More Information:Accused of murder, Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin was chased across the country—and killed—by a team charged with hunting down rogue Wardens.
Five days later, Joanne had a lovely funeral and was posthumously cleared of all charges. Her human life was over, but she had been reborn in Djinnhood. Now, until she masters her enhanced powers, Joanne must try to avoid being "claimed" by a human. But when a hazard that only a Djinn could sense infiltrates Earth's atmosphere, Joanne must somehow convince someone to do something about it—or the forecast will be deadly. So who said being all-powerful was going to be easy?

First Thought when Finished: Totally would have been a 5 except for that dratted cliffhanger and the fact that I don’t have book 3 (totally not the author’s fault on that one LOL)
Story Thoughts: OMG y’all! The Weather Wardens have totally rocked my world and I am INVESTED in how all of this is going to work out. In Heat Stroke things got twistier and can I say it THINGS HAPPEN (stealing that from Kelly). I wasn’t a fan of the cliffhanger at the end but then again it is only because I don’t have book 3 yet. Looking forward to getting to it soon.
Character Thoughts: The characters rock this world! They are what makes the weather warden series shine. I am so invested in their lives and twist my hands when they are in life threatening situations. I love being that invested but it causes me stress 🙂

I am becoming a bigger fan of Dina Pearlman. I really have enjoyed her narration of this series! I need to go look up some of her other work.
Final Thoughts: I need book 3—darn my book budget!

Great review, it is time for me to re-read the first books in this series and catch up with the last 2. Glad you love it.
I seriously hate cliffhangers and there are plenty throughout this series. Just imagine reading them as they came out…and having to wait a year or so between each book! It was excruciating. But SO WORTH IT!
I’m curious about the weather wardens thing. Can they bring cooler weather my way? 😉 Sounds original!
I would love that to happen here! We are in for at least 7 days over 100 LOL
Sigh, every review I read of this series makes me wonder why I haven’t read it yet. I really really want to!
It really is good! I have enjoyed the first two a whole bunch 🙂
You sure liked it a lot more than I did…book 1 that is. I just did not wanna continue
Sometimes that happens 🙁 I am sorry it wasn’t as big a hit for you!
