Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

So I ended up buying a book on impulse at the store the other day called Undone by Rachel Caine, it's spin off of the WEather Warden series (which I hadn't read) but looked like it could be read stand alone and for the most part it could.
Undone is about a Djinn who is made human, well mostly human. She has Weather Warden abilities.
Weather Wardens are people who can control the Elements and keep saving the planet, at first I thought that everyone knew about them, but it seems they are sort of secret.
Has anyone read these?
I also picked up a book by Karen Chance called Touch the Dark and then I got the other two used. The are more along the Anite Blake line of supernatural person hangs out with/gets entangled in vampires and oh she has a tragic past. Not the best books out there, but a fast read and she has some interesting concepts. Anyone read these?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I've read the first, eh, 3 or 4 Weather Warden books, and quite like them. Engaging protagonist, interesting take on magic, interestingly messy lovelife. (I think I'm slightly fonder of her vampire books - they're only tiny skinny little books, and I think they should probably be in the YA section rather than the Fantasy/Horror section, really, but they're like a little fix of plotty, darkish Buffyishness.)
I think I picked up Touch the Dark too, but couldn't get past the first page.
I just picked up the latest of Carrie Vaughn's Kitty books yesterday - Kitty and the Dead Man's Hand. She's one of my favourite writers in this genre - likeable protagonist, nice plotty plots and the love life actually reads like a grown up person's love life.

I'll have to check out Carrie Vaughn.
I've finished the first weather warden book , Ill Wind I think, and the concept is different and refreshing after a so many vampire novels. You should check out Undone, you can read it as a stand alone.
