Enjoyable and unique This was a fun supernatural read. A very different perspective of the supernatural world with The Soppronaturale refuge. The characterisation was brilliant with a twist on the standards. This is an easy read and the story has a natural flow. There is a lot to take in but the author cleverly weaves the layers within the storyline. With the action of the Gauntlet, the fate of the fairies, destinies, the powers each supernatural has and the secrets that must be kept, I was enthralled from start to finish. Really looking forward to The Guard.

Ahhh! We are BACK for the sequel. I really enjoyed this one! I love Makayla- and seeing how she was ostracized from her family was interesting. I was wondering how they would react to her being in the Grave Digger Academy. The inter-academy face off was a fun addition to the series. I enjoyed seeing how much Makayla has grown between the first book to now. I’m also kind of glad no one was transferred out of the school to another one- just because I really love the secondary characters in this series. Makayla is GREAT but they are all so funny! There was so much development in this book that really made me excited for the next in the series. Also how did I just realize this author also wrote Evil Sushi? <- one of the best reads I’ve read in awhile!!!

A teenage runaway, New Orleans, 90s alt ballads, and emerging magical powers—this summer is shaping up to be anything but normal.
16-year-old Miranda Stone wants to be a typical teenager, but when she, and women around the globe, develop magical powers, typical flies right out the window.
Miranda, feeling like danger could be lurking, runs away to New Orleans. New friendships and a job singing as the opener for a drag show, reveal to her how fun life can be. When her friends begin to develop their own powers, and the world erupts, staying off the authorities’ radar becomes more difficult. An unforeseen romance with a young woman compounds the complications. Bittersweet, real, and humorous, this novel is an exploration of love, found family, and how the world might react to supernaturally powerful women.

This book was fantastic! This is the second book in the series and takes us deeper into Makayla’s life while attending The Grave Digger Academy. This paranormal series is one that gets you to really sink your teeth in. This year during school, there is a competition. One that the school could use the win to make the school better. If they were to lose, the academy could be shut down. Makayla is on guard, there is someone who wants to take her down. Will she pull off the win or will her academy be closed for good?

Totally loved the first book and this one certainly didn’t disappoint. This author has been added to my favourites and I can’t wait for the next instalment.
Some of my unresolved questions were answered in this book and whilst you could read without having read book 1; I would highly recommend reading book 1 first.

King – Review by Michelle G
Grave Digger II is a fun and fast-paced book. C.A. King does an excellent job not only giving lots of information about Makayla and the others but making it very easy to visualize what the academy is like. It’s a YA paranormal novel, but I think readers of many ages will absolutely enjoy reading about Makayla’s second year at the academy.
As someone who has six siblings, I enjoyed the bantering between Makayla and her siblings. Even though they go to different schools and compete, her brother stands up for her when it comes to others messing with his sister. I can’t wait to see what is in store for us in the third book in this series.

I enjoyed this book. Makayl’s second year at the Grave Digger Academy proved to be just as adventurous as her first year. I loved watching all of the students grow in their magic. I have read other books by this author and I have enjoyed them all. This series is really good and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes paranormal stories.

Gahh!! The gang is back together!! Book one of the Grave Digger Academy Series was pretty great and what compelled me to continue on with the series. I LOVE a good series! The author did amazing in book two just as well as book one. You may very well read this book as a standalone, but would you really want to though??! Really glad I gave this series a read. Loved the characters, and loved the continued story from book one. I enjoy this authors writing so!! Most certainly looking forward to the next book in the series!!

King- Review by Samantha Snow
Makayla is back for year two at the Grave Digger Academy, she spent the end of last year segregated from her friends and dealing with all the snide remarks and open stares alone was tough, it wasn’t any easier when she was at home for the break, her brothers taunted her and her parents pretty much ignored the fact that she wouldn’t be changing Academies, nobody would be, the transfer position was withheld completely, so when she returns to the Academy, she is pleasantly surprised when her friends come up to see her at the entrance.
As the new year starts, the usual rules and regulations are set out, but before she can unpack, Makayla is summoned to the head mistresses office, she is expecting the usual warnings and being told to stay out of mischief, but what she doesn’t expect is to be thrown into the team for the inter academy face off this year, but then again, between the choice of that with her freedoms returned, or the Academy becoming a jail with a full complement of guards, Makayla knows which choice she will make.
The face off is between all the paranormal academies and the winners receive prestige and funding, both of which the Grave Digger Academy desperately needs, but they never seem to make the cut, they are hoping that this year will be different. The new year two teachers are introduced and classes are well underway when the team for the inter academy face off are chosen, it just so happens that Makayla’s friends are chosen to join in as well, but not knowing what they will come up against, they can’t really plan much, but Makayla has plans of her own.
When the Games roll around and the Academies players are in place, something seems wrong, it smells of rot and death and all journeys lead to the same place, no matter who travels or where they were originally heading and Makayla knows that this spells bad luck, but how bad could it get? In a world where mythical creatures and monsters abide and the Grave Diggers are the only ones holding them at bay, what new dangers lie in store for the group as secrets are revealed and truths realised in this fantasy adventure which will keep you on your toes throughout.

This is the second book in the Grave Digger Academy series, and you definitely need to read the first book to know what is happening in this one. It picks up where book 1 left off.
I enjoyed this story, but it felt rushed. The timeline was a a bit confusing as there are jumps in time that are not clearly explained, especially at the beginning. As it got closer to the end, it improved and things made more sense. I still wish we got more of a sense of the day-to-day routine of the school and got more insight into other characters.
I enjoyed the inter-academy games, and adored the squirrel antics!

King – Review by Katrina Evanochko
The Gauntlet is one action packed story that grabs you right from the start. The moment Link and Ommily see each other and that spark connects, I’m glued. What is it? Why is it there? They are the only two fae left and I’m intrigued to know where the story is going. New twist on the fantasy/paranormal. I loved it. Let’s have some more. The story is full of drama, adventure and an annoying human fiance.There are lots of supernaturals around. I loved all the characters. Such a variety to fit everyone’s needs. The chemistry is out of this world. I can’t wait to read book 2.

I was so excited to read this book after reading the first one. I love the continuation of the story. I felt like this book gave me a better understanding of the main character. This was a fun, entertaining read. The author knows how to keep you hooked throughout the book. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Excellent! Such a different take on the paranormal world, and I am addicted! It is nice to see that different paranormal beings can live together in harmony, except when a specific nasty woman gets jealous and wants a fight. Ommily is so naive to the world she truly belongs to and it is good to see her finally surrounded by her own people. Her and Link have an instant connection due to them being the last two fae, and it seems they are destined to be together. Watching their journey to each other and Ommily coming into her own as a fae in her new world is a fun ride. Them fighting in the gauntlet, and using their powers together and seeing how they work together is a great scene. I can’t wait to see what comes next for this pair.

Once again the Gave Digger Academy is full of adventure and shenanigans.
It’s Makayla’s second year attending the Grave Diggers Academy and they need participants for the inter-academy games. Win or lose, they are in for more than expected!
I thoroughly enjoyed being back in this world! The magic just keeps getting better and the school setting is fun and full of excitement. We see more of Makayla’s family and I’m falling for the different characters all over again!

King – Review by Mandy Kneale
I love every book in this series. I was so excited for a Christmas story just in time for the cooler weather. I have read the other books in this series, but I don’t believe that you need to read the others to understand this book. This was an enjoyable quick read with lots of action to keep me hanging on. If you want a fun adventure this is the perfect book for you! I highly recommend this series and this book!
Link thinks he is the last faerie in the world. He’s been looking for years for his other half and has given up ever finding her. Then one day, in walks Ommily. She is the missing half of their faerie pair, the epitome of protection for others like them. There’s just one hiccup… she has a fiancée. As Link helps her figure out exactly what she is and how she fits in at the Soppranaturale Hotel – where all otherworldly beings gather and thrive together- they are faced with some challenges. First and foremost, they have to survive together in The Gauntlet against the reigning champions, one of whom is Link’s jealous ex-girlfriend. Can they work together in a short amount of time? Will they be able to figure out how their powers complement each other’s in time to win The Gauntlet?
This is my first time reading this author. I found it to be a quick read that drew me in immediately. The characters were fleshed out pretty quickly and backstories were seamless with present time in the book. I didn’t want to put it down until I figured out what was going to happen. I feel like it was a good first book to a series and I am looking forward to reading more about Link and Ommily.

Another young adult book that hits the spot. I loved this book from beginning to end, and it’s a message that everyone can relate to in someway. Baxter went through the good and the bad like any kid does. Raised by a single mom and a dad who was no more than mystery he began to question the “what if.” From there A mysterious djinn, a bit of dark magic, adventure mixed with suspense, and some good friends take this story places you will not want to miss

The Virus of Beauty is the first book in this unique YA fantasy. With magic, witches and wizards this tale will delight those who love all things magical. It is fast-paced and action-packed with beautifully imagined magical realms, danger, mystery and suspense. The characters are likable and well-developed.
This carefully constructed magical world is in turmoil as the conflict and politics between witches and wizards continues. Add in a dangerous and deadly virus and 16-year-old Wilf must confront that which he does not want to.
Those that love YA fantasy will like this book so grab a copy and dig in.

This was a great sequel! It picks up where the first one ended, so you will definitely want to read these in order. I was excited reading the second one because I wanted the story to pick up a bit more and I wasn’t disappointed! Some of the things that left me confused in Book one were answered so I did enjoy this one a bit more because of that. I’m really enjoying this series so far and can’t wait to read the 3rd installment!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. A few parts were a little slow moving. Almost like there was too much description included. Every part can’t be action packed though. It was altogether a quick read. The climax had me on the edge of my seat. I cannot wait to read more books in this series. I love all things supernatural, and it’s a huge bonus when it’s a lot different and unique to what I’ve read before.

Grave Digger Academy II is the second book in the series, and sees Makayla return to the school no one really wants to be at for another year. This series is best enjoyed in order, so do start with the first book! It’s perfect for YA and teen readers who enjoy the magic school trope. In this book, Makayla and her classmates have to dig deep for whatever enthusiasm and affection they can summon for their school in order to succeed in the Inter-Academy Games. They had all hoped that by the start of their second year they would have transferred to pretty much any other school and now they have to prove themselves against the students who got into those schools in the first place. This is an exiting continuation of the series! Makayla has a lot to learn, and there are plenty of mysteries to unravel. Makayla is still coming to terms with what she’s learnt about her family history, and trying to get more information to help her understand this past and how it impacts her. It was good to see some more of Makayla’s brothers in this book! Caz and Tye are interesting characters, and it’s fun to get more family moments. This book gets five stars from me. It’s an enjoyable series, I’d definitely recommend it!

A book that focuses on keeping the supernatural hidden in plain sight? Sign me up! The little blurb about the book had me hooked and it did not disappoint! First page to the last I was captured in the story. Following along with Ommily and Link was like being transported into the book with them. The descriptions in the story were well written letting you easily picture the story. Not only do you get to experience faeries but vampires, werewolves, witches, and shapeshifters too. I highly recommend this book!

I am immediately going back now to start book 1, this was such a good, fun and interesting book.
MaKayla is going into her second year at Grave Digger Academy, and like her, no one was able to transfer out. The inter-academy games are this year and the Academy HAS to win to keep their doors open, so it’s probably better to already know each other. The games start and it becomes obvious quickly that something strange is happening. (As I have not yet read book 1, a lot felt a bit strange but it was all very interesting and fun)
Very cool writing, very cool read, and I’m looking forward both to year three as well as learning a bit more about the characters in book 1!

This fantasy was definitely different from the normal fantasy that I typically read. But it was different in an amazing way. Centered around a coming of age character with plenty of amazing support characters, magic, witches and more I simply couldn’t put this book down. This book was just perfect it was fast paced, and intriguing while the plot was full of originality and a uniqueness. So if you need a new read then look no further then this one

I really enjoyed this book. It had a little of everything, love, betrayal, attempted murder, and an ending that will have you saying “ oh come on” . I now can not wait to read the next book and see how things end up for Link and Ommily.
Link has been the only Fae for a very long time until Ommily walks into the Soppranaturale hotel. He believes she has no idea she is a Fae and he has a very dramatic reaction to her.
Ommily is at the hotel with her fiance and was drawn to it from the rumours about it. She ends up finding more than she ever could have imagined.

The cover of this book was honestly the first thing that drew me in. I have always loved all things supernatural, other than vampires and werewolves; fairies have always been my number one. Once reading the synopsis the author had me hooked and I had to read The Gauntlet and discover the mysteries within its pages. From page one we are in Links perspective as he sees Ommily for the first time entering The Soppranaturale Hotel. Drawn to her he cannot help the spark that ignites within them when their eyes meet for the first time, but there is one major obstacle, she is there with her human fiancé. Link believed that he was the last of the Fae, having searched the world repeatedly and finding nothing to give him hope of finding another like himself. Kyran the owner of the Hotel and vampire sensed the new Fae the moment she entered and was at Link’s side moments later to help. In disbelief Kyran informs Link that they are one in the same that she is a Fae making them the last two in the world. He is told that his soul mate has showed up on his doorstep and yet all he can think about is how she is someone else’s. Within hours of meeting, it is confirmed that she knows that she has powers and that she has perfected them and can use them as easily as breathing. When they are near each other they both feel stronger and more powerful, each reaching new depths to their powers that they hadn’t reached before. They are one another’s perfect opposite. Male Fae is the defensive side, they deflect attacks and are a shield. Female Fae is the offensive side, they can attack their enemies and manipulate the elements. Legends say that fairies or born in twos for this reason they each have their one spark that makes them an unstoppable force when together. They are both artist her preferring to draw while he prefers to paint. Link shows Ommily the grounds of the hotel, the gallery and tells her about the gauntlet, a place for the supernatural to practice their abilities without fear of humans seeing them. Everything within them tells them they belong together. Her engagement is painful not only for Link to witness them be together but for Ommily that must hide everything about herself while also submitting to Preston’s overbearing and controlling ways. This book was a perfect mixture of adventure, mystery, and curiosity on what would happen next. The author’s world is truly magical while also being normal to the humans that surround it. I cannot wait to read book two The Guard and see where Link and Ommily’s story will take them next.

“Gravediggers actually do the digging. Grave Diggers however, keep buried bodies where they belong -six feet under. ”
7th daughter to a which family is apparently an unlucky number as Makayla finds out in her first year at Grave Digger Academy.
Grave Digger academy is a fun, well paced book about a magical school and the group that gets stuck in the grave digger academy. Makayla, Cali, Frankie and Leo are all stuck in the grave diggers academy which none of them wanted or expected. They feel like they aren’t learning magic and all they want to do is transfer to a different school.
During the school year they do find there helpers which all grave diggers need. And plenty of other exciting things happen as well. This book is a great start to what is definitely be an amazing series.
More exciting things happen during the school year, like Makayla discovering her great grandmother was a necromancer (an banned form of magic) and a battle with Mr. Woolly a teacher who wants her to join the dark side and become who she was always meant to be.
