Sneak Peek Review (12 chapters)
This is my first VE Schwab book and I’ve read the first 12 chapters from the audiobook sneak peek. I’m so intrigued by each of these characters and their perspectives. So, far we have heard 3 POVs and I’m wondering where these stories will converge.
We start out sometime in the 1500s and end up in 2019! All of the women seem to be roughly the same age. Early 20s. All of them seemingly want to run away from something.
The story presents very gloomy or dark vibes. I’m sure to paint a sinister picture of what’s to come. I will share a full review when I finish this book.

WOW! What an incredible audiobook and story. I am absolutely hooked from chapter 1 through the end of the preview and I cannot wait to see what happens next.. I know that I would enjoy reading this book physically, but the choices in the narrators for the audiobook just fit the story so well and add an additional layer of depth. The writing is absolutely poetic and I do not know why I waited this long to consume something from V. E. Schwab.

The narration for the book is good, but unfortunately I did not get enough of the story to determine if I wanted to continue.

I was so excited to be able to listen the sample chapters and devoured them in the same day I received it! I love the dual storyline, especially Maria's and I am on pins and needles for release day so I can continue the story. Schwab's writing is effortlessly fabulous and rich, alway drawing me into the the lives of the characters. I loved the audio narration by Julia Whelan, Katie Leung and Marisa Calin and can't wait to continue. I was holding back requesting the e-book, hoping the full audio would be available. I loved the production so much I would like to experience it in its entirety, and will definitely be re-listening to the portion I habe already heard!
I can't wait to know the whole story and I'm sure I will be amazed.

This sneak peek of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil sets the tone perfectly—moody, lyrical, and unsettling in the best way. The narration is immersive, pulling you straight into a Southern Gothic world where secrets lurk just beneath the surface. It gave me chills, and I need more. One star held back only because I’m dying to hear the rest. Bring on the full audiobook!

This was fantastic audio, Julia Whelan; Katie Leung; Marisa Calin do a fantastic job. The story is mesmerizing and I was completely enthralled from the first chapter. You can clearly differentiate between the characters and the narrators bring the story to life. We have only met Alice and Maria at this point but I am dying to find out what happens next. I am positive this will be one of my favorite listens of the year.
I am begging you Macmillan Audio, please have mercy on me and send me the full audio!

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for a sneak peek into Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by VE Schwab. This has the makings of a best selling audiobook! Julia Whelan, Katie Leung, and Marisa Calin are exceptional and I cannot wait to continue the audiobook upon release.

I feel like they played with my heart by only providing a sneak peek. I saw this as a BOTM option and was curious. Honestly, the synopsis didn’t pull me, wasn’t sure if it was my vibe. I can tell you now that I have never slammed the make it my BOTM option so hard. I cannot wait for this to come so I can devour the rest of the book.

Thank you for the free audio!I have not yet ready any of V. E. Schwab, I know it’s crazy! This narration got me very excited and intrigued. Just enough to keep me captive and engaged. I will definitely be adding this to my tbr and so should you!

This is going to be such a good book. Im so bummed that this is just a sample. I was so hooked. I love each timline and character and can't what to finish the story.

When I spotted this book on NetGalley, I was instantly excited—only to realize it was just a preview, which definitely brought a little heartbreak. Still, that short glimpse totally did its job: it hooked me. The dual timelines unfolding side by side pulled me right in, and I’m already emotionally invested in both characters. I could feel the tension building and the pieces beginning to connect, and now I’m counting down the days until I can get my hands on the full story.
Even though it was just a teaser, it gave me exactly what I needed to know this book belongs on my must-read list. The writing had this perfect balance of intrigue and heart, and the pacing was just right to keep me flipping pages. I’ve already put in a request at my local library because there’s no way I’m missing out on how this all unfolds. If the rest of the book is anything like this preview, I have a feeling it’s going to be one I won’t be able to put down.

I have not read a V.E. Schwab book before, but I now understand all the praise this author receives. The first twelve chapters of this book had me entranced. I have read the inspiration for this book, Carmilla. I believe the author, especially from Maria's point of view, does an amazing job of capturing the atmosphere and vibe of the original text. I am excited to continue this book!

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!
