Grave Digger Academy (Grave Digger Academy Book 1) by C.A. King – Review by Julie Johnson

Grave Digger Academy by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I almost didn’t pick this one up to read but thought, why not? I’m so glad I took a chance on it!

It’s Makayla’s first year to attend academy and she spent some time choosing her top 3 picks, just like all witches get to do when they come of age. Her picks are in and she waits but hears nothing prior to the start of school. She wakes up late and misses her ride so she’s doomed to take the bus. No one but losers ride the bus the school! She arrives at the door to the academy but isn’t sure which specific realm she’s assigned to. She quickly learns that she has to learn everything for herself. She’s from a strong family of witches who’ve been accepted to the best and most prestigious schools so she has high hopes.

Makayla soon learns that she didn’t get any of her top 3 choices, so the only other option was an assignment to the Grave Digger Academy. NO ONE applied or wanted the Grave Digger Academy and just wait until her dad hears about this…..her life is over!! Things start to come to light and Makayla begins learning more about her family, along with the mysterious amulet her mother gave her shortly before boarding the bus. Will she survive her first year? Even better, what about summer vacation after her first year?

This was a super fun read. There are elements of comedy (I laughed many times!), romance (very subtle), and paranormal activity. It is a very well written story that kept my attention throughout. I look forward to reading more books in this series!
