About this listen

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:

  1. Familiar Magic
  2. Nightmare Realm
  3. Deadly Portent

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.

A good story, let down a little in narration

I’dread already listened to all of the Dark Lakes and Spectral Detective novels and they were amazing, so it was a no-brainier to give this a go too!
It took me a little while to get into at first as the narrator has a very different style to the other books, so it feels a little more formal and less relaxed in it’s telling, but I was soon absorbed and loved every minute of it!
It’s really important to listen to these before picking up “Other London” as that follows on from these stories.
Loved the mild cross-overs within the story and hope there’s more of that in the coming books too!
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.

“You’re Stella Familiar of the mutha-shi**ing, London, bloody coven!”
