Summary: I didn't like this one.
Review: It's not really very much like the Enchantments series and it takes far too long for to get to the real plot of the book.I liked the atmosphere of her last series,but this one is just depressing.

Summary: This is great-can't wait for the next in the series
Review: Little Moor in Northern England is a quiet, serene place near a forest where rumor has it amongst the locals that ancient magic remains amidst the trees. However, something has finally changed to disrupt the delicate balance between the humans residing in Little Moor and the magic of the forest. Human twins, Owen and Lily Winter, behave differently because spirits seem to be calling them.Further change hits the small hamlet when a traveler, rare in these parts, Peveral Othman, comes but cannot explain even to himself why he has ventured here. No one seems to realize how influential the stranger is on the townsfolk except the twins, who wonder if Peveral is a member of the Grigori, a species of people who possess powers beyond that of Homo Sapien? Could Peveral be coming to his peopleís home in the magical forest? If yes, what does his return forebode for the obviously inferior humans? STALKING TENDER PREY is an incredible fantasy novel that is the equal if not the superior to the best of Anne Rice. The contemporary setting magically works even as an ancient race is described living within its environs. The Grigori are one of the best fictional races to appear in a novel in many years. Of particular enjoyment is the trouble the rebellious youths seem to cause for their elders. There is plenty of action to recommend this novel. However, it is Storm Constantine's precise use of interesting details that explain interrelationships (including homosexual love) between individuals that makes the first book in ìThe Grigori Trilogyî one of the top fantasy tales of the year. This is must reading for fans of the genre. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Ah, the magic of 'What If'
Review: My wife had read this series several years before we met, and recommended them to me. The ideas bibliography included one of my favorite books, 'The Orion Mystery', so I gave it a chance. The story is sexually gothic, magically bloody, and leaves you hungry for more at the end. Thankfully, this is only the first of the trilogy.

Summary: Strong, many-leveled storyline
Review: Stalking Tender Prey gripped me like few books in recent time. The story unfolds gradually to an ever increasing sense of dread and horror to come, driven by the characters' desires and expectations woven around the central Grigori character. At its core, the book deals with topics such as desire, sexuality, youth and the loss of it; this, together with the careful way in which the characters are described, is what lifts this book about the norm of horror or fantasy books.

Summary: Addictive
Review: Stalking Tender Prey is a story of the Fallen Angels, but has nothing to do with beautiful,benevolent beings that fly. Instead, the Grigori are the descendents of a non-human race that dwell among humans, and yet apart, but secretly wield power over human affairs. Being a history/archaeology buff, I liked the interweaving of ancient events with the modern day. Ms. Constantine's tale slowly, addictively seeps into your pores, then gradually accelerates into a whirlwind, which holds you suspended between the horrific and the glorious. It is not in my opinion a horror novel, but more along the lines of fantasy, since the stars also have their intriguing part to play. However, the prudish should take heed -- there is a lot of sex. This is the first of her books that I have read, but it will not be the last.
Rating:
Summary: Another excellent series from Storm Constantine
Review: Stalking Tender Prey is the start of a journey that you'll want to follow through to the end. I read both Stalking Tender Prey and Scenting Hallowed Blood in 1996/1997 and have been impatiently waiting for the third book in the triology to make it to the US. Similar to the Wratheau series this adventure is just as much about the characters involved as the storyline they are a part of. I'd recommend it to any Constantine fan.

Summary: Extraordinary
Review: Storm Constantine has the ability to draw one into her stories. It as if you become completely and utterly enamored with the characters. This book was the first of Storm's I have ever read, but I can assure you it will not be the last. The story of the Grigori, the mythology surrounding them, is so unlike anything of which I've ever heard. And yet, at the same time, many pieces seem to at last fit together. I summary I say only this. If you seek a story above and beyond the normally droll fantasy books, you should be reading Storm Constantine.

Summary: Contemporary fantasy
Review: Strange feelings in an electric blue ionic afterstorm.Little Moor reminds me of Miss Marple's Saint Mary Mead: only, the culprit is a member of the ancient Watchers, and the Secret Adversary is none other than the Fallen Angel Shemhazai (or whatever). The place (and some of the people ) is dreary, the athmosphere is hair-raising (do not read this book alone at night!) but you can sense over it all the uncanny Storm's humour.
It reminded me a little of the (alas!) late Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently novels, or the athmosphere of some chapters of Clive Barker's Imajica. Contemporary fantasy is a difficult genre that reveals (when made well) the uncanny magic of your own soul.This is a dream of beginnings,when our mythical (mystical ?) roots are revealed.Strange feelings in an electric blue ionic afterstorm.
