Ill Wind by Rachel Caine

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

It was all over the place, skipping between past and present, which is fine if it works, but in this case it doesn't. Joanne is a woman who trusts no one to the point of not listening to anyone who may or may not be giving her good advice. And why? I have no idea, since her own instincts never serve her well either.

She's running from a storm trying to kill her, but doesn't get that its a storm she created. Everyone who tries to tell her the right thing to do, but she does the opposite to her own detriment at every turn. I just don't get this character. She made me crazy always doing things her way and the wrong way. I have no idea why this is a successful series. Because I wanted the character to be put out of her misery as much as the storm did.

I did like the character if David. I got right away who he was in this story and why he was in her life. But there are two other men in the story that Joanne has either been in love with or has been in love with her and it dissipates the relationship with David. She like a guy going from girl to girl and liking something in each of them, but not enough to respect the fact that his presence makes it tough on them. I get that she's supposed to be tough and independent, but it makes her just as much of a user as anyone else, in my opinion.

I didn't hate it and liked the action, although the constant car chase made me nuts. I just wanter her to get there already. But, I didn't hate it. It was just OK.
