Summary: Professional Reviews and Quotes
Review: "Scenting Hallowed Blood is the second book of the Grigori Trilogy and continues with the story of Peveral Othman-who is the fallen angel Shemyaaza, and his adventures after leaving Little Moor with Daniel and Owen and Lily Winter. This time they move to Cornwall, but is he here to help the Grigori, or does he have plans of his own? Storm is one of the best writers of Dark Fantasy and this book is no exception. Pick this one up and be ready for Stealing Sacred Fire due out in 2000 from Meisha Merlin."-Baryon Magazine, December 1999

Summary: True to form - and still one of my favorites!
Review: Finally got my hands on the sequel! The ending to Stalking tender Prey left me hanging a bit - but kept me looking for this one!Storm's usual intricate character development is accentuated by the story line. Still a little homo-erotic, and appealing to the pagan in all of us. A good read, and well worth my wait. Now if that third would just make it to the U.S.!!!

Summary: Good, but not perfect.
Review: I felt a bit let down reading this after _Stalking Tender Prey_, a book which left me with such high expectations. Constantine's talent for textured prose, distinctive characters, and gleefully ambiguous morality (and sexuality) are still evident, yet (to me) the neo-paganish mysticism introduced becomes overbearing to the point of distraction at times. Still, it was an entertaining read, and I plan on buying the third, final novel.

Summary: Like being on Neptune whit Aeschylus
Review: This book is wonderful. Mixing ancient mythology whit modern Angst, creating an eerie feeling, when you realize that this uncanny fantasy might really say something on the real history of this world (like I felt whit the Wraeththu series). Shem is the disillusioned idealist, a Prometheus that,once freed,feels betrayed by his own people and by humanity,that he feels has abandoned him. Shemyaza and the Titan (a giant,a god,a...Nephilim?)Prometheus:both givers of forbidden knowledge to humans. Read Aeschilus' Prometheus Enchained, then you will notice some similarity whit Shemyaza's story.

Summary: Pagan's Rejoice!
Review: This book practically drips with Pagan imagery. The mood and feel of the book is very much derived from where the book takes place, in Cornwall's desolate storm-lashed coast. The sea imagery is amazing, not as good as in Sea Dragon Heir, but that is only because of the locations being different. The landscape reflect the inner conflict of Shemyaza and is very appropriate because of this. This book reads faster that the first book or the trilogy and is even harder to put down because of the descriptive nature of Storm's Writing.
