A while back, I read Finding the Fountain of Youth by C. A. King and enjoyed it. Another C. A. King book, Grave Digger Academy, popped up in my recommendations, so I added it to my TBR list. Here are my thoughts!
Synopsis (from the author):
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.
What I liked about Grave Digger Academy:
Grave Digger Academy was a fun read. I enjoyed the humor and almost lighthearted feel of the book. Makayla was a spunky character and her ability to involve others was a nice touch. The mystery surrounding her family added another layer to the tale. Overall, a good start to the series!
What I didn’t like about Grave Digger Academy:
My only complaint about the book was the timeline seemed accelerated in places. I understand you can’t cover every day of a school year, but time jumped around a bit.
Overall Impression of Grave Digger Academy:
Grave Digger Academy by C. A. King was a quick read. Good characters, good humor, and a lighthearted tone made it a fun book. If you enjoy YA paranormal fantasy, read this one!
My rating:
4.5 Stars (rounded to 5 stars)
