Incredible and captivating. I was already excited for this book, but from what I’ve seen so far in this sneak peek, it’s far exceeded my expectations. The characters all seem really complex, and I’m so looking forward to reading the rest of their stories.

I requested this sneak peek because VE Schwab books have been hit or miss for me. I didn’t care for Addie Larue or A Darker Shade of Magic…but loved Vicious and plan to read Vengeful soon. I wanted to get an idea if this was one I’d like. I’ll start by saying, I have preordered a hard copy and the audio book so I can finish once it’s out! The narrators are fantastic and the story is so unique. It’s definitely a slow start but where it left off had me so intrigued. I loved the different timelines and I am so ready to see what will happen with Maria and Alice!
Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the audio sample!

Okay please tell me why I didn't realize it said SNEAK PEEK!!!!!!!

I can't wait to finish the book! Luckily I have an ARC of the ebook so I don't have to wait for publish date!

This sneak peek was perfection and made me want to read the entire book. It was such a tease and V. E. Schwab has done it once again.

I was mixed on if I wanted to read this book by VE Schwab. I read my first book by her this year which I really didn't care for and people keep comparing this book to Addie LaRue. I am happy to say I did not find it comparable as much as people have said. Schwab is a great writer, even if I didn't like the characters or plot of Addie LaRue, and that really shows in this teaser. I look forward to completing this book soon.

Did I immediately go pre-order this audiobook before I even finished the sneak peek? Yes I did. This is my first V.E. Schwab book and I absolutely love her writing. I can’t wait to continue reading this book. The three narrators did a wonderful job at bringing us to the different time periods. I am hooked! Even though there are three different narrators and switching back and forth, it flows so well. I can’t wait to see what happened next.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for this sneak peak in exchange for my honest thoughts. As someone who DNF'd The Invisible Life of Addie Larue, I absolutely loved this. I am so distraught that my sneak peak is over and i can't consume the rest of this book right this moment. I was completely drawn in from the very beginning and can't wait to get my hands on this! Definitely recommend, I can just feel the build up of feminine rage and "they get what they deserved". One of my all time favorite tropes. The narrators are absolutely perfect as well!

Loved this excerpt and can't wait to read the rest. Thank you to Net Galley for the chance to read the preview!

SCREAMING!!!! I cannot wait for this book to debut, toxic lesbian vampires ahhh!

I have already pre-ordered 3 copies of this book

A strong, lyrical beginning shows V.E. Schwab at her best.

Spellbinding, infused with the author’s signature rich writing, and highly addictive, the first twelve chapter of „Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil“ sucked me in and made me wish I had waited until even closer to the book‘s publication date to read them, because now I have to wait until June 10 to find out how it all ends.

From the first haunting introduction to „Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil“ („Maria, died 1532“), author V.E. Schwab pulls her readers into a gorgeously dark and emotionally rich world that only she can conjure. Fans of „The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue“, myself included, will feel right at home there, and yet completely unmoored in the best way. These first twelve chapters are a masterclass in atmosphere, longing, and the uncanny, with the author’s signature lyrical prose on full display. There are hints of folklore, whispers of the dead, and a mythic quality to the setting while the author continues to play with time and memory in ways that are both beautiful and brutal, each chapter a revelation.

The three female protagonists are already leaving their mark on me, with the kind of subtle development and aching vulnerability that made Addie LaRue unforgettable. Schwab has a rare gift for crafting characters who ache with want - for love, for meaning, for freedom - and this story feels like something just as timeless and devastating.

I cannot wait to see where this haunting journey leads.

The sneak peek of the audiobook, narrated by an impeccable cast lead by the formidable Julia Whelan, and also including Katie Leung and Marisa Calin, was a joy to listen to.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

„Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil“ is slated to be released on June 10, 2025.

i am so excited for this book!!!! i love anything VE SCHWAB and this book is going to get all of the hype that it deserves

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil - was just a sneak peek by V. E. Schwab. Narrated by Julia Whelan, Katie Leung, and Marisa Calin. And what I can say is “believe the hype”!
I believe I listened to 2 hours and 32 minutes of it. It was writing at its best. The narrators were of the highest standard, and I couldn’t get enough. If you’ve read this author before, you know what I mean by her style and how she just makes you want to do nothing but listen or read her stories. This one is going to be a bestseller. I feel it in my bones.
Thanks, Macmillan Audio, for this sneak peek via NetGalley.

Super excited to listen to the rest of this powerhouse of a book! Thanks NetGalley for the sneak peak!!

I had the privilege of listening to the first few chapters of this audiobook ARC in exchange for my honest review, from the one and only Net Galley (read on if you want to know why I'm profusely thanking them for this opportunity)

Bookies 🫢 16th century Spain with a baddie who has Aelin's cunning. A 21st century baddie from Scotland who has a very raw and beautiful connection with an English baddie (SAPPHIC !! LETS GO). Charlotte.. Who we have yet to learn about 👀

I listened to this book on my drives to work and found myself blushing, giggling, yelling, and overall so incredibly excited for the rest of the book to come out. Through this audio, we get not one, but THREE DIFFERENT AUDIOBOOK NARRATORS (read that again). Knowing each woman comes from somewhere different in the world, this made the story that much more immersive and exciting for me. I felt like I was right next to Maria as she walked around the Spanish market; like I was in the rain along side Alice while she has a romantic moment.

In summary... I love VE Schwab as an author. I think she has this unique writing style that makes characters jump right off the page. Not only that, her stories are so much fun to read because you just don't know what will happen next. I can't express enough how excited I am to continue listening to this book!!

I read this sneak peak in audio and I enjoyed it. I think it set up nicely for the rest of the story. I found the several main characters interesting and it was easy to get intrigued about the world building. I’m excited to read the rest when it comes out.

Fantasy is not generally my cup of tea, but sapphic vampires totally are. I really enjoyed the chance to try a part of this book and I am hooked! I can't wait to finish the audiobook.

Sounds great. Looking forward to hearing the full production with Julia Whelan, Katie Leung, and Marisa Calin.

amazing sneak peak so excited to finally get my hands on this book! ve schwab you are a queeeeeen thank you so much to the publisher and netgalley for this sneak peek of bury our bones in the midnight soil!

This sneak peek was everything I needed and more. Addie LaRue made me fall in love the V.E. Schwab and this audio sneak peek did NOT disappoint! So good and I cannot wait for release day so I can binge the whole thing! I am putting 4 starts for now but I am hopeful this will end up being a 5 start read!

Thanks to netgalley and V.E. Schwab for the sneak peak of the audiobook!

I truly can't wait to read the rest of the book!
The characters are everything I've come to expect from the author and I was immediately invested in each story. These 12 chapters are the perfect amount for me to be champing at the bit for the rest of the book.

Will review in full upon finishing the book.
