About the author
Martha Carr
577 books776 followersOkay, I'm a late bloomer who's a big DC comics fan and spent my childhood summers on the Jersey shore but I was born under a wandering star and have lived in different parts of America ever since. That's enough about me. Need to feel inspired today? Looking for something to make you root for an ordinary hero? I'm all about that in everything I write.
I love a good tale that makes me wonder about things and I love a story even more that leaves me feeling inspired or like I'm capable of doing more than I realized. That's my goal with everything I've ever written. Some of the stories I tell involve twisting, turning thrillers and others have a lot of magic.
There's something to be said for getting lost in another world and coming out the other side feeling a little better about yourself or the possibilities in front of you. That's basically the best part of life in a nutshell, no matter what kind of story I'm setting out to tell.
Thank you for checking out my stories!

I'm afraid that this book wasn't the improvement that I had hoped for.
This is so strange, that a series written by Martha Carr and Michael Anderle, for me, just has too much going on, with some of it making no sense.
This continuation from Book Two has Charlotte helping Alex with a case of missing siblings.
The young brother and sister are being brought up by their Grandparents, with no sign of their parents.
The two children are home schooled, but go to a music shop for lessons, and also hang out with their music teacher, a woman calling herself Ginger Haus, in her sweet shop, for hours at a time, with the Grandparents not seeming to care that they are wandering around. Malls in the City, with their ages being eleven and nine.
They have also befriended an elderly widow who, when she doesn't see them for three days running, reports them missing to the Police - and it is Alex who has been handed the case.
After some investigation, Charlotte is convinced that magic is involved, but Alex, after suffering for a few nights in a row with nightmares, that are making him increasingly crotchety, doesn't believe her, and the two of them become increasingly snappy with each other, having strange sort-of arguments that make no sense to me.
I honestly can't work out their somewhat bizarre behaviour towards each other. Whether it is meant to be this way, or if I've missed a vital clue that explains the way they are presently behaving.
It's as though they have gone back to their teen years, where it's hard to work out their own emotions, let alone someone else's.
But, when Alex and Charlotte meet Ginger Haus, Charlotte is convinced that she is, in fact, the Witch from the Gingerbread House story from EverAfter!
Like I said, this book has me puzzled, as I can't work out if I've missed something vital to the story, or whether it's as unfinished as it feels to me.
I'll be going straight on to Book Four of this series: 'Spells, Wishes, & Death', in the hope that it will make more sense and, once I've finished reading it, I'll catch you on the flip side, to let you know what I think of it!

Candy witch
Charlotte is helping Alex with a case of missing children, only to figure out that magic is involved. Alex is also having nightmares and not quite acting himself which has Charlotte, Sir Thomas, and Cat worried. The characters in this book are fun, as most of them are based on fairy tales and I enjoy the contemporary take on the stories. I am looking forward to the next book to see what other troubles they get into and how this one gets resolved.

Gingerbread House
They are looking for missing children. When they go to find the music teacher they find out she also works at a candy store. Could she be the witch that lived in the Gingerbread House!

not their normal work
The writing is very disjointed and confused, which is not normal for these authors. Also far too wordy, seems to get lost quite a bit.
