Summary
A witch’s familiar must protect London from the monsters that lurk in the shadows; the creatures that seek to unravel the fabric of things and send a city to hell.
Stella Familiar was created by the London Coven out of spit and blood.
She’s a fighter, a blunt instrument, built to destroy the forces of evil and keep peace in the capital.
She’s carried out her duty for decades, but when the witches who gave birth to her are butchered, it’s up to her alone to save a city of nine million people.
Mystery, scares, and fast-paced action collide in this thrilling urban fantasy. London Coven: A Three-Book Collection, combines the first three books in the London Coven series:
- Familiar Magic
- Nightmare Realm
- Deadly Portent

Amazing Stella and her Sidekick David The Detective
I have been both amazed and stunned with both the story and the narration in this book series.
Story:
I love the new spin on a witches familiar that this talented author has penned. It brought a unique look at the possibilities that such a creature/person could bring to a Coven.
Stella was an amazing strong main female character with a strong backbone and a balanced approach to what she deemed to be right or wrong. As the story progressed through the series I loved watching the growth of Stella and those she interacted with along the way. Including her relationship with the delectable detective David. This is a fantastic series and one I would highly recommend.
Narration:
Heather Tracy has weaved magic in the voices of each character encountered making their world tangible to those listening. Her tone and lilt with each giving them uniqueness and individuality, something that can be difficult for many. She brought not only the main characters to life, but also the others they met along the way.
I truly enjoyed this series and I believe that was down to the delightful marriage of story and narrator.

those carcasses speaking !
The narrator has an exceptionally warm, open, uplifting voice, from which she can also produce the most highly-charged dramatic moments in a still very listenable way, then go even further, into unrecognisable sounds, everything from dried-up carcasses speaking, to an extra-larger-than-life, centuries-old Cumbrian witch’s familiar on a drunken psychological quest-spree in London !

Fantastic listen
This is a cracking boxset full of all the things you want in a good urban fantasy series. Stella certainly knows her way around now that’s for sure. Roll on book four. Highly recommended

Most Entertaining Urban Fantasy Series
I was given a code for this series , whereby I promised to leave an honest and voluntary review on audible once I'm done.
Book 1: Familiar Magic This story sets up the storyline about how Stella searches for her sisters' murderers and keeps the peace in London
Book 2 Nightmare Realm
In this story Stella tries to solve the mystery of the sleeping children.
Book 3 Deadly Portent
Stella and her team try to resolve supernatural deaths.
The books are well narrated and I recommend them

A fun collection of novellas
These 3 novellas follow on directly from each other making the collection of 3 a cohesive unit.
I have read a lot of urban fantasy as this was a fun different version, focussing on a witch coven’s familiar as the main character.
I found the characters and the stories to be engaging and it left me wanting to read more

A good story, let down a little in narration
This is a good storyline, that deserved a better narrator, I have to say. The voice actress was sometimes underwhelming, unconvincing and even led me to have to force myself to continue to listen, at times.
Indeed, there were moments when, if it hadn’t been for the fact that I’ve read their other stories and even chatted with the chaps from the universe behind these novels, I might not have bothered. But I know they are better than the narrator sometimes made of their tales, and that they deserved to be heard.
On reflection, if I had to do it over again, I might have opted for the Kindle versions, as she was okay, but never really sold me on the character - her acting, accents and range of voices was just... a bit lacking - and this was all too evident for me, by the end, as I had to keep checking which character was speaking. When they all start to sound alike, it’s not a great experience. Okay, but not great.
So a sound four stars for the overall, and the story, but sadly it’s a three - maybe a three-point-five? - for the narrator.

Very enjoyable.
I was given a code for this 3 book serise , where by I promised to leave an honest and voluntary review on audible once I'm done.
I really enjoyed this book serise, it's a great story well written and performed brilliantly by Heather Tracy.
If you like witches and magic, you'll enjoy this.
The characters are very likeable and the banter will make you laugh, there's a good amount of humour mixed with fear and suspence.
it's well worth checking out.

Funny, exciting and very enjoyable.
I was provided a copy of this book free of charge in exchange for an honest review.
So I've just finished book 3 after a little over 6 months as I split the series up but this little review will be for all 3 books.
The stories follow the adventures of Stella Familiar, a magical being brought into existence by the London Witches who, at the start of book 1, are murdered in a most gruesome manner.
Early on she runs into David, a policeman who becomes embroiled in her quest for revenge and he offers a great sense of comic relief throughout all 3 books.
Stella herself is wonderfully aggressive, be it with magic or her fists, and she's not against beating answers out of her foes which is great as, all too often, women are portrayed as being meek or using just charms to get there way while Stella is happiest when she's breaking a chair over someone's head.
The stories vary from the who-dubbit of book 1 to the fantastically creepy childcatchers of book 2 and book 3 really shakes up the dynamics with a major character change, but all 3 are equally as good as one another.
There is some minor gore and quite a free lesser cuss-words, so this is firmly teen onwards but, as a 40-something, I never felt spoken down to nor like I was reading a children's fable.
The narration throughout is perfect, with brilliantly varied voices for all the cast and I'm really pleased Heather didn't try to make her voice masculine for David, but still made him instantly recognisable and everyone had a real sense of identity.
In all, a very enjoyable trilogy of stories with a brilliant protagonist, a wealth of very interesting characters, all beautifully narrated and so this one I very recommended.
