YES! I am so, so excited for this book. The sneak peak just increased my excitement tenfold.

Cannot wait for the entire novel!

Synopsis: A story of three women spanning centuries each searching for their own type of freedom and each finding it in an unexpected way. Also, vampires.

Thoughts: I don’t even know how to describe this sweeping, genre-bending story. I absolutely loved it, though. This is how vampires should be done - the bar has been raised for every vampire book I read from here on out. The story starts with Maria in 1532, then we meet Charlotte in 1827, and finally Alice in 2019. Spanning centuries and continents, we get to see each woman’s story unfold in such a compelling and well-paced way. I could not put it down. The writing is beautiful, and the characters are just amazingly crafted. I highly recommend this book, even if vampires aren’t usually your thing! Based on this preview, the audio is excellent!

I cannot believe I was fortunate enough to get to read the first several chapters of this book. I was absolutely hooked. V.E. Schwab brings these very different women to life in such a captivating way. I felt equally invested in each woman's story, and I cannot wait to read the rest of the book. I highly recommend picking this book up as soon as possible.

This book so far is super intriguing. At first it started a bit odd. I can't wait to see how all of the book comes together!. Only got a preview of first 12 chapters. Pre-ordered the book now! Excited for tuesday.

THIS. BOOK. IS. FANTASTIC.

I was lucky enough to receive an early ARC from the publisher but wanted to also give the book a listen and was super excited to see that we could get a little sneak peek. First and foremost, the way that V.E. Schwab makes you feel like you are living alongside these characters is something that is so stunning I can't even comprehend. More importantly the way that the audiobook narrators are able to bring these voices to life gave me chills.

This book is truly so dark, gothic, and beautiful I do not think I will stop talking about it any time soon. Thank you again to TOR and Macmillan Audio for the opportunity!

I am so excited to read Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil! This sneak peek was delightful and I really enjoyed the narrator. Luckily I’ve already got my copy preordered and can’t wait to see how the story continues!

Thank you to V.E. Schwab, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for a free sneak peek in exchange for honest feedback.

This is shaping up to be SO GOOD i can't wait for tomorrow. The audio was great. The introduction to the characters is great. % stars so far

Loved the narrators!! Made me even more excited for this book to come out. I have already preordered the audiobook.

First of all, I have to say that the narrators did an amazing job! Their voices added so much depth and emotion to the story. I didn't know what to expect going into the book, but was pleasantly surprised with how intrigued I was by the story. V.E. Schwab did an amazing time crafting her characters and making the reader feel the emotions they were going through.

Listening to this sneak peek of this audiobook definitely made me want to read the rest of the book. I was so engrossed by the story and want to know more about the characters and what the future holds for them. It's hard to fully rate this book with only listening to the first 12 chapters, but I hope I can read the rest soon!

Thank you to NetGalley for this instant approval sneak peek of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. The only complaint I have about this is that I am not patient and hate having to wait until June 10th to finish this story. I will definitely be buying this book to find out the ending, I am HOOKED! This fabulously written story follows three timelines of three women. The voices in narration helped everything flow and keep me immediately engaged. I am a huge fan of V.E. Schwab and it looks like this story is going to be no different. I cannot wait to read more about vampires and am happy for the lesbian inclusion. 5 stars so far.

4.5 stars!

In this book three young women from different historical times and locations—Santo Domingo de la Calzada in 1532, London in 1827, and Boston in 2019. Their lives are interconnected, with each woman having a unique growth path: one is ambitious and strives for height, one is grounded and deep, and the other is free-spirited and untamed. Despite their differences, they all possess a fierce strength and they bite!

I had the delightful fortune of snagging a sneak peek audiobook, and let me tell you, I was thoroughly captivated by the story and the narrators! I've even put in a request for the book itself—fingers crossed that it finds its way to me soon!

Imagine if "Twilight" and "Bridgerton" had a literary love child, set in its own unique time and style. This tale is a delightful blend of suspense, insight, and intrigue. While it’s not my usual go-to genre, the buzz surrounding it was impossible to ignore, and I was eager to dive into my first book by this author—and I’m so glad I did!

Though it’s a lengthy read, every page was a treat. I can hardly wait to immerse myself in more of this author’s work!

Thank you, MacMillan Audio, for the digital ARC copy. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I loved this sneak preview of the audio! Julia Whelan as María is so perfect, and the accents of the other narrators really bring the story to life. I can’t wait to continue with the story once the book is out!

I have only listened to the first 12 chapters of this book since this was a sneak peek but so far I am intrigued and eager to find out how the lives of Maria and Alice will come together. Maria is in Spain in the 1500s and newly married to a wealthy husband. Alice is an Irish Boston college student in 2019. The narration of Julia Whelan, Marisa, Calin and Katie Leung is so good! I am impatiently waiting on this book to come out so I can get to the meat of the story!

Absolutely fantastic narration in this sneak peak! Julia Whelan is the GOAT; every book she performs is such a phenomenal experience.

LOVED THE FIRST TWELVE CHAPTERS!! I wish they had been able to give me the whole audiobook! i am absolutely gonna read the while thing the minute I get my hands on it

I didn't realize this was a sneak peek. Going to read it instead of listening since I have another copy!

This sneak peek was everything! I am already so hooked. From the beginning I knew this was going to be a great read. This is one of my most anticipated reads of 2025 so I was so excited to have the opportunity to listen to a bit of it! I can already tell it’s going to be incredible as a audiobook.

Hooked me from the get go. Enjoyed this sneak peek! I will definitely be finishing it when it gets released for a better review. This was only chapter 2-13.

What a tease! I will be at a release party and cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of this book. Thanks for the sneak peak!

Being a huge fan of vampires I was elated to receive an audiobook sneak peak of Bury our bones in midnight soil. The story following the three main lead characters from different centuries but Marie had me hooked and intrigued from the very first chapter! The narration is done so well with different female lead characters that brings the story to life in an extraordinary way. I cannot wait for the full book release on June 10th. I see why V E Schawb is so well respected as an author!
