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 Amanda Haller-Doris
Children of the Wild is an YA historical fantasy tale. Krysta Twalks is a relatively new author and one to be watched. This unique and vividly imaginative tale is original. It is refreshing to read something a little different from the norm.
Mythological creatures, shape shifters, magic, magical abilities and transformations are just some of the things that you will find in this magical tale.
One boy is about to find out who he really is. I mean it’s not everyday that you suddenly sprout feathers and can magically produce sparks. He finds he is surrounded by magical creatures he never knew existed. He finds himself in a world full of wonder and danger.
Elbert must learn to wield his magic along with learning to be who he is and accepting who he is. He must learn to deal with the grief of losing a sister whilst looking after his other siblings. He finds himself in a fight with a friend and being aware of enemies that could threaten it all.
Acceptance, overcoming grief and hope is just some of what he must learn…

King – Review by Deb Robinson
What a fascinating story. I loved the shapeshifting aspect to it. The historical part of the story was similar to Tuck Everlasting, as had been recommended. I have never read that book. I did find this story attention keeping, able to draw me in and quite intriguing. I found the characters to be developed very well. The detail was good. It’s a story that I’ll read to my grandson when he’s a little older. I believe it’ll grab his attention.

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.

King – Review by Lisa Helmick
The third book in this installment did not disappoint. There is so much detail in such a short book. Makayla finds herself back at the Grave diggers Acedemy fle the third year, but this time, she isn’t allowed to leave. In the book Makayla continues to grow in her magic and when she is forced to rely on herself, she finds her powers are much stronger than she ever imagined. Small details build up and all culminates in the conclusion of this book. I do not recommend reading this without the first two books; it is definitely not meant as a stand alone.

This is the third book of the series. It just keeps getting better. The school isn’t known as the end of the line anymore it is now known for heroes. There are a lot of strange things happening. She never heard from her friends during break, the gargoyles that guard the school are missing, along with several other people. Will she be able to find everyone or is she in over her head?

Hope For A New World is the first book in The Hope Series (Gaia’s Voice Series) by Renee W. Peek. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Peek, so I really didn’t know what to expect from one of her stories. But the cover intrigued me, and the blurb sounded interesting- so I set off to explore. What I discovered is an original story with quite a lot going on. There are multiple characters, and multiple POVs too, which expands the story considerably. It is a Sci-fi fantasy, with a bit of a ‘message’ about the world/environment, and our part in it all. From environmental messages to telepathic messengers, new-age type beliefs, giving the planet/s a ‘voice’, tension, challenges, drama, and hope – this story takes place in a futuristic setting (2133 -2138)- so over a hundred years into the future. Whilst I did appreciate the story and messages it contained, I found it difficult to connect fully with some of the characters which made it hard to fully invest in them and the outcome of the story. Some of the characters were very ‘fleshed out’ while others not so much, even though they were part of the ‘main cast’. I really wanted to know more about them, I guess. Some of the dialogue seemed a little stilted and curt/blunt, which made for choppy/clunky interactions. Also, some of the transitions were abrupt, making for a rough flow at times, and adding a little confusion (for me), which kept pulling me out of the flow. But the overall story was intriguing, and I really liked the premise. Don’t let my opinion put you off grabbing a copy and diving in, as looking at the other reviews, I seem to be the only one with any concerns at all – so this is probably a ‘me issue’. Snap up a copy and make up your own mind. I am curious to see where the series goes from here, so will explore the other books to find out. Happy reading…

Bookbub – Children of the Wild (Children of the Wild Series) by Krysta Tawlks
A breathtaking historical fantasy placed in a rich setting reminiscent of Tuck Everlasting with whimsical magic like the films of Hayao Miyazaki.
Is magic a gift…
or a curse?
In a quaint early 20th century farm town, young Elbert enjoys his ordinary life with his ordinary family.
Or so he thinks. One day, a burning sensation digs into his chest, gentle breezes chafe his skin, and water stings. Soon, feathers sprout across his body.
He discovers magic in the hills, mighty creatures lurking near the river. And Elbert might be one of them. But only he can decide whether to grow the magic spark within himself or let it snuff out.
This poignant story follows a boy struggling with self doubt and grief, and the ones who give him hope enough to break a curse.
Krysta Tawlks is the author of Children of the Wild and several short stories. She grew up watching hot air balloons float by her small country house, spent a few years post grad in Thailand, humbling her Western mind, and currently teaches English skills to language learners. She lives with her husband and son in northern California.

Hope for a New World, by Renee W Peek, is the first installment to The Hope Series, and is a beautiful blend of science-fiction and space, with a side of metaphysical and so much more. I enjoyed the distinctly different personality types among the main characters. I felt they were all very well-developed, interesting and I felt a connection with each of them in some way. The strength of these women uniting for a cause they all believe in was very inspiring! The descriptions and intriguing storyline made it very easy to submerge myself into this story, without feeling like anything was repetitive or long-winded. The author really brought to life what I believe to be a very strong first book to this series. All in all, I would definitely suggest to anyone who loves science-fiction, although it goes much further beyond the sci-fi genre. I look forward to the next installment!

Doombringer : A LGBTQ Dark Fantasy Tale by Marcel Liemant- 4 out of 5 stars
This author gave a creative twist to this dark fantasy with some greek god vibes. A beautiful story of what limits a father will go to in order to save his child. Strength and perseverance despite challenging circumstances along the way. I could not put this book down. I highly recommend this book.

Makayla is in damager of being betrayed with every step. She finds out more about her family ties and starts to learn more magic. This year students are learning about familiars and grimoires.

Grave Digger Academy III is Makayla’s third year at Grave Digger Academy. She is stuck at Grave Digger Academy due to her lineage and is being watched by the Crones. Students and teachers have disappeared. Maybe they have just not come back for the school year? Join Makayla and her friends as they continue to unravel the GDA secrets. I enjoyed this book because Makayla started to learn and practice more magic. I would recommend it for those in middle school but can be enjoyed at older ages as well. I look forward to reading the next part of the series.

Grave Digger Academy II is Makayla’s second year at Grave Digger Academy. This time there is a competition among all the academies. Makayla’s brothers are hoping to beat her school. This book is extremely easy to read. I loved Makayla’s new helper in this tale. I would recommend it for those in middle school but can be enjoyed at older ages as well.

Grave Digger Academy I is a short tale about Makayla. She gets sent to the Grave Digger Academy, which just happens to be the last choice that students have. It turns out that she may have unexpected powers that tie back to her family tree. The book has magic, humor, and is easy to read. I felt a touch of Harry Potter due to the magical school setting for young witches. I would recommend it for those in middle school but can be enjoyed if you’re older as well! I look forward to reading the next installment.

King – Review by Callie Luna
Marcel Liemant’s Doombringer follows trans male lead, Oden, his daughter, Penny, his best friend, Tinnor, and Tinnor’s partner, Ivan, as well as side characters, Magdela the Wise, and the non-binary character Kimri. Their village, Shard Moure, has been and continues to be attacked, and most of the villagers want to leave, but Oden wants to fight for their home. I really like the premise of this story, an LGBTQ+ fantasy novel with an unexpected hero. But I found that the story moved quite slowly. The whole thing takes place over a couple of days, and then follows a time jump at the very end. There’s a lot of action and internal dialogue but not much external dialogue. And the story doesn’t really start until the last 30% of the book. My favourite character was the lead, Oden, although you don’t really get to know the other characters well enough. My least favourite characters were the Mages. I recommend this book if you are interested in getting into the queer fantasy genre. ‘Oden was running out of time on this earthly plane and he still had so much left to do.’
The Befallen is the debut novel by Cambria Williams. Anyone can be a hero given the right circumstances (and attitude) and anyone can find redemption if they seek it. Here Ms. Williams shows us how a disabled young woman and a banished knight come together to save the kingdom, becoming heroes, finding redemption, and finding themselves along the way. It’s a bit of a dark fantasy adventure with magic, challenges, a curse, emotion, good vs evil, an epic quest, high stakes, friendship, redemption, courage, and hope. A great introduction to this author’s writing and I am intrigued by what she might do next. Happy reading…

The Grave Digger Academy series must be read together, in order, to fully understand what is going on. The books continue to build on each other and book 3 picks up where Book 2 left off. And similar, it ends in a cliff hanging, urging the reader onto book 4. This book was a short story, and is easy to read in a day or two. It is action packed, and there is a lot going on. Makayla is back at the Grave Digger Academy, and must find new helpers. Her friends have pretty much abandoned her after the drama from book 2. While this sucks, it helps her discover her own strengths and build on them, making some new, unexpected friends along the way.

Hope For a New World (The Hope Series Book 1) by Renee W Peek- 5 out of 5 stars
This book is not only about the evolution of a new world, but hope for our future generations as well. The amount of detail put into making this new world is fascinating. I am blown away with how intricate this author gets, down to the smallest bit. This book blew my mind and opened my eyes to so many futuristic possibilities. I highly recommend this book.

The Befallen by Cambria Williams- 5 out of 5 stars
This was such a great read! Sloan’s journey was both captivating and deeply emotional, making it impossible for me to want to put this book down. A mythical land that was cursed and is suffering a plague that kills people as they stand. The magic of the moon is so captivating, that, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to look at our moon the same. The second half of the book half really picked up pace and swept me up away in the whirl wind of adventure. It was all so fantastic! I highly recommend!

WOW! This beautifully dark fantasy is absolutely stunning! I cannot believe this is the author’s debut because it is phenomenal. It was like diving into another realm from the very first page and experiencing everything firsthand. Sloane, Alvie, and Tolvar are exceptionally well-developed, and they will have you fully invested within a few pages. This experience pulled on every heartstring I have as the author expertly draws every emotion out of you. We get a well-built world with plenty of background in the beginning, and then I promise it picks up like nobody’s business. I couldn’t put it down once I started because I was obsessed with finding out what happened next. If you enjoy anything slightly related to the fantasy genre, this book is absolutely your next read!

Makayla is back in school and those she thought were friends are keeping a distance while new people are watching Makayla like a hawk. Makayla finds herself being called to an unknown and mystery surrounding the name Peacock has her wondering. A new headmistress and a lot of bans has Makayla without her helpers. Everything is going in a different direction and Makayla is not sure who to trust.
Another wonderful read in this series. Answers to some of the questions begin to present themselves. I love Makayla, she is a bit of a firecracker and I am very intrigued with where the series goes.

King Reviewed By – Emily H
Mackayla is back for her third year at Grave Digger Academy and all is not what it was. The student population has dwindled to a select few. Makayla is finding this year is not what she expected and finds a few new allies while her helpers are not around. Dark things are swirling around the Academy and Makayla will be the person who has to find out what is happening.
Another great read in this series. A bit darker than the first two but page turning fun. I liked how the story went, fast paced excitement and Makayla has a few surprises in store for her. Can’t wait for the next book.

King – Review by Emily H
This is the second book in the Fallen Hearts series. Phaedron is trying to save his brother Rowen, but he needs help. He enlists Alindra from the Kingdom of the Summer to help. He is not prepared for what is to come not only in finding Rowen but also he is not prepared for the feelings that come alive around Alindra. There are so many reasons for Phaedon and Alindra to stay apart. The story had me on the edge of my seat. This book has it all including dragons and an epic story. What more could you want?
