Curse of the Elf Lord (Kingdom of the Elf Lords Book 2)Curse of the Elf Lord by Heidi Vanlandingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Curse of the Elf Lord is the second intriguing book in the Kingdom of the Elf Lords series by Heidi Vanlandingham. It is a fantastic fantasy full of paranormal elements, romance, elves, shifters, magic, action, danger, drama, emotion, adventure, superb world building, challenges, past history, interconnected details, complexity, depth, family, a quest, and high stakes.
After reading the first book, ‘Return of the Elf Lord’ I wasn’t about to pass up the opportunity to read this instalment. I had high hopes for what it might contain- especially after finding out about the curse that turns an Elf into a werewolf… I was already hooked by at that stage and my anticipation was set on high. After excitedly diving right in, I was soon engrossed in all the intriguing developments- and devoured every word. I was so happy that the story turned out to be every bit as good as I hoped it could be, and more.
I can’t wait to read Cyran and Shalendra’s story, Book #3 in the series!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Heidi Vanlandingham!

There is a beginning scribble page to test out your art media and what to do if your coloring bleeds through. This is a great idea! Faces look like anime anime artwork and the damsels are age appropriate in design. The characters don’t look scary and are adorable. There are enough details in the pictures to keep you interested and keep coloring for any age group. I like to do adult coloring and this is a wonderful book!

The second book of the Grave Digger Academy series and it was worth it! C.A. King is seriously on of my all-time faves. This continuation held no lacklustre! It was another exciting thrilling read following Makayla on her second year! I enjoy the excitement and mystery and find this one of my favourite fantasy sets so far! I can’t wait to see what else we get from the author because it is always worth losing yourself in!

I love this Halloween coloring book. The pictures are so cute! It’s always fun and stress free to take time to color. Every page is creative. The lines are medium in size, not small like an adult coloring book, and is enjoyable for all ages.

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?

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

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 was a fantastic read! This book was honestly a lot better than I was expecting. I was completely enthralled by this one and could hardly put it down. It was interesting, entertaining, thrilling, funny in parts and some parts were sad. I feel like this book had a lot to offer. I also love the fall vibes that it gave off. I’m really glad I decided to pick this one up! I highly recommend trying this one out sometime.

<br /><br />
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 />

The Mermaid books are a great way to introduce your child to science. This book contains a science experiment you can do with your child just like Fig shows Maia and Trezzie how to do. I love the illustrations and the detailed science at the back of the book. This book isn’t just a great read but a great learning opportunity. The characters are lovable and timeless.

This is a well written fantasy science fi type novel with a strong protagonist. The details really draw you into the story and keep you turning pages until you are done. I loved the twists and turns, the non stop action, adventure and of course the relationship you can develop with the characters. I enjoyed this one so much I am gonna go back and read the first book as I have a feeling I missed some pretty significant moments. Absolutely worth reading!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bax is a young lad in middle school who has a pretty ordinary life, he is the invincible kid at school and just flows along with existence, but he has always wanted something special to happen to him, something out of the ordinary, but nothing ever does!

One day, he is heading home after playing video games with his best friend and he is trying to beat his mum back home so he doesn’t get in trouble for staying out too late, but when he gets to his apartment building, there is someone waiting on the front steps. It appears to be a homeless man who is not in the best of health, apart from his glowing purple eyes, however, when he gives Bax a ring which is meant to be from his estranged dad, he takes it thinking if he figures it out, then maybe he will know something more about him.

Unbeknownst to Bax, he has just been given a ring with a Djinn in it and it calls to him through a dream, it tells Bax he can have everything his heart desires if he summons it, but the Ifrit, as it is named twists Bax’s subconscious fantasies and threatens, murders and manipulated the people around him instead.

All Bax now wants to do is to banish the Ifrit forever, but can he work out the how, when and where before the streak of crimes the Djinn is committing are linked back to Bax? This is a fantasy adventure where wishes are granted, but not in the expected way and it becomes a race against time to save the people he loves in this story which talks about choices, consequences and morality in a way everyone can understand while keeping it interesting and engrossing throughout.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First things first I learned that djinn meant genie, which I didn’t know when I picked the book up. After that things fall more firmly in place and begin to make a little more sense. This is a pretty fast paced YA book that pulls you in from the start and won’t let go, kind of like the Djinn.

Bax just wants something memorable to happen in his life so when an old man gives him a ring he takes it. This sets Bax on the journey of his life after he starts having dreams about a powerful djinn. As dreams become nightmares when an ifrit is unleashed upon the world and this demon feeds upon his subconscious. Now Bax must solve a puzzle to banish the ifrit forever. With a trail of crimes, destruction, and death that point back to Bax can he solve this puzzle and survive?

This is truly the age old tale of being careful what you wish for because oftentimes dreams can be worse than reality. This was a fantastic coming of age tale. It was fantastic to see the character development in Bax as he works to banish the ifrit. This was a fast paced book that certainly keeps you engaged and coming back to read it every time you have a free moment. Give this one a try even if it seems out of your wheelhouse, because it is definitely worth it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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!

It is easy enough for both kids and adults alike. I could see these being used in classrooms for kids to color at Halloween time. Great coloring book that I have been enjoying coloring all the pictures to put up around the house for decorating.

This is a beautiful collection of pictures for children (and adults) of all ages to enjoy and have fun colouring it.
My little boy and niece loved them and it was a great way to spend a creative afternoon while getting them excited about Halloween.
It was nice to have pictures that were cute and not as scary as most Halloween things as when my son was younger he found it all scary where as this book brings the spirit of Halloween, the dressing up and having fun without the over the top scary side.

I really loved it and will definately be showing it to my sons school for Halloween activity ideas.

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.
