Jpo and David are torn apart, a new world is born of chaos and great pain. This book takes us to new lows for Jo and David they may not be able to recover from. Jo's sister comes back into her life and drags trouble into an already full pool of pain.. great action

For some reason I keep reading these things. Not because they are all that good, but I must keep going.

Windfall is the fourth book in the series and picks up from the end of Chill Factor. Jo has quit the weather wardens and is now working as a lowly weather girl. She doesn't even get to wear a bikini but instead is forced into hideous foam suns and clouds for her strangely accurate yet deeply unlikable boss. If that wasn't bad enough, her sister turns up on her doorstep husbandless, homeless and above all without her extensive wardrobe. She can't turn her away despite the fact that she has to do something about David, who at the end of the previous book, wasn't in great shape at all.
Amongst all that, there are two pretty good characters introduced; a cop with questions who just won't leave Jo alone and Eamon, her sister's rebound target. I feel these books sometimes take a little too long to get going and if you're not into weather then I can imagine they can seem a little slow but I found I couldn't put it down once it got going.

The one thing the last book still had going for it was Joanne's magic. Well, that's ruined now. Thanks to David, she hardly has any power.
Joanne's life sucks. She's a joke of a weather girl. Sarah, her bitch of a sister, is taking advantage of her and spent all of the little money she had. Oh, and she's falsely accused, again.
Luckily, it gets better as it goes. Though Joanne never gets back to her typical strong self, and I could never stand Sarah.
At least it was plenty action packed and I wasn't bored. (once it got going) I actually liked her new friend Cherise and there was a really good scene between the two of them
There were a few too many plot lines going on and the "twist" was so obvious. At one point I thought, she practically needed it spelled out to figure it out, but nope, she still didn't actually suspect anything.
I used to like Rahel, but she's turned into a real bitch. Unfortunately, I feel like that about most of the characters. They used to be good.
One of my pet peeves, like usually deal breaker pet peeves, is
I was considering stopping the series, but then it ended to be continued…

This is the fourth book of Rachel Caine's Weather Warden series. The tales of trouble magnet herion Joanne Baldwin is a unique twist on the modern fantasy. Caine gives Joanne a bit of break in the one, spacing it about a year since the events that occured in the first three books, all which featured events that were one after another. Without giving anything away, some things in Joanne's life get answers, while new and crazy problems pop up and yet another back to back adventure ensues with the fifth book, Firestorm (which I got today but can't read it right away. Sorta of in the middle of another book).

Windfall takes us on another hell in a hand basket ride with Joanne Baldwin. Last go round Joanne had walked away from the Wardens with David, her dying Djinn lover, in very dire straits. Things are no better at present where we find Joanne trying to make a regular living by working as a weather girl for the local tv news while avoiding sexual harassment from her handsy, slime ball of a boss.
Once Windfall takes off Joanne is once again caught up in forces poised to destroy the world and any chance of happiness she thought could be within her reach. Add to all that her newly divorced, used to being pampered sister showing up at her door and a police detective poking into her past and things REALLY start to downgrade FAST.
I really, really like Caine’s Weather Warden series and our girl Joanne, they don’t let up from start to finish and I almost always have to get right on to the next book to find out just how things are going to end up!
