Double Jeopardy

This is book 6 in the T*Witches series. This is perhaps the grimmest so far. There's abduction and murder, Dylan being kidnapped, an apparently powerless Ileana, and a major character who dies, murdered by Fredo's two sons.

Which brings up one thing that bothers me. Alex and Cam are going to Dylan's rescue, knowing that the guy who took him is a baddie. Granted, they are witches, but they seem to forget that they are also humans. They take no weapons with them at all, period. Nothing.

Why do characters in these type of situations fail to realize that they need as many means of protection as possible, and that putting all their eggs into one basket might not be the smartest way to go. If they had even had as much as BB-guns on them they could have prevented the death of the major character; instead, they were both roughed up by the two thugs and were unable to do anything to counter them, much less severely injure them.

Further, they get back home and think only of problems they may encounter. Taking the fight to the enemy, eliminating or at the very least severely hurting the two thugs does not even get one seconds worth of thought.

At the very least, it should have dawned on Alex and Cam that they might have been overestimating their abilities to defend themselves with their magic.
