In my opinion Climax is one of those sequels which outshines its predecessor! Susan Mac Nicol has developed the Double Alchemy plot, adding several new characters and evolving the personalities of already established ones.Although I am a huge fan of Susan Mac Nicol's m/m novels, which generally feature intense male protagonists,  I loved the introduction of Valensia, the witch Regina. She is attractive, powerful, assertive and sexy. Quinn and Valensia share a personal history in which he, a man normally the predator, became the prey and I think this moment of weakness, though cruel on Valensia's part, helps him become more accessible.After being stabbed Quinn has to release Cade to the sprites in the lake hoping they will heal him; this is an emotional scene and following this Cade steps forward into the more powerful role I wanted to see him in during the first book. Quinn finally adjusts to Cade fulfilling his 'other' identity and because of his acceptance of a more equal relationship I was more willing to change my opinion of him.The plot of Climax is less 'busy' than the first installment but is still full of magical conflict, romance and passionate sex scenes!! Again I am reminded that Susan Mac Nicol is one of my favourite authors and my Kindle library would not be complete without her fantastic novels!!I received this as a complimentary review copy, but this has had no influence on my opinion.
