'Another powerhouse urban fantasy.' SFRevu

Product Description

Number one bestselling author of THE MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES

I’m not just in danger now, I’m dangerous – to everyone I love.

Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin was supposed to be enjoying a romantic honeymoon with her new husband, the Djinn David – not running from a malevolent hurricane bent on destroying her. Joined by an army of fellow Wardens and Djinn on board a hijacked luxury liner, Joanne has lured the storm into furious pursuit. Only one problem: even their combined magic might not be enough to stop it.

Now Joanne’s being drawn into dark uncharted territory, both at sea and in a battle for her own soul . . . and if she doesn’t change course, her fellow Wardens – and even David’s Djinn – won’t have any choice but to blow her away.

3.0 out of 5 stars Joanne gets in touch with her dark side 1 Sep 2009
By T. McAuley
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Sometimes a Weather Warden just can't catch a break! Instead of enjoying a honeymoon with her new djinn husband, David, with no more worries than whether she can match his passion for her, Joanne Baldwin finds herself once more demon-marked and struggling to retain control of her sanity, while about to set sail - on a luxury cruise ship, no less - into the teeth of hurricane, in an attempt to prevent it from devastating much of Florida. Luckily, she's accompanied on this voyage by a mixed group of Wardens and djinn, including David, of course; Lewis, leader of the Wardens and the most powerful human on the planet; Kevin, the semi-psychotic teenager; and her best friend, Cherise, whose beach-bunny beauty hides an inner core of steely determination, and a good thing, too, as Joanne's going to need all the help she can get, what with obnoxious first-class passengers who've refused to be evacuated, mysterious djinn-killers on board, and the demon-possessed Bad Bob, who's looking to bring about the end of the world.

If all this seems confusing, then you obviously haven't come across Rachel Caine's Weather Wardens series before, of which Cape Storm is the eighth volume. The initial concept - that the weather, and Mother Earth, is conscious and aware at some level, and would scour humanity from the planet if it weren't for the activities of a select group of people with powers over the elements - is undoubtedly a great one, and Joanne and David's travails thus far have made interesting, if undemanding, reading....

4.0 out of 5 stars Stormy seas 18 Mar 2010
By E. A Solinas HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Mass Market Paperback
When you think of the coast of Florida, one thing comes to mind: hurricanes. Well, also cockroaches, swamps and old people, but hurricanes are in the top five.

But the storms are unnaturally strong in the eighth volume of the Weather Warden series, "Cape Storm." And Rachel Caine's penultimate Weather Warden novel takes a dramatically dark turn with plenty of fatalities, some shocking twists and a trip to the dark side for her weather-warping heroine. Its a good climax to the series, and Caine literally keeps the plot twisting like a waterspout right to the end.

Joanne Baldwin has just sort-of-married her Djinn lover David, but they aren't getting a nice normal honeymoon -- a deadly storm is forming off of Florida. So the Weather Wardens and the Djinn end up taking over a vast luxury liner and heading out to sea (along with whiny celebrities and rich jerks who refused to get off the boat). Then they find a Djinn whose existence has been erased -- meaning the malignant Bad Bob is involved.

Of course, Bad Bob is stirring up the storm with antimatter, turning it into a potentially universe-destroying maelstrom that threatens to destroy them all. Also, the ship has some "skin"-wearing creatures that can erase Djinn. Worst of all, Joanne's demon mark is breaking loose of its constraints and swamping her true personality -- and even Lewis and David may not be able to save her.

Killer crystal skeletons, demonic storms, luxurious cruise liners filled with powerful Wardens and an evil tattoo -- I have to admit, Rachel Caine can manage some pretty interesting ideas. And the first chapters of "Cape Storm" are fairly lighthearted (including Celine Dion jokes -- "my heart would not go on, not if this voyage went badly"), but with some lurking flickers of darkness....

4.0 out of 5 stars Weather Warden Series - book 8 12 Aug 2010
By Sarah Gibson TOP 50 REVIEWER TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Cape Storm is book 8 in the Weather Warden series and I would strongly recommend reading the series in order. I think if you tried to read this as a stand alone book you'd probably be missing too much of the back story to get the full enjoyment from the book. I'm really enjoying this urban fantasy series though so I'd definitely recommend checking it out starting with Ill Wind. Although this review won't contain spoilers for Cape Storm it is impossible to review without giving hints to previous events in the series so if you haven't started reading it yet I'd recommend you don't read this review.

Instead of enjoying her honeymoon with David this installment sees Jo running for her life from a hurricane that seems determined to destroy her. In order to stop the hurricane devastating the coast of Florida the Wardens and New Djinn hijack a luxury cruise ship and take to the sea with the hurricane on their tail. With Bad Bob feeding the storm with his new weapon and Jo fighting to stop his mark from taking over her completely they're in for a difficult journey - even the combined powers of the Wardens and the Djinn may not be enough to stop the force of this hurricane.

I've been a big fan of Jo and David since the first book and I still love the pair of them as a couple and as individuals. Jo is finding it harder and harder to fight the darkness of Bad Bob's mark so we see quite a change in her personality as the story develops and I was left wondering if she would ever be able to escape from his clutches. Lewis is forced to make some very difficult decisions in this installment - decisions that are going to have serious consequences for the already strained relationship between the Wardens and the Djinn....
