Double Alchemy: Climax Kindle Edition

by Susan Mac Nicol (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 58 ratings
Powerful modern warlock Quinn Fairmont found ecstasy with the silver-eyed and not-quite-human Cade Mairston, but to know true happiness the pair must best both the shadow of a long-ago lover and an ancient enemy who seeks to destroy love, light and all they hold dear.

A BLINDING LIGHT

It begins with a Book of Shadows discovered by a London coven. The grimoire is as dangerous as it is rare, which is why it evokes modern-day warlock Quinn Fairmont’s desire. He collects objects of great power and beauty—like his lover, Cade Mairston.

Against all odds he and Cade found each other, but their perils have just begun. First is the ex-lover who once held Quinn in thrall. And, someone has been killing warlocks.

Could it be one of their own kind? There are those too who would challenge Quinn’s power in their quest to overthrow him as Grand Master. Or is the danger something darker, something invoked inadvertently, rising from the shadows, building from the very inside of a man until it brings an end with a quick flash of light? Of the truth, the surface has only been scratched. Now Quinn and Cade must go deeper and find both answers and an end. They must learn what lurks in the hearts of men...and whether it seeks to love or destroy.

    Susan Mac Nicol takes us on another fantastic journey into the magyckal & mysterious world of Witches, Warlocks, Withinners & Sprites in this sequel to Double Alchemy.

    In this story, Quinn & his boyfriend Cade are now happily living together, but there's still danger lurking at every turn. Quinn is the Grand Master of the Warlocks & has been trying to find & destroy the Witchfinder General, who is on a mission to kill all Witches & Warlocks. So far, the Witchfinder General has stayed one step ahead of Quinn & has evaded him with some magyck of his own. The answer to finding & destroying him may lie in an ancient book called the Book of Shadows. It's a book of spells that used to belong to a 17th century Witch, but has ended up in the hands of a beautiful seductive Witch named Valensia, who Quinn used to date years ago. She didn't take their breakup too well at the time, when he told her he just wanted to date men exclusively, so he knows he may have a hard time convincing her to turn the book over to him, but will do whatever it takes.

    Cade, in the meantime, has been embracing his inner Sprite. Having just found out he was Fey or a Water Sprite when he met Quinn, he wants to learn more about his ancestry & their healing powers. He gets the opportunity to do so when he is injured & the Sprites take him away to heal him, but also teach him how to use his own healing powers. But this puts him in danger as well, because now he's being tracked by a Chaser, a goblin-like creature who tracks Sprites for Collectors. A Collector is also a Sprite, but wants to steal the healing powers of other Sprites to make themselves more powerful. They will do whatever it takes to steal these powers, including killing the other Sprite.

    There's a lot going on in this story. Enemies to be dealt with, alliances to be formed & an infatuated male co-worker of Cade's who won't take no for an answer & has Quinn green-eyed with jealousy. There's also a lot of hot sex, but some not on the page. It seems Cade & Quinn have a bit of a kinky side, but a lot of it's left up to our imagination! All in all, a well written book. If you are a fan of paranormal, then you will love this! If not, then you should give it a try. But you have to read Double Alchemy first, because this sequel is not a standalone. Highly recommend both books!

    This is a really good book. The plot twist and turns are great. Seeing Cade find out more about himself was great. The only thing I didn't like was how it was left open. I hope there will be another book to tie everything up.

    What an amazing story, Witches, Warlocks, Withinners and Sprite. Oh and before I forget amazing MM love. Cade and Quinn go through love, trust, jealousy and elements that want to separate them, but through it all their love grows stronger. I loved this book (need to read Double Alchemy first). Thank You Susan MacNicol bringing us this world and these two amazing men.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2020
    I liked Double Alchemy: Climax , book 2 , much better than book 1 Double Alchemy.

    I also liked that all the plotlines had some type of resolution.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    I really like these characters .. Cade and Quinn are good together.. The secondary characters are awesome as well .. I gave it 4 stars because I wanted more of Taliensen.. I was disappointed that he didn't have a bigger voice .. I hope she continues this series and in the next book has more dialogue and we learn more about what's going on with him in his time..

    The other reviews say it all... This is another 5 star read from this author!

    This is the second book to Double Alchemy which was a amazing read. This book follows on where the last one finished and had me on the edge of my seat throughout! Susan Mac Nicol writes beautifully and this was no exception. The book is full of romance, suspense,crime mystery, murder plus a wonderful storyline!

    I always find her books easy to read although never easy to put down.

    This was a perfect sequel to the first book and although I loved the ending I would happily read more from these amazing characters!

    Highly recommend this series!!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars left just a little bit 'wanting'
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 26, 2014

    To start with I love this author and here there is her usual magical writing style that I love along with deep characterization. I fell in love with this author after the first 'double alchemy' and I have now read nearly all her other books, I also really enjoyed getting to know Cade and Quinn again.
    However, I couldn't quite give this one full star rating and here is why...there were just a few teeny tiny bits that frustrated me and left me wanting more and I was sad about that.
    Firstly I was waiting for a real dramatic climax...magical showdown and there really wasn't one to speak of as the witchfinder General climax ended very easily and what I thought would build with Cade's magical fey side really didn't materialize as I had expected.
    Next I really wanted to see what Cade's magic would be and his discovery...yet it was not shown other than him appearing to Quinn and telling him 'cliffnote' style...I just felt that so much could have actually been shown of this mysterious sprite world and Cades experience there.
    It was mostly in Quinn's viewpoint and I would have loved more from Cade, and more magic and action as there was no real climax/action involved. Now what there was I loved, but it was as though it was done in cliffnotes almost.
    Also in the first book the passion sizzled and even these scenes were cut short and skipped over at too many points. Now I get that this is required sometimes as otherwise there would be too much sex but in this there was too much cutting short these scenes and it was shame.
    Ultimately I'm still glad I read it but can't help being rather disappointed...I was so excited to begin reading as the first book promised so much but in some areas it just didn't deliver.
