Grave Digger Academy is not the place anyone wants to end up. Last year did not go well and they need to win the inter-academy competition to keep the academy open. Makayla and her friends need to win, but something is wrong with the competition. This book was a quick enjoyable read.

We are now into year 2 of Grave Digger Academy for Makayla. Her family finally treats her like herself again after they hear what her mother has been hiding. She knows the academy is keeping her there since they know her ancestry, so she’s going to make this school the best it can be for her. There are academy competitions coming up against all the other schools, so no one was transferred as they need all the bodies they can get. She’s with her friends, and they go through a lot more together in year 2! Give this series a shot!

Sometimes second books in a series don’t live up to the quality of the first book, but I thought the author did a good job making the transition feel smooth. I thought the second book was just as enjoyable as the first. It was nice to already have an understanding of the main characters and basic plot, but getting to see the growth into the second year was interesting. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Overall this is a story that really picked up towards the end. The beginning is slower and at times confusing about what is going on. It just did not seem to flow well in the beginning or middle. It really picked up and made more sense towards the ending. I feel this storyline (which is truly different) has a lot of places it could go and intriguing characters that could be built upon. I liked the ideas of getting to the school the games and the other kids attitudes. The familiars are cute and the squirrel idea..fantastic.

This was the second book to the series. I absolutely loved the first one and this one did not disappoint. The way the author writes is really easy to follow, and the paranormal aspect is really intriguing. This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, from the action, suspense, and kids getting into shenanigans. These kids getting into some interesting situations, with mischief, making new allies, and bumping into old enemies. It really kept you not knowing what to expect. Absolutely loved this author and her amazing writing, can’t wait to see what be in store next time.

Grave Digger Academy is a new series to me, and I’m loving it. It is easy to read, but holds my interest. It is written for young adult, but I enjoy it in my 30s. This book continues where book 1 left off, as Makayla and her friend return to Grave Digger Academy for their second year. I think you need to read book one to understand what is going on, its not a stand alone. But the books are quick enough, just read them both. The 2nd book had just as much excitement as the first book did. I wish there was more details revealed around the Academy Games, but it was enough to understand the gist and enjoy it. I wish there was more description of how the treasures were discovered at the other schools, and more story to the secondary characters. We really only see what Makayla is doing. I want more on Griffin too!! I want to know his backstory, and look forward to book 3.

MaKayla and the rest of the group are back for year 2 at Grave Digger Academy, which means, no one has been able to transfer out. Eh- that’s probably a good thing since this year, the inter-academy games are happening and with Grave Digger Academy being small, but also on the Crones’ radar, they’re going to need all hands on deck-er-shovels?

Winning the games is really the only way to keep the doors of Grave Digger Academy open, so the choice isn’t really there for this group of students but when the game starts it’s clear something isn’t right. Can the competition end before it’s too late or are the gravedigger’s going to have a new job coming up?

Book 2 was so fun! I really enjoyed reading about year two, but it felt very rushed. The timeline with this book made the school year feel like it started and ended within days of each other, which according to the ending, isn’t what happens.

I would have loved to have more preparation for the competition and more character interactions throughout this book, but overall I’m quite happy with book 2 and can’t wait to see what year 3 brings!

This second book in the series picks up where the first book left off. I liked this book a little better than the first; the characters have more depth, the story doesn’t feel quite as rushed overall, and the reader learns a little more about the other Academies. I really liked that Makayla’s brothers make more of an appearance in Grave Digger Academy II. While Makayla is the youngest and the only girl in her family, she seemed extremely isolated and lonely in the first book; but in this second installment the reader sees that’s not really the case. Her brothers seem to be very protective of Makayla. I love C. A. King and can’t wait for the next book in the Grave Digger Academy series!

Grave Digger Academy year 2 is the continuation of this fun new series by C.A King. The story follows Makayla as she begins her second year at her new school, after the drama of the previous term she is hoping for a quiet year however that is not to be. The Inter Academy Games are about to start, and Makayla and her friends become reluctant participants but there is a gate crasher that is determined to change the rules. I liked this book, it is a fun concept and I really liked finding out more about the other characters such as Frankie and Makayla’s brothers, you also learn a little more about some of the other academies which was a good way of expanding this new magical world. I just wish this book had been longer, I got so engrossed in it, I wasn’t prepared for it to end. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Makayla is in year two of the paranormal academy, she knows she is not going to be placed anywhere other then the Grave Diggers. She has accepted her fate but when the headmistress signs her up for the inter-academy face off she knows trouble is just beginning. Will Makayla survive year two?

Another terrific story in this series. I like Makayla, she has grown from book one to two. I think she i s a great character who is finding herself while growing up. A really entertaining series that has me curious as to what is next.

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!

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?

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 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 />

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!

Totally loved this book! I have already been searching out the next one in the series.

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.

I highly recommend this read.

The way that C.A. writes truly drew me in from the very first page. The way that Makayla is portrayed as the main character is on point the entire book! I will definitely be reading the next book!

To start, the Dedication is very sweet. The author found a way to not leave anybody out on accident. Haha!
The author is extremely talented when it comes to world building and making you see what they see. The story is very reminiscent of a certain famous magical world mixed with the TV version of The Magicians (but not near as gritty), but still something all its own and creative. Makayla is spirited and spunky, which always makes for a fun protagonist to follow. I can’t wait to start the next novel in the series!

It’s simple. Gravediggers dig the graves while Grave Diggers keep the bodies buried.

No one wants to end up at Grave Digger Academy. So when MaKayla’s other choices in the paranormal academy system refuse her entry, the only thing on her mind is finding a way out. Of course, it’s not going to be that easy.

This was a fun, quick read about a young witch who just wants to find a way to fit in to the paranormal world. MaKayla is the only daughter in a family of bright sons and is trying to prove her worth when it seems her powers aren’t ready to shine.

Grave Digger Academy is her first year and with all the normal teenager drama comes a little more than they all bargained for. I loved this book and I’m so excited to get started on book 2 and see what happens in MaKayla’s next year! I think my only complaint is the timeline seems to run a bit fast.

This book was a fun interpretation of the world of witches. I enjoyed meeting the main characters and following them as they learned about themselves and where they fit in the madcap world they are a part of. The main character, Makayla, is funny and interesting. It was a joy to travel with her on this journey to discovering her magic and how she fits into the magical world. I have read other books from this author and was not disappointed with this book. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Makayla gets ready to attend her first year at an academy, but she doesn’t know where she is going at first. You put in your top three selections, and if none of them agree to take you, then you end up going to Grave Digger Academy. While attending her first year, she ends up making friends, enemies, and even frenemies. I love her personality. She also finds clues about her family ancestry. I immediately got the second book as soon as I finished! Thank you for making this story!
