Thin Air - Rachel Caine

On top of that, it was raining

Joanne Baldwin has had better days - at least she hopes she has.  After waking up naked and freezing in a forest, she's located by two rescuers she doesn't recognise at all.  One supernaturally gorgeous guy might have been her lover.  The other says he can control the weather...and so can she.

Not everyone looking for Joanne has her best interests at heart, and with no way to tell friend from foe, Joanne is quickly lost in a fog of deception.  Her tenuous hold on life is fading with every passing moment.  Now she must rebuild herself, one memory at a time, before someone else steals her life - and she disappears into thin air.  Oh, and along the way, it seems that she has to save the world...

Review:
Thin Air is book 6 in the Weather Warden series & in some ways it is quite different to the previous books.  Jo has completely lost her memory so she has no idea who she can trust and doesn't know her about her powers and how to use them.  She's got to learn everything again from scratch and it's a steep learning curve.  A lot of the book is focused on Jo trying to regain her memory & we get glimpses of events from previous books from other character's perspectives.

Joanne's interaction with the other characters is changed significantly due to her memory loss & I found I missed the ongoing chemistry with her & David although this does develop more towards the end of the book.  We get to see what is happening with a lot of the characters we've known and either loved or hated in earlier books & I did find my opinion of some of them changed quite radically with the new knowledge we now have.

Although I wouldn't say this is my favorite book in the series I did find it interesting to see things from different viewpoints.  There is still a fair amount of action but it isn't as fast paced as I've come to expect the books in this series to be.  I wouldn't recommend reading this book if you haven't read any of the other Weather Warden books but if you are a fan of the series then I still think it is worthwile reading.  Overall I think the ongoing story between the Wardens & the Djinn is developing well & it will be interesting to see what happens over the next 3 books and how the series will actually finish.
