I am obsessed with this sneak peek and I cannot wait to read the entire book!!!! VE Schwab is incredible and I want to live inside of her words and I will be buying and reading this book on release day (I’ve already preordered so I can get a signed copy!)

A sneak peek is not enough! But these few chapters made me eager to read the rest of the book. V.E. Schwab is an amazing author. I can't wait to read/listen to the rest.

Oh my goodness!!! I saw this sneak peek for a Listen Now and immediately downloaded it because V.E Schwab is one of my favorite fantasy authors. Vicious, Venegeful, and Addie LaRue are books I think about constantly so this book has been highly anticipated for me! This sneak peek ALC is the first 12 chapters of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. It is narrated by Julia Whelan (one of my favorite female narrators!!!) , Katie Leung, and Marisa Calin. All the narrators did a fantastic job and solidified my idea of immersive reading this book with the audiobook when I get a physical copy!! .

The book immediately hooked me into the world wanting to learn everything about our characters and the dynamics! Each narrator tells the story in a intriguing, mysterious, and entrapping way. V.E. Schwab's writing was beautiful, well paced, and gritty. I already have my physical copy preordered but I can't wait to listen to the audiobook as well!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for allowing me to listen to the Sneak Peek!

I’m not sure what you want me to say. I was given only 10% of the book so I can’t review it. The beginning seemed like it’s going to be a great read, but the story isn’t even set up yet. I don’t think anyone can accurately review a book with only 10% of the story. I’m happy to review the entire book, but I don’t have enough information at this point. I didn’t realize it wasn’t the whole book when I agreed to review it.

What do you mean I need to wait another month to listen to the rest of this????

Julia Whelan, Katie Leung & Marisa Calin already have me hooked on this story. Phenomenal narrators & story telling. I am so so excited for the rest of this!

Thank you MacMillan & NetGalley for the sneak peak!

Agree with others that I forgot this was a sneak peak and kept trying to get to the next chapter when it ended. I cannot wait to finish and hate that I have to wait on this one. I loved the dual perspective and witchy sapphic vibe! V. E. Schwab never disappoints.

The only three words I needed to draw me in: Toxic. Lesbian. Vampires. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into the rest of this when it comes out!!!

I almost forgot this wasn't the entire book. Even after I finished, I kept thinking about going back to it. I loved all the narrators, they really made this an immersive experience for the short time. I already have ideas and predictions brewing. This is simply a confirmation that I, indeed, need this book when it debuts.

Thank you NetGalley & Macmillan for the audio ARC sneak peek! I haven’t read anything from Schwab since “The Invisible Life Addie LaRue”, but this book sounded intriguing. I cannot wait until the full release because from this excerpt, I am sure this will be one of my favorite books of the month upon release — possibly even the year.

I don’t know how I am expected to wait until July for the rest of this book. It is perfection. And the audio is phenomenal.

The audiobook for this is so amazing! The accents and how expressive the voices are - you can feel the emotions so strongly. I cannot wait to read the entirety of the book next month!

I've never read VE Schwab but have heard nothing but great things. This sampler only emphasizes that praise. The three storylines are equally intriguing. The writing is strong. The narrators seem to be doing an amazing job. Can't wait for this to be released so I can finish!!

This story flips between three different women, in three different countries, separated by hundreds of years. Although I am not sure how their stories will intertwine, I love who they are turning out to be. Schwab as a way of describing things so that the images created in your mind are in 4K. Even though this story takes place in real places on Earth, it seems to teeter that line between real and magical. The narrators have different accents that perfectly match their characters. I’m so excited to read the rest.

Intriguing and evocative, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is a tale readers can lose themselves in. It's woven in such a way that feels both grounded and fantastical. Like Schwabs past works, each page bleeds with humanity in all it grit and glory.

The narration adds an otherworldly feel with the nuanced choices ( be each and every narrator!) feeling reminiscent of a storyteller spinning a tale fireside. I have the physical book on preorder but this audio preview has cemented the fact that I will need an audio version too!!!

Oh my goodness 😍😍😍 this is just amazing. Thank you so much for the sneak peek. I can not wait to buy this book when it comes out. VE Schwab has such an amazing talent to write such beautifully crafter characters. I love the way she describes her stories, it just feels so vivid.

Thank you, NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for allowing me to experience this Sneak Peek. The opinion in this review is my own.

This is the first 12 chapters of VE Schwab’s newest book. Narrated by Julia Whelan, Katie Leung, and Marisa Calin. I’m very familiar with Julia Whelan, who in my opinion, is the GOAT of female audiobook narrators. She does great with male and female voices. I’m not as familiar with Katie Leung and Marisa Calin, but they also did a tremendous job and were perfect for their parts.

I wish this were the whole book because once I got started,d I wanted to continue. It grabbed my attention, and I’m looking forward to finishing it. The writing was beautiful and well paced. I will seek this one out to finish.
