Witches of Pressler Street #3
Spellbound Magic
What does a trio of witches have that we don’t have? A blood bond fused in ancient magic broken apart by sibling rivalry.
But the Hadstrom sisters are running out of time. Magic in Austin is undergoing some serious changes. None of them are good.
The grackles have disappeared from their perch along the tree lines and no one is keeping watch.
Austin’s in for a serious communication blackout and the sisters are on their own.
Can the witchy sisters come together to destroy the remaining energy cores before magic falls silent?
Danger is creeping ever closer to home. The Gorafrex is after Nickie. Will she be able to keep her family secrets from Chuck?
Potions are right up Emily’s alley, but can she control it?
Can the witches put the pieces of the puzzle together and get the Gorafrex back in its prison before it’s too late?

About the author
Martha Carr
560 books765 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!

Between doing all they can to work out why the Messenger Grackles have suddenly fallen out of the sky, landing all over their house on Pressler Street, and who seem to have decided that pecking away at their siding, is the best thing to do, the Hadstrom Sisters are beginning to worry, as the Magic that they've relied on their entire lives, is starting to really play up.
Laura really needs things to return as they were, as she and Nathan - the new Professor of Applied Physics, and part-Kashgar - have started looking into Runes, as a way of capturing, and imprisoning, the Gorafrex, again.
Nicki, is getting anxious, as she is due to go to an appointment that her boyfriend, and Manager, Chuck, had arranged, with his friend Dave, who is the owner of a Recording Studio, and who wants to sign Nicki up to make an Album of her own brand of Blues Music.
Then Emily, feeling rather dizzy at the idea of going on a date with John, is having problems at work, where the Customers who have eaten the Soup that she made, are taking things rather beyond polite society's version of decent behaviour!
All three Sisters are desperate to catch the Gorafrex, and stop him from killing any more Witches or Wizards, as he is using their Power to store it, so he can use his former Prison - an Escape Pod - to blast off of the Earth ship, and go to pastures new!
But, with magic getting ever worse, can the three Sisters get it together in time, both to rescue the Gorafrex's latest prisoner, who happens to be Dave, and to stop this monster from hurting anyone else?
This book was both funny, and serious, in turn, and it really is showing just how far the Sisters are determined to go, in order to protect everyone from the Gorafrex.
But the story stopped mid-motion, so I'm determined to go straight on to read Book Four: 'Magic Trinity', to find out just what they can do, to capture the Gorafrex and, hopefully, imprison him back into his previous place.
So, once I've read this, I'll catch you on the flip side, to let you know what I think about it!

Not too great
I'm just not loving it. While I do like some of their banter between sisters there was too much and they made a joke out of everything. Not enough serious to see the plot very well. There are magical all over the place but not a word, right the birds sorry don't buy that one. And the absolute lack of care or urgency for Dave or any of the victims. The plots not holding together for me. I'm a fan I really enjoyed many other of your books.

Trouble just keeps coming
The Hadstrom sisters can't catch a break!!! With one Peabrain awakened, and along for the ride, another magical helping out, and trying to make time with one sister, this fight just got that much harder. A few more grammatical errors in this book, but still a fun read.

I felt like I read a whole lot and didn't really get too much from it. The plot felt sloppy and disconnected. The characters didn't really seem to feel any pressure to take care of things. It was more important to go on a date than save someone's life? A number of other strange incidents. Maybe I don't need to read the other 5 books to get to the end of this one.

Spellbound Magic
So appropriate for Austin to have a little( understatement) weirdness going on. Magical weirdness and the Hadstrom sisters are having to come up with different methods to deal with magic going awry. How are they going to keep Magic from the Peabrains ?

Hadstrom sisters continue their quest
The three sisters are making progress, but still haven't captured the gorafrex. Magic is still messed up and the girls are on track to fix both situations. Can't wait for the next installment!

Magic is going crazy
The Hadstrom sisters are destroying energy cores, researching what they need to do in order to imprison the Gorafrex again, and in between all of the chaos they try to live their lives. Another crazy, interesting story in the series.

Wow - interesting concept
I like the thought that earth is a huge spaceship and witches are originally from another planet. This story line can go very far with the three sisters and maybe a side story in Speed!

Muito romance e muita fantasia neste terceiro livro da série, que continua me fazendo lembrar muito de “Charmed”. Na torcida para que ao final tudo se resolva, mas acho que ainda tem muita coisa para acontecer antes que as irmäs bruxas derrotem seu grande inimigo.

Mis happen magic
This is a very interesting story about three witches whose magic is starting to react in strange ways that are unusual.
