Honestly not too much to say about this. The POVs with the bad guys in this one don't work. It was good to get more of Weather's POV though and I realize it's been a while since Sandford had her actually part of the story besides going to work and getting Lucas out of his bad moods. Other than that though, this book really doesn't work. The bad guys are some of the stupidest people ever. The fixation on killing Weather makes zero sense. And then there's an update about a character in this one that Sandford totally forgets about in the next book.

"Storm Prey" has Weather preparing for a really big medical case. She and her colleagues will be operating on conjoined twins. While getting to the hospital she happens to spy some men in an van and without realizing it, has seen men who have just robbed and murdered someone at the hospital. Once Lucas and others figure out what has happened, Weather and her family are under instant protection. Things intensify when Weather is almost gunned down while driving. Lucas, Marcy, Del, and others work almost 24/7 to figure out who the men are before Weather can be hurt.

Lucas is Lucas in this one. There is no serial killer to chase, but he's hell-bent on keeping Weather safe after someone comes after her. There are some updates on Marcy (happily married with one child) and Del (who just had his child too) and others we have gotten to know. Virgil shows up in this one too. There is the usual lousy cop jokes, but with more seriousness in this one since no one is going to let Weather, Letty, or Sam get hurt. There is also a discussion among Lucas and Weather about having another child. You think after adopting Letty they be good, but they and everyone else seems to find her charming. She's still a hot mess to me dancing towards being a psychopath. 

The only good parts which is the main reason why I gave this 3 stars is that we get to get in Weather's head in this one. And that's been a long time since we have done that since she's been introduced to readers. She's focused on saving the twins and that Lucas and everyone else will keep her safe.

The writing was okay, but switching to the multiple POVs with the multiple bad guys did not work. I started getting sick of reading them after a while and skimmed and dismissed. The flow wasn't great either. The first part was fine, but after that the whole book drags until we get to the end.

The ending was a surprise though and I don't know what else to say about it. I felt pretty indifferent towards things as soon as we got to the end.
