Thank you Netgalley and publisher for a sneak peak of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

THIS IS GOOD? I can't wait for BOBITMS to be out in the world so I can continue this as soon as possible.

The narrators were excellent, it was the first time I enjoyed listening to an audiobook this much. The different accents made me gasp and the dictation was flawless. It nay be the first time I want to actually buy a singular audiobook both for plot/story-wise and narrators wise. Julia Whelan; Katie Leung; Marisa Calin. You three are all on my list now.

Plot wise is was purely diabolical to leave the sneak peak where it ended I'm angry at least one more chapter damn it.

Still, this, is for now is my fav Schwab book/audiobook I've ever read/heard, can't wait to sink my fangs into it.

Schwab has a way with words that is so evocative and lyrical. Each chapter lingers in your mind long after the next has started and leaves you wanting more. It's ironic that this book is about female hunger and that Maria specifically says that she has always been hungry because this sample of Schwab's newest title left me hungry for more.

"Bury my bones in the midnight soil, plant them shallow and water them deep, and in my place will grow a feral rose, soft red petals hiding sharp white teeth."

Y'all. It's toxic. lesbian. vampires.

If you're anything like me, those three words are enough to make you want to snatch this on publication day. I've already set the pre-order on Amazon. Just in case you need more convincing, let me say that the production paired with the narrator's voice is just so moody and atmospheric. It felt like if Florence and the Machine were a novel. This is set up to be a twisted tale blending moral greyness with female rage.

I cannot wait for the full thing.

This caught my attention after reading the synopsis.
Love Julia Whelan as narrator.

Interesting story following three different women in different time periods with a shared connection.

May continue but lost my attention, was interested in Maria’s story

Thanks so much to NetGalley for a sneak peak of the audiobook. I’m beyond excited for the rest of the book. I just love V.E. Schwab and this book does not disappoint so far.

I am absolutely itching for the rest of this story to be released. The narration is fantastic and helped draw me further into the story of these womens lives.

Thank you V.E. Schwab, Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the audio SNEAK PEEK. It definitely left me wanting more!

I cannot wait to hear the full audio about these three women's lives. This approximately 3-hour audio sneak gave me a good-sized peek into what's to come, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The narration is superb, and the undercurrent of revenge has me eagerly awaiting June 10 so I can finish this incredible story!

SHE DOES IT AGAIN. Obsessed and can't wait for the rest of the book. Thank you NetGalley for the sneak peak!

The audio is so atmospheric! There are interconnected stories of three women across centuries: Maria (1532), Charlotte (1837), and Alice (2019), all of whom are vampires and share a hunger for something beyond their existence. I’m enjoying all of the women’s stories especially Maria’s story. I’m really excited to get a physical copy of this book.

This was obviously a sneak peak and not the whole novel; but V E Schwab is a literary genius and I am so excited to actually get to read this novel.

I love being able to listen to it while I’m reading along. I always enjoy Immersive reading way more than one or the other. I will definitely grab the full audiobook for this one!

I’ve been hearing a lot about this book and have heard even more about V.E. Schwab’s other works. However, this is actually the first time I’ve read anything by her. While I’ve been meaning to check out some of her other titles, this one didn’t initially catch my interest. The two things I kept hearing about it (1. Vampires, and, 2. Sapphic Romance), aren’t usually topics I gravitate towards.

That said, after listening to this preview, I can understand why so many people love her work. The story is captivating from the start, and the writing flows so well that it honestly feels like you’re being pulled through the pages.

While I’m still unsure if the full book will end up being a favorite, I’m definitely intrigued enough to continue. I’ll be adding this to my TBR and plan to continue reading to see where it leads!

Thank you, NetGalley and Macmillan Audio, for providing this audiobook for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

What an amazing teaser of this book! Netgalley let me listen to the first 12 chapters (4 hours) of this audio book and I can tell it is going to be really good. Multiple pov over different time periods. I loved Addie Larue by this author. Can't wait to finish this book when it comes out in a few weeks!

Just picked up a full copy of this because the sneak peak had me hooked!! Very eager to continue the story...

I knew I wouldn't get an ARC for this highly anticipated novel but when a sneak peek became available I jumped on it.
I can't wait to read this novel in its entirety. These twelve first chapters have me invested in the storylines of Maria, Alice and Lottie. I need to get this book so I find out what happens next, as so far the initial chapters are for setting up the story but we haven't come to the crux of the story (IE bring on the lesbian vampires- hinted at but not fully seen.
I am interested in how the storylines entwine and the fate of our heroines, especially Maria, full of rage and spite. I need a happy ending for her.
I will be picking up the full book when it comes out on June 10th so that I can see what happens next for our heroines, but until then, thank you to Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for an ARC sneak peek in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for providing a sneak peek of this book! Addie LaRue was one of the first books after I got back into reading that completely captivated me. V.E. Schwab entranced me with her writing style and storytelling which made me thrilled when I first saw this book and the description. In the first 12 chapters, the writing was beautiful and intriguing with the narrators enhancing the story with their performance. While some background information was revealed, this sneak peek left me desperate to figure out the fate of the characters and how the three main characters lives will intertwine. Although these chapters were just skimming the surface of the characters, plot, and storylines so far, all of the elements that captivated me previously in V.E. Schwab’s writing are alive and strong in this book (even though I know the characters soon won’t be “alive”). This makes me so excited for when I can get my hands on the rest. Thank you again for the opportunity for this sneak peek. It seems to me V.E. Schwab did it again and I cannot wait to see the story unfold!
