Lucy Heron is a mom with three kids, and a baker with a happy marriage in sunny Echo Park. She’s also Silver Griffins Agent 485.

The suburbs will never be the same.

Fighting supernatural crime from a minivan while keeping the magical world a secret is a fulltime job. Then there’s the PTA bake sale and the neighborhood barbecue.

Hard to balance even with a wand.

And now, a monstrous loan shark is spreading his shadowy empire from a hidden kemana. Mix in a tribe of ancient witches and tunnel-dwelling magical misfits.

Turns out, Los Angeles is hiding a lot of secrets just underneath your feet.

Can Lucy put the bad guys behind Trevilsom bars and still get home in time for family dinner? What are her magical kids up to and do they have their own spy network?

    Okay, I'm a late bloomer who's a big DC comics fan and spent my childhood summers on the Jersey shore in the U.S. but have had a weird wanderlust to live 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! There's more at www.marthacarr.com.

    Michael Anderle (ok, weird talking about myself in the 3rd person) (1967-Hopefully a long time from NOW) was born in Houston, Tx. A very curious child, he got into trouble - a lot. What to do with an inquisitive mind when he was grounded? Read!

    Ok, done with all of that 3rd person stuff.

    In the first 20 years, I mostly read Science Fiction and Fantasy. In the last 10 years I have enjoyed Urban Fantasy and Military Fiction. With this background, I've been blessed with creating The Kurtherian Gambit series, a well-selling, and fan loved, collection of stories.

    The fans have propelled these stories beyond my wildest imagination and they should get all of the credit for sharing with friends, family and occasionally the random person on the street. They are fantastic!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun and light read
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2021

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 if 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow start for me

I started this book several months ago, and then I just couldn't pick it back up until last week. After a few more slow chapters I was reminded why practically anything written with Michael Anderle is going to be solid. Maybe I was going through a seasonal phase 🤷 I loved the rest of the book and will be happily reading more of this series shortly. I also appreciate the recipe in the back of the book, and hope Michael's 3rd book in the series he's working on is named something like Campbell's Soup for the (insert appropriate noun here) Soul. I've known my neighbors well enough to stay off the neighborhood social media page, ewww 😂
Summary, great fun, great story, unless you're in a weird mom funk.

Congratulations to Martha Carr and Michael Anderle for this amazing series. It’s extremely hard to find such interesting and exciting authors who not only write intelligently but also provide top rated plots, characters and excitement in the stories. I’m really looking forward to the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely, family friendly magic!
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2021

So, in this first book of the series, we meet Lucy Her on, Silver Griffin 485, and her wonderful family. Husband Charlie, works repairing tech, both mundane and magical; son Dylan, who is a crazy powerful young nature wizard; daughter Ashley, who is a single digit aged tech genius; and last, but not least, meet 3 year old Eddie, a wonderfully adept shape changer. Sounds fun? Well, Lucy handles everything like a pro, without pause to have this family working well together! Not everything in their world is so family friendly, and that is when SG485 pulls on her pendant grabs her wand and gets to work. This is a fun, sometimes scary, look into the Oriceran world before magic was public knowledge, and it is so heartwarming and laugh out loud fun. I can't wait to see what Lucy and her brood get into next book!!! Happy reading!

Lucy is a silver griffin and the family are all magical, or genius.. While Lucy does mundane silver griffin activities her ffamily is busy growing and becoming a power of its own. A truly fun read with lots of insights into the family dynamics and how much it takes to raise magicals. Love of the family can work. Enjoy your read. There are villians, unlikely heroes and even the typical bureacracy problems.

Too cute, nice read, but not really my jam. Don't think I will be reading more of this, seems more aimed at the younger readers. But do recommend it to anyone into grafic novel genre.

A good rollicking adventure that uses the entire family dynamic. Also includes the babysitter. Set in the "before they let the magical world be known" era. The action keeps moving with a nice family feel. Lucy is a hoot. Eddie can hoot. Enjoy...

I LOVED this book! The main characters were fun, quirky, weird, and a family. The story made magic almost believable, and I just loved it. The plot was easily followed, and the ending was extremely satisfying. I cannot recommend this book, highly enough.

Loved this book. It was back to the feel of my favourite Martha Carr/M Anderle series “the Leira chronicles”. Writing is fun and as a mom I can relate to the kids antics. Will read more.

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.

But it was entertaining until the end. Them it was horrifiing. This is not the Incredables is it? I mean it seems to be written for an adult? The mom is the star after all. What kind of $%!£ mom lets a 3 year old (or an 8 year old, or a 12 year old) into a situation with criminals and guns? What kind of law enforcement is like yes I want child consultants, never mind labour laws and human decency those kids have power! Nope nope nope!
