The Weather Wardens series is fantastic! It's about the Wardens who protect us from Mother Nature's fury. We are not supposed to know about them, but....somehow the info got leaked into 7 books, soon to be 8 in August 2009 and finally, and sadly, ending in 2010. As I said in my previous post, this is a series where you must read from book 1 to book 7, then 8 and then 9 next year!
In brief here is the series:
Note: There may be some SPOILERS from book to book based on its descriptions. Especially if you get the exact one that is found on the back of the book. There may even be SPOILERS in these shortened descriptions as well, so reader beware. I did however, try to eliminate some of the major spoilers with the "SPOILER" input. Again, you can easily find the information I withdrew from the author's website or at other book-based websites.
Due to the amount of books and their lengthy descriptions that are usually found on the back, I took the breifiest detailed summary from Amazon and Borders' websites just to quickly sum it up. If you want a fuller description you can easily find them on the back of the books or at Rachel Caine's website: http://www.rachelcaine.com/
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 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.
