Ghosts of the American Revolution, a family trapped by magic, the most powerful coven in the Carolinas - all this and more in the series that takes real history and mixes it with ghosts, witches, curses, and even Max's mother. Real history meets the supernatural as the Max Porter series continues in this third collection. Max, Sandra, and Drummond gain new allies, new enemies, and a whole new mess of trouble in the next three 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.
Stuart Jaffe is the madman behind The Max Porter Paranormal Mysteries, the Nathan K thrillers, The Ridnight Mysteries, the Parallel Society novels, The Malja Chronicles, The Bluesman, Founders, Real Magic, and much more. He trained in martial arts for over a decade until a knee injury ended that practice. Now, he plays lead guitar in a local blues band, The Bootleggers, and enjoys life on a small farm in rural North Carolina. For those who have kept count in the past, I'm no longer listing the animals. As we've gotten older, we don't keep the zoo we once did, and it seems silly to list a more normal grouping of pets. So, yeah, we got dogs and cats and chickens (and a couple other things). Still, the chickens will not be permitted in the house.
