My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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!

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!

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.

The third book in the series and I have been waiting to find out what has happened with Makayla, and once again the author has not let us down.<br />The story continues to evolve and is a little grittier and darker than the previous 2 but the plot and characters continue to evolve.<br />The Academy itself has had a turn around and is now where everyone wants to go but there has been a hold on transfers, and all who wanted to transfer out were allocated placements at other academies. 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 />

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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?

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

After reading the previous book in this series, I could not wait to read the next and jumped straight into the story. It picks up soon after the last one finished and it was so easy to reconnect with the characters. Each story in the series just gets better and better and I always seem to fly through the stories. This book being no exception.
I love how original and refreshing this series still is to read. Even after four books it doesn’t feel like it is getting old or boring. The book is exciting to read and I had to read it all in one go to find out what would happen. This is a great book, a great series and one of my favourite authors. I would highly recommend all of their work to any fan of this genre.

It had been a while since I had read a book in this series and I was so excited to get right back into it. It was honestly like I had never put the books down. I was pulled back in straight away and reconnected with the characters with ease. I love the new additions to the book as well. They were great to learn about and added so much more to the story.
This book is still such a unique and original concept. It is unusual for me to read a book that is different to anything else I have read and yet every single book I read by this author seems to be just that. This book is as excited and well written as the others in the series and I think it is definitely prompting a reread. This is a fantastic book that I would highly recommend.

Year 3 had me hooked, I couldn’t put it down. I was lucky enough to have some time away from work so I could devour it undisturbed. This book, left me on edge and unsettled quite a bit (in the best way). I truly couldn’t put it down.

This should NOT be read as a stand alone, but I promise the first 2 are fantastic as well. I can’t wait to read book 4.

Despite being such a short book this fourth installment of the Grave Digger Academy series might be my favorite so far! Grave Digger Academy IIII brings in new teachers, new students, and a whole lot of new questions! I absolutely love King’s humor and her use of metaphor. It is so relatable and easily visualized. This book had so many moments that made me stop in my tracks and twists I never saw coming! Such a unique and refreshing series for anyone who likes the supernatural! I for one cannot wait to read Grave Digger Academy five and continue Makayla’s amazing adventure with her helpers and familiars! Such an amazing series I’ve had so much fun reading it so far! Highly recommend it!

Makayla is back for her 4th year at Grave Digger Academy. There is a new headmistress and she has come with a lot of new ideas. There are also a lot of newer students this year and she is unsure who she can trust. This book has a lot of interesting characters that will keep you engaged. The story is a bit fast paced but it doesn’t lack for any sort of details. If you are interested in reading this series I highly suggest you start from book one as they build on one another and you will get the best understanding that way.

Another amazing continuation of the series with book 4! The old and new characters in the story bring to life the Academy. The writing sucks you into the story as if you were there watching and not reading it. I can’t wait to read the next book to continue this bookish adventure!

Back for another year with our main Grave Digger Makayla. This year, there is a new headmistress running the show. The education path for all students has changed from previous years and in a major way. The Crones are watching her closely. And once more, Makayla doesn’t know who she can trust. This year is shaping out to be another difficult road.

Grave Digger Academy 4 by CA King is the fourth in the series of the same name. I have enjoyed this series this far but several times in this book I had the question of “why do I feel like I’ve missed something”? That said, I’m always a fan of the series and I enjoyed getting back to the academy. Following Makayla into her fourth year at the academy, there’s a new headmistress, new rules, more students than there’s ever been and a whole slew of new problems. It’s as if no one can be trusted this year and she’s starting to notice students going missing. This seems as if it’s her hardest year. Twists in the plot and a shorter story than usual but still a quick and great read. I’m excited to see what’s to come for Makayla! I’d recommend this series to those looking for a fast paced, clean, and interesting story!
