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:
- Familiar Magic
- Nightmare Realm
- Deadly Portent

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.

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

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

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.
Very enjoyable.

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.
Funny, exciting and very enjoyable.
