About the author
Martha Carr
559 books766 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!

At the outset, it starts off like Lucy is like any other normal mom. But once we come to know that she is a Silver Griffin, the story becomes enjoyable. Then her activities as she tries to juggle her family life with her magical children and her life as a Silver Griffin was really awesome to read.
Enjoyed the family fun fantasy story.

This book was such a fun read I have to admit! I picked it out on a lark and thoroughly enjoyed it. What better than a magical crime fighting family. From the brilliant 8 year old techie, the 12 year old to so powerful beyond his own imagination, a loveabke and wonderful hubby, a suburban mom who fights magical creatures all the way down in the sewers but still makes it to PTA meets, and then there’s Eddie.. oh Eddie! Always plotting some mischief to get into. But the family that magically fights together will survive together to take down the nefarious plot of zero. From discovering a coven of witches once thought lost for centuries to navigating the world of parenthood, this family rocks.

2021 bk 266. What a fun read! A world in which magic exists, unknown to most of the folks around them. A world of underground tunnels and homes in the city of Los Angeles and a secret railway/trolley. A world in which mother of three is an agent of the Silver Griffins, the magic police of this underworld. As the story unfolds we see what it takes to be a wife, secret agent, and mother to three very powerful magic users and unfolder of mysteries. I will be looking for more, the children are so well done!

This will be a fun & humorous series!
I just finished & can't wait for the next installment! Lucy (&family) fight bad magicals taking advantage of others. But Lucy, bless her & her minivan, seems to be more prone to crazy fun than other Silver Griffin's do. She navigates her life with joy & seriousness, in equal measures. Wand in hand, she'd take on the World!
I'm really loving Lucy's story.

I have submitted this review after listening to the audiobook of this title. (Audible Membership)
A super mum that puts the average mother to shame. She not only handles the bad guys with a magical lean but also wangles a nerdy husband and three precocious children, all with their own genius level talents.

Better than three stars, not quite up to four in my opinion. Definite overtones of Harry Potter with not enough fantasy or too much depending on whether you're immersed in the mundane (realistic) or the fantasy world.

Family fighters
This is a very intriguing story with a magical family that inadvertently gets involved fighting a magical criminal. The mother already does this but the kids are more magically inclined than she is.

Great book!
This book was so good I couldn't put it down! I loved that the mom was in the Silver Griffins, doing PTA meetings and dealing with magical children's antics. The blend of reality and the magical world was superb! The misfit teens were an interesting touch and I got a kick out of the "mini-griffins". Can't wait to read the next in the series!

Secret Agent Mom is a romp
Working mothers rule. Anyone who manage a family, a career ( or “just a job “) and retain their sanity, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, is aces in any book. Lucy, the Silver Griffin, manages her duties at work and at home with a strong reliance on humor and love. A great read.

Fun new series to look forward to.
Fun read. Interesting characters and quick moving plot. Not a lot of mayhem and violence but it is not needed to make this an enjoyable read.

For those of you who have ever wondered if secret agents can balance work and family, this book answers your question. Well, sort of, because they use magic, which does make things easier. But, there's still office politics (I'm looking at you, Kelly) and getting called to your kid's school to deal with them when they get in trouble (though most people probably don't give their kids license to lie to the principal so the knowledge of magic stays hidden but I digress).
Anyway, the quirks from magic aside, this was a funny, feel-good story about a family going through life together, and dealing with the curve balls that life throws at them. Though, I will add that these curve balls are a little bit screwier than the traditional curve balls families get, but still...fun is had, so you should read the book.

Im only on chapter 2, but not sure I will continue.... I'm cringing at "Northern English accent" is she mancunian? No, liverpulian? No, why not say "Yorkshire accent"?
, she's driving a 'rivian', which I had to google, and its a $75k car??

Well, that was pretty much a disappointment. When I saw the title and the blurb I thought it sounded a bit like the Vampire for Hire series by J.R. Rain. Both are about a (soccer) mom having a secret live as a supernatural being. That is where the similarities ends though.
Samantha Moon in Vampire for Hire is a kick-ass person that I really enjoy reading about and although the stories, of course, revolves a lot around her family life the author doesn’t overdo that part and even manages to make it somewhat interesting.
At around 43% I was really bored and I’m afraid it didn’t improve as I read on. Most of the book is about Lucy’s family life which is … not very interesting. Lucy her self does not really have much charisma, nor does most of the other characters in the book, and she is indeed far from the competent Samantha Moon in Vampire for Hire.
I felt like Lucy was just stumbling around, mostly dealing with her kids and friends, with a few interruptions for throwing magic around when she encountered some bad guys. Also, I wasn’t to thrilled about the magic/action episodes either. The just felt… bland.
By the way, do urban fantasy writers get paid by Starbucks by the way? Every second book I read the main protagonist seems to have some itch for Starbucks coffee. But then I’m used to real French and Italian coffee so I guess I am a bit biased against that Starbucks and that crap that they call coffee.
It didn’t help my appreciation of the book that the author felt she had to add some completely unnecessary catering for the green fanatics and hybrid vehicles. Later on we got to a part where the bad guy in the book were supposedly changing Wikipedia articles to say that his company had a hand in the creation of DVD technology. I almost made me dropped the book right there. Apart from being ridiculous it also proves that the author is clueless about how Wikipedia works if she though that would actually work.
So needless to say I will not continue this series. Actually, I should probably have been a bit more cautious to begin with since this author usually seems to disappoint me although there are a few of her books that I have liked.

I really enjoyed this book. I normally get fed up when the story focuses so much on the characters home life and wish the author would just back to investigating but this was not the case with this book. The family life is such a big part of the story and in fact with out them it wouldn't work. Which is good because the author has created a great cast of characters and a lovely family, that I actually enjoyed spending time with. The fact that the children got up to mischief with there magic didn't hurt either. Each children is very different and unique, which brings a different skill set (and mayhem) to the table. The story did jump around as it followed a different character like finding out what the bad guy was planning, then at the school and dealing with bullies. This started out confusing, especially as it also introduced other characters besides the family but it soon came together and I loved every minute. I will definitely be getting the next book.
Being a mum to three children is hard enough but when you add in your a secret witch tasked with keeping humans safe and oblivious about magic and you get Lucy Heron. A silver Griffin agent despite all the toys, gadgets and spells her biggest weapon is her family. A child genius that can make anything, a prodigy wizard and a three year old who can turn himself into any animal, oh and her husband isn't bad with computers. Lucy will need all there help to stop her latest criminal mastermind who is quietly storing up a stock pile of magic to help him rule the world. Can the Heron family work together to stop him and still raise money at the school game sale?
I liked the narrator. It was unusual to have such a heavily accented main character but as she was ment to be Scottish it did make her stand out.

A magical mom works for a government agency to ensure magical artifacts are kept out of criminal hands as well as keep the existence of magic users a secret.
First, oh so many great stuff! This author collaboration successfully illustrated what family life would look like if mom, dad, and kids were all magically gifted. Even the “kids being kids” moments were very realistic and believable (if magic was assumed normal).
Then, there’s the working parent who has to try ( and fails slot) to balance her magical crime fighting with her home life . As an added bonus, the kids each have unique abilities that would seem near impossible to stay on top of. ( the youngest turned into a capybara while helping mom to bake….genius!)
You take all this not so ordinary home life, add in kids getting into mischief with magic and then bring in the Villain that pretty much is a description of a grotesque nightmare…what’s not to love about this tale!
I can’t actually think if anything I don’t like about this tale. I was skeptical at first with the thought if magical crime fighting but it really is much more than just “ let’s catch that bad guy”. A great intro to a series I am looking forward to. All my reviews are always voluntarily written.

I was enjoying the book, it was an ok fun read… And then we hit the scenes where she’s dealing with the tunnel kids. We get to a part about where the tunnel kids see how the protagonists children have developed their tunnels and make a jealous comment. Mother of the year protagonist tells the tunnel kids life’s not fair.
Seriously had to question what kind of soulless monster the author is? You’ve written this PTA super mom driving a $75,000 vehicle who is going to tell homeless children life’s not fair. Really?! And then to top it off the protagonist doesn’t do a thing to help them. I kept reading because I was sure this would be addressed, everybody lives happily ever after… yeah. Never happened. Apparently if you are a homeless child through no fault of your own you should just deal with it. And adults in a position to provide meaningful assistance should do nothing because that’s clearly what a loving, law enforcement officer, PTA mom would do.
While this is all fiction really have to wonder what kind of world the author lives in that this even seems reasonable?

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It's very family friendly, but there's enough mayhem and magic to keep anyone happy.
There were shades of Harry Potter in it, but only in that certain magical ideas reminded me of something similar there - but written in Martha and Michael's own unique, and inimitable, style! Lol
I think I'm going to enjoy seeing how things develop as I read this series, as it's got scope for so much fun, with all the family's differing skills.
As usual, the characters are wonderful, the plotline is so very pleasing, and it's got a ton of promise!
It's now silly O'Clock in the morning, again - as, once again, I couldn't put this book down until I finished it - which has become usual for a Carr/Anderle mix - so I'm going to go straight on to book two of this series: 'The Mom Identity ', and get it ready for me to read, as soon as I've had some sleep.
So, once I've read this next book, I'll catch you on the flip side, and let you know what I think about this second book!

A mom of three highly gifted witch kids is also a secret agent crime fighter, and her whole family soon gets involved with Silver Griffin business.
Zero is a one of a kind alien, old in corruption, and has his fingers in all kinds of hasty business, which runs him against anyone who believes in the law. When Zero starts messing with Wiki pages that the pre teen daughter had worked on, he brings himself to the attention of a super genius in the computer and machine field, it also gets him tagged by spy mom as a magical crook, like the ones she is usually assigned to deal with. Add in a bunch of street kids from magical backgrounds, a tribe of hidden earth witches, a teen witch so powerful he accidentally grows a jungle in a schoolyard, and a mini terror of a three year old who can morph into any animal and you end up with pandemonium that short circuits the bad guys.

This was a short, lighthearted and fun read. Some of the worldbuilding details about the hidden magical world will strongly remind you of "Harry Potter". And the magical family will likely remind you of "The Incredibles".
Pacing was good, something keeps happening to make you turn the pages. There were plenty of POV changes — they were fine in isolation, but it felt like too many for such a short book.
Characters wise, I liked Lucy and her adorable family. I especially liked the slice-of-life scenes involving food, exercises, school, small talk with colleagues, etc. Not much to write about the main antagonist other than helping the plot to move forward.
Overall, I'd recommend the book if you are looking for a light read featuring a happy and supportive magical family.

I am so glad I have found this series of books! I've missed my Martha Carr and Michael Anderle collaborations. My husband got me started on other books and I had forgotten how much fun these two people put into words.
I see I have missed slot of goid books and guess I'll spend more time reading and less time with housework and my diamond paintings, and my glass painting, and my sewing. But will have to make time for doctor visits. At least I can make good use of the office wait times!
I highly recommend any and all of the books this pair have written. I especially love the Oricerian series. I may be old but I still love good sci-fi.

This star rating was hard for me to decide on. It isn't low because it isn't a well written story. It is low because this book is not my cup of tea. If you love books about moms & families working paranormal mysteries together while living in a world full of non-magical beings also, then you will likely love this book. Also, keep in mind that each chapter is from a different POV, from Lucy & her family (including their 3 year old, Eddie - so cute!) and the other supporting characters. At first, it was a little hard for me to follow. I didn't see the correlation between some of them. But hang in there, as it does all come together in a very well plotted way.

Fantastically boring. I’ve thought of twenty other words and “boring” is where I landed. It’s the realest depiction of Mom-Life in a non-boring-non-normal universe.
Following Lucy Herons life as a Silver Griffon, but mostly as a Mom. Dealing with awnry creatures and homework, bake sales and magical totems. She lives a modest life in LA with Husband and three kids amongst the Mundane.
The bad guy in my head is Jaba the hut made of the leaning tower of cheeze-a from the goofy movie but also kinda looks like Cat R. Waul from fifel goes west… but obviously ancient, giant, nefarious and teaming with magic.
Spy Kids meets Bedknobs and Broomsticks?

This book has an extensive interesting cast and a good plot line. Each chapter is a different angle to the story, and it's all clearly leading to an interesting conclusion. I gave it 4 stars because of this.
I took off one star because the whole plot and characters require keeping track of, and these days I read stuff like paranormal cozy mysteries because they're easy and funny. I have way too much of a burden in my personal life, so I lost interest in keeping track of all the stuff in this book about 5 chapters in. If that doesn't bother you, give this book a try.

I wish I had written this!
I know, it seems odd to have this statement as a headline, but I am serious.
I enjoyed the wild ride with the Herons. They are still just a Mom and Dad and three almost every day kids, intent to doing good, making others responsible for their behavior but not needing copious amounts of overwhelming sweetness.
Since I didn’t know the joy of being the author, can I apply for the job of the slightly different aunt or grandmother? Please?

Secret Agent Mom
I liked it. Nice light read. Good characters developing nicely. Nasty villain. Plus a bake sale. What more do you want? My only minor complaint is that we got a little bit of everything. Next time I suggest that the main story is more of the focal point. Lucy is a typical mother having to attend to a dozen things at the same time. That is understood. But I would prefer to have more action and less bake sale.

This is the first book in the Case Files of an Urban Witch by Martha Carr and Michael Anderle.
Lucy Heron is not your average mom. She is also a witch AND a Silver Griffin fighting supernatural crime. This book is alot about how she balances being a mom with fighting crime and then how her family and their unique abilities can assist her with her mission. It is the first book in a series and just based on this I assume it will be a great one, I truly enjoyed this fascinating action adventure fantasy.
Definitely pick this up if you are a magical urban fantasy mystery lover.

This book is alot about how she balances being a mom with fighting crime and then how her family and their unique abilities can assist her with her mission. It is the first book in a series and just based on this I assume it will be a great one, I truly enjoyed this fascinating action adventure fantasy.
Definitely pick this up if you are a magical urban fantasy mystery lover.
