“Outstanding ending to an amazing series!”
(Hardback)
by Sammy-Joe Smith
This was the MOST amazing ending to the trilogy we could have wished for! I thought I knew where this book was going to go and O boy was I wrong. I was shook reading this (in all the best ways). it made me laugh, squeal, scream, cackle, want to throw the book across the room! Basically the ride of my life. The crew are as badass as usual and honestly I did not see anything coming. Dawson has obviously know exactly what she was going to do to us from book 1 and oh wow she executed it to perfection! I do not know what I will do without this series now, I have been along for the ride since day 1 where I saw this book advertised on booksta. I cannot wait to see what Dawson does next. And yes I have not talked about the book much, because i do not want to spoil even a single moment. Other thank you all knowing the 90's references are still on point in book 3!
“Hell to pay! Simply amazing finale!”
(Hardback)
by Damien Kelly
The final instalment of the HMRC saga sees the end of the world. I mean, we saw it coming, but we kinda hoped… Ciara had been unmasked as her sister Niamh’s killer, but she’d also rid the world of evil warlock Dabney Hale. And she’d managed to reconcile herself with Leonie and Elle at the last minute, undoing the terrible transformation that Elle had visited on her cheating husband. Things were undoubtedly messy, but the depths of these relationships had been laid bare, despite all the damage that had been done, suggesting that coven was thicker than blood and water both, and some way out might yet be possible. But Lucifer is cleverer than that. Leviathan will rise, and he’s not the only one. The conclusion to the story of the Hebden witches isn’t as cleanly plotted as the first two books, but then the end of the world is a mess, ok? Getting around the apocalyptic issues means more than one magical McGuffin getting shoehorned into the plot, and then an extremely Dr Who timey-wimey third act that struggles with its rigid determinism, but is at least faithful to the losses the trilogy has experienced ahead of it. More vital to the impact of the ending is the emotional punches that start coming from page one and simply do not stop. No one is spared the pain of the battle with Satanis, but there are also a hell of a lot of satisfying endings as well. The closing is *literally* a gem. A very worthy end to a simply brilliant series. There is also a tantalising option for future stories right at the end: bring me the Fortress Files, witches!
“Love Juno and love this book.”
(Hardback)

I was thrilled to get the chance to read the final book of the HMRC through NetGalley. Witches aren’t for everyone but for me I think Juno Dawson could write about anything. She just has a way with words. I loved this ending. The final battle and the each character was wrapped up nicely. Can’t wait to see what she writes next.
“Phenomenal Finale”
(Hardback)
by Emma Renshaw
A phenomenal finale. Everything is on the line for HMRC and I loved every page of it, I’ll miss the characters, the humour, the twists and the magic. Thank you so much to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an ARC.
“Fantastic finale to the series”
(Hardback)
by Rebecca Taunton
Was chuffed to get an advance copy of Human Rites by Juno Dawson: the third in her Her Majesty’s Royal Coven series. Burned through it - fast-paced, funny and emotional. Think this was my favourite of the three by far!
