Max Porter #7-9
The Max Porter Box Set: Volume 3
Real history meets the supernatural as the Max Porter series continues in the third box set collection. Max, Sandra, and Drummond gain new allies, new enemies, and a whole new mess of trouble in the next 3 exciting novels -- all bundled into one volume!
SOUTHERN RITES (Book 7)
After spending years in North Carolina, Max and Sandra thought they knew how the world of ghosts, witches, and curses worked. With the aid of the ghost of 1940s detective Marshall Drummond, they had carved out a space to live, fought those who used magic to destroy others, and defeated the dreaded Hull family.
Now, without the Hulls, control of magic in North Carolina is in free-fall. Some groups claim to be in charge while others vie for power. When graves from the 1700s start breaking through to the surface, Max and his team find themselves caught in the middle of the fight, and every decision he makes could have consequences that reverberate through the entire magic world.
Then things take a truly dire turn - Max’s mother shows up for a visit.
SOUTHERN CRAFT (Book 8)
Max and the gang are no strangers to battling ghosts, witches, and curses. But when they are hired to free a family of witches who have been locked in their mansion by magic, they find themselves on strange ground. After all, helping witches never was in the job description.
But these witches are in trouble and that puts Max and the gang in a dangerous position. Things only get worse when it comes to light that there are evil powers and ancient curses at play. Especially because Max is certain his clients are hiding important information about the case.
Of course, they are. They’re witches.
SOUTHERN SPIRIT (Book 9)
Max Porter has had his share of odd cases. That goes with the territory when one of your partners is the ghost of a 1940s detective. But the idea of being hired by a witch coven to save witches seems wrong from the start, and it only gets worse.
Bad enough that Max can’t trust anything his clients say, but his own wife is being lured closer into becoming a real witch — something that terrifies Max and sows distrust. Add to that a mysterious group of witch hunters, a long dead curse brought back to cause havoc, and power players in the shadows, and it’s no wonder The Porter Agency is stretched to the breaking point.
Between fighting their enemies and fighting each other, this may end up the toughest case of their lives. One that could alter the balance of power among all witches for years to come.

The Green Trilogy takes the Max Porter series to new heights with fresh storylines and character development. Southern Rites starts things off strong, picking up where the Red Trilogy left off, with new twists and turns that keep the plot engaging. While the appearance of Max's mother in Southern Rites may not be everyone's cup of tea, the growth of the other characters more than makes up for it. Southern Craft ups the ante with the introduction of new witches and deeper explorations of the craft, and Sandra's character development is a highlight of the book. However, the Porter family's constant bickering and lack of communication can feel forced at times. Southern Spirit picks up right where Southern Craft left off, with the same level of intensity and action-packed scenes. While the continuation feels seamless, it also gives the impression that these two books could have been merged into one. The ongoing frustration with the Porter family's communication issues and bickering is still present, but the new developments in the story and relationships really bring it home. Overall, the Green Trilogy is a wild ride that fans of the series won't want to miss, even with its minor flaws.

I have read Box Sets Volumes 1, 2 & now 3! The more I read them, the more I love reading about Max, Sandra & Drummond (the ghost)! It is scary to think curses could be made & the amount of evil that could be out there! Bricks, clay earth & just about any object can be used!

More great adventures with Max and the growing family. I love how the characters continue to evolve and struggle with life's choices. I didn't want to put it down until I was done.
