This is the first book in the Grave Digger Academy series. This is a series that I’ve been wanting to read for a while now, so I was happy to finally get the chance. Although short, this was still a fun, enjoyable read. I enjoyed the plot and felt the overall story was written well, creating a magical world to get sucked into. I liked the characters, particularly Makayla. I felt for her when she started school at a place she had not intended and starts off so isolated. Starting with disappointment is was interesting to see what would happen as the role of the Grave Digger was revealed. I can see a lot of potential in this series, and book 1 was a good introduction into the world. I only wish the book was longer and went more in depth in some areas, but overall considering the length, the author did a good job and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

King – Review by Rebeca Elliott Figueiras
Grave Digger Academy IV is the most recent Grave Digger Academy series release. This book picks up shortly where the third book left off. For the most enjoyment, take my advice and read the earlier books before getting into this one. Makayla has returned to school, and there have been a lot of changes. There is a new headmistress introducing a new curriculum, her allies are gone, and she is the most disliked of students. Does Makayla have what it takes to figure out all of the underlying happenings at the school and in her world? The story is quickly paced to keep you on your toes. I have enjoyed learning more about the world of the grave diggers as Makayla has learned. I look forward to the next book in the series to see what happens next.

King – Review by Sheri Schrader
Makayla is having an argument with her dad about going back to school. He is forbidding her going. Her actions in the past few years are showing the stress on her parents. A letter shows up and the argument is over as she has been ordered to return to school.
She is excited because she is hoping to finally see her friends. Life is not fair as she is now the one and only disliked pupil hated by all. She doesn’t know what is going on. Why is everyone staring at her? She will need to get to the bottom of what is going on.
This is where her adventure begins. Who to trust is going to be a huge struggle. Friends may not be trustworthy but enemies may be.
This was another great addition to the Grave Digger Series.

King Reviewed by – Deb Robinson
Note: This is not a standalone book. In order to understand what’s going on, you need to read the previous books in the series.
After things slowed down a little in book three, this book picks up the pace again. A lot of changes have happened and Makayla is embroiled in mystery. She’s cut off from much of her support system and doesn’t know who to trust. This story will have you leaning into the twists and turns as Makayla learns more about herself and the academy.
Phenomenal world building, superb characters. Fabulous read!

King – Review by Naomi McDonald
This is the 4th book in the Grave Digger Academy Series. This is a story that you definatwly need to read in order to get the full details of our characters and what is going on in their world. This is another story filled with secrets, magic, adventure, danger, and the constant battle of knowing who you can and can’t trust.
Makayla has returned to school but things have changed and not for the better. Everyone who was her friend is now keeping her distance from her. The new headteacher is trying to keep her and her magic under control but putting in place all these rules to work against her. And there is a another secret she has to uncover to get to the bottom of who she is, and why people are trying to control her. With her old friends gone and new people watching every move she makes will she be able to uncover the secrets all on her own?
This series keeps getting better and better and seeing the story unravel with the added parts of Makayla’s past life and family history coming to light a little at a time it makes it a captivating, magical read.

King- Review by Kerry Carr
This is the third book in the Grave Digger Academy series. I have read all three so far and recommend reading them in order. It doesn’t give enough back story for you to fully understand what is going on if you don’t.
Makayla and her brothers expect the academy to be full to the brim with new students this year! Only when they get there, it’s anything but full. Something major has changed over the summer. Her brothers are forced to leave, but she must stay. She learns a lot about herself this year and a new insight into what’s really going on. Will it be too much for her?

King – Review by Jamie Truex
New book, new year. Makayla is back for her third year at the Grave Digger Academy and it is worse than ever. Attendance is down, professors and students are scared and transferred out but Makayla is forced to stay. The crones do not trust her and want to keep her under their thumb. The school is in lockdown with a whole new set of rules, no one is to leave the premises. Not only that, but the crones think Makayla is too inexperienced to harness her legendary helpers and is forced to find a more ‘normal’ one.
This book is a lot slower paced than the previous two in the series. It was kind of like a montage of Makayla learning more about her potential and working on herself to get stronger. I liked how the author actually wrote about the struggle and the work Makayla put in. A lot of times, the main character is just all of a sudden super powerful and at full potential which makes for an unrealistic arc. I really enjoy this author’s writing. I am excited for the next installment of the series!

I feel this is a better story than the last couple. It was a little sporadic in the beginning but once it got rolling it was wonderful! I was completely glued to the story and trying to figure out what is going to happen. The secondary characters are starting to fill out and become full of life. Plus we are seeing more out of Makayla. Who can she trust and who is part of the problem? I was unhappy with the way the story stopped but it leaves me wanting more!

King- Review by Lisa Helmick
Grave Digger Academy IV is part of the Grave Digger fantasy series. It’s aimed at teen and YA readers but will appeal to all who enjoy magic school stories. This book is best enjoyed as part of the series so that you watch the characters grow and develop and see how the story leads on from the previous book.
I love that this story gets us going with some mysteries straight away. Who is Jezabella Peacock and what does she have to do with Makayla? How has the school changed, and what impact will that have on her? There are plenty of twists, it’s a real page-turner! I’m looking forward to reading the fifth book when it comes out.
This book gets five stars from me! I’ve enjoyed other series by this author as well so knew I was in for a treat when I started the Grave Digger Academy series! It’s great for existing fans of the author, as well as being a great entry point.

King – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
Tropic Heat (Flamingo Island Series) is a really fun read by C.A. King. It has the feel of a romcom with a funny, sweet, feel-good, and engaging story about a jilted groom, a nonrefundable honeymoon, his best friend, and holiday hijinks. This is a novella-length book that can be easily devoured in one fun sitting. It is a very entertaining story, and although it may be short in pages it delivers the ‘reading experience’ of a much longer novel. I have said this many times before and am likely to keep repeating it again many more times; I am a big fan of Ms. Kings work and have enjoyed all her stories immensely- so it was no great surprise that this book was a winning recipe for me as well. This definitely has all the ingredients you could want from an entertaining contemporary romantic comedy about love, loss, deception, con artists, cops, revelations, a touch of fate, finding that some things weren’t meant to be, and finding love unexpectedly. Happy reading!

I have read many of C.A’s books and what I enjoy about her writing is that you never know what you will get because of her diverse ability to write in many different genres. Tropic Heat is short, sweet and a fun read that will have you laughing out loud at the goings on. I just wish that the stories were longer not that you miss out on anything good with less pages because C.A. knows her stuff. Sometimes you find love in the least expected place or person. Daniel may be heartbroken but this not honeymoon may be the best thing that has happened to him. With his best friend Joey in toe what could go wrong or right? Con artist, cops, turtles and to find out what they mean you will have to read it. Tropic Heat is a great book for a quick escape. So, grab a cocktail or two and feel as though you have stepped into the cruise of a lifetime or is it. There are many, many books still left to explore, and I look forward to getting through each and every one of them.

Well, I didn’t see that coming. Our jilted groom has a con woman for a bride. He meets a cop trying to break the ring. Throw in some hot, steamy romance that will have you feel like you are in the tropics. This was a fun read. I enjoyed the chemistry between our groom and cop. When they were reading the pickup lines, I about fell off my chair. I have had a few of those used on me. That was a treat to read. I felt bad for his besty having no luck and getting drunk with the turtle. But hey, the turtle is like a bartender. Lots of adventure, romance and fun. This a great weekend read if you’re looking for a quick read.

King – Review by Shelly Kittell
Left heartbroken and alone with a pair of expensive, non-refundable tickets to the exclusive and enticing Flamingo Island Resort, what was a jilted groom supposed to do?
Daniel’s best friend Joey knows; they were taking that trip. The best way to get over a woman is to get on top of or under another, after all.
This almost-groom might not be the type to hop from one relationship to another, but when all else fails, a plethora of fancy little umbrellas were waiting to keep tears out of the drinks.
Everything is set. There’s no turning back. The two of them are about to have the trip of a lifetime, just not the one either expected.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.
Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time.
To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger.
People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years.
I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you differently.
I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes—I want them to know they are making a difference.
Fast forward to today…

Grave Digger Academy IV (Grave Digger Academy Series) by C.A. King. This is the next fun installment in the Grave Digger Academy and it picks up the summer before school is about to start. The old headmistress has left and the new one is Ulva Everbleed. The building is half finished because the Crones shut down construction. The only way you can go back to school is if you received a letter. Makayla is excited to get a letter but when she sees her friends they ignore her. There are lots of changes this year, new headmistress, new teachers and new students. She doesn’t know who she can trust. Everything seems to be weird and unpredictable. Some people have disappeared and some are acting strange. Makayla is being watched at everything she does and she can’t have her helpers this year. This book is full of death, witches, paranormal, magic and mystery. Another great installment but I do recommend you read them in order.

Makayla is ready for another year at the Grave Digger Academy. When she gets there things have changed. They have a new headmistress and also other people watching them all the time.

Grave Digger Academy IV was my favorite of the series, so far. I literally did not put it down, reading it in one sitting. Makayla is back at Grave Digger Academy, but everything is different this year. There is a new headmistress, and a lot of the students didn’t return, or perhaps weren’t invited back, or maybe disappeared….everyone has a different theory. There is so much going on and the plot thickened a lot in this one. Relationships were built with others strengthened and some severed. It wasn’t quite as much of a cliff hanger ending, but left a lot open. I cannot wait for the next book. I need to know where this is heading and ends. Because the things that happened in this book, I did not expect.

King – Review by Heather Bass
This is the 3rd book in the Grave Digger Academy series. It is a must read for fans of paranormal fantasy fiction. I think out of the three books, this is the most creative and fans will appreciate it. There’s lots of adventure, fun and a touch of romance.
This series follows Makayla on her adventure within the academy after learning of her rare ability to see and communicate with the dead. The mysterious and secret school for people with her abilities turns out to be a great fit allowing her to learn more about her power plus uncover the mysterious realm called the afterlife.
This book presents Makayla and her friends with their biggest challenge to date. They are forced to fight a sinister plot to disrupt the balance between the living and the dead. There is a lot of growth throughout the series and especially in this challenging chapter.
I hope you enjoy stories that include humor, emotions, action, and suspense because this one is overflowing with it all!
I think everyone will be satisfied with the outcome of this story. It is so well written and has a good balance of characters, plot & incredible dialogue. I highly recommend.

Well this series just keeps getting better and better. Makayla just keeps getting deeper and deeper into the mystery of what is going on at Grave Digger Academy and within the magical world. She is finding out the hard way who her real friends are and who she can trust. She is learning more about her family history and how it all plays a part in her current situation. The book is definitely a page turner and the author is doing as great job of keeping of keeping the audience engaged and wanting to find out what happens next! I can’t wait for book 5 to come out!

King Review by Amanda Haller-Doris
I was very excited to continue the Grave Digger Academy series by C. A. King! The third installment did not disappoint. Many of the same characters return, but things are very different at the Academy with many students and faculty leaving. This book started out a little slower but I believe all of the information learned will be beneficial in the long run. We are introduced to more helpers and find out Makayla may be much more than she seems. The Crones have Makayla and the Academy in their sites and seem determined to bring both down. But, with many of her old friends missing this year, Makayla finds her own strengths and magic within her isolation. The same great world building is used and I’ve become so invested in the characters. I cannot wait for the fourth book!

King – Review by Mandy Ott
This is the 3rd book in the Grave Digger Academy series. I really recommend reading these books in order so you get the complete picture and complete understanding for the character. This author is one I am always excited to pick up as I am never disappointed and am always taken on a paranormal adventure that I’ll never forget.
Makayla is returning back to Grave Digger Academy for her 3rd year. But just like the previous years it isn’t going to be easy for Makayla. When she arrives at the academy with her brothers who change their schools to protect her she automatically knows something is wrong. After all the hype around the Academy Makayla expected the school to be busy so why was it so quiet? When she notices that some of her friends and teachers haven’t returned she knows she needs to find out what is going on. But can she succeed in getting to the truth without the aid of her helpers? And how dangerous will things become for her when she tries to uncover the truth. With people questioning whether she is on the side of good or evil she is in a race against time to find the missing people while also keeping herself safe. Will she be able to survive the 3rd year at Grave Digger Academy?
This is a YA paranormal adventure which is full of twists and turns. It is a fast paced story with great character development. I can’t wait to see what else the author had in store for us with this series.

So on return Makayla finds things very different. Rules are sharper and even the head mistress is being held under strong views from the Crones.<br />Can Makayla work within the new tough rules and make her way towards her destiny.<br />Another amazingly written book.<br /> <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/34425105-tracy”>View all my reviews</a>

King – Review by Tracy Greenhalgh
We’re back for year 3 and it just might be the last year at Grave Digger Academy. After last year, it’s a wonder there’s anyone left at this specific school, but what can you do when they refuse to let you leave.
While some things are best left buried, it’s impossible to keep anything hidden long when there is no one left to trust.
Makayla starts out this story with the start of term. It’s year three and maybe this year they’ll actually learn something, but when she arrives with two of her brothers in tow, it seems like things are getting grimmer at Grave Digger Academy.
I enjoyed book three just as much as the first two! It’s fast paced, and quick to follow. My only complaint is how quick it ends! Onto book Four!

King – Review by Tia Martel
This is not a standalone book. You need to read the first two in order to understand the backstory of what is going on in this one. After reading the first two and loving them, I found book three to be somewhat slower. It took me a little bit to get into it because there’s not a lot of action happening up until about chapter twenty. BUT, you need all the information in this story for what is coming in book four. That being said, I enjoyed the addition of new helper characters, and Makayla learning how to use her tools. And, as always, I enjoyed the unique interpretations of magic and worldbuilding. I feel like the slower pace of this story is building up to something intense for the next book. Looking forward to continuing the series!

King – Review by Naomi McDonald
This is the third installment of the Grave Digger series and while you can read it as a standalone, I’d definitely recommend reading the books in order, as a lot happens that you don’t want to miss out on. C.A. King has written this amazing, enjoyable YA paranormal series that encompasses not only magic, secrets, and dangerous adventures, but fun to get to know somewhat quirky characters.
Book three has Makayla returning to GDA for her year three with her brothers in tow as her protection detail. They feel they need to watch out for her, especially after her year-two trials and tribulations. But Makayla realizes things are amiss right off the bat, with missing entities and people. Is GDA safe? What happens when more people start disappearing? Will Makayla herself be next if her brothers aren’t allowed to stay with her? Will she be left all alone since her unique group of friends seems to have bailed on her, or will she encounter others to help her along the way? Can she solve the mystery, stay safe, and make it to her year four at GDA, or will the shadows close in as people question whose side she is truly on? Find out these questions and more in the fast-paced magical tale!
I’m so glad I found this series and can’t wait to see what happens next! Be aware going into this series that these books often end on cliffhangers that leave you salivating for more answers, adventures, and just plain great writing!

Grave Digger Academy III (Grave Digger Academy Series) by C.A. King. This is such a fun series and while it can be read as a standalone I think they will be enjoyed much more if read in order. Its the continuing story of Makayla who has returned to school for a third semester. The only problem is none of her friends or professors have shown up? Where are they and what could have happened to them. Makayla is now tasked in finding them. Makayla finds a few new friends while her other friends are missing and they help her look for everyone. Makayla is also learning more about her powers and how to use them. Such a fun series especially for younger readers but this old lady still loved it!

King – Review by Tausha Treadway
So excited to get to continue to read this exciting and engaging series! Book 3 follows Makayla’s return to school, where there are all sorts of strange things happening and people are missing. I love that Makayla isn’t afraid to start digging into the secrets to figure out what is going on. The author continues to keep the audience engaged with the characters and really makes you feel connected to them. I definitely couldn’t put the book down until I got to the final page, I definitely was kept enthralled with the tale and I can’t wait to check out book 4 to see what will continue to happen!

This is the continuation of Makayla’s journey at the Grave Digger Academy. In this book she is off to school with her brothers in tow, just to find out that only a handful of students are returning. Her brothers are there for her protection after last year. Will they be allowed to stay? The mystery of finding out why people are going missing is at the heart of the story.

King – Review by Deb Robinson
This covers year three of Makayla’s school year. It’s a good story and easily kept my interest. It was nice seeing all the characters and seeing what and where they are now at. Makayla runs into a bump in the road and has to figure out how to compensate. The ending is a surprise and makes me wonder what will happen in the next book.
I like the covers of these books! Really drew my eye! I feel the author could really expand on the story if so desired. There are so many ways that this could be taken. I almost felt the story was good up to a point then it was a quick abrupt ending.
