Book 2 takes us further into the series and is just as amazing as book 1. We get a closer look at the academy. McKayla is a force this time around and with her fellow students they are in for some games that make a break for the academy. Action, magic, and soo much of the unexpected this time around. I loved every chapter this book helps and could not get enough of the journey within it!

After much anticipation when this wonderful second installment hit my Kindle I had to stop what I was doing and read it immediately. This book was filled with amazing characters, a great plot, and enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat. Personally I would recommend reading the first installment just to get familiar with all of the characters and the back story, but trust me when I say that book two is just as good as the first. Personally I can’t wait to dig into book three and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

King – Review by Stephanie Nicole
This book picks up when the new school year starts and Makayla is heading back to Grave Digger Academy! You definitely need to read the first book in the series to be able to follow the storyline. I’m a huge fan of this author and really enjoy her easy writing style. She always jumps right in to the story and grabs your attention right from the start. I love Makayla’s character and headmistress Meet. There are some unexpected plot twist that will keep you on your toes for sure! I really can’t wait to read book 3 to see where the author takes us on Makayla’s journey!

King – Review by Carla Clemmons
Grave Digger Academy II by C. A. King is book two in the Grave Digger Academy series. It is time for Makayla to join her class for her second year. With all the happenings of last year, and the professor still out there, Makayla needs to be on her best behavior. The headmistress has agreed to allow her to speak to her friends under the guise that she and they participate in the inter-academy games. This forces them to learn to work together and put all their differences aside. Although they feel as thought that’s haven’t truly learned magic, that focus on their individual strengths and learn more about themselves. Unfortunately, something or someone stands in their way and the bad things tend to follow Makayla. Will her helpers be able to actually help? Will her friends bother to rescue her? All questions answered thankfully! I have to say I’m quite enjoying the fast paced storytelling. It’s fun and easy to read and makes for a quick dive into the paranormal.

King – Review by Kristan Anderson
Another great book in this series. This is Makayla’s second year at the Grave Digger Academy and hopefully it is a good year full of magic and friendship. The beginning starts out with Makayla being dropped off for her second year of school, and it immediately is a disaster, story of her life recently. Everyone is still looking at her weird, and her professor (AKA a necromancer) is still on the loose, the only positive note, is she can talk to her friends again, even though everything won’t go back to the way things used to be. The headmistress has signed up Makayla and her friends for the inter-academy games in order to “Show” the Crones that she is not evil nor a necromancer. Will this year turn out great or will it be another disaster? Will they actually learn magic this year at school, or will they be left to fend on their own once more? I cannot wait to read book three!!!

King – Review by Helen Dawkins
I enjoyed getting to read the second book in this series and I am looking forward to reading the third book as well. I thought it did a great job in uncovering some of the mysteries that book 1 set up, while still leaving some mysteries for the third book to hopefully answer! At times, it did feel a bit rushed in parts, but I definitely enjoyed branching out to the other schools and meeting some other students as well. As always Makayla is a fantastic heroine, she is hard-working, but isn’t afraid to ask for help when she needs it, and has a ton of sass and attitude along with it. I loved her newest helper and thought character was extremely adorable and fit right in with her other two helpers. If you are a fan of paranormal YA books, this is definitely a series you don’t want to miss!

King – Review by Amanda Haller-Doris
Grave Digger Academy II is the second book in the Grave Digger Academy series. Makayla and her classmates have returned to school and are in for a challenging year. There is competition between the academies and the Grave Digger Academy students are the underdogs. I enjoyed the further escapades of Makayla and the gang. They are learning more about their capabilities and growing into them. I also liked that there were interactions with students outside of their school. The teachers are enjoyable as well, and got a bit more time in this book. I enjoyed this book even more than the first and can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

King – Review by Sheri Schrader
Grave Digger Academy 2 by C.A. King is a fun, fast paced, ya, paranormal read that you don’t want to miss. This series gives you a Harry Potteresque feel as you learn magic with the witch, Makayla and her unique friends.
In this second installment Makayla finds herself returning to Grave Digger Academy for her second year along with the rest of her classmates, since no one made the honour roll last year making them miss out on the coveted academy transfer position. GDA is still thought of as the lowest of low magical academies, so it is dire for the students to win the upcoming inter-academy face off or GDA will face closure. Can the students find their strengths and persevere in the trials bringing prestige to themselves and back to Grave Digger Academy, or are the cards stacked against them? What all will they discover about themselves, their competition, and the academy along the way?
This series has everything you want in a ya paranormal book such as: action, magic, interesting characters, great world building, and an interesting storyline. I’m really glad I found this series and can’t wait to read the third installment.

I just love this series. I really enjoyed book 1 and was so excited to start book 2. It was as fantastic as the first. Full of suspense and action. I read it all in one sitting, I didn’t want to put it down. Definitely recommend.

There is a distinct building of character and plot which holds you in their world.<br />Makayla is a seventh born to a witch family, this in itself is a thing of myth, as well as being the only girl this continues to follow the myth. First years of school are not allowed access to areas or town, they have not been taught the art of the Grave Digger, but Makayla and her counterparts (as friends is a too strong description) are determined to find their own way. We discover as we wave through the story that there are secrets a few generations ago and this along with magical jewellery, is Makayla the one to bring back to force the art of Necromancy. Once the first years have found their familiars Makayla stands out even more. Add to the intrigue the seemingly forgettable Griffin and possible Tutor turner evil Professor Wooly.<br />I cannot wait for the next in the series as I know I will enjoy reading how the story continues.<br /> <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/34425105-tracy”>View all my reviews</a>

King – Review by Tracy Greenhalgh
Grave digger academy was adorable and sinister all at the same time. I really liked the students and the friendships they formed all except for Frankie, she seemed abnormally bitter and cranky about her past for reasons unknown to the reader yet. She came across as a hateful, unbearable, bully to everyone. I’m very curious to know what’s up with Griffin, why he seems so mysterious, and why everyone forgets him. I enjoyed the whole story but I adored the helpers Puffer, Gargle, and little Boris, who was almost a necromancies sacrifice, and how they aided/saved Makayla. I will definitely be looking forward to the rest of the series to find out what happens next.

King – Review by Micalah Weatherholtz
I enjoyed the concept of a paranormal book series surrounding a strong and witty female lead character. So I was excited to jump head first into this book. Now that I am finished, I cannot wait to read books 2 and 3.
Like most young folks, Makayla hopes to get into the school of her choice but there is always a chance of only getting accepted to the Grave Digger Academy. When she finds out that she was chosen for the inevitable Grave Digger Academy, she is crushed, and her family is heartbroken. What’s a girl to do other than make the best of her situation since she has no other options, right?
I enjoyed how easily the story flowed and found that I read this in one sitting. While I experienced this in a short period of time, I found that it packed a punch. It had everything that you need: a great plot, well developed characters, and a lot of activity to keep you enthralled throughout the pages. Plus, who doesn’t love a good story that has a magical fantasy plotline? You’ll enjoy reading through M’s progress from someone who hates the idea of attending the academy to maturing to a talented student.
I think anyone of any age will enjoy this book and be intrigued to try the entire series. I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars.

Second year in the paranormal academy world Makayla finds herself returning to Grave Digger Academy. She isn’t alone in the return for another year. The position for transfer to another academy did not happen for any student at the academy. All bodies are needed to compete in an inter-academy face off with the other academies. A loss would be devastating to the school ensuring that its doors would close for good, but a win could get them the financial needs toward the school. What would happen in the paranormal world if the Grave Diggers didn’t keep the dead six feet under?
What could be better than having the gang back together and competing to keep their school open? Something foul smelling and out of place or will these inter-academy games be smooth sailing for the Grave Digger students?
This read was just as exciting as book 1! I flew through the story in just one sitting. It was good to continue on with Makayla and the other students in this second installment of the series. I cannot wait to continue on with book 3.

King – Review by Ayla Eddy
Grave Digger Academy is the first book in this series by C.A. King, the story followed Makayla, the youngest child of a very successful magical lineage who is ready to start her first day at the magical academies. Makayla is not the same as her brothers, who are all very accomplished in their areas, and she ends up at the Grave Digger Academy, the least respected of the magical schools. Not everything is as it seems at her new school however, the teaching staff refuse to talk about certain subjects, and she feels that there is something sinister lurking in the shadows. This was a fun novel and did well at introducing the different characters in the new magical world. I enjoyed it, would recommend to younger readers who like the paranormal genre.

A witch’s placement in one of their chosen academies is an important day. What they don’t want to find is that they have been assigned to the Grave Digger academy. Makayla, who already feels like an outcast when it comes to looks and magical affinities when it comes to her family, is really hoping to get into one of her first choices. But, when she wakes up and sees no notice from an academy, she has a feeling that this isn’t going to end the way she wants it to.
After an eventful trek to her new campus, she quickly learns that everything at Grave Digger Academy is not as it seems. She quickly finds herself under the watchful eye of those in charge because she has more questions than answers…and she just keeps asking them. When a bout of boredom leads her wanting to take a trip into town, Makayla finds herself in a situation that begins to shed light on what is really going on….but also allows her to learn more about herself than her parents (or any teacher) ever told her. But…not that she knows…what is she going to do about it?!?
This story moved quickly through a year at Grave Digger Academy. There is a lot of information about the witching world given…and a lot of questions left unanswered. I found myself invested in Makayla’s situation and am interested in finding out what happens next.

King – Review by Rosanna Ingram
Another great book in the series. This time the group comes together for the Inter-Academy games. What could go wrong? The students are forced to find their inner strengths and their bond with their helpers. You can feel the growth in the students and their confidence in themselves. I really enjoyed seeing those who were thought to be from the lessor school overcome the tasks at hand and show that they are also a force to be wrecken with but can also come together to save those in need. Overall, a fun quick read.

King – Review by Amanda Glaspie
Grave Digger Academy is an exciting take on the paranormal ongoing. C.A. King transports you to a world of a young lady, Mikayla, who is 1 of 7 siblings and is the outcast, odd ball, misfit, etc. She doesn’t look like her family but hopes to follow in her siblings footsteps by attending one of the schools they attended. To her surprised, she’s selected for a school that wasn’t on her list: Grave Digger Academy. Of course she’s upset having to go to a school she didn’t want to attend, but she quickly makes friends and starts adventures and stories beyond what she could’ve imagined.

Grave Digger Academy II is a good YA paranormal fantasy. I said it with the first book but this book has more of a Harry Potteresque feel to it as the students line up to win the inter-academy face off. I love that the series is fun and light hearted.
Young Witches, death, graves, deadly games and the adventure begins. The story flows nicely and is excitingly intriguing with delightful characters. There are still so many layers to be explored and revealed that looks exciting.
Makayla is back for her second year at the Grave Digger Academy and finds there is still so much more to the Academy. An Academy with lots of secrets and things that are hidden within the grounds and in the darkness.

King – Review by Jenni Bishop
Grave Digger Academy II by C.A. King follows on from Grave Digger Academy and continues the intriguing adventures. It is a fantastic YA paranormal fantasy with plenty of mystery, action, tension, intrigue, and dramatic developments. As we discovered in Book One, Makayla didn’t want to attend Grave Digger Academy, but didn’t exactly have a choice. She soon discovers that there was definitely more to Grave Digger Academy than she expected. In this instalment Makayla is about to start her second year, and after what happened in Book One, things are off to an interesting start. With an inter-academy challenge thrown into the mix, there’s plenty of tension in the air, while bringing a huge dose of the unexpected – and so the supernatural adventure begins. Another fun read! Looking forward to Book #3!

This installment has a ton of HP vibes, especially with the flying car and the competition among the schools. I enjoyed the story and the character development. You get to know more about the main cast of characters in this book, which was interesting. I particularly liked the scenes with the helper/familiars and the addition to that group. As with the first book, I liked that the author doesn’t put in a bunch of fluff. The story is right to the point with no unnecessary detours. Quick read. Excellent follow up to the first book.

King – Review by Naomi McDonald
I can not wait to read books 2 and 3!!! I LOVED this book! I love most supernatural books, but I love seeing the character’s at a young point and then watching them grow. In this book we are talking about academy age. So your reading about young witches and different skills they can have or already do. Just like everything you have to learn the skills you are meant to have and then develop them. Makalya is entering her first year of the paranormal academy system, but first she must pick where to go! She gets three choices and if none of those accept her, she goes to the back up academy that no one EVER picks themselves! When she gets no word on the first day of school she has to find her own way with a slip from the library. Talk about a crazy adventuress first day! She’s thrown into a sink or swim maze to find where she needs to be. Unfortunately all three of her picks didn’t accept her and when she finds her path it is right to Grave Digger Academy!! All of her other six siblings went to great top schools. What is she to do, being the first of the family to be put into the worst of the worst!?? She hears of a way out of the school and being transferred to another school, but there is no way she will ever earn the top of the top marks in a curriculum that she’s not even interested in learning! She has more than one scolding about her interests, but looking for answers about illegal witchcraft and her being the seventh born are at the top of her priorities right now. As school progresses she’s half learning about grave diggers and what they do, but it’s not until she is thrown into a bet with another student that she wishes she paid more attention! Something is off at the Gave Digger Academy and she’s only just beginning to learn some of it. Will she make it through the year? Does she even want to, when she has to face her family once she returns home?! With the crazy start to the year, how will the year end? They is certainly a lot to learn about the corpses and how temperamental they can be! Will she survive the dangers of the school or will the headmaster expel her before she can get any real answers. Why does she have more questions than answers?! Mystery, danger, adventures, and lots of witches! Read this young adult paranormal fantasy to learn more! I’m off to get book 2!!

King – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn
I enjoyed this quick read about a girl that finds herself at a magical school. It had elements that reminded me of the Mortal Instruments, Harry Potter, or House of Night vibes. It was magical with a hint of dark lore and I loved that the undead was a part of the story as well. This was definitely a fun, easy-to-read book that left me wanting to read the next book to answer some of my questions.

I really enjoyed this book. The premise was interesting. The characters were easy to connect to. Loved the helper/familiar character additions. A big bonus for me is that you get enough information about what’s going on, without a bunch of extraneous details. It keeps things right to the point of the story without a ton of fluff. This story doesn’t end on a cliffhanger per se, but it does leave you with questions that will make you want to keep reading the series. If you want a quick, entertaining read, check out this story!

King – Review by Naomi McDonald
This was a really good quick read. I get Harry Potter vibes but with a twist. Makayla ends up at the school no one wants to attend, herself included. What she soon finds out, she is there for a reason. This fast paced magical book packs a punch in only 150 pages with the ending leaving you wa ting more. I felt for her as she made and lost friends, as she feared for her life, and as she sought out hope. There were parts that I felt it sped through but for a short book, did a great job. Can’t wait to read the 2nd book.

King – Review by Amanda Glaspie
Makayla is not sure what school she will be chosen too, there are so many options in the paranormal academy but the one no one wants is the Grave Digger Academy. Her first day is met with confusion and when she finds out she is assigned to the Grave Digger class, she is less then thrilled. That being said, none of her talents appeared until her class and now she seems a bit ahead of the curve. Something is going on though and only Makayla seems to be able to unravel it but could it end up costing her more then she thinks?
I thought this was really good. I felt for Makayla, she is trying to find her footing and with a bunch of older siblings to live up to it is even more pressure added on her. Well written and was one you kept reading until the very end.

King – Review by Emily H
I love this author for all they create and write, I have been reading books by them for quite some time now. This book installment in this specific series, was one I could not wait for! It was very much worth the wait!
I loved the first one with the paranormal aurora, the characters, and everything to do with the academy! This one I loved just as much. It was so awesome reading about MaKayla again and her friends, with studies and games to participate in, as well, as something less than kind is lurking in the academy walls. The book gave a lot of action, suspense, as well as intrigue. I couldn’t put this down, I was constantly wanting to know what would follow! I have always admired this author’s writing style, and how they bring the story to life. No confusion, everything makes sense and comes together well! Great installment to the series! Loved it!
Great addition to the series, and I cannot wait to see what will happen next! This series as well as author, does not disappoint! Very much recommend this book, series, and author! Must read on all accounts!

King – Review by Lorrene Huisman
Gravediggers actually do the digging. Grave Diggers, however, keep buried bodies where they belong—six feet under.
It’s Makayla’s second year in the paranormal academy system, and she isn’t returning alone. No one made the honour roll last semester, and the coveted transfer position was withheld. It’s a good thing, too—GDA needs participants for the inter-academy face off. A win could bring back prestige and funding the institution so desperately needs. A loss, however, would close its doors forever.
This year’s students are about to learn there’s more to their Academy than meets the eye. Something isn’t right about the competition. It smells of the rot and decay only a freshly unearthed corpse could cause. Lucky for them, death is right up their alley.
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 different.
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…

Grave Digger Academy by C. A. King is book one in the Grave Digger Academy series. Though I’m not much into paranormal books, this was the perfect intro book for anyone. It was light and fun to read, quick and easy to follow. Makayla is going into her first year at a paranormal school. There is a lot of pressure since she is the seventh child and only girl. Makayla however ends up at the lowest of the low schools and it surprises everyone. Although it was not a choice of hers, it seems the school chose her, leading into a family secret that not even her father knew about. Gravediggers dig the graves, but grave diggers keep the bodies there. I’ll be interested to see how Makayla uses her abilities moving forward. The story is full of surprises, twists and interesting character development. I really enjoyed it from the beginning and look forward to the rest of the series!

King – Review by Kristan Anderson
Starting this book, I was having a hard time following along, I re-read the first couple pages at least 3 times, so I decided to just push through and hope that it was not going to be important for further reading. I should have just kept reading from the start and not went back at all because everything would start making sense soon enough. I appreciate the magical world that C.A King created. Instead of one magical school C.A.King created several so students can hone in and focus on their individual talents. Grave Digger Academy was a fun easy read, could easily read in one sitting. I really appreciated that it was a paranormal read that didn’t focus on a love triangle, there were no distractions with romantic relationships at all for this book. 4 out of 5 stars and the only reason I am giving it a 4 and not a 5, I wanted more! I would have gladly read 500 pages in book one. I am excited to see how the story continues with the books that follow.
