BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL
Sneak Peek
V.E. Schwab

Narrated by Julia Whelan; Katie Leung; Marisa Calin

I had the best time reading BURY OUR BONES.

The combination of expert narration and great writing leads to a transportive world. BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL is genre-straddling and doing a fantastic job on all sides.

Atmosphere rolls off the narrator’s tongue as if it were steeped in honey . I feel like I could listen to the audiobook every morning to be inspired to be reminded that great literature exists today, and you may find it in a romance novel, in historical fiction tale, or as it is here, in a story about vampires.

The only problem that I had with the audiobook was its length. This sneak peek was way too short.

Thanks to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for the advanced copy!

I cannot wait to read the whole thing!

BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL…⭐⭐⭐⭐

What an incredibly gripping first few chapters. It's very atmospheric, and you can immediately tell things are not what they seem. In true V. E. Schwab fashion, the writing is so vivid, the words painting a picture before you. But the narrators are truly the cherry on top. Julia Whelan sucks you in and Katie Leung and Marisa Calin do not let you go. I'm fascinated by Maria and the cliffhanger has me staring at the calendar, wishing and willing the days to pass because I simply cannot wait for the full release.

This is literally my most anticipated read of the year!! V E Schwab can't make anything less than masterpieces!
I love the tripple pov. The chosen voice actresses truly brings this story alive. I can't wait to read the rest.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for providing me with this ARC.

I’m sure this achieves every single goal of providing a sneak peek. Having listened to what amounts to the first almost hundred pages of ‘Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil’ I’m hooked. Chomping at the bit to finish the story. The writing is captivating as always for VE Schwab, there’s a brilliant tension in establishing the world, and all three of our main characters are compelling. I absolutely love Maria especially and need to know what happens next.

The hardest part is that now I’ll be finishing the physical format instead of continuing with audiobook- I absolutely can’t wait for release to finish this. Which is a bit of a shame because the audio is brilliantly done. The actress has such a pleasant voice and is so smooth creating accents and voices for characters. I’m sure I’ll be happy to read the book in any manner but the audio is absolutely something I’ll be recommending

This is a hook from the beginning. Lesbians vampires and a Florence + the Machine vibes? I’m all in. My biggest complaint was I only got a sneak peek! Need more asap!
Note: I’m grateful to the publisher for an ARC sneak peek of the audio, the first three hours, in exchange for an honest review.

I got the privilege to listen to the first 12 chapters of this book early, and I cannot wait until the full audiobook is released! This is my first book by this author, which I know is shocking, because I hear about her books all the time! I loved the 3 different POVs and time periods, the different narrators and their accents, they all did a phenomenal job! So far looking like a 5 star book! Thank you Netgalley for the early sneak peek listener copy

OMG this narrator cast is PHENOMINAL!! Julia is an all-time fav, and I love a good accent!

I was lucky enough to read this entire book early in January - but my goodness, I cannot wait to listen to the full audiobook!

Schwab is QUEEN! I love the prose, how different these three FMCs are, and that we got to hear the Easter Egg from Addie in this audiobook teaser!

Read first 12 chapters sneak peak (thank you Macmillan audio!)

This is definitely going to be between 4-5 stars!!

VE Schwab is just so good at creating l vivid pictures while I'm reading. she uses metaphor like nobody else - absolutely fantastic writing. I'm so intrigued as to how everything is gonna be connected.

The narration is also great, love the three separate narrators for the three different women. I'm excited to do this as an immersive read once I get my physical copy and the audio in hand.

This is an EXCELLENT sneak peek! I was already looking forward to Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil and this has me wishing its release date was even sooner! The narrators are all so incredibly good and it was such a good idea to have three to voice each character's part of the story. Truly, cannot wait for this to release and continue. I'll be picking it up the second it does!

EXCELLENT NARRATION. I was approved to read an advance copy of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil through NetGalley and loved the book. I was excited to listen to a sneak peek of the audiobook as a fan and since a lot of patrons at my library prefer audiobooks. I really enjoyed the use of three different narrators for the three main characters of this book. I've already recommended a number of people to listen and/or read to this book when it's out!

I cannot wait to read the whole book. I was stocked to have listened a sneak peak of the audiobook. Definitely going to finish reading this book once it comes out. I did enjoy the voice of the narrator.

Received a sneak peak from Net Galley!

Really looking forward to reading/listening to the rest of this book! It draws you in immediately! The audio narrator is perfect with great variations in voices for each character. Another wonderful book from V.E. Schwab!

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for this advanced copy! You can pick up Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil on June 10, 2025.

V.E. Schwab can do no wrong. Her writing is lush and inviting in this book, immediately drawing you in with little context. I'm already invested in Maria, Alice, and Lottie's stories, and I can't wait to see how they intertwine. Bring on the vampires!

This audiobook sneak peak had me wishing I was listening to the full audiobook. The way the narrator has different voices for each character really helped me feel immersed into the story. As for the story, I was very interested in not only the multiple points of view but also the different timelines. I enjoy being able to see more than one characters pov. Without reading the blurb it would be difficult to understand what exactly this book is about just based on the sneak peak but regardless it was captivating.

I loved the 12-chapter sneak peek of the audiobook! The three narrators make it easy to follow the three main characters through their different time periods. I enjoyed the preview and will buy the full audiobook when available.

Great to hear the sample audiobook along side my sample ebook! I thought the narrators did a good job and I look forward to reading the full story when it publishes in June!

This sneak peek was so good. I can not wait for this to come out next month! Where the sample ended really leaves you wanting more. Lol. I'm very curious to learn how everyone is connected. I can already tell this will be a 5 star book.

What do you do when a sneak peek is just not enough? Bury our bones in the midnight soil is about a toxic sapphic relationship between vampires across multiple timelines. Can I wait for the book to come out on June 10th.

I love most books by V.E. Schwab, but I am already hooked! The multiple timelines, the character Maria - who is a total badass - and the different narrators. It all sucked me in and I cannot wait for the release date so that I can finish the rest of the story!!

This was an intriguing sample of the book and I can't wait to see how the characters' stories start to come together and how vampirism plays a role. And the narrators are incredible!
