Summary: 4 Stars
Jo is a weather warden. Basically, there are folk in the world who are capable of touching - and manipulating - the elements of fire, air, water, and earth. Jo is has air and water (which very often go together), and is one of the strongest weather wardens around, as she uses her abilities to calm weather patterns, stop as many storms as possible, that sort of thing.
Or at least, she did before all the rest of the Wardens in the world starting hunting her, since she just happened to kill someone and can't quite prove it was, well, self-defense. Sort of. So, Jo is on the run, trying to track down the rarest of the rare, a friend of hers who has access to all four elements (and more importantly, has some spare djinn bottles kicking around, since she also inherited a bit of a terminal problem as well, and it takes a djinn to fix it)...
Meanwhile, the storms are chasing her with mindless intent, her own former co-workers and friends are chasing her down, and her car needs more gas.
Jo is a superb character - if you love a tough-talking, trash-talking, ne'er do well type with an acid tongue, kick-ass attitude, a lot of magical power, dress sense (think leather and/or Victoria's Secret) and a thing for fast cars. She rocks. I jumped immediately into "Heat Stroke" at the end of this book because the ending of this book left me rolling. If you liked Jim Butcher's "Harry Dresden" series, or if you enjoy "Anita Blake" from Laurell K. Hamilton (but are tired of the over-the-top constant S&M sex that seems to have diluted the story so much lately), this is the book for you.
