Heat Stroke

The Wardens Association continues to protect the human race from extermination by climatic extremes. That is, when they’re not turning on their own... Joanne’s survived one challenge - technically - but now she’s got a whole new set of problems. After being accused of murder and chased across the county - and killed - by a team charged with hunting down rogue Wardens, Joanne’s human life is over. Reborn into Djinnhood, she has to master her enhanced powers whilst trying to avoid being 'claimed’ by a human. With the help of a hot supernatural lover, things are looking bright - until they go wrong. There’s trouble brewing, and it’s not confined to River City...or to the Wardens. No, this trouble could kill every Djinn on the planet - and unleash a storm that could send humanity to join them. Armed with keen fashion sense, lime-green Manolo Blahniks and a really fast car, Joanne prepares to do battle with the enemy. Just one problem...it may be herself.
