Year 2 and the trouble continues. Makayla is back and finds herself find up for the inter-academy games. Oh man, the pressure keeps adding on and they haven’t even taught them magic yet. No one from the previous year was allowed to transfer so everyone is back. I love this series. You have the home drama with Mom and her lies, and her brothers. You have Professor Woolsey and the Aegis Stones. You have Griffin who noone can seem to remember. So many little subplots, yet they still go so well together. It’s like a paranormal version of Harry Potter, only darker. I love the entertaining characters. Who can you trust? Twists and turns and Crones, oh my. On to book 3.

King – Review by Shelly Kittell
4.5 stars Grave Digger Academy IV by C.A. King is another fantastic YA paranormal fantasy in the light-hearted Grave Digger Academy series. This book carries on from the other three, so I suggest you read them all in order or you are missing out on so much goodness. This adventurous tale flows well with great world-building, and a set of delightful characters. The series is a complex multi layered tale that is simplistic in its telling. This delightful world is to be peeled back layer by layer and reveal all its secrets. Each book gets better than the last and the world is unique and original. The plot is well thought out and is an exciting and the Academy is full of secrets where things are hidden within the grounds and in the dark and go bump in the night. Makayla is back for another year with a new headmistress, new curriculum, disappearing allies, worrying Crones and lots more. But they may not be the answers she wants to hear. Things are never as they seem in Makayla’s world. Grave Digger Academy is where you will find witches, death, graves, deadly foes, deadly secrets, deadly games, twisted turns and mayhem and madness. Journey along as Makayla is determined to find answers. Even though it is aimed at YA readers I am certainly enjoying this series and I am 61. I can’t wait for more.

King – Reviewed by Carlie Del Gallo
This is a series that I have enjoyed reading from the first book. This is a series that I would suggest reading the previous books as well. This will help your enjoyment of the characters as well as the author’s writing skills. I enjoyed how the author uses details to pull you into the story from the start. She gives her stories a realistic feel. This one is no different. This is the fourth book and a new year of students. There is a new headmistress with new ideas. As students come up missing Makayla finds herself alone and not knowing who to trust. What is happening to those that have disappeared? This is a fast paced story that you don’t want to miss. It is a shorter story but it packs a lot into a short amount of time. The characters are creative, strong and engaging. They had me turning pages fast just to see what would happen next. They added to the enjoyment of this story for sure. I enjoyed the growth of the plot which made the story easy to read. I enjoyed reading this book and series. I think you will enjoy it as well. I highly recommend this book and series.

Bookbub – Grave Digger Academy IV (Grave Digger Academy Series) by C.A. King
Gravediggers actually do the digging. Grave Diggers, however, keep buried bodies where they belong—six feet under.
**********************************************
Helpers have been outlawed.
New faces have been shipped in to keep a watchful eye.
Old allies seem unreliable.
This year’s students find themselves studying under a new headmistress who implements an entirely new curriculum. With allies disappearing left and right, Makayla finds herself more alone than ever. Still, she’s determined to find answers, ones which will lead her to understanding who she is and why the Crones are so worried about her.
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…

This story was fantastic!! Magic, mayhem, drama and darkness… this fast paced story has it all. I very highly recommend listening to Book 1 as this is Book 2 in the series and picks up a couple of years later where Ian Troy wakes after being imprisoned for 2 years….
Drugged and beaten… Ian is tortured and comes around unbeknownst to him…a prisoner after 2 years….not remembering what happened. Of course King Draken is at his full rule and cruel and dark as ever. Ian Troy is rescued and trying to put the pieces back together especially trying to find the truth still in the Crown of Stones….
If you love a gripping fantasy story I very highly recommend this audiobook. I cannot wait until I listen to book 3 in the series.

L. Schneider – Review by Lorralei Hoerner
Very interesting book. It did take me a bit to get into the story, but alas, I did. The way the mage’s song was described, I can only image how terrifying that would sound. Watching the adventure and life and death situations Oden encounters trying to protect his daughter and the world she lives in was nerve wracking and brave. He wanted to ensure her future even if it meant he was going to be taken from her. Penny is a strong little girl, Oden doesn’t give her enough credit, but I think by the end he realizes just how much Penny understands and can help. It feels like more is coming for the town of Shard Moure, it feels like the mages have just retreated for now.
I enjoyed reading the continuing adventures of Makayla. Being with her as she learns more about magic and the reality of who she is has been very interesting. The world created by this author is very vibrant and intense and the story has some very interesting twist and turns as Makayla works to unravel the mystery that shrouds the past and the history of necromancy and the witches that practiced it. This series just keeps getting better and better as it continues and I look forward to the next book in the series.

Doombringer is a Dark Fantasy that is a fast paced short story. I wasn’t real sure what to expect going in as this is a new author to me but I’m glad did. The characters are unique ,creative and developed. The storyline flowed. Oden recently buried his wife and his village marred he’s lost all hope. He wants to protect his daughter from their looming fate. Oden is determined to do what needs to be done . Will power destroy Oden before he has a chance to end the war? I highly recommend reading this short story to find out what happens next. Im looking forward to reading more from this Author.

This was a short read; and it was good. I was intrigued from the very beginning with the plot and characters! It has a similar cadence to some other “high fantasy” novels I’ve read in the past, which I greatly enjoyed. If you’re a lover of high fantasy, then I recommend this for you!
This series was definitely interesting, and you can tell the author put a lot of thought into writing the book. However, I feel it fell flat in a few areas, and at times was hard to follow the storyline. The book does have a very slow start, but I did enjoy it, as you really were able to connect and get a good feel for the characters. This story is focuses deeply on perseverance even though the characters had a LOT of hardships and challenges. My favorite aspect of this story was that it was set in dark fantasy world – that alone captivated my attention. As the story came to a climax, it definitely made your breathing almost stop. Would Oden end up ending this war…or would he die first? The relationship between Oden and his daughter was absolutely beautiful, and explained as well as showed exactly how far a father will go for their child. Even though, I believe this was written as a stand-alone, the author did leave room if they wanted to write another book that followed the ending or just was another story in this dark fantasy world. I do recommend reading this book, as the messages throughout the book were absolutely beautiful and thought out. I look forward to reading more by this author.

This book is one heck of an adventure. I found that the adventure just grabs you from the beginning. Troy is still my favorite character. He’s trying to adjust from being out of prison and finds himself fighting a war. Non-stop action, great dialogue, intriguing characters all make for a winner. The narrator does a fantastic job of making you feel like you are right there listening to the story, right in the middle of the action. This is one of my favorite authors. She writes in such a way that you feel like you’ve been on an adventure also.
5/5 stars

L. Schneider – Review by Shelly Kittell
Oden Treaty is a desperate man, he has lost everything he cared for to war and magic, apart from his home, his daughter and his best friend, but life is hard for those he lives with, the wars left his town ravaged by fire and the only thing keeping them going is ale in the local tavern and working in the mines. Despite all of this, Oden still tries to keep his daughter’s childhood magical, and he is pushing himself to the edge to do it.
One day, dark smoke rolls into the town heralding war again, Oden knows that this is the end of times for them and as he tries to shore up his own courage to face it and bring that confidence to the rest of the residents. However, grief and desperation have eroded that confidence away and Oden knows that it is now up to him to save what is left of his family and their world, so when he hears of a prophecy, he knows he has to follow it and hope it leads to their saviour.
Unfortunately, with using so much magic himself over his lifetime, his body is quickly giving out on him, so a new urgency causes him to go to the only place, which is still holding, the mines, but will he find the answers he needs to save his world, or will his body become too corrupted to go on? This is a magical race against time in a fantasy world fraught with danger and darkness, which sucks you in and pulls you along on a tide of hope.

King – Review by Charlisa Wahtomy-Alba
Grave Digger Academy III is the third engrossing story in the Grave Digger Academy series by the talented C.A. King. It follows on from the previous two Grave Digger Academy stories and continues the adventures of Makayla and all the intriguing happenings at the academy. It is a fantastic addition to the series, and I was really excited to rejoin Makayla for some more fun adventures. As with the rest of the series this is a superb YA paranormal fantasy with action, mystery, the supernatural, wonderful quirky characters, dramatic developments, tension, intrigue, danger, and plenty of twists and turns. As we discovered previously Makayla didn’t want to attend Grave Digger Academy, at all- but has had plenty of interesting adventures since she started- that’s for sure. There’s always more to Grave Digger Academy expected and, in this instalment, where Makayla is about to start her third year, things certainly get off to a very interesting start. With mysterious happenings, disappearances, stricter rules, a little mayhem, tension, magic, and more- Makayla’s third year proves to be quite memorable, in all kinds of ways. A wonderful addition to the series! Looking forward to Book #4!

King – Review by Angela Hayes
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.

King – Review by Ayla Phipps
Grave Digger Academy III by C. A. King is part of the series of the same name. All books should be read in order as they follow Makayla during her years at the academy. Mckayla is in for another crazy year. When she gets back to school and realizes that almost no one is back, no one is allowed to transfer in or out. She is confined to the school, not allowed to leave, stricter rules, and still basically no magic. That is until she’s forced into the woods to find a new helper. As she’s told to find normal. However, we are finding out that Makayla is anything but normal. I’m enjoying this series. I missed Makayla and her ways. I like that she was finally able to learn some magic. I have a feeling shes going to be much more powerful than she ever thought. I’m looking forward to seeing as her power shifts and what sort of things she is able to do.

King – Review by Angela Plate, November 2023
Makayla is back at Grave Digger Academy for another school year. She is looking forward to seeing her friends and helpers but the Crones have other plans. It looks like the year is going to be different than she planned. When she arrives at school nothing is how she thought it would be including her friends. Even the headmistress does not know how to fix things. And as time passes it looks like Makayla is pretty much on her own except for the help of some new friends that are introduced in this book. There are some great plot twists that I didn’t see coming in this one. I read this one way faster than I meant to and am definitely looking forward to book 4!

All though I am new to this series or even the writer!!! I will say that this was an interesting read for sure. With the thought process that went into the writing, the imagination and the passion that Marcel Leimant used I am thoroughly impressed. This alone made for an enjoyable book even with the slow start. This was not generally one I normally would have chosen but Oden and his daughter definitely had an adventure ahead of them. The other characters made me think of Greek mythology and I will say that is what kept me drawn to it. I would like to eventually see what becomes of this writer and his characters.

Grave Digger Academy 3 By: C.A. King Review by: Susan Ratchford 5 Stars
This amazing continuation hooked me from the first page and had me stuck until the last sentence! The Grave Digger Academy series is full of intriguing settings, wonderful dialogue, and characters with quirks you would never expect! It is truly fun to read and is packed with both intensity and lightheartedness! I absolutely love Makayla and all of her helpers! I really liked the ones included for this book, especially Apotropia! It also always makes me smile with Thomas and his squirrels! This third installment had a wonderfully paced story that didn’t feel rushed even though the book was short. It also contains a wonderful air of mystery that grips you throughout. This book could definitely be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend starting with the first book to take in everything about this fantastical world that C.A. King created!

King – Review by Susan Ratchford
Marcel Liemant brings us an intriguing YA dark fantasy that has it all for. It is full of magic, monsters/ beasts, prophecies, secrets and lies in the adventure tale Doombringer. It is a very short read but packs a punch. It’s easy to get drawn into this fantasy world that Marcel has cleverly woven together where there is darkness around every corner. Where there is things that go bump in the night. Where one man has the fate of the world on his shoulders. Where he would do anything to save his daughter even if it means he loses himself along the way. This adventure tale is full of action, threatening war, epic battles, danger, life and death decisions. Only a miracle can save them all. If you love a good gipping dark fantasy tale, then Marcel has got your covered. I look forward to seeing what else Marcel brings out.

Grave Digger Academy 3 is the continuation of Makayla’s story as she returns to school for her third year. After the drama of the previous year, she is expecting to be overwhelmed with new students however the reality is very different with some familiar faces not returning. Makayla has also got to face the new rules imposed on her that don’t allow her helpers to aid in her quest for answers. I think this is a really fun series, I just wish the books were longer! Looking forward to reading book 4 to see what happens next.

This is a really enjoyable fantasy adventure. This story was really powerful for me. As a parent myself I can understand Oden’s need to do anything he can to protect his daughter from the reality of how dangerous and dead their world is and also to hide her from the things that happen that would scare an adult never mind a child. Like most parents Oden provides this protection no matter the cost to himself. But all magic comes at a cost and Oden knows the cost of protecting his daughter in this way will mean losing his life. As the next war is due to start its not just his daughter that Oden has to protect but with his time almost up will he be able to provide the miracle they need to save the remaining people? This is a story filled with magic, adventure, prophecies, danger, the constant threat of war and one man’s determination to protect his daughter no matter the cost. It is a gripping and moving story which I really enjoyed.
This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. This is the third book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series as well. Makayla is back in another school year with a new suspenseful fantasy. A story where there are more than just dead bodies being dug up but also where no secrets are safe. These students are about to find out why skeletons are better off in a closet. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their story. Makayla is a great character that has been my favorite of this series. She is strong, engaging and adds so much to the story. The things she finds herself in keep me turning pages fast. I enjoyed the growth of this story which made it easy and entertaining to read. A fast paced, hard to put down story. A shorter story that packs non-stop fantasy. This is one you don’t want to miss or this series for sure. I enjoyed this book and I think you will as well. I highly recommend this book.

Doombringer by Marcel Liemant is a bit of an epic fantasy adventure with magic, prophecy, secrets, discovery, monsters, action, war/battles, challenges, dramatic developments, and high stakes. This story tells the tale of the lengths a father is willing to go to in order to save his daughter from doom. But in his quest to save her, he finds himself thrust into an adventure with the fate of the realm resting in his hands. He must find a way to end the war, but at what cost? Add some darkness, corrupting magic, terrifying beasts, danger, challenges, and great risk- and this story takes an engrossing turn. This proved to be an intriguing read, and I am looking forward to exploring more of this author’s work in the future. Happy Reading…

4.5 stars Grave Digger Academy III is a wonderful YA paranormal fantasy. Each book is delightful and gets better than the last. Make sure to read them in order so you get the back story and understanding of the characters. I love that the series is unique and original and full of fun. This intriguing story flows well and is well written. It is an exciting tale and is full of delightful and quirky characters that feel real. Grave Digger Academy is the place everyone wants to be at now, but it is a place where nothing is as it seems, and people are disappearing. With Witches, death, graves, deadly foes, deadly secrets, deadly games the twisted turns the intensity is turned up and mayhem and madness ensues. Expect the unexpected. Makayla is back at the Grave Digger Academy and finds there is something amiss and at the Academy. Who is this new foe? There is something darker at the Academy this time. It already has lots of secrets and things hidden within the grounds and in the darkness. Things that definitely go bump in the night.
I have said it before but will say it again there are still so many layers to be explored and revealed due to the unique nature of this world C.A has created. Follow along as Makayla and friends delve into the current mystery. You won’t be disappointed.

A captivating stand alone! I wasn’t sure what I was getting with this book. The cover caught my eye and the description piqued my interest. Definitely glad I picked it up! Easily devoured in a single setting. I could not put the book down. It had a mix of dark magic with terrifying beasts set in a dark fantasy world. Would Oden end the war or die first? A what cost will a father go to save his child? How far into the darkness to triumph for a brighter future? I look forward to reading more works by this author.
