I love Paranormal stories & I'm a huge fan of Susan Mac Nicol's M/M books.  In this book, she brings both genres together & gives us this amazing story.  With her master storytelling, she takes us into the mystical & magical world of Witches, Warlocks, Withinners & Feys.  A world where danger lurks in the shadows.The story takes place in modern day London.  Quinn is human, but he's also a Warlock.  He's very powerful & is the Grand Master or king of the Warlocks.  He shares his body & soul with his Withinner, an ancient sorcerer named Taliesin, who is there to guard & protect him, give him advice or help him heal if he's been injured.  They can't be in the same place at the same time, but can switch places when Quinn invokes Taliesin with a spell.  This comes in handy if Quinn has to do some modern day time travel, if he has to get to one place or another that would otherwise take hours, then by switching places he can get to where he wants to be instantly.  They can also communicate with each other through their minds.Cade is an anthropologist & professor at the institute where Quinn is a benefactor.  One night he's walking home & sees a cloaked figure while he's walking through the forest.  Then his vision is blurred & when it clears, he sees a well dressed man in a suit standing in front of him.  What he doesn't know at the time is that it was Quinn & Taliesin switching places.  They start a conversation  & the longer they stay near each other they both realize they have an instant sexual attraction to each other.  What Quinn & Cade don't know at the time is that even thought Cade is human, he's also Fey or a Water Sprite.  With Quinn being a Warlock, the sexual attraction is amped up because of Cade's scent.  Quinn soon figures out with Taliesin's help that Cade is indeed Fey.After going their separate ways that night, Quinn arranges for a chance meeting with Cade at a benefit at the Institute where Cade works.  He manages to get him into an empty office where they have hot sex & Quinn explains to Cade that he suspects he's Fey & that's why they have such a strong sexual attraction.  They start a relationship & fall in love, the strong sexual urges start to fade, but they still have lots of hot sex!But there are enemies that want to destroy Quinn & any chances of happiness.  Another Warlock seeks revenge on him for something he did, vowing to hurt those closest to Quinn first before he finally kills him.  Quinn also has to deal with the leader of the Witchfinders Alliance, a group that wants to rid the world of Witches & Warlocks.  He's also been betrayed by his own kind, someone who pretends to help him, but is really working with somebody else.  Nothing is as it seems!  He has to deal with all of this, while trying to carry on a relationship with Cade & help him find out more about his Fey ancestry.This story had me intrigued from the start.  I couldn't put it down.  I highly recommend it, especially if you have never read any of Susan Mac Nicol's books.  You should definitely start with this one!  There's going to be a second book & I'm really looking forward to that!!
