Grave Digger Academy III (Grave Digger Academy Series) by C.A. King – Review by Ayla Phipps

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

The shadows are darker this year and everything leads to more questions. This is the third book in the Grave Digger Academy (GDA) and yes, to get a full understanding of the story, plot, characters it is best to read them in order as each book is a continuation of the events in the previous book.
Makayla’s actions in the previous book led to extremes on both sides. Her family name is now well known and Grave Digger Academy is no longer seen as the end of the road but where heroes go. So much hype leads to her older brothers escorting her to school this year and discovering the terrifying journey just to reach the grounds. Only not hearing from her friends or her helpers all break is just the beginning. The gargoyles that are ever present watching the entrance of the school are missing, something Makayla notices immediately. Moreover, there are even fewer students this year than before, teachers and students disappearing, including Frankie. While Griffin has reappeared his words from previous books about them forgetting him Makayla is able to hold on to a feeling of him not quite a memory but its something. Some see her as a hero, but others think she is working for the other side, regardless of the fact she has handed over the stones each time. The Crones have plans for her and Headmistress Mary Meet, they seem determined to make both go down with GDA good or bad to the very end, not allowing them the same deal as others to transfer out. Visions attack her from the moment she steps on the school grounds, her brothers shocked and confused but with no choice forced to return to their own school.
Will Makayla succeed in finding everyone that disappeared? Where are her helpers? If she wins what will be the price? Once again, the incredible C.A. King pulls you back into the shadows to learn the secrets hidden in their depths. The characters, while the same, have evolved so much since year one and only continue to grow as they learn and fight for good. Unable to put it down from start to finish it always leaves me needing more answers when I finish feeling like it wasn’t long enough. Heart racing as I hurry to book four, Grave Digger Academy IV. The suspense continues.
