  _In Rachel Caine's_ Ill Wind _and_ Heat Stroke, _Weather Warden extraordinaire
  Joanne Baldwin, who protects the human race from monster storms, was killed,
  reborn as a Djinn, and then restored to her original form. She's been through
  a lot_ — _and stuck her neck out many times_ — _to save innocent lives. Now
  she's rolling the dice to stop an infinitely powerful, deeply disturbed kid
  from destroying the world...._
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  A teenager named Kevin has holed up in style at a Vegas hotel with the most
  powerful Djinn in the world, planning who knows what kind of mischief. The
  Wardens' senior leadership is dead, Djinn are disappearing, and a secret
  society wants to help Joanne destroy Kevin, even if doing so kills her
  (again). But everybody in Vegas has a game going, and Joanne has to learn the
  rules fast because the stakes have never been higher—and all hell is about to
  break loose....
