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 LIGHTIt begins with a Book of Shadows discovered by a London coven. The grimoire is as dangerous as it is rare, which … 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.

I loved this continuation/conclusion of the Double Alchemy set. This book seemed to flow much more readily and naturally to me than the first one, and I liked seeing Cade learning more about what he is and getting stronger in his craft. He seemed much stronger and more self-sufficient in this book. There is more action, mysteries, betrayal, and the ongoing threat of the Witchfinders. Taken together, this duology is a very interesting and unique paranormal experience.

This is another great read from this author. I had a difficult time putting this book down once I started. Loved the story and the characters.

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. This story is a continuation from the last book Quinn with his powers and Cade finding out that they need to find someone who is killing Warlocks and trying to stop them from being together.

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.

Climax is the second part of the Double Alchemy duology, and as such I would recommend reading them in order. We rejoin Quinn and Cade as they continue their search for Jeremy. Through the search, we find new characters to find out about, including Misty and Valensia. The first half of this book is mainly about that as Quinn continues to do his best for his Warlocks as Grand Master. Cade is by his side throughout, although I’m not sure I would be. I understand Quinn has his secrets, but it would drive me insane! The second part of the book is more about the various schemes and events that Quinn is organising, trying to do what is best, even when opposed by members of his own council.
Whilst I was totally engrossed with this story, there were parts where I wanted more – Misty, for example. There’s a whole story there just waiting to be told, but we didn’t get any of it but the bare bones. Also, Cade. I want more!!! Seriously, my kindle nearly went for a burton when I realised I had reached the end of the book, and there was simply no more. Yep, this is one of those books – where you have no idea about where the ending is until you trip over it!
With the same high quality of writing as in the first book, this fits seamlessly and snugly with the first book. I read these back to back and am thankful for that. With an amazing cast of characters, this is one story I am going to miss, and will be keeping to re-read in the future. Absolutely recommended by me.
