My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grave Digger Academy II is the second book in the series, and sees Makayla return to the school no one really wants to be at for another year. This series is best enjoyed in order, so do start with the first book! It’s perfect for YA and teen readers who enjoy the magic school trope.
In this book, Makayla and her classmates have to dig deep for whatever enthusiasm and affection they can summon for their school in order to succeed in the Inter-Academy Games. They had all hoped that by the start of their second year they would have transferred to pretty much any other school and now they have to prove themselves against the students who got into those schools in the first place.
This is an exiting continuation of the series! Makayla has a lot to learn, and there are plenty of mysteries to unravel. Makayla is still coming to terms with what she’s learnt about her family history, and trying to get more information to help her understand this past and how it impacts her.
It was good to see some more of Makayla’s brothers in this book! Caz and Tye are interesting characters, and it’s fun to get more family moments.
This book gets five stars from me. It’s an enjoyable series, I’d definitely recommend it!

I am immediately going back now to start book 1, this was such a good, fun and interesting book.

MaKayla is going into her second year at Grave Digger Academy, and like her, no one was able to transfer out. The inter-academy games are this year and the Academy HAS to win to keep their doors open, so it’s probably better to already know each other. The games start and it becomes obvious quickly that something strange is happening. (As I have not yet read book 1, a lot felt a bit strange but it was all very interesting and fun)

Very cool writing, very cool read, and I’m looking forward both to year three as well as learning a bit more about the characters in book 1!

I love that the Dedication is the same!
The amazing world building continues into this installment. And the character building is even better. I really appreciated that now that we know Makayla, the author focused on fleshing out Caz and Tye more. It’s nice to have Makayla actually interacting with her brothers (and of course her friends). I immediately bought the third installment and pre-ordered the fourth. I cannot wait to dive into this wonderful and dangerous world even further!

I have read a few books from this author and I absolutely love her writing style. She captures you in the story right from the beginning. This is the second book to the very addictive series called the grave diggers academy. You should read the first book because it begins when the first book ends. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started reading it immediately. I wish that one day this would be a tv show. I can’t wait to read the next book.

MaKayla is ready for her second year of grave diggers academy. She is so excited to see what this year will bring. Makayla is called into the headmistress’ office to talk and she is told that she has to help the school out. Makayla and her friends are having to compete in the intra academy face off. They are going to have to compete with the other schools and if they lose her school will be closed down for good. Will Makayla and her friends have the power to beat the other schools or will it be the end to the grave diggers academy?

Join Makayla and friends as they learn the magic to keep the dead in their graves and about the importance of Grave Digger Academy itself!
I have been wanting to start this series Ever since I first saw it and man I was not disappointed! Now I can’t wait to start the next book! I was hooked and completely drawn into Makayla’s world of ghouls and the undead! Grave Digger Academy is a super fun read that feels almost nostalgic! It’s so easy to be swept away by King’s writing style and dialogue as well as the relatable emotions of the characters. From the pressure put on Makayla to live up to her siblings to the loyalty of her new found friends like Leo. The magic and story line was perfectly eerie and dark, great for an October read! C.A. King weaves a creepy tale with tons of action, mystery, suspense, and humor that people of all ages are sure to love! I highly recommend this book!

This is the second book in the Grave Digger Academy series by C.A. King. Makayla and her friends are back at the academy. She’s hoping this year things will be a bit more normal, but it sure doesn’t start off that way! A portal that shouldn’t work, an inter-academy competition, and more stones being revealed…not a simple year once again. I love her character and I’m glad that more questions are being answered from book 1. I would definitely read the first book before getting in to this one. I’m hooked and excited for book 3!

It’s the start of Makayla’s second year at the Grave Digger Academy. A big announcement is made that affects the entire school. With budgets being tight, every student will have to compete in the Inter-Academy competition in order for their school to stand a chance to stay open. Makayla was hoping this would be an easy year but she soon finds out that it won’t be. Can she survive this second year of school? Will the Grave Digger Academy be able to make a good showing and keep the school open?

This was a fun, quick read continuing on with Makayala’s story. While this is a book that focuses on supernatural beings, it also includes a lot of humor. I found myself laughing out loud several times while reading this book!

Makayla and the crew are back for their second year at Grave Digger Academy.

This book picks up where the first one left off…so you need to read the first one in order to not be lost.

From the beginning of this book, there is still mystery around why Makayla is at the school…and why she can do things that others her year should not be able to! This year, her and her friends must participate in the inter-academy games. A win would bring funding to the school…but a loss could mean their doors close forever. If that happens, who will make sure the dead stay where they are supposed to? And…how will Makayla respond to having to go up against her brothers in the games?

I am really enjoying this series and Makayla and her group make me laugh along the way. Makayla is stronger than she realizes and I love that she is not afraid to go against the grain to figure things out. I will definitely be looking forward to the next book!

I loved the first book and moved on to this one with high hopes. It didn’t disappoint. Makayla is back in year two at the Grave Digger Academy. This years competition is more important than ever as a win means the academy remains open and a loss means the doors of the school will close. But more importantly the competition seems to have been rigged and the plot thickens as more Aegis stones surface.
The characters are lovable, well developed and have great interactions. The storyline is amazing and makes for a great read. I can’t wait to read book 3.

Grave Digger Academy is not the place anyone wants to end up. Last year did not go well and they need to win the inter-academy competition to keep the academy open. Makayla and her friends need to win, but something is wrong with the competition. This book was a quick enjoyable read.

By C.A. King
4 Stars

This is another exciting book in this series. It’s Makayla’s second year at the academy and it’s going to be filled with just as much drama and adventure as the first. The inter academy games is happening this year and the headmistress gives Makayla no choice but to sign up. So much is riding on these games. Losing would ensure the school closes for good. What would the world do without grave diggers to keep the dead six feet under?

I really like Makayla. She’s genuine, curious and has a mind of her own. She’s not afraid to go against the flow of what everyone considers the norm. She’s grown in this novel and is stronger than she realizes. I love the variety of helpers that she is collecting. The rest of the characters are quirky and unique adding humour to the story. This is a fun and entertaining book. I’m looking forward to reading more of this series.

We are now into year 2 of Grave Digger Academy for Makayla. Her family finally treats her like herself again after they hear what her mother has been hiding. She knows the academy is keeping her there since they know her ancestry, so she’s going to make this school the best it can be for her. There are academy competitions coming up against all the other schools, so no one was transferred as they need all the bodies they can get. She’s with her friends, and they go through a lot more together in year 2! Give this series a shot!

Sometimes second books in a series don’t live up to the quality of the first book, but I thought the author did a good job making the transition feel smooth. I thought the second book was just as enjoyable as the first. It was nice to already have an understanding of the main characters and basic plot, but getting to see the growth into the second year was interesting. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Overall this is a story that really picked up towards the end. The beginning is slower and at times confusing about what is going on. It just did not seem to flow well in the beginning or middle. It really picked up and made more sense towards the ending. I feel this storyline (which is truly different) has a lot of places it could go and intriguing characters that could be built upon. I liked the ideas of getting to the school the games and the other kids attitudes. The familiars are cute and the squirrel idea..fantastic.

This was the second book to the series. I absolutely loved the first one and this one did not disappoint. The way the author writes is really easy to follow, and the paranormal aspect is really intriguing. This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, from the action, suspense, and kids getting into shenanigans. These kids getting into some interesting situations, with mischief, making new allies, and bumping into old enemies. It really kept you not knowing what to expect. Absolutely loved this author and her amazing writing, can’t wait to see what be in store next time.

Grave Digger Academy is a new series to me, and I’m loving it. It is easy to read, but holds my interest. It is written for young adult, but I enjoy it in my 30s. This book continues where book 1 left off, as Makayla and her friend return to Grave Digger Academy for their second year. I think you need to read book one to understand what is going on, its not a stand alone. But the books are quick enough, just read them both. The 2nd book had just as much excitement as the first book did. I wish there was more details revealed around the Academy Games, but it was enough to understand the gist and enjoy it. I wish there was more description of how the treasures were discovered at the other schools, and more story to the secondary characters. We really only see what Makayla is doing. I want more on Griffin too!! I want to know his backstory, and look forward to book 3.

MaKayla and the rest of the group are back for year 2 at Grave Digger Academy, which means, no one has been able to transfer out. Eh- that’s probably a good thing since this year, the inter-academy games are happening and with Grave Digger Academy being small, but also on the Crones’ radar, they’re going to need all hands on deck-er-shovels?

Winning the games is really the only way to keep the doors of Grave Digger Academy open, so the choice isn’t really there for this group of students but when the game starts it’s clear something isn’t right. Can the competition end before it’s too late or are the gravedigger’s going to have a new job coming up?

Book 2 was so fun! I really enjoyed reading about year two, but it felt very rushed. The timeline with this book made the school year feel like it started and ended within days of each other, which according to the ending, isn’t what happens.

I would have loved to have more preparation for the competition and more character interactions throughout this book, but overall I’m quite happy with book 2 and can’t wait to see what year 3 brings!

This second book in the series picks up where the first book left off. I liked this book a little better than the first; the characters have more depth, the story doesn’t feel quite as rushed overall, and the reader learns a little more about the other Academies. I really liked that Makayla’s brothers make more of an appearance in Grave Digger Academy II. While Makayla is the youngest and the only girl in her family, she seemed extremely isolated and lonely in the first book; but in this second installment the reader sees that’s not really the case. Her brothers seem to be very protective of Makayla. I love C. A. King and can’t wait for the next book in the Grave Digger Academy series!

Grave Digger Academy year 2 is the continuation of this fun new series by C.A King. The story follows Makayla as she begins her second year at her new school, after the drama of the previous term she is hoping for a quiet year however that is not to be. The Inter Academy Games are about to start, and Makayla and her friends become reluctant participants but there is a gate crasher that is determined to change the rules. I liked this book, it is a fun concept and I really liked finding out more about the other characters such as Frankie and Makayla’s brothers, you also learn a little more about some of the other academies which was a good way of expanding this new magical world. I just wish this book had been longer, I got so engrossed in it, I wasn’t prepared for it to end. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Makayla is in year two of the paranormal academy, she knows she is not going to be placed anywhere other then the Grave Diggers. She has accepted her fate but when the headmistress signs her up for the inter-academy face off she knows trouble is just beginning. Will Makayla survive year two?

Another terrific story in this series. I like Makayla, she has grown from book one to two. I think she i s a great character who is finding herself while growing up. A really entertaining series that has me curious as to what is next.

Makayla is about to start her second year at Grave Digger Academy. She and all her classmates are back for more magic and shenanigans. This year everything is on the line for them during an inter-academy tournament. If they don’t pull out all the stops to get that coveted funding promised as a prize the school could be closed down for good. What will happen to her then? None of the other schools had accepted her when she first applied so GDA was her only choice. There isn’t supposed to be any kind of interference, but things start to go haywire once the competition starts. Will she and her friends be able to trust one another and come together once again to win the competition? Or will they end up turning on one another in hopes of finding a better school?

This is the first book in the graver digger academy series. This book had me so invested into it from the very first page of the book. I loved every second of it. I was not able to put the book down until I had finished it from start to finish and it had to be done in one sitting.
There is a reason why people don’t believe in monsters and it’s not because zombies, vampires, mummies, and ghosts don’t exist…
Welcome to Grave Digger Academy- the last place anyone wants to end up.
It’s Makayla’s first year in the paranormal academy system. When all three of the schools she applies to deny her entry, there’s only one left. Unfortunately, she’s more interested in finding a way out of Grave Digger Academy than in learning its curriculum.
Gravediggers actually do the digging. Grave Diggers, however, keep buried bodies where they belong—six feet under.
This year’s students are about to learn corpses can be temperamental, and when the dead refuse to cooperate, there’s Hell to pay.
Im excited to read the other books in this series in the near future.

This YA paranormal sequel is such a fun and interesting read! If you’re into books like Harry Potter, you will find the GDA series as equally as intriguing. The main character, Makayla, is entering her 2 year at the academy and once again, finds herself in a bit of trouble. Her school is still considered one of the worst and when Makayla and her friends are nominated for a competition, she has the perfect opportunity to bring a bit of prestige to the school. However, Makayla has to be careful, she is under careful watch from the headmistress, and doesn’t want to disappoint her family.<br /><br />Once again, the author did a wonderful job of world building and creating interesting and fun characters. If you like magic, action, and/or y.a. novels, this is the book/series for you! <br />

After reading book one in this paranormal series I was ecstatic to finally pick up book two to see what happens next. This book definitely builds off the first book so while it could be read solo you might feel lost with why some things happen in this book and who the characters are.

This book sees Makayla and her classmates return for year two at the academy except they are summoned early and a portal that shouldn’t have taken them through again does just that. Already starting the year off with more mysteries than answers to her family’s history and just why she is at grave digger academy in the first place. This year is the inter-academy games,a competition between all the magical academies, which if won could put GDA back on the map but if lost could have them close their doors forever. Being the only place that took Makayla in, albeit for unknown reasons, she is willing to fight hard to save the one place that made room for her. With competition from those closest to her, namely her brothers at other academies, how deep do family ties go? What about Makayla and her helpers, are they really the game changers? Will Makayla ever solve the mystery of her ancestry and why exactly things are attracted to her?

This was an amazing build off of the first book. I loved the characters and learning more about them but also the world building that the author has carefully crafted. A super quick read, that just has you turning pages to find out what happens next. I personally cannot wait to grab book three just so I can see what comes next for Makayla and the Grave Digger Academy!

Totally loved this book! I have already been searching out the next one in the series.

I have always had a fascination with witchcraft and magic so this book completely appealed to me. Even though it was YA I really enjoyed it; even at my age…

This is the first book in the series and was incredibly well written. It set the stage for the next book however was a complete story in it’s own right.

I highly recommend this read.

This is the second book in the series and it flows into the second year at Grave Digger Academy. Makayla is starting to find her way, she’s got the most extraordinary helpers a witch can get! This is also the year for the Inter-Academy games! To show school spirit, Makayla and her friends are competing with all of the other academies.

This YA series is great for people of all ages! The story line is great and flows from one book to the next!

Definitely recommend!
