even be open to considering an unhappy ending just to see poor Joanne and David catch some rest.

I have noted from a blurb in the book that Ms. Caine is planning another new series based in her djinn/Weather Warden world. I wish I could be more excited about it but since I'm already neck deep into her Weather Warden and Morganville Vampire series I'm not thrilled about starting something new while these linger on.

While I'd highly recommend the Weather Warden books and will, of course, read the next of this series as soon as it comes out it might not be the best for those who aren't into cliff hangers. But, if you don't mind cliffies and enjoy fresh, exciting urban fantasy with a bit of humor (Joanne's ever increasingly dry, slightly deranged humor always cracks me up) I'd definitely say go for it! ( )

This one felt like filler - the majority of the plot development was geared to what will occur in the next book. What started as a great series is losing its way. ( )

I was pleased to reach the end of this one. Not because I wanted to see how it ended, but because I just didn’t care HOW it ended, so long as I wrapped it and could move to something else. Unfortunately I think I’ve fallen out of love with the Weather Warden books. I couldn’t remember how the last book finished, now I suspect that’s because I didn’t finish it. I would have happily walked away from this one half way through if not for the fact I wanted to strike it off my TBR list.

There was nothing wrong with the book, except that it completely failed to move me. I don’t know how much of that is me (I’m sick and cranky), and how much of it is that this series feels like it’s marking time and should have been over a couple of books ago. I still have affection for the characters as they were when I first met them, but it’s a nostalgic affection these days. ( )

I certainly liked this book better than the last Weather Warden book, but that does not mean that I liked it a lot. Yes, the scenes between Jo and David are even more steamy (if possible). Everyone looks like a runway model (especially the men). The clothes are fabulous (so is the wedding). And Jo acts more like a powerful being than the storm tossed heroine-to-be-saved of her last book (though she does end up healing in the arms of David after every bout with evil). Still the necessity of keeping the plot going (and going over the top) means that nothing is ever really settled. One evil is vanquished and an even more dangerous evil is uncovered. Jo becomes even more powerful, but not as powerful as her nemesis. The book ends on a cliff hanger that is a lull in the storm, but the basic problem is even further from being solved.

I do hope that now that Rachel has several different lines of novels that she can successfully wrap these characters up in the next novel or two. I don't think they can be dragged out much longer without losing all credibility. ( )

A book that's hard to review without spoilers because it's basically all plot advancement in one of the plots at least. If you're still reading this, beware!

David asks Jo to marry him. She agrees. There is a group of rogue warden-types called the Sentinels who want humans and Djinn to go in opposite directions once and for all - Jo's impending nuptials make her and David the prime target.

Djinn politics gets nasty as the divisions between the two groups threaten various lives at various points, mostly Jo's.

There is a reporter trying to break news about the Wardens as an organisation as well.

There are other twists and turns, but this is, again, a fast-paced book ripping along on shopping, sex, sun and life-threatening moments. The wedding is a classic to read.

My only complaint? It's clear that the next book (and it's clear there's going to be one) is going to be wrapping up this particular baddie. Why not one bigger book to have the whole story? ( )
