Ill Wind by Rachel Caine

In Ill Wind, the author takes us on a thrilling ride. Joanne has an interesting job: she's a weather warden. This basically means that she helps to control the weather so that the weather doesn't destroy Earth and everyone living on it. But now she is running for her life and doesn't know who to trust. This story was filled with twists and turns as Joanne tried to figure out what to do to make things right. The author slowly gives us the reasons as to why Joanne is running as well as giving us background on what led up to cause all of this.
This was a good story that had me intrigued from the beginning. I loved the "new" take on the weather and thought that it was fun to read about. The author kept the pace fast and I became engrossed in this story. I wasn't a huge fan of the ending BUT now I'm interested enough to read the next book sooner rather than later. I keep wondering what the author will think up next :)

Witness In Death by J.D. Robb

Here it is...my last review and then I'm caught up! Woohoo! In this installment of the In Death series, Eve and Roarke are watching a play when the lead actor is murdered before their eyes. With literally thousands of eye witnesses to the crime, Eve has her hands full. Add to the fact that some of the suspects are actors and the "truth" is all in how they decide to portray it. All of these ingredients make a pretty darn good whodunnit.
One of the things that I liked about this paticular book in this series was that we got to see the beginnings of a...dare I say relationship...forming between Peabody and McNab. I'm anxious to see where it goes. We are also getting to see how much closer Eve is letting people into her life. I love her personality and think that it really makes this series great. As always I'll just keep recommending this series! :)

Loyalty In Death by J.D. Robb

I'm going to make this review short and sweet--I've been raving about this series enough by now :) In this story, Eve and Roarke are up against a terrorist organization that is threatening New York City. Filled with suspense this had me sucked down into Eve's world...I didn't want to come up for air! For an extra benefit we get to see a different side to Peabody that I'm really enjoying.
