So in my endeavour to keep up with my resolution to read more books, I figured I would try to keep a record of them all here my blog. You may not be excited for that, but I certainly am!

Ill Wind
By Rachel Caine

This is the second book in the Weather Warden series. I don't normally go for fantasy books (I read them if I have them). But we got a few of this series in at the bookstore a few weeks back, and I loved the cover design of them. I didn't really think about reading them until a customer ordered in one. For some reason I decided to read the blurb on the back and thought that it sounded interesting enough. I'd read enough Star Trek books to do me until 2020, so something different might be a change of pace for me.

So I went and ordered in the first of the series.

Oh my goodness, I was addicted. I polished the first book of in a couple days. And the next tiem I was at work I ordered the next one.

It was just as good. The ending was one of those that made me want to jump up and say "what?! No!" It was totally NOT what I was expecting, which is probably a good thing considering predictable books can be booooring. And if a book is boring I WILL stop reading it, that's just the way it is. I mean, why should I keep reading a book that I'm not enjoying?

Anyway, the main character, Joanne, is one of those kick butt heroines a la Charlie's Angels or Alias. It's always fun to have female leads who aren't dumb bunnies who always need to be rescued. Of course, sometimes even a kick butt chick needs to be saved, but usually she's at least put the sweat in to try and get herself out of the situation.

All in all I enjoyed this book. Can't wait for the next one to come in so I can devour it too. :D
