Weather Warden 9: Total Eclipse
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
While predictable in some areas, this was overall a well rounded conclusion to the story tying up several loose ends. David will still have to deal with Jo's eventual death as she remains human, but they now have both their human son and Oracle daughter to keep on both sides of the spectrum. Can't say I miss Ashan - he was a pain who needed to go awhile back. Venna is still interesting; kind of wish she'd been the Old Djinn conduit from the start, but that likely would have negated the need for a lot of the series. Lewis replacing Jonathan was a possibility but honestly wasn't looking as likely as imminent demise until the end there. Nice twist to keep him around. Overall, ended nicely.

Weather Warden 8: Cape Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Jo goes through an even harder patch in this book as Big Bob is after her and David, she's losing control and it doesn't look like anyone can save her. Actually it's up to her best friends and new husband to possibly kill her. Glad that seems to have been avoided, yet now they have new problems with Jo and David appearing to be normal humans. Did someone else grab their powers or is there hope to restore them to the lives they know?

Weather Warden 7: Gale Force
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I remember having a hard time getting into this series at the start, but picking it back up again proved it easy to breeze through this installment. David and Jo are determined to get married. Meanwhile the personal and world-wide danger increases yet again as the Djinn are targeted by an old foe who turns out to not be as dead as expected. This couple has had a very confusing and convoluted ride from the start. Looks like the roller coaster isn't over yet.

Weather Warden 6: Thin Air
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Not as good as the last book for the series, but still alright. The amnesia got old real fast, as well as the handy ability to now steal other people's memories since she was missing her own. Was glad that Imara wasn't just wiped off as a clean slate. Can't say that Ashan and David splitting the djinn wasn't obvious for awhile now. This one seemed to drag out a bit more to get to where it was going. Hopefully the interest with the djinn, wardens and ma'at all working together for the first time ever will make the next one pick up the pace a bit.

Weather Warden 5: Firestorm
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Once again it's up to Jo to save the world from pending doom. Only this time, the wardens are dying and they can't rely on any of the djinn to help them, except for her own daughter. Despite all the warnings and attacks, Jo and David constantly continue to take the same risks time and time again. There's also more Jo/Lewis action, and definitely some jealousy on David's end. The interaction between Jo and Imara is also a nice change of pace. The oracle hunt is a little aggravating however. Jo is protected by the mother and everyone seems to know they want to speak to each other, yet she has to get turned away twice by the oracles before one will listen to her? That doesn't add up and makes for a little bit of unnecessary circling in the story line. Now that she has talked to the mother, battled more demon marks, Ashan is human while David and Imara may both be dead, and Jo has no memory of who she is anymore, what happens? There is no end to the craziness in this series.

Weather Warden 4: Windfall
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Once again, Jo just can't get a break. A crappy morning weather girl gig, once again being on the target list from all three fronts (djinn, warden and human), her baby being stolen before she's even really born, her sister showing up divorced on her front porch, her boyfriend dying while dragging her down with him, and her ex-one-night-stand/best friend kissing her in the middle of all this to boot. This one had enough twists and turns in it that I sometimes wondered exactly which part was supposed to be the main plot.
Glad David is a live, though not so glad that the djinn all now seem to be solely under mother earth's control and about to wage war on the rest of the overall population. It was definitely a plus for Imara to turn up at the end of the book, free of any compulsion and willingly tagging after her mother. Hopefully we'll get some news on Jo's power situation and maybe some interaction between her and Imara. That's got to be an interesting conversation in the works.

Weather Warden 3: Chill Factor
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This girl just can't catch a break. The Wardens seriously need a reality check, especially Paul. I alternately want to cheer for or punch Lewis. Very please with how Marion turned out in this one. David is yet again up in the air. Glad to see Rahel back in one piece. Now to see what happens with Jonathan and Imara. Seems Imara especially will be a deciding factor in a lot of things, especially since she has to be born of death and isn't technically supposed to be possible as far as prior knowledge about the djinn implied. Then again, they seem to have it all wrong as far as what the djinn are or are not and what they can do.

Weather Warden 2: Heat Stroke
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Much better than the first book. I'm actually somewhat glad Yvette met a horrible end. Kevin on the other hand is just creepy. More tension with Lewis and David, oh goody. Not to mention David vs. Jonathan coming up. Not sure what I think about the human to djinn to human changes. Do find it somewhat amusing that she's back as a human with the curly hair she kept arguing with as a djinn instead of the straight hair she originally had as human. Hey, there's got to be something funny when she keeps racing off to save the world. No wonder she keeps dying. Impossible situations + no plan = disaster waiting to happen.

Weather Warden 1: Ill Wind
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Initially had a very hard time getting in to this book. It drops you right in the middle of what's happening from the get-go and takes awhile to explain so it all makes sense. Once things start adding up and David enters the picture, the action gets going and the storyline is fun. With the way this one ended, I'm curious to see what happens in the next one.
