About this listen
Wake no more, said the fearful small, for now I am here, to punish you all.
Stella Familiar is the only remaining member of the London Coven; an enforcer, built by witches to destroy the monsters that seek to destroy humankind.
She’s good at her job, but now she’s facing a challenge she can't put her fist through.
One by one, the children of London are falling asleep, and they're not waking up again.
A terrifying phantom from the city’s past has returned, and it’s found a way to burrow into the minds of children.
Can Stella banish the nightmare creature, or is every child in London about to close their eyes for good?
Mystery, scares, and fast-paced action collide in this thrilling urban fantasy series. Listen to Nightmare Realm now for a tale of magic and mayhem you cannot put down.
©2019 M.V. Stott, David Bussell (P)2019 M.V. Stott, David BussellThe author has such a way with words, even though the story itself is dark and twisted, we still find humor.
I love David as a character, more even than Stella itself, but I must say his backstory is lacking, his motivations and everything. I would love to know more of him, the way he is in this installment, I thought of him more like comic relief.
The brief appearance of Jake was amazing!

Stella no longer feels totally alone after the loss of her coven, with the help of David she finds purpose in again carrying out her covens duty of protecting London from its uncanny inhabitants. Things get personal for Stella when Davids niece is taken by a mysterious sleep monster who has been stalking the local children's wards and trapping kids in their own nightmares. Stella faces her own heartbreak and inability to save someone in order to rescue not only David's niece but all of the kids the monster has trapped within his dream realm.
The monsters in this book are especially creepy, the 'best fiend' that impersonates a family dog and feeds on the misery of the family as they destroy themselves, things that watch and listen from the shadows that you can never get a true look at, that are just fleeting shadows you glimpse from the corner of your eye but are gone when you attempt to focus on them, and then there is the nightmare dream monster, who finds the thing that haunts you the most and traps you within your own dream hell loop, impossible to break put of, while the body sleeps.
Even with the haunting, creepiness of the story the same sense of humour is carried through, especially David, who is such a warm soul, you can't help but being drawn to him and enjoying his story. Stella is the same sassy, strong, driven woman from the first book, but with a renewed purpose there is something so much more human about her and despite her insistence that she was nothing but a tool for her coven to use, a weapon they wielded against the darker side of the uncanny, she proves time and time again she has the kindest, most human of hearts and it is really lovely to see.
I enjoyed Jakes cameo too, Jake is the main protagonist of the Spectral Detective series that is another uncanny London series I highly recommend.
Once again Heather Tracey is the perfect narrator to give a voice to Stella, she brings heart and warmth to the character as well as strength and wit. Her characterisation of the monsters is great, the nightmare monster really unnerved me. It was a joy to listen to.

I like the narrator and thought she did an excellent job with the voices, she had a way of making the come alive.
