My thanks for the sneak peek of the first 12 chapters. I loved “The Invisible Life of LaRue” (I’m feeling some familiar vibes) and I’d pay to hear anything narrated by Julia Whelan. I’ve pre-ordered both book and audio, so this was a nice reminder that in a few weeks I’ll experience the rest of the story. But…what is the rest? I’ve met 20 year old Maria in the 1500s in Spain, married to a brute who only wants her womb to produce an heir and Alice, a Harvard freshman from Scotland, experiencing a one night encounter with the ethereal Lottie. Both of them will eventually die — but how and with how much grief? I’m not sure I’ve felt the “hook” I need yet to continue. Nevertheless, I probably will. 4 stars.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for an advanced audio copy!

Unfortunately I can't give a very thorough review, I only listened to the sample audio as an advanced release. However, from what I WAS able to listen to, the narration was fantastic! I caught interest for the characters and where the story was going, I just didn't get enough of the story to get an idea of where things might end up.

The writing style is different from what I tend to read and I would probably need to listen rather than read the story. I'm absolutely going to grab a copy when it releases and provide a more detailed review. I think readers that enjoy a more formal and detail oriented story will really like this one!

I enjoyed the narrator. I thought she switched dialects quite well. I wrote a review of the book already.

OMG the selected narrators are perfection! I can't wait to listen to the full audiobook in June. Only having a sneak peek is a cruel kind of torture.

Thank you Macmillan and NetGalley for the complimentary sneak peak of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I never read but heard great things about V. E. Schwab. Now I understand all the praise. The writing style is impeccable, I wanted to write down and memorize so many sentences as they were expressing interesting thoughts and observations. The beginning of the story is interesting and I wonder where it is going.

The narrators were great in portraying the characters and their emotions.

I am obsessed with what I listened to. So much so that I was deeply devastated when I discovered that this was only the first 12 chapters of the book. I cannot wait to give a more through review once the book itself is out.

This was only the first few chapters, and I'm already hooked. I can't wait to get more of these characters, this story, and this world. The narrators were wonderfully chosen for each character, and their take on it really pulls you into the world! A truly immersive, compelling, hungry world.

well this one sounded like my cup of tea and a good place to try out Schwab again, unfortunately I didn't enjoy this sneak peek but I think that is more on me than on the preview

This book is coming up on one of my book subscriptions and I was wondering if I would like it since I hadn’t read the author before so I was happy when I saw this sneak peek available. I absolutely devoured it and wanted MORE immediately. I am DEFINITELY getting this book in whatever editions I can because it’s just SO good.

Thank you to NetGalley, V.E. Schwab, and Tor UK for the advanced sneak peak copy of the first few chapters. This gripping, time-spanning novel weaves together the lives of three fierce women: María in 1532 Spain, Charlotte in 1827 London, and Alice in 2019 Boston. Each of them confronting the constraints of their time with people’s expectations of them, love, desire, autonomy, and rage. Once I have access to complete the book I will update my review.

This was only a Sneak Peek of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, not the full book, but hoooooly moly I am so excited to read the entire book! This sample had me so hooked. V.E. Schwab's writing is impeccable, and the melodic pace of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue continues in Bury Our Bones. I'm even more impatiently awaiting the book now that I've listened to the sneak peek. The characters are so vibrant and vivacious, I'm already attached to them, and I'm both anxiously excited and terrified to see what happens to them. I'm honestly mad at myself for picking up the sneak peek because now I have to wait for the rest! This is going to be SO good, I can already tell.

I received a copy of this sneak peek from Netgalley in exchange for an honest and fair review.

I'm so excited to read the whole book! This is the perfect set of narrators for the VE Schwab's vampy new release. Thank you to Macmillan and Netgalley for the sneak peak.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a sneak peek audio arc.

How tortuous.. These 12 chapters left me right on edge just when I was falling over into full character attachment.. Why did I do this to myself?! I am so intrigued, and we didn’t even scratch the vampire surface!

Seems like some hot messy feminine rage is on the menu and I am ready to EAT.

The narrators were wonderful and made the multiple timelines and jumps easy to follow while staying immersed in each story.

Can’t wait to see where this story goes I like the style of the writing it helped paint a more vivid picture of the story , reminds me for Dracula in that way. You picture everything because of the way the narrators reads the details

I cannot wait to be able to finish the rest of this story. Beautiful prose and female rage. VE Schwab is the one of the only authors I will buy and read from. They are a master of storytelling, and I can tell BOBITMS will be no different.

This was so fun to have a sneak of V.E. Schwab's upcoming release BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL. It's revealing itself to be highly atmospheric and already loving Maria our MC. I've pre-ordered my copy of the book, so this tease was a great way to hold me over til it arrives and hype me up to read it. Julia Whelan is, as always, a delight as narrator. Can't wait!

It’s hard to rate only the first 12 chapters, or 20% of a book, but this sneak peek has me intrigued. It’s slow to start, but it’s built up so much interest that I am excited to see where Alice, Lottie, and Maira end up.

I am so beside myself!! I was just listening along and it stopped and I thought to myself, surely I haven't reached chapter 12 yet ... But I have!!

That just shows you how good this book is! Great author, great story and great narrators! I was immersed and it had me hooked immediately! I loved the different timelines and the back and forth between them was seamless!

Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to the first 12 chapters! All opinions are my own.

First I’d like to thank Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for the early sample of this book.

I’m very excited about this upcoming book and this first sample was fantastic.

I should have waited closer to the release date as now I’m can’t wait to read/listen to the book.

5/5 stars

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the review copy.

OMG...I was on the fence about this book at first, but so happy I was able to listen to a snippet. I can't wait to get a copy of this in my book box sub.
