- Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2023Mystery grows as everything changes. This book picks up shortly after the previous book. Near the end of the summer break before the next year begins. But the rules that caused her so many issues over break were just the beginning or what was to come.
Makayla has another important dream to a town known as Athenia where people go to be forgotten. Seeing and hearing the name Peacock she feels it’s important but unsure of the reason at first. Mary Meet won’t be taking over Grave Digger Academy (GDA) yet, but the Crones aren’t closing it either, yet. While initially excited and happy when she received her letter to go back to GDA that quickly changes. A bus meant for criminals arrives to take her to the academy, a new Headmistress Ulva Everbleed. The building looked amazing, but half renovated and at a standstill as the Crones took over, putting a stop to everything Mary Meet was doing. More students were present than she had ever seen there before and seeing Leo and Thomas she thinks things will be good. Only they give her the cold shoulder, Cali, and Frankie nowhere to be seen when a bomb is dropped on her emotionally. Only those who received a letter were allowed to return this year, but not everyone received a letter. Most were likely only there as an obligation to protect their families from repercussions if they refused to attend. Everything different, a new set of rules that must be followed and each person assigned to classes and not allowed to change them. Griffin is there and offers a truce, as they seem to only have each other. A warmth fills her with his smile and again as they shake in agreement, he says he will explain things later but then vanishes without a word of explanation. Not one to beat around the bush goes to the new Headmistress, asks about Mary Meet and why helpers aren’t allowed. Told Mary is being interrogated and will return when finished and helpers banned because of control. A parting word of advice to Makayla, stick to classes, slow and steady and watch out for others trying to use her to accelerate their accomplishments.
Why is Mary Meet being interrogated? How can she be used to help others accelerate their accomplishments? Why is she always the villain in the Crones stories and rules? Once again, the author takes us deeper into Makayla’s world where nothing is what it seems, and everything is listening with an agenda of their own. She thought this year was finally going to be her year, she had her friends, her magic had come in and she had eight helpers. Day one, helpers gone, friends gone, and her only ally, she hopes, is a guy no one can remember. The mystery and suspense continue to evolve leading to more questions and some answers can’t wait for the next book. Grave Digger Academy V is coming October 1st, 2024. What will Makayla face next?
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2023Grave Digger Academy IV is the most recent Grave Digger Academy series release. This book picks up shortly where the third book left off. For the most enjoyment, take my advice and read the earlier books before getting into this one. Makayla has returned to school, and there have been a lot of changes. There is a new headmistress introducing a new curriculum, her allies are gone, and she is the most disliked of students. Does Makayla have what it takes to figure out all of the underlying happenings at the school and in her world? The story is quickly paced to keep you on your toes. I have enjoyed learning more about the world of the grave diggers as Makayla has learned. I look forward to the next book in the series to see what happens next.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2023A new year begins with Helpers banned from campus and a whole new look to Grave Digger Academy. A new headmistress, new curriculum and a whole lot of new staff and students means you can’t trust anyone…
Makayla now has only herself to fully rely on for any answers about what’s happening in the magical world and trying to find help is proving to be hard. Can she survive year 4 without too much trouble?
This book starts out a little before term starts with a lot of rules that Makayla is having a bit of trouble following, but that’s nothing compared to what’s waiting for her when she makes it back to the academy…
This one, like the previous three just loves so fast! I want to keep going and then suddenly I’m at the end. It’s both refreshing to be pulled in so much that quickly and sad because I keep running out of pages!
It feels like I keep getting more questions to ask and far from enough answers. How will book 5 be enough to give me an ending?! Happy reading!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2023This is the fourth 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.
Can Makayla trust anyone, especially since Grave Digger Academy has a new sheriff in town, aka Headmistress Ulva Everbleed? Getting a new headmistress from whom they expected is not only strange but leads to several mysteries that no one will seem to give Makayla answers for, so it's up to her to find out what's going on at the academy. Being stuck at Grave Digger Academy was never where Makayla wanted to be, but over her last several years there she has become excited about the academy and her ragtag group of friends. It isn't until she gets her letter and returns that she finds some of her friends missing while others ignore her. What's going on? Why did her friends not get letters back to the academy, and why are there so many more people there than usual? What are the crones letting happen, and why do they seem worried about Makayla?
This is such a fast, fantastic read where we are drawn even more into Makayla's world! If you like magic, adventure, and mysteries, then you definitely need to check out this series!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2023No one wants to end up at Grave Digger Academy, but here are Makayla and her friends again. Mary Meet was supposed to be taking over at the Academy. But, things change and no one knows why. This short addition to the series has me wanting to read what happens next. Makayla and her friends have puzzles to solve while working together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this series- it just seems to get better with each new installment...
5 Stars
“The first new teacher of the year reared his ugly face. Mr. Ogre looked much the same as storybooks described a male of the fantasy species his name implied. Inhumanly sized both in height and weight. Check. A disproportionately large head. Check. An abundant amount of greasy hair, a fat, round nose, thick eyebrows, and protruding lower jaw. Check, check, check, and check. Of course, he could have been a Neanderthal. Somehow she doubted her new teacher was the missing link to anything though. An actual ogre was more likely, especially given the stench which accompanied him. Curdled milk. Yuck! A growl accompanied a loud belch. “Take your seats. Ahem.” He tugged at the loose skin on his neck. “Ahem. You.” He pointed with a fat finger at a girl in the front row of seats. “Fetch me some water.” A second belch blew her hair straight back. “Quickly.” The girl did as requested. Anyone in the class would have. They all knew what came after burps like that. Stinky gas was one thing. Vomit was another. There’d be a crowd in the sick room if their teacher upchucked on all his students.”
Grave Digger Academy IV by C.A. King is the fourth engrossing story in the Grave Digger Academy series by the talented C.A. King. It follows on from the previous three Grave Digger Academy stories and continues the adventures of Makayla and all the intriguing events at the mysterious Grave Digger Academy.
As we previously discovered, Makayla didn’t really want to attend Grave Digger Academy, at all, but has since had plenty of intriguing and testing adventures. There’s always more to Grave Digger Academy than expected. And in this instalment, Makayla will face some big changes, and more challenges, while also unearthing a few discoveries - about her world, the Academy, and herself - along the way. Welcome to the fourth year of Grave Digger Academy!
As expected, this is a wonderful addition to the series, and with the rest of the series- it is a superbly crafted paranormal fantasy with plenty of adventure, action, mystery, magic, the supernatural, wonderful quirky characters, dramatic developments, tension, intrigue, danger, and clever twists and turns.
Although this is a short story, it has the impact of a much longer novel- which I love. I can’t wait for more. Bring on Book #5!
Happy Reading…
Thank you, C.A King!
