Going by the book cover, I didn't think I would like this book, & the whole weather thing didn't sound that interesting, but now I'm hooked on this well written & fast paced series.

Comment:
I was pleasantly surprised by the first book in this series - 'Ill Wind' - and was somewhat looking forward to reading the follow up. It didn't take me long to lose some of that enthusiasm as I started to get the impression that Heat Stroke was going to go much more into the romance novel direction than the first book. But I persevered, because there is nothing worse than a reviewer that say, "It was so bad I didn't finish it". I do not care what you have to say about a book if you did not read it (now I will climb down off my soapbox).
Heat stroke did not turn into a romance novel, but continued the style and flair of the first book. There are elements of romance, and I would go so far as to say that it is the core theme of the book, but the story itself is about 'real' people living in a very unreal world. Most of the characters feel like they are alive. There are some exceptions. I did think the villains in Heat Stroke could have been given a little more depth. That and the cliffhanger ending are the main reasons I went with 4 stars, but I will read the next book in the series.
People who like the Charlene Harris `Southern Vampire Mysteries', Jim Butcher's `The Dresden Files' and/or Carrie Vaughn's "Kitty" books will probably like this `Weather Warden' series - and vice versa.

Comment:
This is rare for me, because I'm usually not one to gush over a book, but I really did freaking LOVE this one! I think Caine's writing is brilliant. Just the right amount of action and humor, a little romance mixed in...just an awesome book. Rachel Caine is fast becoming one of my favorite authors.

Comment:
I read the reviews after reading Heat Stroke and agree with the fact that this author LOVES to tell stories. Which, for an author, is a must but there were times were I felt a little information overload.Jo is a great character, David is provacative and the fact that he's not the only love interest always adds excitment. I look forward to the next installment which I'm starting later tonight. All in all a wonderful read. Well worth the money.
