Magic abounds in this conclusion of Double Alchemy.  It was so good to see these guys again, and they really seem to have settled into their relationship since we’ve seen them last.  As with the previous book, there is a lot going on here, both overall and individually.Quinn is still the Grand Poobah of the Warlocks and has a lot to deal with there.  Not only is he still trying to take care of finding and eliminating the Witchfinder General, but there is dissension among the ranks of the Council.  In the search for the Witchfinder General, he is brought back in touch with the Regina of Witches, Valencia, with whom he has a bit of a sordid past.  All of this makes things quite interesting, but then there is also the business of Cade and his Fey issues which are carried over from the previous story.Quinn and Cade have matured quite a bit and even gotten a tiny bit kinkier in their relationship which makes for some hot loving.  Even though their sex lives have kicked up a notch, what with the extra Fey mojo kicking in, most of the heavy stuff is off the page, though you never get a sense you missed anything.  And while the tables have turned a bit here in that Quinn seems the more insecure of the two, there is no doubt they are committed to each other.  Thankfully, Talisen has been a bit more under control and even has a few issues of his own to deal with.I have to say I didn’t feel quite the same excitement with this one, even though so much happens.  There were some events that sort of came out of nowhere and just didn’t draw the emotions I expected.  But, there is a lot to love about this interesting world.  The descriptions of the settings and locations are vivid and totally give you a sense of reality.  I loved the added characters, even or especially Valencia, and what they each brought to the story.  As with before, I’m still a bit intrigued by some, most notably, Talisen, and hope to see more from this world some day.If you’re looking for a different paranormal filled with lots of magic and action, be sure to give these witches, warlocks and fey a try.Overall Impression:  I really liked it
