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

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.
