Gale Force (Weather Warden Series #7)

A reviewer

They have been together for quite while through some nasty situations and some pleasant times. However, When Djinn David proposes marriage to his beloved Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin ecstatically accepts she has never been happier although both understands the hardships and prejudice they will face from both their species as they have felt some of the loathing just because they have been together.-------------------- Still they never expected the degree so called sentient beings will go to prevent their nuptials. Disregarding collateral deaths, for instance, an earthquake is sent to destroy Joanne as she shops for her wedding dress. Soon after the quake, the Sentinels are formed with their mission to eradicate the Djinn population using an unknown weapon that apparently her David and his Djinn brethren cannot detect leaving it to Joanne to uncover the truth if she should live long enough as the Sentinel operatives know she must die.------------------- The latest Weather Warden (see THIN AIR) romantic fantasy is a wonderful tale as the happiness of getting married is trampled by the Sentinel genocidal movement and to a lesser degree the obvious racism of the lead couple¿s respective species. The story line is fast-paced as the Sentinel horde knows fundamentally they can succeed in their lethal ethnic cleansing if they kill Joanne. Fans of the series will appreciate this one sitter while newcomers will be in back list frenzy mode as Rachel Caine provides an entertaining yet deep relevant (in today¿s world) entry in a strong saga.---------- Harriet Klausner

Really deserves 3.5

Joanna Baldwin, our favorite weather warden is back! Here¿s the good news, she and David are getting married. Bad news¿.. there¿s a group named the Sentinels who are anti-djinn and out to get her w/ a vengeance. Finally we get to see Jo and Dave in a relaxed setting (for a while anyway). Imara is involved in this installment but I¿d like to see more depth into her character. She could be an exquisite storyline, but Rachel never seems to put more thought into the character but drops her name every now and again. I did find a bit of inconsistency w/ how the Djinn can be enslaved and also Jo's own enslavement w/ the demon mark. Further, Bad Bob¿s character was a train-wreck of inconsistency w/ him dying or not dying, being a demon or no demon; there was no clarity there. Kevin seems to be maturing, Lewis is always Lewis and Rahel is still as complex and dangerous as ever. I find the whole concept of bringing stable antimatter on earth extremely interesting. I also like that the Wardens and Djinn decided to go public. Although there seems to be a bit of confusion w/ this book, I¿m still looking forward to the next installment.

Don't waste your money

Rachel Caine can tell a good story. The problem is, she can't keep her stories straight. These books have too many inconsistencies for my liking. I won't buy another book in this series.

Whoa David!!!

Another fantastic installment to the non-stop action packed life of Joanne. And let me tell you, David gets yummier with each new book. Just when we thought Joanne might get a break, she is thrown right back into the thick of things. Can't wait for book 8, as this book once again leaves us with a heart pounding cliffhanger.
