This sneak peek made me so excited to read this book. I can’t wait to see how the different storylines come together, and each one individually was so gripping. This book was already on my TBR, but now I’m extra excited to read it (or hopefully finish listening to it since I loved the audio). I found myself wanting more from each of the storylines. This sneak peek left me wanting more!

Thank you to NetGalley and MacMillan Audio for the Sneak Peek listening ARC!

The narrator balances the characters very smoothly, and the sneak peek gives us great pacing but keeping the reader enthralled and intrigued by what happens next! Excited to read/listen to the rest of this!

I was already so excited to read this book but this sneak peek really pushed me over the edge. Julia Whelan is one of my favorite narrators and this is a great example of her work. The other two narrators were great as well, I just wasn't familiar with them. The story is immersive and captured my attention right away. Happy pub day to what is sure to be a favorite read of the year!

I was so happy to get a sneak peek of this book. I has been my most anticipated book of the year and it did not disappoint. The narrators were excellent and this might be my favourite V.E Schwab book yet!

I was immediately sucked in to this book after the first chapter. I read the Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and some parts of this book reminded me of that one. I liked how there were different narrators for each character and how they had different accents as well. I also appreciate how there is diverse LGBTQIA+ representation in this book. I am not always a fan of having multiple POV's in stories, but in this book it's necessary and I am equally interested in each story going on. Having multiple POV's helps with the pacing of the book and makes it a quick read that keeps your attention. I can't wait to read the rest of the book and see how the 3 main characters stories' come together.

I'm so excited this is out in the world now! I loved this sneak peek and can't wait for the rest. The characters have really come to life here (even though they are undead) and I'm so sucked into the story.

Thank you Netgalley, V E Schwab and Macmillian audio for the audio seek peek of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil.
Narrated by Julia Whelan; Katie Leung; Marisa Calin

This audio of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is a 2 hr seek peek of the audio that will be released. I have read the Shades of Magic by V E Schwab and I really enjoyed her character's and her world building. This book is no exception! I know it was only a 2 hr snippet but the beginning of this book will grab you and not let you go! Both her world building and character's that have been introduced are captivating, atmospheric and mysterious. Before `I knew it, the sneak peek had ended and left me wanting the whole book !

Our narrators Julia Whelan; Katie Leung; Marisa Calin have beautiful voices which definitely bring the whole book to life so Im really looking forward to reading and listening to the whole book!

5 stars for this sneak peek

Thank you to Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for this SNEAK PEEK read. It was only about 15 chapters or so and WOW!

There are so many great parts of this story taking shape and weaving their way around each other. I can't wait to read the rest of it and really think this will be a 5 star read. V.E. Schwab will do it again, no doubt! I want to know more about all of the three women that we've met so far and learned about their stories. Lesbian vampires, toxicity, violence.

Can't wait for more!

A very promising and intriguing start to this book. The narration is fantastic— having different narrators for the POVs really enhances the experience. I cannot wait for the full thing!

This is EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED! I cannot wait to continue this book and would love love love to continue it as an audiobook! Thank you so much for the sneak peek!

Based off of a short sneak peak, I can only really give a rating of how it’s going so far - a solid 3 stars but I have yet to get to the meaty bits.

The vibes and the writing does make it feel like this will end up being a 4 star book..

It is now release day and I will be reading on. I’ll come back here to update final thoughts once I’ve completed reading it.

Okay, I am obsessed! I need the rest of the book IMMEDIATELY! In my opinion, V.E. Schwab can do no wrong, but this might possibly be my new favorite!

Thank you netgalley for an ARC of this book!

While the arc is only the first 15 chapters, this was SO good to tide me over until the full release. I am SO SAT for this story, i preordered the audiobook so i can pick right up :)

Full review later when i finish the entire story!

A multiple POV of three women in Santo Domingo de la Calzada, 1532, London, 1837, and Boston, 2019. Bury Our Bones promises a tale woven together of women searching for freedom, revenge, and no regrets… oh, and did I mention this is a vampire book?
I’m interested in seeing how this book will come together. After listening to a sneak peek of this book (about 2 hrs - 12 chapters), I think the narration is well done, and it captures the essence of the characters well. I’m excited to see the characters transform more as their stories continue and connect. V.E. Schwab does a good job of bringing these different women to life and in setting three completely different times and story lines up to make you wonder how that connection will work. I need to get into the vampire bits ASAP. All vampire books have different lore and versions of vampires, and I’m excited to see V.E. Schwab’s take.

Thank you Macmillan Audio for making this sneak peek available!

Is it crazy to give the book 5 stars even though I haven't finished it yet? I'm loving this book so far and I CAN NOT WAIT to get my hands on the rest of it. The narrators are amazing and are doing a phenomenal job bringing this story to life.

V E Schwab. is forever and always and auto buy author for me and this one is definitely no exception

V.E. Schwab is quickly becoming an auto-buy author for me! I love her works. I received a sneak peek of the audiobook version of this novel, and it was absolutely fantastic. She had me at vampires, but listening to the narrator establish the mystical setting was what truly showed me that I couldn't put this book down. Schwab's lyrical writing and ability to create atmosphere is second to none.

I can't wait to get my hands on the full book, adding to cart as we speak!

This is my first V.E. Schwab book and this audiobook immediately had me hooked. The narrators bring distinct accents that breathe life into this story of the female experience. I hope to do an immersive read (audio + written reading) once the book is released. The story goes back and forth between the different ages and the women in each timeline - this pacing is satisfactory and no one timeline overpowers the other. The tone for each woman is distinct and I am intrigued and hungry for their stories and appreciate how raw and honest they are about young womanhood. Just from this sneak peek, I can tell this is a story that supports "women's right and wrongs" - meaning that I seek justice for the women dismissed to only have worth as child-bearers and that women can't have "unladylike" attitudes/thoughts. I can't wait for the rest of the story!

Ahhh! This was such an amazing sneak peak! I can’t wait for the book to release tomorrow to listen to the rest! The narration has been amazing and the story just pulled me in!

I'm already obsessed and definitely need to continue reading the book! All three narrators in the audio book are fantastic, bringing the characters to life. The story is rich with intrigue and is perfect for fans of V.E. Schwab who particularly loved Addie LaRue, it doesn't hurt one of the narrators is Julia Whelan! I can't wait to find out what happens.
