I can NOT wait for the rest of this book. The writing is incredible, the narrators are awesome. Julia Whelan, are you kidding me?! Great choices made, can wait to buy as soon as release day hits!

I am a huge fan of V.E. Schwab and this has been on my radar for a long time, so I was disappointed that this is just a sneak peak but that's also my fault for not fully reading the description. However, I really enjoyed what I heard and will definitely be reading the full book when it comes out.

I can't wait for this to be released and am already hooked! I'm excited to find out how all these stories intertwine. Each character's storyline is indeed their own, taking place across time, which makes you wonder where this story has yet to go, how these individual plots will begin to unfold. The writing is fluid and enchanting, it really drew me in right from the beginning. Thank you so much for the sneak peak!

Well, I gobbled this right up. I cannot wait for the rest of the book to come out, but I’m officially waiting for the audio. What performances! I’m dying to find out how this unfurls. I’m a huge Schwab fan all around, but this feels like it may be one of her best books yet. So excited, all the snaps!

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil Sneak Peek by V.E. Schwab
Wow. I can’t WAIT until this is released! It’s a story about three different women at three different times. They are all hungry and want more. The audiobook version is so immersive and impressive. I definitely want to listen to this one. I’m disappointed it was only a sneak peek, and I hope the full version is offered later. The writing and narration are beautiful, absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you to Macmillan Audio / Tor Publishing for providing this audiobook for review via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I was already excited about V.E Schwab's new book, and the sneak peak only heightened that excitement! The narrators make the audiobook feel super immersive. This is a multi-POV story, and I felt invested in all three character's perspective. Additionally, the writing was clear even though the perspective jumps frequently. The release date can't come soon enough!!
Thank you to NetGalley and MacMillan Audio for the sneak peak.

I am a great consumer of audiobooks and consider V.E. Schwab one of the greatest authors I have read in my lifetime. The Invisible Life of Addie Larue was a story that has stayed with me and I haven’t had another book touch me in the same way.
I have been following V.E. Schwab on social media and learned of Bury Our Bones In The Midnight Soil and began to seek out reviews from people with access to this work and became excited by them. Would this be the next book that marked me as Addie Larue had?
I was thrilled to see that I could sample these first 12 chapters, and while I am so pleased to have had this opportunity, I am also disappointed that I am unable to finish the full story. I listened to the 2.5 hours as soon as I downloaded it today.
Julia Whalen as narrator (Maria point of view) is as fantastic as always. She voices each character in a distinct, believable way and does accents well. Her voice acting really brings out Maria’s strong, independent, self serving side. Maria isn’t the most likable character but we see her trying to escape a life that was too small for her only to be made smaller by marriage.
I was able to hear one other Scottish narrator (other narrators are Katie Leung and Marisa Kalin) who pulled me right in as she played Alice’s point of View. Unfortunately, because of the sample being the first 12 chapters we do not get to the third characters point of view.
Though I didn’t get too far into the story I definitely didn’t want it to end and can’t imagine a world where I wouldn’t absolutely devour the rest of this book.
This will definitely be a selection that my audiobook club listens to and one that I won’t be able to stop posting about!
I hope that MacMillan audio or Tor publishing can make the rest of this book available to those who have listened.

I think this book is a part of my personality now. Its raw intensity stays with you long after the last page. Just as the characters cannot be sated, readers will be left hungry for even more.

I listen to a lot of audiobooks and can confidently say this one has my attention. Bury Our Bones is a FANTASTIC audiobook experience. The narrator’s really capture the spirit of the women and bring this story to life. I was absolutely entranced and cannot wait to listen to it in it’s entirety.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this audiobook sneak peak in exchange for an honest review.

This sneak peek had me absolutely entranced, and I cannot wait until 6/10 to continue. I am equally interested in all three main characters and thought the narrators did a terrific job.

5⭐️
I had a sneak peek at the audiobook read by Julia Whelan, Kate Leung and Marisa Calin who are excellent.
I absolutely loved the sample it must have been about 2 hours which became a problem for me.
I think I’d rather have had the whole book on NetGalley or nothing. I feel that the sample is too long, I’ll have to listen to it all again if I manage to get it from the library as I will have forgotten the storyline by then.
For those who love this author I’m sure that you won’t be disappointed by this book.
I’ve rated on what I’ve listened too and the books potential.

I’m in my toxic lesbian vampires era and I could not be happier! This is absolutely incredible. The writing is impeccable. The voice acting is impeccable. The story is impeccable. I cannot wait for the entire audiobook to release! I have a feeling it’s going to be my new obsession (I say as I already cannot stop thinking about it). Do yourself a favour and preorder this ASAP! Everyone will be talking about it.
Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance sneak peek in exchange for my honest review!

I want more!!! This was a great sneak peak and once the full length comes out I will be so happy to finish!

Thank you to Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for this speak peak alc in exchange for an honest review.
I was honestly sad I couldn't get an arc of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab so when I saw this sneak peak of the audiobook I nearly screamed with excitement. I adore this author and haven't read a single book of hers that I didn't love. And these first twelve chapters are no exception! The writing style immediately captivated me, poetic and flowing but still to the point and quick. The characters were so complex and layered, with secrets and hidden depths that I can't wait to discover. I can't wait for the whole book to release because I am desperate to finish the journeys these women are going on. The narration was amazing. I think the narrators really suit these characters and did a wonderful job bringing this story to life.

Thank you Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for an ALC sneak peek.
In these opening twelve chapters, VE Schwab builds the foundation arc of three hungry women who get their start in three separate periods of time: 1532, 1827, and 2019. Their ending, though, is still a mystery. While Maria’s perspective takes the majority of these chapters, we do get to see a little bit into the lives of Alice and Charlotte in this preview that has me asking questions about what’s next and how their stories entertwine like roots.
Julie Whelan shows the career under her belt, with her commanding storytelling with different voices. She’s become one of my favorite narrators. Katie Leung brings an emotive narration to Scottish college freshman Alice as she traverses being abroad and her identity. We only get one chapter with Marisa Calin, but I’m excited to hear more.

“Shall we stay out here or are you planning to invite me in?”
I should have waited…cause now I have to wait…but I couldn’t wait! Absolutely fantastic teaser sneak peek! So excited to continue the story.
Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the advanced sneak peek audio.

Crying, dying, screaming.
Thank you so much NetGallley and MacMillan Audio for the early galley. I absolutely can't wait to listen to the rest of this incredible story.

Wow! That was captivating! Just when you would start to really sink your teeth into a storyline it would take a twist you didn’t see coming or it would turn from one character and timeline to another completely. Just when you’d think another person couldn’t hold your attention in equal measure, you were proven wrong; you’d like the newest addition just as much as the one before.
This story has depth and intrigue. These characters multifaceted. You could feel a bit of a heavy darkness in each storyline right alongside their vivacity.
Twelve chapters was just perfect for a taste and yet not nearly enough! Very well done.
Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ALC of the first twelve chapters and to VE Schwab for sharing your brilliance.

Based on the sample provided, I will definitely be checking out the rest of the book when it is published. I’m excited to see how the 3 characters all intertwine at some point in the book!
As soon as Julia Whelan opened the book, I was reminded of just how much I love her as a narrator. Every book I’ve heard her narrate is absolutely fantastic, and she continued to do an amazing job in this book as well. I also really enjoyed Katie and Marisa’s narration.
What to Expect:
- Female rage
- Sapphic!
- Multiple timelines
- Multiple POVs
Thank you to VE Schwab, MacMillan Audio, and to NetGalley for providing a sample of an audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I was able to get an early sneak peak at the first 12 chapters on audio! The narrators are fantastic and really show off each character perfectly! My favorite so far is the narrator for Alice.
You get a multi POV across multiple timelines. You are following 3 women who will all interconnect at some point later in the story.
I am excited to read/listen to the rest of the story but so far it is good! It reminds me a little of Weyward with the different timelines and the women’s stories being interwoven and connected with the poetic story telling of Addie Larue. So if you liked either of those and you like vampires you may like this!
This is for you if you love:
✨ Feminine rage
✨ Vampires
✨ Sapphic romance
✨ Multiple timelines
✨ Poetic writing
Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ALC. All opinions are my own!
