DANNY Quadrilogy #2.2
DANNY 2.2 - Eilean Mhor
Eilean Mhor is a small island off the West Coast of Scotland, surrounded by ocean and blessed with long white sandy beaches. It is here Danny sets up home with his oldest adversary, and greatest friend.
At first all is wine and roses, glowing sunsets and fun on the beach. But it isn't long before old jealousies and ugly frictions start rubbing the bloom of newfound happiness off Elysium.
First there is Ewan of the violet eyes and heart-shaped face, idolising Danny and hero-worshipping the dangerous Jackson Moore charisma. Then there is Morag, buxom, sweet and keen to replace her unsatisfying local boyfriend with something hunkier. And then there is Iain – a new Iain scarily like the old one in the one way Danny fears a cuckoo in the nest determined to steal his life for his own.
DANNY 2.2 - Eilean Mhor - is the most seductive and alluring volume of The DANNY Quadrilogy, and offers us a different portrait of the Jackson happy, optimistic, even secure. But how long can it last, with hungry interlopers sneaking in every door, their gaze fixed firmly on everything Danny holds dear?

About the author
Chancery Stone
21 books50 followersChancery Stone likes wading about in darkness. She always has.
Equally well, she loves the magical powers of redemption, particularly self-redemption. She has a particular fondness for heroes (of either sex) who don’t let anyone fuck with them. This does not involve kick-boxing, vampirism, government agencies or a sociopathic knowledge of firearms. Instead this involves going their own way, in their own time, to their own tune and realising that if God is watching it’s only to see if you’re one of the smart ones.
Chancery Stone was born half a lifetime ago in a quaint Scottish fishing hamlet known as East Kilbride, where she would run wild and untrammelled about the hills, picking heather and singing in the Gaelic. In her spare time, between making moss dyes and raising nursling quails, she ran a child sex club. She was a child herself at this time, of course, and therefore has managed to evade the long arm of the law.
At least thus far.
The Dirty Club had a simple remit: sex, sex and more sex. Limited as it was by her age and ignorance, this chiefly involved urolagnia, exhibitionism, voyeurism, humiliation, bondage, homosexuality, frottage, fingering, nudism, paedophilia, ritualistic power games, domination, bullying, more humiliation and more urolagnia. In fact, altogether too much urolagnia.
She was outed several times – by children to other children, and by adults who really didn’t like that sort of thing. Driven underground at the age of twelve she became a sad academic recluse and took up reading savage and horrific literature and absolutely anything with sex in it.
Then there was wider reading. And yet more reading. And sick three-novels-a-day-habit style reading. And a lot of theatre. And then back to sex again – sex and more sex – extended by now to contain the more missionary and conventional forms thereof.
Eventually she got sick of reading (but, somehow, never of sex) and decided to write instead, and then all of this life-strangely-lived started to spiral out of her, backwards, onto paper.
We expect that once the DANNY Quadrilogy™ is finally done she will turn out some very interesting books in the vein of “Moss Dyeing for Beginners“ and “Quail Baby, Fly Away Home.”
And after that there will be death.

So glad greaves is dead! Evil asshole that deserves every bit of what he got and more. This has to be one of the most insanely hot, crazy & bizarre books I've ever read. But I'm too addicted to stop now! Onto 2.3

Danny 2.2 Eilean Mhor, the third part of the Danny Quadrilogy, is my favorite installment so far. There's finally a bit of peace and happiness for Danny on this small island in Scotland. Unfortunately it comes so early in the novel that you fear it cannot be the happy ending you craved. And indeed, new characters intrude, igniting Danny's spectacular needs with their desires. Again we find ourselves spun round and round on the merry carousel of betrayal, mistrust, jealousy, violence and dark passion.
Harry Greaves forces Danny's return home to the farm, adding to his troubles. Greaves becomes more obsessed and repulsive at every turn, eventually hunting Danny down in London, where their conflict escalades.
A difficult novel to talk about without giving too much away, this installment proves how carefully the whole series is plotted, as baffling events and dialogue from the first Danny novel finally make perfect sense. This is the book where I began to develop my own theories on Danny and his behaviors and motivations, as pieces of his past and present suddenly fit together to provide a larger picture. Danny 2.2 ends once in such a way that you itch to get your hands and the next one. My advice: indulge!

What can I say? I love the writing! Each book answers some of the questions I have had since the first book in this series, but then I have new questions. Chancery Stone is so good at manipulating the feelings of the reader(well, at least me!). I am in Danny's corner most of the time, but sometimes he does things that make me dislike him. In fact, this is true for just about every character in the series. I guess that means that they are multi-faceted. It's just really interesting how this story is developing. I still can't tell where it's going to go. I'm really not a fan of books about incestual relationships, but somehow I keep forgetting that most of the relationships in these books are, in fact, incestual. I am most disturbed by John's actions. He did some really horrible things in this book which I really can't forgive or forget. But the surprise at the end about Danny...I really can't wait to read the next book in the series to find out what will happen to everyone.
An excellent series if you don't mind reading about incest, rape and other kinds of violence. But there is also a bunch of passionate love too. Anyway, the book is hard to put down.
